Running

I love running!! I still haven't been able to run very far, not sure why that is. I think its because I don't push myself hard enough. I just need to find more time so that I can do what I love doing.

On Saturday I will be running in my 3rd 5K of the year. I'm really excited to do this. My first 5K didn't go so well. I was only able to run about half of it, and the rest I was walking, and trying to deal with a stupid side ache. My time was about 40 min. Very pitiful. My 2nd 5K went much better. I was able to run most of it. I stopped for only 5 min to walk, and then sprinted the fastest I remember ever running in my life!! My time was 33:02!! I was very proud of myself because my only goal was to beat my last time. And I killed that time!

This 5K on Saturday is going to be different than the other 2. Because I just want to run the ENTIRE thing without walking, and still be able to get a good time! We will just have to see if I can pull this off!! Wish me luck!!!

T-Ball

Conner has been playing T-ball, and he absolutely LOVES it!! We haven't enjoyed the nasty weather, but watching Conner play has more than made up for that!!

Conner gets really into the game, and loves to watch the players hit the ball so that he can catch it!!!

This is him in action, fielding the ball!!

His favorite is to hit the ball, and he hits it pretty far too!!

Vika's Dr Appt

In April Vika went to the Dr for her 2 year old well check-up. I learned that she is still super small, in the 2%tile in height and weight. She is right on track for her growth curve, but she is just so petite. We love her so much, and we wouldn't take her any other way!!!!

She gets really nervous at the Dr, and for good reason too. Every time we go they give her shots. :( This is her nervous smile, she had to have my chapstick, and touch her belly button! All of these are things she does when she is nervous.

Vika's Birthday Party

Better late than never, right? Vika had so much fun at her birthday party!! We had my family over for a BBQ. Vika loved having everyone here and she especially loved opening all her presents, she really got spoiled. We enjoyed pink and white cupcakes, and Vika's favorite part singing Happy Birthday. We then played Band Hero!!! It was such a fun night!!!

Vika was just pulling things out as fast as she could!!! It was really funny!

She would give people a big hug and Thank you after she opened their present!!!

This cape was actually from Conner, but she loved wearing it and she loves her aunt Deb!!!

She kept pulling the funniest faces every time I took her picture! Notice her cute new slippers (from Mom and Dad)!!!!

Thank you everyone that was able to come!!! Vika loved every minute of her party, and she still says Thanks for her presents!!!

Conner's Preschool Graduation

Just FYI for anyone interested in coming Conner's Preschool Graduation Celebration will be on May 19 at 10:45am. If you would like to come let me know and I can let you know where it will be!!!

Happy Birthday Vika!!

This is Vika saying "cheese" before her birthday breakfast!!!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this little girl! She is getting so big, and I don't mean her size. She is still very petite and small, but she has a very big personality! She has a huge vocabulary and she knows her colors! She really wants to do everything her brother does, even if she really is too small.

She absolutely loves nursery and begs almost every day to go!! Its really cute! She loves to sing and dance! And she also loves to watch all of Conner's boy shows!! I love that she likes to be girly and she doesn't mind a little dirt!

She is my little buddy when Conner is in preschool. We go to lunch and go shopping, and have so much fun together! I love her so much and honestly I am so blessed to have her as my daughter!

Silly Kids

2 sick kids watching a movie trying to feel better! :(

Both kids were sick the last 2 weeks in March. They both were so sad. There a few days Conner felt ok and so he would ask if we could go somewhere, and would have to tell him no. He was so sad to miss preschool.

This video is of the kids playing at the bottom of the stairs. They were making each other laugh.

Finally, the last week or so they have been their normal happy, fighting selves. It has been nice to have them feeling good. I just hope that I am not jinxing myself by posting this.
