Elye's Field Day

I was lucky enough this year to get to be outside and help with field day all day this year, Which means I got to see this girl some.  She didn't want to get wet, which excluded several of the stations.  She quickly changed her mind and ended  up soaking wet.  

Tough Mudder

This year I decided to try the tough Mudder again, but this time it was with one of Reesi's friend's mom.  It was at Milky Way Farms in Polaski, TN.  After watching Tough Mudders Facebook page we had a clue that the biggest challenge was going to be the hills, but it was not even close to what we imagined. Right off we started with a ridiculously long hill straight up.  It was ten miles of this and I felt like I was trail running in the Smokey Mountains, but we made it through and I made it across the monkey bars again!!! We did it on a Sunday this time and it was so much more laid back and less crowded.  I was dreading doing it, but actually enjoyed it!!

Grandparents Day

This was Reesi's last grandparents day program.  I can't believe her elementary school days are gone.  After the program we headed to Mimi and Papoos for some pool time.  The water was cold but it was a beautiful day. 

Fun Meet

Elye had her first gymnastics meet today.  It was just a "fun" meet so everyone got medals. She did not want to do it but once she got there she has fun. Vault was her best event and she got second place for that.  

Party time

It is Elye's 6th birthday!  We celebrated with dinner with my side of the family the night before her birthday.  She got some shopkins from Mimi and Papoo and is in love!  A few days before her birthday Meemaw took her on a Toys R Us shopping spree and she got more shopkins, some underwear, stuffed animals, and  a frozen singing shirt. She had a blast!! She loves her shopkins so much I noticed them all packed in her school bag already for show and tell.

We celebrated the Sunday after her birthday with all her friends.  We played on the roller coaster, trampoline, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, face painting, painted a little wooden chest, planted seeds, and had a visit from Armstrong Animal Adventures.  They brought a wallaby, chinchilla, Patagonian cavy, singing dog, artic fox, hedgehog, and a ring tailed lemur. The kids had a blast playing!  

60th Anniversary

Granny and Papa celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Lesli and Austin came down to celebrate with us and Mimi threw a big bash at their church.  

Shopping the night before at Nordstroms

Elye and Reesi were supposed to be in charge of the guest book.  It didn't last long!

It's Softball Season!

Happy Easter

We spent our Easter going to church at my parents and then having a yummy meal that Mom made.  Their church had a "candy hunt," real baby bunnies, the Easter Bunny, and big Easter baskets for everyone.
