On Friday Addyson ran in the annual Tigerthon at her elementary school. Every year the students at the school run laps to raise money. Last year I didn't watch her run because I guess I didn't know that I could. This year Addyson asked me to come and watch her run so I was definitely there with Ethan and Paige in tow. As Ethan and I waited on the sides for her to make her 1st lap, I could tell that she was looking for us. When she saw us standing there, she was so happy and excited! I sadly had to leave after only 15 minutes of watching her because I had to go to a training in Dallas. I DID NOT want to go, I felt so terrible about leaving when I knew how happy she was to have us there supporting her. Although most of the work that I do does not interfere with my kids activities and time with them, this was one of those moments when I wish that I could just be strictly a stay at home mom. She did a great job and ran 8 laps! I am so proud of her, I think that is 2 miles? She was up really late the night before at a soccer party so when I got home later that night she was sooo tired!
These pictures were taken courtesy of my friend Holly, I forgot my camera in my car. Thanks Holly!!
Go Addyson!!!

Addyson is adorable, I can't believe how big our kids are getting, it's crazy isn't it??
I totally know what you mean about having to work, it sucks :P
You're welcome! I loved that first picture with her smiling-shes so cute! The kids all did a great job. Most of the girls got 8 laps I think. Coach Oliver said 5 laps was equal to one mile(as opposed to the normal 4 laps, these laps were shorter than a tracks laps, I guess), so that makes it almost 2 miles! Okay, so 1 and 3/5 miles:)
Sorry you had to leave early, but she knows you came and thats whats important! You are an awesome mama and you do whatcha gotta do, right?
way to go Addyson! that is awesome she ran 8 laps.
