Friends & Family Day 2015

Monday, 5/18/15

And what would Friends & Family be if it were not cold freezing and windy :) of course! Here's Lauren's fan club! Click here Friends & Family day 2014

Getting a little bit better at this... chairs for all of us, check. Blankets for all of us, check. Hats/coats/mittens for all of us, check. :)


4th grade crew!





We pulled up just as she was done with her girls-only relay... but caught the Co-Ed relay

Piggy back race w/Frankie

3-legged race w/Keeley


And the results...

You see how Lydia & LeaAnn just wiggle themselves right in :)

1st place girls relay


2nd place co-ed relay


1st place 3-legged race

Lauren & Frankie 3rd place piggy-back race


Lauren & Keeley 1st place 3-legged race

New this year, it was so cold, they let us come inside and eat in the gym!

I got teary-eyed for this... 2nd grade. I thought it would take forever to get into the field-day portion of Friends & Family day... and now, Lindsay will be in 3rd grade...




So good, Mr. Brown does such a great job!!!


Adding onto the craziness of the day... I head to Fareway... tire is low, drop kids off at Fareway, run van to Cy & Charleys, run (literally) back to Fareway, shop, C&C drive van over to pick us up... we go back to C&C to pay... and then we're on our way home.

Only to have another low air light come on this morning... whew... can't win for losing! ;)  Here's the 2 carts we had to unload... and then head to softball games after that!!!  It's an experience... let me tell you what. But wouldn't trade it for anything. Those girls up above... what awesome girls they are.

Soccer & Toad races

Saturday, 5/16

We amazingly did get on the road in time (and packed - ha!) to leave for soccer in Independence & Cedar Falls, and to leave from there to go to Jody & Brent's for the night and Emma's birthday party. Here is Lindsay in action! 



How cute is this??? Mr. CJ & LeaAnn







And Lauren in action! With coach Garry Anderson


Lindsay also took a gander at taking pics... she does a great job!







Love, love, love these next pictures!!

LOOK at them!!!  Oh... almost takes my breath away they are so big... my four girls. FOUR girls... not babies, not toddlers... but grown-up girls.... makes my heart ache.


Fast forward... a tiring drive over, but we made it! Cousin fun with toad races!




The contestants :) only 2 casualties... the blocks fell over and SPLAT... :)

how big are they?!?









Ummmm... can we say a mini-Jody or what?!?








My camera died... so kickball fun, the Raefield's, and Emma's princess party are all pics that I do not have... I'll have to wait for Jod to share them with me.  Had a wonderful time, priceless memories! :D
