Fathers Day 2013

This year we had a pretty chill time.  Our church was having church at the park so we decided to skip and just head over to Harlan Ranch park and enjoy the morning.  After our family time there we headed to Antonios for lunch with Neils parents.  After that, they were awesome and watched our kiddos as we headed over to the movies to watch the Now You See Me.  It was a good flick and a great day!

End of School - 2013

Today was the last day of school for the kiddos- Yipee!!!! I am so excited!!!

Haven made a cute picture for her teachers and wrapped it up so cute for them.

J had a little bit more going on with his red carpet awards- so cute!
His teacher called each student up one at a time, we did a special
clap for them, then they walked the "red carpet" and she gave them
awards for their accomplishments from the year. It was so much fun!

Both of my kids got a small gift as a "good job" because they had
amazing report cards!!

Last Week of School- parties!

J had his year end party yesterday. Js class all signed tshirts that
they are to wear tomorrow on the last day of class. then the kids got
to eat ice cream sundaes, yum!!

H got to attend as well because I am a room mom and she was already
done for the day.

Then today J had his awards assembly where he got a certificate for
math master and writing master. He got a medal for his reading. Way to
go J!

Today was havens class party which really was just a trip to the park
and a hotdog picnic. But unfortunately I didn't get any pictures
because I was to busy chatting with other moms!!

Last week of school – Water day!

Yesterday the kids had water day. Havens class did some water stations
and then later in the day I got to go see J do his class water
station.

Haven's favorite was when they got to eat a popsicle. She wasn't much
into getting sprayed in the face. :)

Justus on the other hand really enjoyed all the water stations they had!

Bass Lake Triathlon

Yesterday Neil was recruited to run the 10k portion of an Olympic
Triathlon at Bass Lake with some guys from church. The kids and I
went up to cheer him on. It was such a beautiful morning!

Overall the team placed 3rd for relay teams!

Hume Womens retreat

I was able to go to the Hume Lake womens retreat again this year.  I went with 5 of my life group ladies and we had a great time!

Wrapping up Alabama

We did so much on our visit to my parents.  It was such a fun time!!

Sunday we spent the afternoon at Ms. Anita's.  My kids would ask to go to her house often.  I thought this was so funny because they had only really been there once before but they remembered it so well because of all the fun they had!  So we made sure to see Anita and ride her horses and play on the farm :)

So much fun at Anitas!

 We visited Talladega Super Speedway and took the tour.  We got to go out on the track and take pictures in the Winners circle.  So fun!

Then that same day we went to the McWayne center.  That was fun too.

 We visited Naccaloola falls and my high school alma mater.

Saks High, was never my favorite place

Desoto caverns was another must on my list so we got to go there with my mom.  That was a fun day!

Inside the cavern. H was a little tired!

Pre Easter park play date with the cousins!

Sweet cousins!

And of course Easter with all the family.  Such a blessing to spend that time with them!!
