Keeping me Accountable!

I am doing something that feels humongus!


I am preparing to TRAIN for a 1/2 marathon!!!


The excitement I feel is real. However, I find that I keep trying to talk myself out of it...so I am going to blog about it to keep me accountable!

This is the CLC running group!
And, seriously, I am still on the fence about it...ugh!

I decided that I LIKE to run!


Not love...yet!


I think that as I keep setting up running goals I will develop a LOVE for it!


I am going to be turning 30 this September and I want to enter my 30's with a *BAM*. What better way to do that but with a half marathon ushering me in!

It is suppose to read 32...oops! (for my 5k PR)

So.

There it is.

Training begins July 9th! YIKES!!!!


Anyone else wanna run a half in September?

The pet who isn't a PET!

We love love love the fall in this house. Well, I love love love the fall and I just make it seem that it is everyone in this place.
The girls painted while wearing their chef hat and apron!!
 Thinking about the next color to add to her master piece!
 Just a little side story while we are going through these pictures: Today while I am cleaning up in the kitchen I notice...SILENCE. And you know that as welcomed as that may be in a home of kids you also know it usually means:TROUBLE. So I call out and Tici responds, "Don't worry mom I'm just petting Amma."
 The littlest sister peeking out the window watching her bigger sisters!
She is on her tip toes...so so so adorable!
 Having a serious conversation with Charlie.
 So, I decided to get baby dressed to join in on the outdoor, horse watching fun!
 Another side note: Daivia is fully potty trained! Praise the Lord!!!
 "Really...mom. They are not that interesting."
 Let's call this picture "Outrageously priced experienced at Pumpkin Patch with animals we weren't even allowed to approach."
 My FAVORITE picture of the day!!! I just want to call her "Squishers" and I sometimes do...
I am sad to say there was a temporary meltdown when they had trouble finding their way out and I was slightly entertained. Only because I could clearly see the way out.
 Let's call this picture what it is: A beautiful moment captured on digital film with my littlest baby joy!
 So in spite of the meltdown at the hay maze we decided to do the corn maze.
 Amma, had the best view!
 Took lots of pictures of the three little towells and this was the best picture! Two slightly grumpy faces and a super cute "CHEESY"; I mean sweet face!
 We are on our way!!!! HAY RIDE!!!! woohoo!!!
 The happy family! (at least in this picture!)
 Group HUG!
 Later that night we headed to the Waddington's house for a real Hay RIDE!
 Ticiana is beaming with excitement!!!
 Bugaboo sharing chili and cornbread with me!
 Here they are making really really real apple juice!
Catching all the chunks before pouring it into the jugs!
 
 Leah squeezing out the remaining juice.
 Just juice down there! And that isn't even all of it!
 Amber sampling the fresh juice! (by the way I love you  for letting me post this!!)
 Dai Dai and I are trying to stay warm!
 We had so much fun! Thanks to the Waddington's for having us out to participate in the fun!

Just think this is only the end of October so much more fun to be had!!!! Stay Tuned...

Life in the FAST lane!

I am often asked, "How is it going with 3 kids under 3 years of age?" (ok so I abreviated the question but still this about sums it up...)
And I want to say, "I'm glad I like to drive fast because I am living in the fast lane."

So for a few short moments live with me!

This picture is to get us started on this wild ride! Thanks Dai!

 Spotted: Bugaboo is tearing into the toddlers must read of the month. She is also using a toddler puzzle piece as a pacifier. (and I thought I had done an excellent job weaning her off of her pacifier...)

 The garden spit out the end of the summer treats...until next year sweet garden...
 My worker bee. Hauling veggies!
 Tici pie is showing Amma how to crawl.

Side Note: We decided to call Joella by her middle name so in case you are confused...well, don't be.
 Using the boxes from Costco as mini beds!
 She is like a mama animal hauling things in her mouth. (yes I approved this item to be hauled around in her mouth.)
 The first apple pie of the year!

 The glare on this picture is terrible but it actually looked devine!
 She put herself in this jail. I had nothing to do with it.
 In our devotions today: "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the LORD!" Psalm 150:6
And this is how we applied it to our life, by making instruments and Praising the LORD!!!!!
WARNING: LOUD!!!!!
 Everyone joined in!

 Ah, my love, you are growing too quickly.
 And the fast lifestyle keeps on coming!!



Be prepared once you click off this page you may come to a screatching halt and fall dead asleep. I have days that end just like that.
