Birthday Party

Well, yesterday was my mom's birthday and today was my sister's, so we had a joint party! Grayton wanted he and Riley Kate to make the birthday cake especially for Ali and Nette, so we did!! It was quite the mess, but we had a fun time doing it, and the kids put more icing on the cake than I had ever seen. It was so much it eventually started sliding off!! Oh well, it was cute and very special!!!
Riley Kate wanting to stick her finger in the middle of the cake--I just can see it on her face!!

The cake baked and decorated by the cutest little chefs I have ever seen!!!!

The little chefs!

Silly little cakemakers!!!

Happy Birthday Ali!

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.
