Blakely took Ballet, Tap and Jazz this year.  We were so proud of her. She did such a wonderful job.  She does love dance and will take again next year.

Silver Dollar City and Shower

We went to Silver Dollar city on Saturday and went to Sam(Daniel's brother) and Brittney’s shower.  It was a quick trip to SDC, but nevertheless the girls had a great time.  Then we headed to the shower in the park.  The girls had fun seeing everyone and then playing at the park.  We are excited to have another Aunt in the family.

5K

Since January I have been training to run a 5k.  I really wanted to just say that I did it.  It was hard, but a very rewarding experience.  The pictures below are from my 2nd 5k.   I ran on on the 16th of April-and man it was hard!  I have to admit I had tears crossing the finish line.  I ran the entire way-except for a little hill-about 30 seconds.  I ran my second one on April 30th.  I knew what to expect from the first one, but man there were a lot of serious runners in the group-very intimidating.  I think there were over a 1000 people. It was a fun race, but I pulled my hamstring and was in a lot of pain for about a week.  I’ve learned that running is a mind over body experience.  There were lots of praying and praising during this whole experience.  I plan on doing another 5k in the fall.

My wonderful friend Tiffany and I.  She really motivated me to keep going.My two great friends from college-they cheered me on at the end!
