Little miss Zara Marie was back for two weeks to visit her Grandma Rhonda and us. The time she is back always goes by much too quickly, and this visit was no exception. She flew back to Oregon yesterday, and we miss her already! While she was here, we got to spend time with her, as well as the Hansen and Tooley family. Zara and the Tooley kids don't miss a beat when they get together...it's as if she never left! We had a great time with her, and we can't wait until this summer when she comes back for another visit!
Last weekend we wrapped up another successful year for the annual Dale Lynch Memorial Tournament in Walnut. For the last 7 years, an alumni tournament has been held in Walnut to raise money for scholarships for graduating seniors and the school. The men play basketball, and the women play volleyball. Brent and his team have played every year (and have won the most titles!) and I have played since the 2nd year. Brent's team the Crushers were victorious again, winning the tourney for the 2nd straight year. Even though they are the oldest team in the competitive bracket, they are still the best! I play on a volleyball team with a bunch of Brent's former classmates; we were defending champs this year, but Team "Serves You Right" fell short of repeating. We won the Silver bracket, taking 4th place. We had a great time, as always!
This Easter weekend was all about family! Brent and I headed to Lawrence on Friday to stay at Lindsay and Roz's house. Mom, Dad, Zach, and Tyler were in town as well. We had a great time getting to spend lots of quality time with Livia, as well as the whole Putnam family! We even squeezed in a little time to see some friends while in town. Livie had a great first Easter, and looked absolutely adorable in her little Easter dress! She is growing up so fast! After church, we jumped in the car and made our way back to Walnut for our niece Kamryn's 4th birthday party and Easter with the Hansens. We had a great weekend, but are now exhausted!
With spring finally here and warmer weather on a daily basis, Piper has been able to spend more time outside playing! We are finally able to play fetch and go for runs on a regular basis. The weather does have a drawback though; we are both suffering from terrible allergies right now! I am training to run a 5K in Council Bluffs in May; I'm on Week 5 of an eight week training program. It looks easy on paper, but it's actually been difficult! I'm sticking to it, and I'm on schedule to be ready to run in May! Also on the horizon is our trip to Puerto Vallarta! We leave on the 15th and we are soooo ready! It'll be nice to have a relaxing week with sand, sea, drinks and food! Hope everyone had a great Easter! Adios for now!
