Training

I ran a little over 4 miles yesterday. It wasn't too bad. The weather was cooler and cloudy. It is harder when it is so hot. My knees hurt today though. I think I might need better shoes. I feel good though because i am making progress. I can't imagine ever being able to go 13.1, but I have some more time.

Reid and Riley are so awesome. Reid is going to be crawling any day now. He army crawls all over the place and gets up on his hands and knees. I just bought him some new jammies yesterday. I got him 12 month sleepers thinking that would be fine. They fit him like a glove. He is getting so big. It makes my heart ache how much I love that baby. His little blue eyes and sweet gummy smile.

Riley just finished sports camp last week. He love sports and is so talented. He loves to dance and he sings like a angel. He loves to play video games with his dad (heaven help me!) and is excited about school in the fall. He still loves cars. The sportier the better. He is a joy. He can have a temper but is also so gentle and good. He loves Reid and Reid adores Riley. They are both amazing eaters and I love them both so much.

Chris is working and has taken to buying ipods on craigslist and reselling them on ebay. He enjoys it and it is nice to have extra money coming in.

6 Years and Counting!

Tomorrow is mine and Chris' 6th Anniversary. I love him more now than I thought possible. He is a great husband. He is so patient and loving to me. We have both changed a lot is the last 6 years and have grown closer together. I look forward to the next 6 years and beyond.


I loved our cake. It was delicious (what I got of it anyways.)

Training and Sickness

I have decided to train for a half marathon. UGH!!!! I need something to keep me motivated and I have always felt that if I could run for any distance I would truly be in shape. My friend Sarah asked me awhile ago if I wanted to do one with her and said no but thought it would be a good idea to try it once. Last week was my first week training and it was rough. My legs were really sore and then my third day running my knee started hurting so I had to walk most of the way. That was pretty frustrating. I took it easy on Saturday and was planning on going running again on Monday and of course got sick as a dog. I was weak and achy all day. Thankfully Chris was able to come home and help with the boys. My mom was over too because my friend went into labor and we watched their twin girls. It was a full house.

Back to training today. I am excited for losing weight and being able to run for longer times. I will keep you all posted.

My messy boys at breakfast.I love how Reid's eye's match the blanket!!

Riley got a T ball set for his birthday. He is a natural. Look at that form.

Love

Some times I wonder how I am going to teach Riley about certain things. I am sure you can imagine what is on the list. Girls and sex are the main things. UGH!! I am dreading it already. Anyways... something funny happened the other day. We were reading my sister's blog and she has a song on it called Marooned Without You from Joe Versus the Volcano. While we were listening to it this is what was said:

Riley: "Mama, this sounds sad."
Me: "It's a love song."
Riley : "Love sounds sad"
Me: "It can be."

It was so cute that he thought it was sad and that he put it all together. I love my boy.

Riley's Birthday Party Pictures

We did a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party for Riley's 4th birthday. We had the kids go on a Mickey Mouse adventure where they had to use things from the backpack to accomplish different tasks. Chris also drew pictures for a treasure hunt. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Here are all of the objects they had to choose from.
Riley and his Toodles cake.
We frosted the cake in about 10 minutes so it isn't our best work but it tasted good. :)

Back and Better Than Ever

WE ARE BACK!! I am so happy. I have missed the internet so much. Here is the whole story:

We bought our computer almost three years ago from Best Buy. We were offered the warranty and it took us a few days to decide to buck up and spend the 100+ dollars to get it. Boy, was it worth it! In the three years that we have owned the computer we have replaced 2 mother boards, the battery, and the power cord ( the power cord and battery alone were the cost of the warranty). Recently our computer has been on the fritz and we thought we would take it in for one last repair before the warranty expired. Well yesterday we got "The Call" from Best Buy telling us to come in for our "exchange". We were confused and excited at what that might mean. We raced over there and sure enough... they said that the cost of the repair was more than the computer was worth so they said they would give us a similar computer (which would basically be a net book or a really crappy computer). We were thinking we would just take what they would give us and maybe put in a little more and get a decent computer, but then the lady started showing us these awesome computers. She said that we just needed to pick one out. So, I asked how much we had to spend. Her answer stopped my heart... she said that we had 600 dollars ( the price of our original computer)!!!! Chris has not stopped smiling since we heard those beautiful words. So we picked out an awesome computer and paid 80 dollars extra for 4 times the computer and we also bought the warranty again. :) I LOVE BEST BUY!!! So, we are back. I will be posting a lot because I feel like I have so much to show everyone. So, check back often. It is good to be back!
