Olympic Day

 Monday

 Monday it poured and flooded the streets so bad that we stayed home from swim  She played in the puddles before it got too bad!

 Tuesday morning it was raining so much that we took our picture inside the garage and wore our rain boots to school/work.

 Wednesday

 We got our summer swim schedule . . . it's making summer seem like it'll be here soon!

 Thursday

 Friday was Olympic Day at Madison's school. 

 It's similar to Field Day when I was a kid but has bounce houses, carnival games, food and more.

 These pictures are blurry but she was a pro at getting the chicken to fly through the air and into the hole.

All the games were a lot of fun.

 Tug-of-war was moved into the hallway because of the rain.

 

 Mrs. Hisey's class beat every other 1st grade class then lost in the championship.

 Selfie in her classroom waiting on the pizza to be delivered.

 Then her class went to the water activities outside.

 Matt and I took off for lunch real quick then made it back to see her shivering and playing in the water.

 Then it was back to the classroom to dry off, change clothes and have another Bahama Buck's snow cone

 Madi couldn't wait until the 50 yard dash relay (in the cafeteria due to rain!).

 She won third place in her class.  We need to visit about not looking around when you're running!

 Class picture for her student teacher Ms. Schuessler's last day. 

 Sweet friends - Madi & Sidney!

 As if that wasn't enough excitement for one day we met the Daniels for dinner at BJs. 

 Then the girls wanted to take pictures on the bikes outside of Red Robin. 

 Now we're gearing up for a fun Mother's Day weekend!

Piano Recital 2015

 Friday night we meet our friends the Kings at Roadhouse for dinner.

 Then we played hide 'n seek with a ball out front. 

 Her turn to seek! 

 Saturday morning I finally gave in again and straightened her hair.

 Beautiful.  But I still love her curly hair more!

 We were twins with our matching IABC church shirts, black pants, tennis shoes and straight hair.  On our way to volunteer at the South Plains Food Bank.  It was the best way to spend our Saturday morning.  

 Saturday evening we went and watched Aunt Shelle sub in an indoor soccer game with our old team.

 Madi had to have a pickle pop. 

 Any excuse to get these two together . . .

 They played the entire hour!

 Our church holds a SpringFest each May.  They cook out hamburgers and have bounce houses, face painting, balloon animals, snow cones and even more!

 Daddy got to wear her flower balloon bracelet while she was in the bounce house.  

 We changed in the car and went straight to Madison's Spring piano recital.

 She was the 3rd to play and was recognized for her performance in the Week Folk Recital back in March.

 

 Getting lined up for a group photo.

Our Piano Player!

She did an amazing job. 

I'm still shocked with how well she can memorize her piece and play in front of all those people from memory!

Getting ready . . .

 Monday

 We've been getting ready for our spring piano recital . . .

 Tuesday

 Wednesday 

 Wednesday night at dinner, Madi said her loose tooth was hurting but not to pull it.  So I felt it wiggle and started talking to her about something else so she wouldn't even realize I pulled it out. :)  It worked!  We are down 7 teeth!

The Tooth Fairy came (even though she knows it just Mom and Dad) and brought her a fun Rubik's cube. 

 Thursday - all ready for school with one less tooth!

 Went to Costco with Stephanie on Thursday just to get out of the office for a while and found Speedo swimsuits on sale for Madison.  Woohoo!  Since her team swims during the summer we were in need of new suits. 

Friday

We have a fun weekend planned!
