Almost Summer!

I've been slacking , I apologize and now that your reading this...well it's already summer !  Time just keeps getting away from me.  Well here it is hopefully short and sweet what Team Whitehead has been up to.
There were of course showers, weddings and birthdays in May, but then again I'm not sure what month doesn't involve these for us ;) 
My friend Alina's shower with us having some photo booth fun !  I sure do miss getting to see these pretty ladies everyday.
We had some Max time in May and boy was he excited! 
We celebrated our awesome Mom's on Mother's day!  We are truly blessed to have the best Mom's who are always there supporting us (Patty got in trouble yesterday though , and David says she grounded.  Let's just say now David understands a little more what he put his mom through as a kid). 
David is still working lots of hours with plenty of claims to handle from those Denton storms so one night I got the chance to hang out with our Advocare team at our dream board night.  So blessed to be a part of this team with some amazing people who truly bring out the best in each other and support one another on this journey of helping others.
Well David started getting antsy as well as myself...so we decided it was time for Team Whitehead to make a trip out to Mildred and get away from the rush rush of the city for the weekend. We were so excited to hang out with friends, grill out (well sort of , right Stuart), fish, feed babies, ride 4wheelers and just enjoy the quiet of the country while hanging with close friends.  Neither one of us wanted to come home that's for sure!  Laura and Stu...we are moving in!!!!
We had another ride in April we did called The Honey Tour. It was a beautiful day for a ride and we even got Ty to come along ;)  He could have blown our doors, but he was nice and stayed with us slow people.  My dad was out helping on the course so he had to sit this ride out, but he managed to have some fun himself...everytime he would see us coming he would blow a loud air horn, we love our crazy Pops!
 
Miss Raeley's 1st birthday! She loved that cake!!
We didn't really do much for Memorial Day, but oh wait we did end up having a little fun after dinner in the Stockyards!  (Cole you missed out, although we know you would have been embarrassed to be with us).  Why be normal right !? ;)  I know my mom and dad probably won't like me for putting this picture in here , just keeping them young ;)
The last thing we did in May was attend an FC Dallas Soccer game with our Advocare Team.  We had a great time and were even recognized on the big screen ! 
See you all in a month!  Safe travels for everyone on summer vacations!!

April

Sorry April is coming to you a little late seeing that we are almost in June...whoops ;) 
We started April out by getting a call to help our good friends the Benolkens out with their twins.  Of course we said yes, how can you not want to help with those precious babies.  We brought dinner over to the house and as soon as we walked in and could barely say hi, Aaron started handing David and I babies and said here is a bottle :)  We loved every minute of it.  Especially getting to watch their big brother Wyatt run around and love on them. 
Then, came the BIG STORM!  In April Denton was hit with a big storm that had high winds, and hail damage.  This put David to work double time!  Since then David has been working long hours including weekends and working so hard everyday....I'm so proud of him for how hard he works for us! He was rewarded in May actually and named Employee of the Month for his hard work and dedication, I'm a proud wife!! 
Now when a storm comes heading our way , David and I are both watching the news making sure it's not going to hit Denton ;)  we don't even watch for Fort Worth ha ha just Denton.

At the beginning of April my Mom , my amazing friend Rachel and me headed to Canton to do some shopping for baby Elsie who is due in August.  This was Rachel's first time to Canton , so my Mom and I had a blast getting to show her around and pick things out for the baby and nursery including baby Elsie's first monogrammed onesie!  We might look a little rugged and wet in the pictures, but the rain didn't stop us :)

My friend Jessica is getting married this summer so it was time for us to shower her with love for her bridal shower near Austin.  My mom and I took a road trip down a day early so we could hit up our favorite place Gruene, eat at The Gristmill, shop at The Outlet Mall and also to see our birthday girl Heather.  It was a great weekend getting away to the Hill Country (my home away from home) with some of my favorite people!  Can't wait to be a part of Jessica and Charlie's wedding in July and see her in her marrying her best friend!

Since riding season started we completed another ride called Ride for the Heroes which was in Aledo. This was a great ride, with some rolling hills that we weren't a fan of , but overall the weather was great and we couldn't have asked for a better day.  Team Advocare is getting stronger on the bike and continuing to prepare for Hotter'n Hell 100 in a few months! 

Easter came quick this year!  We had a great time with family enjoying the day, hunting eggs, eating, and hanging out. 

At the end of April we attended Champions Day which was an event that was being held all over the country by different Advocare leaders.  This was a great time getting to hear amazing leaders of this great company share their stories, training tips, and motivate others to live positive lives that help others WIN AT LIFE !

Hope everyone's summer is starting out with a bang!  Keep cool !!
