Abby is 19 Months Old Today!

Where has all the time gone?

Run to Joe's

I ran my second 5k race this past Saturday with my good friend Trinette. This was our first race to run together. This was the Run to Joe's in the Fort Worth Stockyards. It was so fun! It was fun to just watch all ther other runners during the race. There are some interesting folks out there. I ran the race in 29 min 26 seconds. This was about 4 minutes off my first 5k race. So I was really happy. It's amazing what some good songs on your iPod can do for you. Next up we are going to run a 10k at the Fort Worth Zoo Run Run. I ran a 10k last year at the Fort Worth Turkey Trot, but I haven't gone that far since then. I'm gonna have to hit the pavement over the next few weeks and get some longer runs in. It will be a great run and I'm looking forward to it.

Last one from Spring Break

We also went to the pig races at the livestock show. Nathan had to have the pooping pig keychain. Every little boys needs a pig that poops, right!?!

More Spring Break

I'm having trouble with all this blogging business. So here's more pictures from our trip.

Our good friend Monica Erwin went with us. So did Parsh, but she was the photographer for all of these pictures.

Abby went into the petting zoo, but she would not touch any of the animals. Nathan wouldn't even go in the petting zoo. I think he was hungry by this point and only had food on the brain.

No pony rides, PLEASE!

Spring Break in Houston

Nathan, Abby, & I went to Houston for Nathan's Spring Break last week. We did our ususal shopping and eating, but we also went to the Houston Livestock Show.

Nathan loved the big boots outside. This one is "The Boots
of Hazard."

Here we are coloring and learning about good food choices.

Abby wasn't too sure what to think about Elsie the Cow.

Nathan is watching chicks that have just hatched out of their shells.

I Have a 5 Year Old!!!

We celebrated Nathan's 5th birthday on March 4th. He chose to have a army-themed party at Let's Jump.
He figured all of these out himself down to having the army guys on his camo cake. The kids all had a blast on the inflatable toys and so did several of the adults. It was a great party! We also celebrated on the morning of his birthday with decorated pancakes. This is a tradition that happens at our house only on your birthday. You get to decorate your pancakes with icing and sprinkles and whatever else you like. He LOVES it!

5 has been a big birthday. It's hard to believe our baby who we called "Little Bit" when he was born is 5 and is not so little anymore. He has grown in to a precious boy who keeps us laughing all the time. I am sad that the first 5 years have gone so fast, but I am sure the next 5 are going to be so interesting and full of many surprises.

Happy Birthday Little Bit!

I'm not a lurker anymore.

I've been lurking on other people's blogs for several months now and finally decided I better get my own going. I hope I don't run out of things to put on here or better yet, I just hope I keep up with it. I think it's going to be alot of fun. Here's to not lurking anymore!
