Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I made all the Shamrocks from Felt. I love how it turned out! I got the vase for 50 cents at Goodwill and used pipe cleaners for the stems. I love green!

Big Boy Trip!

Tyler and Austin flew to Illinois a week ago Thursday until Sunday. Tyler went to a "Canoecopia" Convention (All about canoes and kayaks) with his dad and Austin got to hang out with Grandma and Amanda. Lucky Kid! Actually LUCKY ME! It was me and Blake all weekend and what a treat that was!

Of course there were trips to the park! The first thing I asked Austin when he got back was, "What did you do at grandma's house?" He replied..."I played with TRUCKS!"

It was Amanda's 13th Birthday the day they flew in.! A teenager already? I guess she's acted old enough to be one for about 4 years now. :)

Meet Squints

We have fun at the dinner table

This is Blake's classic squints smile...he copies us as we laugh and laughs too. Maybe this is what we look like too, we just don't realize it.

Austin is learning, slowly, how to share toys with Blake...

Pushups

Okay, I really hate to brag, but I feel VERY proud of myself right now. I must still have some adrenaline from my race yesterday...but today I did 145 pushups....That's right....read it again...

145

The mental toughness is getting stronger! I did 5 total sets to get me to that number. (Resting a pretty good amount in between - probably the longest rest period was 4 minutes)...I really just want to get a shirt that says "I DID 100 PUSHUPS"

Cowtown Half Marathon

We did it!!! Here I am with friends. The course was a great one! I ran it in 1:57:19. My goal was to get under 2 hours and I was happy to do it. Now what to do next???

Dinosaur World

We spent yesterday at Dinosaur World...about an hour away. It was a fun adventure. After we walked around to look at the dinosaurs there was a great playground to play on. We went to the playground first for a bit and Austin peed through his diaper really bad! We had an extra outfit for Blake so Austin got to wear some 9 month size pants! Pretty funny! Check out his pants in the next pictures.

Oh yah! You work those pants boy!

Pretending he's a Dinosaur

Austin thought he could scare him

He's gonna eat me!

Oh yes, and Blake came too!

The nasty colored waterhole...

Tyler thinks he can communicate with them

Acting like Dinosaurs!

Fun with Boys

Austin and Blake have been having fun riding their bikes. Austin does a good job pushing Blake.

Lately Blake has been doing this really goofy smile...maybe his new nickname will be "Squints"

Chub-a-lub in the tub. Now we bathe sitting up! Hooray. He's got some serious thunder thighs and this picture does not do them justice.

Austin doesn't like the paint to get on his fingers.

His 2 favorite colors

We got this awesome trike for a great price thanks to our awesome neighbors who were selling it! Austin LOVES it.

I did my Pushup max last night and did 45 pushups! Wahoo! Still a long way from 100...but honestly, I don't think I'll get there. Yah...bad attitude, but really...I like the workout, so I'll keep doing it for a while. Half Marathon is this weekend!!!!!! I'll let you know how it goes.
