Happy Birthday Kennedy

Day one of birthday celebrating started Sunday! On Friday we are headed to see the mouse, or should I say princesses? Disney World here we come...all 6 of us. Leanna and Kennedy have appointments at the Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique where they will receive a full makeover including a crown! Next we will have lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table! We are staying for the weekend and hope to enjoy one other park as well, it is a toss up between Epcot and Hollywood Studios! Little Kade is covered in a rash from a reaction to MMR shot. He has been very irritable and itchy for the past few days! Rash should go away in the next few days so hopefully he will be all set for Mickey! Here are a few birthday shots to share!

Bad Blogger

I am a very bad blogger! Maybe in a few long years when I have a minute to think I may have time to catch up on all that is going on. For now, I am running crazy, and the kids are driving me there! We have had a very busy summer, Vero Beach, many weekend trips, and a triathlon in between! Here are some pictures! I would say I would post soon, but that would be a stretch!

My First Tri!

On April 10th I finished my first Triathlon! 1 hour 32min! It was a 1/2 mile swim,( in the ocean), a 10 mile bike, and a 4 mile run. It was GREAT! My sweet friend Trisha and I trained together for months and had a BLAST! I am so thankful for her. She is a blessing to my life. We still swim 2 mornings a week and giggle over coffee on our way there and back in the car. Sometimes that giggle is a venting session, but it's still fun! She is that friend that understands what it takes to be a mom and a wife, and sometimes, you just need a good friend to complain to and she is always there to listen and sympathize. She doesn't say its okay when its not, and she lets me be mad when I need to be without trying to fix things! She is my rock and I can't imagine a day without our silly texts back and forth! Enjoy the pictures! The next one is July 31st and Michael has signed up too!!! Uh-OH!!

That's Daddy's!!

When my husband is not home, my daughter so sweetly reminds me how much he helps me! I break out the vacuum cleaner tonight and the precious 2 year old says, "That's Daddy's!"

Just had to share! :)

Run Mommy Run!!!

Mommy's two day getaway included special time with one of my besties, 13.1 miles of running over 4 bridges and on 2 miles of sandy beach! I finished in 2:04 which I was really proud of considering the challenging course! My legs are MUCH more sore after this second 1/2 marathon! It had to be those steep bridges!!! Here is a pre race picture of Trisha and I...we are off to reward ourselves with sushi!!

New Addition to Our Technological Family

Meet Mac...my new MacBook Pro! Yes it is so fun! I am still trying to figure it out but having a working laptop ROCKS. No one is allowed to touch it but me :) (Kyle broke my Dell Laptop) Anyway I took this picture with the cool built in camera. Well that is all for now, short and sweet. Tonight is family game night..bring it ON!

Leanna and Marshmellow

We are so proud of Leanna and her rabbit Marshmellow! Marshmellow took home a first place ribbon in the Polk County Youth Fair! It was so much fun to go back to the youth fair for a trip down memory lane! I can remember the good old days at Oaks School when we would take a special field trip to see all of the animals and support our friends who where showing them! So meet Marshmellow...the BEST bunny EVER!
