Super Dad







Well, all I can say is that I am married to an amazing man, and my kiddos have Super Dad for sure!! Most of you know that Jason is not your typical man-he always helps me out around the house and with the children, but I had no idea he would be so amazing for all of us after Brantley arrived in our world!

Jason was so great before, during, and after the delivery! He just amazes me! The kids decided they wanted to stay with us in Jackson the whole time, and Jason and I thought it might ease the transition of adding a new little person to our family, so they stayed at the hospital with us. Sounds crazy, I know, but somehow it worked out perfectly!! The kids zonked out early Thursday night because we had been up so early that morning to check in for the delivery. For those of you who have not delivered at Baptist, it is pretty much like a nice hotel room, especially the bathroom, so that was wonderful for everyone. Friday morning the kids ate breakfast with me and hung out with Brantley for a little while! Jason took them to Chic-fil-a to eat lunch and play on the playground. After that he took them to the Museum of Natural Science. They had such a fabulous time!! Then they went for ice cream, and he even took them to Belk in Dogwwod Market just to let them ride the escalator-haha! I mean what a super dad! We all ate supper together and then went home the next morning! It was such a wonderful and memorable experience for everyone, especially Grayton and Riley Kate! I just love that man more and more every day, and my children are so very blessed to have them as their daddy!!

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.
