Harper's Track Meets

Harper participated on the Sunnyslope's Track Team. 

She had her school meet on Wednesday, May 8th.
She competed in the 200 meter run, 4 x 100 relay, triple jump, and running long jump. 

She qualified for the school-wide district meeting in the relay only. 

That was the following week up at the high school. 

Lining up for the participants parade. 

Harper ran the last leg of the relay. 
They had worked on their hand-off during recess. 
Her team placed 2nd in their heat. 

Her relay was one of the first events, but she hung around with her friends near the track to cheer on everyone as they ran their dashes.

Whew! What a Week-End!

Presley had a birthday sleepover with a few of her close friends. 
I think she loved the tree house set up. 

On Saturday, Ry and I headed to Yakima for the Yak-Attack soccer tournament. 
And Harper and Dave woke up and ran her Girls on the Run 5K. 


The theme was superheroes and she had her hair spray painted before the race.
 After the race with her medal. 
They ran and walked it, but they did place first. 
Her sweet friends that finished the race with her. 
Harper really went all in with her disguise :)

Meanwhile in Yakima,  his friend's sister had broke her arm the night before and Ry played Disney princesses with her.  We played 3 games (they were all timed and very short...only 12 minute halves).  Ry's team won 2 and lost 1 on Saturday. 

Ry and I stayed the night and were up early for Sunday's game. 
They had to keep winning to keep playing. 
Our first game was tied at the end of the 24 minutes. 
The tie breaker was the team that scored the most points in soccer darts. 
We got the win when Ry shot at the 17, but his velcro ball landed on one of the red lines and that's triple the points.  

Natalie was playing there too. 
Cristy and Lanae brought her on Sunday and we were able to watch one of her games. 
They ended in a tie too, but lost at the big soccer dart tie-breaker. 
Ry's team won their 2nd game to place them in the championship game. 

They ended up taking 2nd place!
It was a fun tourney!

And we found a few other Wenatchee girls that Ry knew. 

Meanwhile in the Tri-Cities...

Grandma was able to pick up their new puppy, Archie!
Oh my gosh, he's so cute!
Miryn must have been so excited to hold Archie!

And speaking of cuties....
Tricia and Dan Sorensen's new baby boy Arthur Daniel James was born on Sunday, May 19th at 8:12 AM, weighing 9 lbs, 4 oz and 21 1/2 inches long, and 13 days late!

Tricia had texted me their last 3D ultrasound pic...pretty amazing!

And just like that, 3 precious boys!

What a Week-End!

Mother's Day 2019

Grandma, Amy, and Samee came up for a visit on Saturday. 
We went to lunch at South in Pybus and to get our toes done. 


We had a nice time. 
Harper was sad that Miryn didn't make the trip and Presley would have liked to see Alyson and Mylee.
But Mylee stayed home because she had her wisdom teeth removed on Friday. 

Sunday was so beautiful outside. 
I woke up and sat down by the pool on one of the lounge chairs. 
Pretty soon, I was treated to breakfast. 


The kids took a morning swim. 
These two played Dragonballz in the pool. 

Dave had asked his parents to lunch up at Desert Canyon so we got ready for that and met them at 1:00. 



After Grandma and Papa Nelson left, we stayed and played the putt putt golf course. 
And things started out fine, but by the end of all 18 holes, Harper was melting down (it literally took her 36 strokes on hole 17), Logan and Presley were fighting about how many strokes each of them took at each hole, Rylan was swinging his club like a baseball bat and I was left wondering if we'd ever have a full day when we could all just get along. 
We should have stopped at hole 9. 

Hole #4, before things went downhill!
