THE COLOR RUN

If you have been thinking about running a 5K - the Color Run is the race for you. SO much fun.

Last year Jeff and I along with the boys ran the race. As soon as the registration open back in April, we all signed up. Ella wanted to run in the race as well. Joseph decided to join us after we talked about the run we had.

BEFORE - all white

The boys and Jeff were gone for hockey so Mrs. Ruby and her family joined us

We were close to the start line. All the other runners behind us

Here comes the first color zone - PINK

Ella is in front of me in this picture - goggles on and ready

I loved this sign

Running backwards - too fun

We had actually stopped for her to spit the color out of her mouth.

HEADING TO THE FINISH LINE - ELLA IS ON THE RIGHT WITH JOSPEH RIGHT BEHIND HER

SHE DID IT 3.1 MILES OF COLOR

Ella's teacher and some friends were running in the race as well. We found them at the finish line. Another girl from my Girls on the Run group was in the group as well. So this was the Poplin crew.

Hockey for Seth

So we left the wedding to travel for early morning hockey games the next day. We travels for Seth. Yes, we have 2 hockey players. Jeff was out of town with Garrett playing hockey.

#8 is our player

The pictures below are not from the same weekend but I thought I would tag them with hockey.

My hockey boys - Let's Go Checkers

we even have a hard time knowing who's warm up suit is who's and who's bag and equipment is who's. It is all about hockey.

Regina and Andy's Wedding

We were able to be at Regina and Andy's wedding. The colors were orange and purple or plum. My kind of wedding.

Regina had asked Ella and 2 other girls to help carry her dress over the grass to get to the pier. These are just several shots from the wedding.

Ella hung out with meme and papa while we left for a hockey game. Ella enjoyed helping Erica, Peggy and Meme clean up from the wedding and enjoying a boat ride.

We have a Star Student

Ella was selected to be the Star Student for her class. She had to complete an All About Me poster. We also had to collect 4 to 5 goodies of things about her.

We took chocolate chips cookies for her class

Another day at church, we had to wear our favorite team jersey. Of course, we had to wear hockey. Mrs. Mo from the rink gave Ella, her very own pink hockey jersey.
