Completed a triatholon relay, that is!
On Saturday, Matt, the kids and I hit the road for west Tennessee. This was our first trip there since we moved last summer, and actually we passed right by Memphis on our way north of town where the race actually took place. We didn't get to do any of the things we would have liked to do--visit/play with friends, go to our old church, or even eat BBQ! But we did enjoy a nice lunch at the park Saturday afternoon while Matt checked in and swam a practice lap of the swim course.
Can you tell it was hot? And can you tell someone was tired? Or at least tired of Mommy taking pictures:)
Bright and early Sunday morning, we headed back to the park for Daddy's big race. This was the best picture I could get of him before the race (he's the tall one:).
And here's what the kiddos and I did while Daddy swam and while we waited for his teammates to finish up...
Walker playing on my iphone...
Kathryn camped out on some other little boy's blanket watching a movie. This mom was so sweet to let me two watch a movie with her little boy. Unfortunately, her little boy was on the move as much as mine which left Kathryn watching the movie all by herself!
And here's the team (well, minus Walker)...
There's no way, Walker could have participated in the race. He was too busy taking pictures with my camera. Note to self, don't let a 3 year old play with your camera unless you want random pictures like this one to show up! I couldn't resist sharing the bulging belly;)
And less than 24 hours later, we were back on the road to the 'Ham. Next year's race is in Tunica. I've already told Matt we are traveling sans the kiddos. And we'll be hitting the spa after the race! This weekend wore us out. But we were so proud of Matt and all of his hard work, it was worth every minute of it!
By the way, the guys came in fourth in the men's relay division. Matt was second in his race. He came in behind a 24 year old former US Olympian, so we think he did pretty well!!
And of course, the local pool is being well used, but quite honestly, that means this large momma has to get into a swimsuit which doesn't put swimming at the top of my list!
Thanks to Nana and Papa's neighbors, the kiddos were able to get a lot of swim practice in this Memorial Day weekend. They enjoyed every minute of it! And we did too 'cause swimmin' sure wears some kids out!

Are we not a sight? We were even dressed alike;) 
We even managed to squeeze in the kiddos last day of school! We thought these Dollar Tree finds would make a fun summer gift for their friends. And I wish I had taken a picture of the beautiful pot of zinnias they gave their teacher, Ms. Nancy. She's a gardener and flower lover like Kathryn, so I couldn't resist sending her some blooms as a thank you for such a wonderful year!
Did I mention that Tula also came to visit! Like I said, we had a house full and enjoyed every minute of it! Pops made it into town on Friday afternoon, which added to the fun of having everyone together. The guys even managed to score a night out to see Robin Hood. Not quite sure how that happened... mommies staying home to watch the kiddos while the men went to the movies, but I think they enjoyed their "man" time nonetheless! 
Saturday evening the family fun continued when we made our way over to the Dillons for playtime and dinner. Nana and Papa were in town babysitting, so we were thrilled to hand out with them and this happy little guy!
If we had only had the Smith's here, we would have seen the entire family in one weekend! Thankfully, they are headed south for the summer soon, and we can't wait!
