Summer Days

Pics of swimming in the backyard

Pics from the Library

I am trying to relax now that school is over, BUT I can't seem to do that for some strange reason! So I am running the kids ragged with projects and activities, but the good news is the kids are exhausted at the end of the day. Yesterday, we jogged 5 miles, swam for 2 hours, had a picnic, went to the library and to get ice cream, and finally swam again! WHEW--busy day, but everyone was alseep by 9:15, including me! (For those of you who may not know, that is an amazing bedtime in this house! We have 2 little night owls who think they are supposed to stay up until 11:00!) Well anyway, here are some pics of some of our activities!

OUR ADDICTION!!

OUR ADDICTION!!
After the birth of Grayton, Jason and I began running and became highly addicted!! I soon made my first jogging stroller purchase, The Tike Tech all terrain single jogger. It was wonderful until I needed another seat for Riley Kate. I got this Dreamer Design off of ebay, and I love it! I call it my freedom and my sanity because I can load up the kids and go running whenever I feel like it! The kids love to stroll. They usually ask to go. We have run several races just for fun--Delta Jubilee 5K, Juke Joint Festival 5K, St. Jude 1/2 Marathon, Double Decker 10K, 300 Oaks 10K, etc. We love to run and if there is a race we can make it to, we'll run it!! We are running about 4 to 5 miles a day now with long runs of 7 to 12 miles on the weekends!

A LITTLE HOBBY OF MINE

A LITTLE HOBBY OF MINE
Since Grayton's 1st birthday, I have ventured out a bit and started baking and creating my kid's birthday cakes each year. Also, I am the homeroom mother for Grayton's class, so I am trying to get creative with my baking. I am not very good at it, but it is so much fun!! If anyone has any new cute ideas, share them with me.
