Riley Kate starts school!!!

Yay for Riley Kate!! She finally became potty-trained and started school!! We are so proud of her! We took the kids to PetsMart for her to pick out a fish because we promised her a new pet fish if she started using the potty! Yay!!

"Blacked eye"


This happened a few weeks ago, but so funny!! Riley Kate somehow got a black eye. As active as that child is, it is almost impossible to figure out how exactly she ended up with a black eye-there is no telling! However she told me it was not a black eye, it was a "blacked eye." Who am I to argue with the princess!?!

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.
