little red race

We did it! 70 miles in the Little Red race.  Its a super fun event with all women.
My cousin Tiffiny joined the fun and made it a fun ride.  

My family, my mom, and aunt were all there cheering us on.  

Thanks for the support~ 

Next year we are going for the 100~  any takers? 

more of May...

More May happenings...

The Black & White Days parade in Richmond.  

Karden, Seth and Rylie waiting for candy. 

Mike drove this truck in the parade with Bode.  Bode was loving it and Mike thought there was a TON of candy.  They were throwing it pretty liberally.  A few blocks into it, a few more kids in the back throwing candy and soon they were out and just had to wave!  HA HA 

Oh yard work... no one warned how fun a new house is, but how horrible expensive and time consuming a yard is...  Bode playing in any mud he can and is in heaven doing it.  

 Ryie playing kickball at her field day at school.  

Little dude just watching all the kids, trying to decide if he is ready for school or not. 

 Last day of school for Rylie, she has grown so much this year.  We are SO proud of her. 

Gotta love a good dad!!  Mike volunteered for the dunk tank during the 1st grade school carnival.
How cool is that.  Rylie was pretty proud of her dad.  

Bode really wanted his training wheels off, after a little practice he figured it out and we are now riding all over.  He loves to take us for bike rides. 

dance recital 2014...

This is the night!  This is the night she has been waiting for all year long.  THE DANCE RECITAL!  

She knew her jazz and ballet dance really well and did a great job!  

Way to go Rylie!

 We are wearing the same lipstick! She loved doing her makeup! 

 I love my girl! 

After the great performance, we celebrated at our house with banana splits... anyway you want them!

Grandpa & Grandma Smith and Beckstead celebrated the evening with us. 

spring SOCCER wrapup...

OH I love being a soccer mom!  I helped this year with Rylie's team and it was a lot of fun!  

Rylie has learned to love it and it makes me really happy.  I hope it continues for a long time. 

 Eclipse!

The Beetles!

Bode was a nervous wreck playing, he hated being on the field without me!  But each time it got a bit better, we have some nervousness to work on.  He is just barely old enough to play but looks like he should be playing for years.  I hope next year is a little easier on him

We had two games without tears so he got to go get a snow cone.  It makes a great reward for Bode, check out the happiness NOW!
