End of Pre K

We were so sad that Pre K came to an end.  Olivia LOVED going to school and loved her teachers.  They of course know everything according to Olivia.  If Ms. Stacy says it, it is true no matter if mommy or daddy said it before.  The last month was filled with sports and summer fun in their centers.

Her Pre K celebration was precious.  They played instruments and sang a song. 

The last day of Pre K they had one last field trip! I was so sad that I couldn't go because it was my last day of school too! They had a fun time!

Dance Recital

This past Saturday was Olivia's dance recital.  It was a busy day too! Brendon had a bike race, so we went to the race, zoomed home to get ready, and then off to the recital!  She actually did pretty good this year...we just need to get her to smile!

Mother's Day

This year for mother's day we went to church and had breakfast at church.  After church we came home for some coffee and then decided to go to Stone Mountain.  We haven't been in a long time to climb the large piece of granite!  We weren't sure if Olivia could do it but she could!! Such a fun day and it was perfect weather. 

Kindergarten Here We Come!

The first week of May we had kindergarten registration.  Basically filling out paper work and then Olivia gets a brief assessment.  She was so excited to be at my school! She loved coloring a Tiger picture and then meeting one of the teachers!

Then last week Olivia got to go to Kindergarten Round Up.  Basically she spent about 30 minutes in a kindergarten classroom.  She did some centers/games.  Then we took a tour of the school. Then got to have a snack in the cafeteria and finally a school bus ride! Too bad she won't be riding the bus! Riding the bus was her favorite part!!

Nashville

 Since the end of January I started training to run the Rock and Roll Nashville Half Marathon.  I printed out a training schedule and really tried to stick to it.  It was hard.  I was running 4 times a week and cross training 2 days.  I couldn't stick to the days per say on the schedule at times but I really tried my best.  Towards the end I really had a hard time with squeezing in long runs- weather, schedule, sickness...it all factored in.

We left on Friday and it took forever to get there.  It was traffic jam after traffic jam.  We finally got there and stopped to get my race packet.  Then it was off to the house we rented and to dinner, very yummy pizza!!

 I had been watching the weather all week.  The weather was all over the place...I prepped for rain.  Then that morning when I woke up I checked the weather again...no rain.  The weather channel lied...it poured! The race was delayed due to lightning.  Then finally after 2 delays it started.  I went without headphones due to it raining.  There was enough music along the way so I didn't mind it.  But boy....was it hilly.  Hill after hill after hill...I was fine until mile 10.  I could feel my right calf starting to cramp.  So from then on it became a run a little bit, walk to recover, run a little bit, walk to recover.  I finished...2:22.  Not my best but I was proud of my training and the end result.  I think if my calf would have started to cramp I would have done better but I am proud of my time! Nashville was a beautiful city!

Then we did some exploring of downtown Nashville and went to the Grand Ole' Opry Saturday night.
