Warrior Dash-Top Ten!

The Top Ten Things I will Remember from the Warrior Dash

10)  Candace running around the first obstacle because she didn't want to wait in line and get muddy.  Really Candace?!

9)  The chunks of mud that was being pulled out of various parts of clothing.

8)  Carmen walking into 5 Points Pizza with no shoes, getting busted by a customer, and then shopping at the Family Dollar (with bars on the windows) for flip flops.

7)  That man in his tighty whiteys dancing all alone.

6)  Me falling in the tires and Candace about to pee herself from laughing.

5)  The mud bras

4)  Changing in the parking area and making our own dressing rooms.

3)  Slippery Mud-Candace and Amy could not stand up.

2)  Amy diving in and doing the breaststroke through the mud, while I high stepped and ducked under the barbed wire.

1)  Poor Carmen getting mud kicked in her face while Amy "swam."

Busy Weekend!

We had a busy weekend!  We started out with Reesi and Elye going to the school tailgate party with Larry, while I went to Jenny's baby shower.  I still can't believe Piper Wren is getting so close!  Saturday I spent my day running the Warrior Dash with Amy, Candace, and Carmen.  It was a ton of fun and we can't wait to do another one.  I am trying to talk them into the 10 mile Tough Mudder.  I know Candace is in!  We ended the weekend with a quick, quick trip to the zoo and a Carrie Underwood concert.  Mary Taylor, Reesi's sweet friend, had extra tickets. Reesi and I went to Chuy's with her and her mom and then to the concert.  It was Reesi's first concert and she definitely enjoyed it! My house is a mess, but we had a fun weekend!

We Climbed Nashville

Reesi had the big idea of going to Nashville Shores Labor Day weekend, but the weather did not cooperate.  So we planned a fun indoor day to make up for it.  It was a fun day with the Griffins and Ballards.  We hit three local dives for brunch, ice cream (Bobby's Dairy Dip), and and dinner.  They were all fantastic and better with friends.  We also went to Climb Nashville to rock climb.  Everybody loved it and it was a great workout for our legs and arms!  Larry also shared his bucket list with everyone.  This list includes all the random things within 200 miles that he wants to do.  It was is summer bucket list, but since it didn't get finished it lives on.  Currently, he is trying to talk everyone into going to Lebanon to see some animal with a human head.  We shall see if he can talk everyone into that one!

Wade Family Reunion

Bye Bye Baby Bed

Recently, we moved Elye into her big girl bed totally against her will.  I think she would have stayed in her baby bed until kindergarten, but my big sis has a baby on the way so it was time to pass on the baby bed.  Elye was excited when we went and bought her new Lalaloopsy bed tent.  However, once the lights went out she was crying for her baby bed.  We have had several late night and early morning mornings, but she is finally sleeping in her baby bed.  She is still not happy about it.  Over the past two weeks we have heard her say things like,
-let's sneak over to Jenny's and take the baby bed.  I decided that.
-I just can't do it.  It's too scary.  (with her hands over her eyes)
-No, I want my tiny bed.
-Jenny's baby can sleep here with me.
And those are only the ones I can remember.  She is adamant that she doesn't ever want to grow up.  I wonder how long she will still talk about her precious baby bed.
