Juke Joint Festival 5K




Well, the shirts turned out great! Good job Jennie and Jason! We ran a pretty good race Saturday, not our best, but good. Jason's time was 23:16, and he finished 3rd in his age group. My time was 24:00, and I finished 2nd female overall and 1st in my age group. We had a picture after the race with our 2 biggest fans, still in their PJ's! Don't know why the date is wrong on the picture--just noticed it. There must be something wrong with my camera.

Up for Approval





Jennie had a good idea to make shirts for our running group. Here's a little graphic I threw together this afternoon. The blue text says Clarksdale Running Club. Since we're not an official club, it may be better just to put Clarksdale only. I'm open for criticism: colors, fonts, etc. A red top with black bottom looks pretty good too. Keep in mind the black background is from the software and will not show on the shirt--just the colors we choose.

MUD PUDDLE FUN!




Grayton and Riley Kate had so much fun playing in the water and mud puddles yesterday! I had to take some pictures! Grayton was so sweet to Riley Kate. He held her hand and helped her through the puddles, and then he was showing her how to run through them--too cute!!

UNATTENDED CHILDREN

This is what happens when mommy is studying and daddy is watching the ballgame while the kids are playing (or a better word would be destroying) in Grayton's room. They really do play well together, but Riley Kate thinks that she needs to pull out EVERYTHING to have a good time. Thank the Lord there is 2 of us--Jason and I cleaned it up in no time! It really works well with a team effort!

Grayton is growing up so fast. He loves Pre-3. Each day he can't wait to come home and show off his latest artwork! This one is definitely fridge-worthy, don't you think?!

Riley Kate loves to play outside!! She thinks she is as big as her brother!! It is sad to say, but she is already 20 months. Boy, time flies!!

Welcome Lucy Kate and Bryant!


Lesley and Charles had their twins last week, and we are all so excited! Welcome Lucy Kate and Bryant, we have been waiting to meet you for a long time! The babies look nothing alike! This is hilarious, but Bryant looks just like Charles's grandfather, and Lucy Kate looks like Lesley! They are so beautiful and are doing so well! I just love the feeling of holding a brand new baby--they are truly a gift from God!! Congratulations Charles and Lesley!!

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.
