Chicago

This past weekend we headed to Chicago to cheer on my little sister at the Chicago Marathon. Katie did awesome and finished in a little over 4 hours! I am so proud of her! We got to see her between mile 25 and 26 and she was bookin' it. She looked like she was just out for a 3 mile run. :) Even though she is my little sister, I completely look up to her and envy her determination and dedication. She is an amazing sister and friend! Way to go Katie...I Love You!!

Here are a few pictures of our weekend in Chicago!

Sorry for the blurry picture...I was jumping up and down and screaming and then remembered to take a picture.

Thank you so much Sarah! It means so much to me that we were able to do this together. I wouldn't have made it through without knowing you guys were out there somewhere cheering for me. I love you

Cold Days of February

Even though it's cold outside, we still try to have as much fun as we can!  This particular week in February ended with a ton of fun at Great Wolf Lodge.  Jason and I decided that instead of buying the kids more "things" for Christmas, we would buy them experiences.  We hadn't been to Great Wolf since Lakelyn was one.  Avery and Oaks had been talking about going back, and were always telling Lakelyn how much fun it was.  We made a cute little note and wrapped it in a box to give them Christmas morning.  Needless to say, when they opened it, they were super excited.  Might of been the best response ever to a Christmas gift!  Beautiful snowflakes! Isn't God's beauty AMAZING!  My little Elsa watching Frozen on this snowy day.  This costume has been worn more than any other in this house!  Family challenge of who can do a handstand push up.  I lost, but I will get them next time!  lol!  Morning s...

1|52 Looking ahead, with 2017 just a reflection. My hope for 2018 is to simplify my life. Spend more one on one time with each kiddo, take more walks in the woods, sit and talk more, laugh and enjoy each other to the fullest. Oaks and I took a walk to the river today, just the two of us. It was seriously cold, but it was sweet to have some time with him. Cheers to the new year!

February Fun

At one time, February was my least favorite month.  Now I can honestly say it is one of my favorites.  Basketball is winding down, softball is only once a week and baseball, and soccer have yet to start.  Jason isn't crazy busy and we seem to have more time at home together.  These are the moments I cherish.  Again, wrestling is always a favorite activity!  Daddy got the new basketball goal put up and the kids stayed out way past dark to shoot hoops.  These two were glued to a movie.  Lakelyn was so excited to get a bag of M&M's to put in her "M&M Trophy" as she calls it.  Oakley has been wearing these house shoes every night.  Lakelyn was walking her dog! lol! Hanging out in "mine and my sisters" bedroom at Papa and Granny's.  Mom, Uncle Mike, and Oaks are looking at old pictures.  Avery, Lakelyn and Aunt Kat are playing barbies.  This bedroom will forever hold a special ...
