March Fun...

The girls are pretty much the life of the party wherever we go.  The saying "Children should be seen and not heard" obviously doesn't apply to them!  ;)

 Reese and I joined a Moms club with a friend.  We have been having the best time getting to know some other moms and kiddos.  We have been doing some pretty fun playdates!

tired girl after all the climbing, jumping, and sliding!

  Spring Break happened in March! We had a fun mini vacation to San Antonio…but that requires its own post(s). But we did take Mrs. McCrary her favorite Sonic drink and a gift card.  :)

 The annual CCA Alumni game was super fun…and we won again!  what what!

 We got to see sweet Halli while we were there and Jeremy may have corrupted her!

these 3 had a blast!

Reese and her bff hanging out at church!

look at all those girls! 

just precious!

we were shopping and she wanted her picture made by the kangaroo!  lol!

 Ok, so Ryne and Reese have been going to sleep together in Ryne's room.  We move Reese over once she falls asleep.  On this night Ryne was sound asleep but Reese was having some problems.  This was the 3rd time she walked out of her room!  I guess she was sneaking!  lol!

LOVE her!

 Reese and I were on our way back from Camden when she stuck a craisin up her nose!  Thankfully she was able to blow it out without a trip to the ER!

love park days with these two!

 Reese decided that her Minnie Mouse shoes should go on her Toms shelf!  Girl loves her Toms so she has a whole shelf devoted just to them!

mmmm…rehydrate pops!  They love them and I love that they are good for them!  Win Win!

Cowboy day at school!  I love this little cowgirl!

 Goodies that we dropped off to our local Child Advocacy center.  I can only imagine how a child feels when they are first taken from their home.  :(

my little partner in crime.

 I finally got to meet the newest Hayes baby!  Little Champ is precious!

That about sums up March, except for lots of soccer.  Oh, and Spring Break…that's coming next!

Super busy weekend!

It's crazy how you won't have anything going on for a couple of weekends and then BAM!  This weekend in particular was a hodge podge of stuff…but we made it work!  First up on Friday was the Dallas Rock n Roll 1/2 Marathon Expo.  The girls got to go with us and they LOVED it!  

 Then we had to divide and conquer.  Reese and I headed to Camden and Jeremy and Ryne headed to two birthday parties.  First up for them was Brooke's spectacular 6 year old rock-n-roll/princess/fashion show party!  After that they went to Nanny's birthday dinner.  Reese and I sat in traffic for awhile, then it finally opened up and a few hours later we were in Camden.  :)

Saturday for Jeremy and Ryne started with a soccer game and then errand running/shopping.  Reese and I spent Saturday playing and then going to a wedding shower for Uncle Jonathan and Rebecca!

 After the shower we started our trip back to get ready for our little run the next day!

Jan and Ken came over Sunday morning and Jeremy and I headed into Dallas.  The weather was a little chilly, but not too bad.  Overall it was a really fun run!

The whole run I was seriously just thinking about carbs.  Pancakes, Waffles, Bagels…yum!

First thing after a shower was some yummy homemade waffles.  Then I headed out to help canvas a neighborhood with our church group while Jeremy waited for his mom and Ken to get back from church with the girls.  He may have snuck a nap in!  ;)

The rest of the day was spent snuggling my girls and being lazy.  It was pretty prefect!

Epic 1/2 Marathon...

So, we signed up to run the LR 1/2 Marathon…but before we left for Little Rock, we had a little soccer star to cheer on!

 After that we were on way!  We barley made it in time to pick up our packets, then we met the McNabs for a little carb loading dinner!  :)  Dakota and Presley wanted to sit by me…Ryne would have been so jealous to miss, so I didn't tell her!  ;)  They loved looking at all my pics on my phone, and then wanted pics of themselves.  Then they wanted selfie of all 3 of us!  :)

 After dinner it was time to check in to our hotel and crash!  The next morning came super early…but we were ready to do it!  It was COLD!  But we were prepared…or so we thought!  ha!

 Before long we were filing to the starting line and off!  It was cold, wet, slick, and just gross.  But the people were awesome!  Other runners were so nice and the spectators were fantastic.  That helped give you a boost for sure!

 Jeremy, Jaime, and I started out together but it was hard to stay together.  There were so many people and it stayed congested for the first several miles.  I'm not sure when we got separated, but their were plenty of other people to "run" with!  I did find out that I am probably the clumsiest runner ever!  I dropped my gloves (which I wanted to keep because I LOVED them).  It was in a really congested place so I just had to let them go.  :(  Then I dropped my energy chews about 1/2 a mile before I was going to eat them.  I did actually manage to take off my jacket and toss it to Brandon around mile 5.  But then mile 11 I was wishing I would have kept it!  The temps started dropping pretty quickly and I was basically numb when I finished!

I was so so so happy to see that finish line!!

 I had to wait for a little while for my running buddies and that was brutal!  I was soaked and freezing.  I don't think I have ever been so cold!  I was so happy to see Jeremy and start trying to make our way to warmth!

My sweet parents had came up to watch me cross the finish line!  Love those two!

 After visiting with them for a few minutes, we headed back to the hotel to shower before meeting up with them again for lunch.

he was not a happy camper at this point!  :)

 After taking a warm shower we finally could feel our legs and feet again, so we headed for IHOP.  Brad, Beth, and their kiddos met us for lunch.  It was good to see them…and the pancakes.  I killed the pancakes!

 Jayce was cracking us up because he went from lap to lap eating all the food!  Once one plate was empty he would move on…so funny!

After lunch we went back to the hotel to chill for a little bit before meeting up with friends for dinner.  Well, that was the plan.  In reality the rain turned to sleet and hail so those plans were cancelled.  We ended up watching a movie and grabbing take out.  We hated to miss everyone but were glad that everyone was home safe and sound.

The next morning was Jeremy's birthday!  We were stuck until things started melting, so we tried to walk to get donuts…but they were all closed!  So, we settled for continental breakfast and some daytime tv!  We were able to start home around 12.

 It was a LONG trip home...

 We were so happy to see our girls!  They were so happy to give Daddy his presents!  :)

Despite the crazy cold/yucky weather, it was a fantastic weekend!  Plus, we make both be hooked on 1/2 marathons!  :)
