OWAN

OWAN is finally here, and I am excited for it to be over.  The past couple months have been exhausting but so much fun!  This is the biggest fundraiser for the school, and I had the best committee.  

We had a fantastic turnout for the party, and everyone seemed to have a blast.  This is one of my favorite parts of this event - seeing everyone coming together.  

Kelsey, Vicki, & Abby were so much fun to work with on this event.  We all had our different challenges, but we all worked together to pull off a record breaking night.

And this is the end of the night when Jessica really cut loose.  Fireball!  

Jump Rope for Heart 2017

Old Union had another successful Jump Rope for Heart raising thousands of dollars for the cause.  The boys had fun getting better at jump roping and showed off some great skills.  Ryland was so much better at jumping this year.  He showed off with some glow in the dark jump roping.

Reed did awesome!  For his first year, I was blown away by his skills.  He is light years ahead of Ryland two years ago.  There are definitely advantages to being the second child.  

OWAN Decorating

Jessica and I had a great time decorating the ballroom for OWAN.  The Vegas glam theme came together perfectly, and the event was a huge success for Old Union.

Jump Rope for Heart

Ryland participated in Jump Rope for Heart again this year through his school.  Today was the jump roping presentation of skills.  He has gotten so much better in a year, and it is cool to see his coordination develop.  

Table Tops

The Table Tops Luncheon event was fabulous.  I enjoyed the amazing tablescapes while chatting with some absolutely adorable ladies.  The best thing is that it was a successful fundraiser for the Gatehouse in Grapevine. 

       

Dragon Dash

Old Union was finally able to hold their annual fundraiser, Dragon Dash.  It is typically held outside, but after a rain out, they weren't taking any chances.  Go Ms. Evans' class!

Ryland took on the obstacle course like a true athlete.

Jump Rope for Heart

Ryland's school had their annual fundraiser for the Heart Association.  The Jump Rope for Heart presentation took place in the gym, and parents were invited to see all the jump rope practice play out.  

I was nervous for Ryland, because I had seen him try to jump rope a few weeks ago.  He didn't quite have the timing, so he was pretty bummed.  After a few weeks of practice in PE class, and he was ready to show off.  

When the music started, he jumped right to it.  I noticed that he jumps rope backwards, but he was able to jump several successful times.  As I looked around the gym, I noticed that all the kids had been working on this skill.  Amazing!  Ryland did fantastic!

Dragon Dash

Old Union makes fitness fun!  The annual school fundraiser had an awesome obstacle course to bring the week to an end.  All the participants had bright colored matching shirts and worked together in teams.  Ryland was so pumped!

Brown Bear came along for the fun, too.

The biggest shock to me was the hula hooping station.  I just knew this was going to be an epic fail.  Ryland was ridiculously good.  I have no idea where he picked up this skill, but he was the best hula hooper.
