May fun!

Just a few more randoms from the month of May! The outdoor pool at our YMCA finally opened up and we are definitely soaking it in!

Me and my dude waiting at the Honda place for our car to get repairs. Felt i should document considering Marshall was the easiest kid to keep happy while being there. He was content to just lie down on the chair and have some snacks. ha! This kid! 

I took Marshall to Blackbird one day on a playdate and had a blast! We also went to a park with his buddies that day too:

Date night with the hubs!

My sweet girl sleeping with her doll. Too precious not to capture:

On this particular day, us moms had the genius idea to first workout, then meet at the pool while using our leftover childcare time for some uninterrupted sunbathing. It was the best idea ever! After feeling well rested, we went and got all the kids for a long afternoon of pool play. It was a good sunny day! 

Building a fort with our couches for movie night with dad:

More pool fun with our friends Leisa and Porter and their girls! They invited us over to their neighborhood pool. That water was so cold but kids still had a blast! ha! Ivy's friend is in the green suit, Ivy is wearing the purple:

Last day of school pictures! Had to get one with her wonderful teachers this year--Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Tritt! Marshall wanted to say "cheese" too. lol. We went to Krispy Kreme with the Mom's club that afternoon to celebrate being finished with school then went on a little walk along the Greenbelt with friends! 

And yes, more swimming! 

Finally, Ivy's first day vs. last day of school pics! She's grown a ton!

Runnnnn!

I've been going every Saturday morning on a run with my girlfriends to help out friend Shannon train for a half this summer! We usually run on the greenbelt about 10 minutes from my house and the scenes are always beautiful! The last picture is of our shoes because all of us happened to buy new running shoes in the past few months so we were admiring our new kicks! ;) Love these girls!!

Memorial Day kayaking

Didn't get too many pictures of this day because we were too busy having fun! Well that, and I really didn't want my phone to fall into the lake so I kept it tucked away for most of our trip until we were on shore! LOL! We drove down to Watauga Lake, not too far from here to do a little kayaking across the water! Packed a lunch and paddles all the way across to the other shoreline and set up picnic! This lake is gorgeous!! The mountains are tall and the water is a green/blue color and fairly clear. Not too busy either! Kids didn't do much swimming because there wasn't really any access to the water but they still had fun throwing things into the lake! And paddling in the kayaks!

BBQ fun with friends

We got together with our friends over Memorial Day weekend for a BBQ and to let the kids play! Love that the weather is finally getting a little warmer. Took long enough! Anyways, nothing too fancy-- just good food, nice weather, and a great time with some of our favorite people!
