Hello and happy Friday!
This week, I feel like we’ve gotten into more of a routine which has been nice, but we all definitely have school-itis…and are ready for the weekend.
As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.
Here are some favorites from the week:
The kids’ track season is finally in full swing.
Last Friday night, the kids had their first meet (after the first two modified meets were cancelled) in the cold temps! I had to wear my heaviest winter coat and gloves most of the time!
Per tradition, I got a quick pic before we headed to the meet.
What a night. They ran four races. Hayden had two PR’s and state qualifying times in the 1600 and 800. Hadley ran the 200 and 400 and had a PR and state qualifying time in the 400.
Hadley and I left before Hayden’s last race because it was getting late and she had a volleyball tournament the next morning.
At an invitational meet, the top three athletes in each event get medals. The kids got them earlier this week. Hadley was 3rd in both of her events, and was excited to show me her medals. Hayden’s medals are in the bottom of his backpack, I’m sure.
Hadley’s volleyball team played well this past weekend.
They played on Saturday and Sunday and ended up the runners up in the gold bracket. We still have a few tournaments left, but this club season is close to wrapping up.
The highlight of my weekend was going to my friend Sarah’s wedding. It was so nice to be reunited with friends and celebrate Sarah and her new husband on their big day.
The difference in weather in less than 24 hours was incredible. It was a beautiful day filled with sunshine.
Hadley and Sarah’s daughter have been friends since birth. Their birthdays are five days apart, and they grew up going to the same sitter until they started school.
The boys were busy, so we had a girls’ day at the wedding.
After Hadley’s volleyball games on Sunday, she went to Rupp Arena with friends for the press conference for the new UK basketball coach, Mark Pope. She had a good time.
We had more track this week with beautiful weather on Monday and Wednesday for their meets.
Hadley ran the anchor leg of the 4×100, and they ran a qualifying time for state and were close to breaking the school record.
Needless to say, we’ve had fun watching them run, and the season has just started.
On Wednesday, the kids had their annual checkups. Since they were little, we’ve always gone for ice cream afterwards. They didn’t let me forget this treat.
Last night, Hayden’s coach had the basketball banquet to wrap up the season. While the season has been over for a bit and a few couldn’t make it, it was nice to celebrate the boys one more time.
They ended up in the gym hooping it up at the end, but did let us get one more pic. These boys are a special group for the coach because his first year was as their 6th grade coach, and now he’s the head coach.
Favorite Mom Meme:
Y’all, this week has been hard. While we are in a good routine, we are tired in the morning.
Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:
On the left, was the first track meet of the kids’ 6th grade season. Of course they are older and look different, but obviously Hayden has changed quite a bit! They’ve grown into those jackets.
Weekly Recap:
After a slow start to the week, I had a couple of posts towards the end:
What are your weekend plans? We have more track and volleyball on the schedule, but I am thankful that we don’t have to wake up super early tomorrow.
Thanks for reading,
That meme is everything- HA! I know it’s tiring but it looks so productive and fun- enjoy your weekend of activities!

I love a good comparison picture. What a difference the junior high years make in our kids! Hope you have a great weekend. I love your dress at the wedding.

I guess they are supposed to grow up and change, but the side by side pics really show it

I can definitely see the senior-itis hitting Alec! Two Fridays in row he’s tried to convince me it’s not worth him driving to school. LOL Luckily we have had a nice week off to rest and recharge. That wedding looks lovely and they really lucked out with some beautiful weather.

Senior-itis is real, I’m sure. We’re all ready for summer.

He’s officially taller than me now. I know you know what it’s like to see the boys growing taller.
