"BIG Tummy!"

I nearly forgot about this until and as I was browsing through pics today, I burst out laughing. Macy has always measure thin and tall for her age at her check ups. However despite her skinny-ness, she has this ability to push her stomach way out. She used to do this when we were changing her diaper (thank goodness no more diapers now!) and she would crack everyone up. Funny girl.

Rockin' it!

Hello out there! It's been awhile since I last blogged, however I was looking through pics and wanted to share! Last summer a few of us ran the Rock and Roll Marathon in Seattle (2010) It was a blast. And super hard!! That was my 3rd full marathon and 2nd time running the Rock & Roll. Yes as you can imagine, each time I run one of these 26.2 mile races...I question my sanity. I question it during the 20 weeks of training, and when I wake up at 4am to travel to the race and especially while running it. Crossing the finish line sure feels good..and a little awful since I could hardly walk. Here's a pic of the group we hung out with. Jon, Melia and I ran the full marathon and the rest, ran the half marathon.

 Here's Porta-Potty City...

 The sea of insane people running for fun :)

 About to start..don't we look excited?

The start line...

 Making sure our shoes are tied. This is when we become a little OCD about every little thing...are our shoes tied evenly, not too tight, not too loose? Is my ponytail squeezing, did I drink too much water, or not enough, do I have to pee for the 13th time this morning?

 Here is a photo taken after the race. Sweet, painful, VICTORY!

Go Jonny!

 

Our fake tats...don't we look tough?

Peyton turned 6!

My Peyton is such a compassionate girl. She is also energetic and loves being active. She is also very helpful. Sometimes she will get Macy ready for bed, by changing her diaper, jammies on and brushing her teeth..she even asks often to change a poopy diaper, which I have not yet allowed! What a great big sister she is.

It's been awhile since I've blogged so I'm going through pictures and this caught my eye. My boy Easton has grown SO much since this pic. And I'm a bit sad because we are taking a break from soccer this year. He played for 5 years. Life is just a bit crazy to have 2 kids in soccer which means 5 days per week.
Right now the kids are taking music lessons, Easton is loving the guitar and Peyton is doing great at piano. So proud of how hard they work!!

Baby Panda

Okay, just have to mention Macy's very favorite "friend". Her name is Baby Panda. She is a furreal pet and moves and cries. Macy loves her to pieces! So sweet.

Okay forgot to mention the plaque my team presented me...it was so sweet. Also check out my sparkly jeans. LOVE THEM. Got them at a consignment shop for $15!

Coach

Over the winter Peyton played her first season of basketball. I was pretty excited for her as it was "my sport" when I was younger. Lots of fond memories! So when I signed her up I said..."Hey I wouldn't mind being an assistant coach". A couple weeks later I got an email saying thanks for being a coach....here is your team list!

What??? Anyways, it turned out really great. I had a blast and the kids, ages Kinder thru 2nd grade actually learned quite a bit. I think Peyton even liked having me as her coach. She did great, my spunky, competitive little girl. Wonder where she gets it?
