What a Weekend...Derby Days Never Disappoints!

 

WHAT A WEEKEND!

I look forward to going home for Catfish Derby Days every year - and now it's twice the fun celebrating it with Jake and the kids.

 

 So thankful we were able to spend Dad's birthday with him on Friday!

 

 

Carrine got a lot of "tummy time" with Papa Larry this weekend taking naps in the chair!

 

 

 I truly LOVE playing volleyball with this crew!

 

Look forward to this weekend all year!

 

Not sure if it gets any better than playing volleyball with this crew...THANK YOU for yet another awesome Catfish Derby Days! 2nd place isn't too shabby for a bunch of 30-year-olds :)  

 

 

On Sunday Jolene and I entered our kids in the Franklin Kiddie Parade...what a blast!

GO VIKES!

 

 Our first year in the Kiddie Parade.

And here the crew comes...

 

We threw out all our candy in the first 2 blocks - now Jolene and I know to bring about 4 times as much candy next year so the people at the end of the parade have something to eat!

 

Our beautiful kids in Purple and Gold!

 

 

Carrine was a champ at her first Derby Days - not a cry out of her.

She got passed around like a football on Sunday.

 After the big parade it was on to the Tractor Pull!

 

 

 Once Roz found out that she got a can of Dr. Pepper after the tractor pull - she only went about 2 feet and jumped off toward the pop - can't make it up!

 

Best part of getting the pop - she got to meet Miss Franklin Princess!

 

Andray was jacked when he saw the 5-year-olds got to ride the red tractor!

 

Talk about PURE DETERMINATION!

 

 Andray's not much of a pop drinker so he shared with the rest of us...

can't wait for next year's tractor pull!

 

And before we left we both kids just had to have a blue snow cone!

 

What a weekend!

 

 

 

What an incredible weekend with good friends and family...very thankful!
