West Virginia

The weekend before Memorial Day, we took the fam in the mini-van and headed to West Virginia for my cousin Lauren's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and a beautiful location. We spent a couple nights at the Tygart Lake Lodge again, and it was an interesting time with three kids running around. We were thankful for the playset at the lodge and the grass maze at the wedding. It was a long trip home with my girls only sleeping one hour of the ten hour trip! But we made it. Congrats again Schlutermans!!

Field Day

A week before school got out, Grant had his second field day (the first was rained out). When I was a kid, I loved field day because I was very fast and got a lot of first place ribbons...well it turns out Grant is following in our footsteps and is quite speedy. In this field day Grant took first in the sack race, first in the 40m dash, and first in the softball throw...oh and last in the shoe kick. :) Here are some pics of the eventful day! Great job Grant, we're so proud of you!

Taking the lead early...

Mother's Day

We spent this Mother's Day at my parents house and enjoyed a lovely brunch and just hanging out. I have been blessed with an amazing mother whom I love dearly. I'm so thankful for our relationship and all that she is to our whole family. She holds us all together. Love ya ma!

25K

At the Finish Line!

No I did not run a 25k, but thanks for the laugh! Matt ran the Fifth Third Riverbank Run a few weeks back, and did an awesome job. Even though it was rainy and freezing cold, he ran like the wind...His personal best I believe at 1:47:53. He trains hard and runs fast, and every time he crosses the finish line, I honestly get a little teary eyed. I'm so proud of him for working so hard to achieve his goals. Way to go babe!
