Our week in photos

Nathan Golf 2013

See that little golfer pictured below?  He is turning FOUR in 2 days!  We have been busy planning some birthday surprises for him, and of course doing a little party planning.  I decided to scale way back this year and just have a few of his buddies over our house, but I just can't help myself when it comes to crafting up a few party things.  We are really looking forward to celebrating his ...

Workout Wednesday {running edition}

brooks adrenaline GTS 13

Well I finally hit a big running milestone this past weekend...I ran 10 miles!  Double digits!  It felt great, and I'm feeling more and more confident about the decision to run my first half marathon in 2 months.  I'd like to keep working on my endurance and speed, upping my mileage a bit more, and trying my best to stay injury free.  In an effort to do so, I'm convinced that the right running ...

Fun-filled Weekend Recap

OC fair 2013

I'm back....and I mean it, I'M BACK!  After a pretty craptastic last 2 weeks I'm happy to say the sicknesses have cleared our household, the sun has been shining, and my boys have been smiling.  I know a large part of the positive change has been my attitude...I really needed to pull myself out of a funk and get back at it! Thursday turned out to be a great day.  I went to morning boot camp, met ... [ Read More ]

This mama has lost her mojo!

tonsillitis

You know you've had a bad week when the highlight of it was spending 2 hours in a dentist's chair.  Yeah my teeth were being drilled but I got to watch The Food Network, and there weren't any screaming kids.  It was sadly enjoyable. The boys are at a really hard age right now.  They fight like maniacs and they love like maniacs.  Unfortunately they still show their love for one another in the ... [ Read More ]
