The sun came out!

We were all so happy to see the sun this afternoon!

He could have spent all day playing in this little sand pile!

My two girls, enjoying the sun and each other’s company! That doesn’t happen everyday!

Becca doing her back handspring on the trampoline.

My little LuLu.

I am so very lucky – I get to look out my backdoor and enjoy this…I think it’s beautiful.

New Year’s Resolution

Well, maybe a St. Patrick’s Day Resolution…I am going to take more pictures! The last time I took a picture with something other than my cell was New Year’s Eve! My kids are way too cute to not take their picture for 3 months!! I am buying a new camera for my purse this weekend.

I’m baaack!

well…maybe…I’m going to try! I’m not sure if anyone checks this anymore, but I’m going to try to keep up with my blogging. Days are turning into weeks, weeks into months…and you get the drift. If I don’t start writing things down, I will forget, and that scares me!

A picture is worth a thousand words!

I have yet to capture his new smile on film yet, but it is the best smile ever. He wrinkles up his nose, sticks out his lone bottom tooth, and his entire face just lights up. It is seriously the most contagious smile. I’m sure there is not one person on the planet that could see it and not smile back!

Here are some pictures from Emma’s fieldtrip to the pumpkin patch and some from our pumpkin carving with Melissa, Isabel & Ady. (Sorry about the little pictures – it’s just much quicker to post this way!)

Here it goes…

I’m not even going to attempt to catch up from the last time I posted. I’ll just post some pictures and hopefully I’ll start keeping up with my blog – I’m thinking my grandma may disown me if I don’t get some more pictures on here soon!

Daddy is so proud

Scott got him dressed yesterday morning and was very proud of his wardrobe choice. You can’t see the matching Bears socks in the picture, but they are really cute!

I think this is his mean, football player face! Doesn’t he look like he’s ready to tackle somebody? This could be one of my all time favorite pictures – the kind that make you smile every time you see it!

I know I’ve said it before, but he is so cute!!!

Healthy me!

Last Sunday was the QC Marathon. A group of 5 of us did the relay event. I ran the last leg – not because I would be a strong finisher, but because I didn’t want to run any of the 6 1/2 mile legs and Jennifer put dibs on the 3.2 mile leg right away. What I ran was 4.63 miles and it took me 43:32. If my math skills are correct, I think that averages out to a little less than 9:30/mile. That may be a slow jog to many, but to me that is hauling a**! And I actually thought I was going to puke when I was done – I didn’t, but I really thought I was going to!! Three of the other people in the relay are very fit and good runners – Jennifer & I were really out of our league, but it was fun! I looked at the marathon website and we got 5th place in the women’s division. There were only 12 entries, but at least we were still in the top half!

Continuing my week of health/fitness, I met with Danelle for my first personal training session. I really liked it. After Becca was born, Candy & I did some personal training sessions and regularing did strength training. I always enjoyed it, so I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things. I didn’t make it back to the Y today to do my workout again like I was supposed to, but my schedule is crazy for the next week so I’m doing what I can.

Wish me luck!!!

As promised…Milwaukee pics
