Sister is 3 years old!!!



Well, Riley Kate turned 3 and had about 3 birthday parties with family and we are still going to have 1 more for her friends--can we say Princess?? She is so funny-she really thinks her birthday is not just on July 14, but the whole month of July!! I love this little wild woman more than anything!! God gave us Riley Kate to keep us on our toes, and boy, she does just that!! She has developed such an outgoing, friendly personality--she will be such the little social butterfly!! She walks in every room like she owns it--no matter who is in there or what is going on!! I absolutely cannot imagine life without this precious little girl!! We love her so!!

Weekend at the Beau

Shade, Julie, Jason and I all took a long weekend getaway to the Beau Rivage!! We had so much fun!! It was some much needed R & R!! I am already ready to go back-haha!!


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.
