Hume Lake Women's Retreat

I went to a Women's Retreat at Hume Lake 

I drove up with my friend Suanne, we had massages the first day, hot stone massages that were fabulous and relaxing! 
Both mornings I got up early and jogged/walked around the lake with my friend Julie 

One of the activities we did was shoot a 22 riffle...
Marcy, Suanne and I shooting!

We hung out and chatted by the lake
Three other girls from our small bible study went
(Heather, Beth, Meagan, me, Jenni and Daisha)
Beth, Meagan and Jenni are in my bible study group

I had a relaxing time!! Missed the family!  Caleb was at work, so the kids stayed at Pop and Nonie's house for the weekend.
They had a great time too!
They spent time with Great Grandpa John
He recently moved to Bakersfield, across the street from Pop and Nonie 
The kids love Pop's dog Angus 
They made birthday cards for Aunt Amy.


School Jog-a-thon

Kids ready for the jog-a-thon at Red Bank School 
Mason stretching before... 
Mason took off fast!!!!  She is a little runner! 


They had to get a stick with each lap so we knew how many laps she ran 
Mason ran 12 laps 

Then her class got to watch and cheer for Corben's class while they ran a larger lap 
Of course there was music....so there was dancing with her friend Alicia 


Then came Corben (black shirt, blue shorts) 
Go Corben Go! 
His friend Micah is ahead of him, he was funny and would walk whenever he was tired, but he would run to try to keep up with Micah.  He ran 9 laps (but they were much larger than Mason's laps) 
Mrs. Lyons is cheering him on, she is one of Corben's teachers 

I was helping in Mason's class that day, so next they took a class picture
Mason is bottom row, 2nd from the right 
...and a silly face photo

I love helping in their classrooms!

Mason's Tea Party

Mason invited her friend, Hailey Anne, over for a tea party. Her younger sister came along also.  The more the merrier.  They used the new "real" tea set Meme and Papa John gave to Mason and poured real water and ate finger foods.  This cute tea table and chairs was a gift for Mason for her new room from Meme and Papa, we brought it downstairs for the tea party, but it is usually in Mason's room!
