My First Ever 5K!!!

Yep, this post is not about Pierce...it's about mama! I've been running some since we moved and it's actually strengthened my knees some. There was a color run a few weeks ago on campus that I thought about doing but I didn't have anyone to do it with me.  Literally, the night before a friend asked me to do it with her (ok, kind of pressured me), so at 10:00pm I signed up!  It was lots of fun, but doing a race that started at 10:00 makes it kind of hot.

Pierce and M were waiting at the finish line for me and he got covered in powder too.

Aubie was in full force to pump us up before the race!

It was the first 5K for both of us!

The Ecology Preserve

The last field trip of the year for the First Graders was a trip to the Ecology Preserve here in town. They learned about all types of wildlife (I skipped the snakes!), habitats, went on a nature hike, had a picnic, and made terrariums.  It's a pretty cool place which is literally right near our house.  We will definitely have to hit the trails again soon!

Terrarium fun!

Ballpark Friends

While Spring ball meant we were at the ballpark three times a week, it also meant that we got to see lots of friends! P and his daddy quickly turned it into social hour each week. Ha!

Pierce and his classmate, Micah.

He also started the ritual of painting his face with eye black like war paint.

With our sweet neighbor, Noah

And one of our favorite friends, Jones!  So glad to have a Hoover friend here with us!

A Day 2015

We had been out of town the weekend of the A Day game, but made it home just in time to go for a little while. We are still getting used to going to events on campus and seeing people that we know now from living here. Go tigers!!!

Pondering the next play he thinks they should make
