random phone pics...again!

I love taking phone pics, as you know by now, so here's MORE!

Hanging with my little man while big brother was at school...

Momma's two, tough guys!


ewwww cheesy face! Can you tell this boy loves Cheetos?!

Jake and his friends...little bro was too busy chowing down on cheetos! Ha!

yep, he's wearing his pj's on his head! I'm telling you this boy is SILLY!

we like to take pics after our morning runs...Jake rides his bike and Justin enjoys riding in the stroller! These boys are my motivation on days where I don't feel like working out, they push me!
and Mommy after her run...Ya know the half marathon is about 115 days away! YIKES! hopefully I'm able to reach my goal of running 13.1 miles!!

ahhh, not sure why I love taking phone pics, but I sure have WAY too many photos on my phone that are too cute to erase! so many random memories that I love so much!

well, are ya?

Are you addicted to Pinterest? I sure am!

Whether it's finding this really clever way to carve a pumpkin?

of finding these super cute camo cupcakes to make for my boys?

Are these not the coolest cupcakes EVER??!

or my most favorite part of Pinterest...the motivational quotes! I have an entire board dedicated to motivation and when I'm fixing to workout, I read through my pins, get pumped up and head out to exercise! If you pin, then follow me and I'll follow you right back!

Have fun pinning, but be warned...IT'S ADDICTING!!!

spending time with my Little Man

Now that big brother is in preschool three days this year, it allows for baby boy and I to have some much-appreciated bonding time! The other day we went to the park and he loved the one-on-one attention! He loves being outside and playing hard, so this was perfect...even though the temps were outta control, HOT! He was so happy and asked if we could go to the park, EVERY DAY!

you might be a redneck...

if this is what your boys look like EVERY evening!!!

She's Married!

She stood in my wedding almost seven years ago,

She is the Godmother to my youngest son,

the greatest friend ANY girl could ask for

and now she's Mrs. Baker! Woohoo!

a few pics from the Rehearsal Dinner-all phone pics because my big 'ol SLR camera didn't match my outfit! Ha!
...the only pic of my hubby and I at the wedding :(

Mrs. Ashlyn Baker! She's looking pretty and ready to walk down the aisle! She was a beautiful bride and I don't think her smile ever left her face. The reception was great and now she's off having a blast on her honeymoon! Love ya, Ashlyn...CONGRATULATIONS!

STRIKE

look at the determination...

Now these are really bad action shots AND he's in his pj's, but aside from that we are SO proud of him and his pitching abilities at only 4 years old! Maybe because he's our son, we think he's amazing but seriously...he's GOOD! Take a look...

and he throws the ball hard...

His Daddy was a really good pitcher, so maybe we've got a boy following in Daddy's footsteps? It's too soon to tell, but for now we'll be happy knowing that he LOVES practicing pitching and loves throwing strikes!

I am totally not going to be that crazy baseball mom (hopefully), but it makes me so happy knowing he loves this sport. His Daddy and I love baseball so we'll see where it goes but one thing is for sure...we WILL NOT pressure him into doing anything he does not wanna do.

We are proud of you, Jacob! And we're happy that you're loving baseball right now!

first day of school, belated post!

That handsome boy was ready to go, bright and early for his first day of school last week! He loved seeing his buddies from last year and meeting his new teachers. He said they are cool teachers and he's already learning a lot AND they have him as their helper with certain things because of his BIG MUSCLES!!! Ha! His music teachers say he's shy and doesn't really like to sing, but he has classroom and music teachers thinking he's such a little sweetheart! Which he totally can be a SUPER sweet guy, but he sure likes to run wild, be ALL BOY and drive his baby brother nuts sometimes! Ha! Our reports from teachers so far, say: He's so mature. He loves sports. He's a sweetheart. He's made some good friends in class. He is ALWAYS on his best behavior! Well, I'm happy that he's saving all that super, sweet boy behavior for the classroom! Woohoo!

Poor little guy is ready to play soccer, but unfortunately there wasn't a fall league with openings this season, so maybe we'll have better luck in the spring?

He is very excited to run another 1K race with us in October! Jacob rides his bike and baby brother has been training a lot with Mommy, as he rides in the jogging stroller while I work on my mileage! They are my #1 fans, but most of the time they tell me to

RUN FASTER, MOMMY...You're going TOO slow!!! Ha!

The half marathon is January 15, 2012 so we better step it up with our training! Up until this week, it's been way too hot to get more than three miles, but now that we're having low's in the 60's and high's in the breezy 80's, we should be good and ready to TRAIN, for real!
