For Kami's 10th B-day, she took some friends out to lunch, a movie and the mall. They had a great time. We saw "Up" at the theatre. I loved it. I have to admit, I cried more than once. They had a fabulous lunch at Red Robin and tried on some cool stuff at the mall. Happy Birthday Kamryn!!

Sydney's First Swim Meet

Wow, was it ever crowded and loud at Sydney's first swim meet with the Parkwood Piranhas. She was pretty nervous after her warmup lap. She was scared but she got up there and did it anyway. She swam in the under 8 25m freestyle. We are soooo proud of her. She had another meet the next Saturday and cut 4 seconds off her time. Go Sydney!!!

Garden

I finally have a day off!! I caught up the blog, so page down to see pictures from May. I am so proud of how the flower garden turned out this year. Everything I added this year has some sentimental value to me. The Hydrangeas are from my Mom. She gave them to me last year for Mother's Day and I am so glad they came back this year. Matt and I planted the Gardenias to remind us of our trip to Tahiti on our 10th Anniversary. They smell gorgeous. My Mom always had Impatients in the front yard of our house in Florida and I have always liked them. I have some incredible Irises (not pictured) that are just starting to bloom. I took them from my Grandmother's flower garden in Pennsylvania. Watching something come up from the ground grow and bloom under your care is so fulfilling to me. I hope next year the garden will be even better

Spring Concert

We are so proud of Kaylee. She sang another solo at her Chorus concert!

May Birthdays

We took the fam over to Beth's house to celebrate our May birthday girls. Happy Birthday Beth, Katie, Gabby and Emily.

A few more photos of our Fairy Princess!

Gabby is 3!

Our baby turned 3! Her Birthday included lots of princesses, lots of dress-ups and lots of cake!

Mother's Day

Jennifer, Beth and I took Mom out for a Mother's Day lunch. We ate, we shopped, we rearranged Mom's dining room. We had a lot of fun. It was even better because Bubba came along for the trip.

Running Frustrations

I took a little break from my running while I had a sinus infection a couple weeks ago. Couldn't even think about running with my head throbbing. Now that I am feeling better I need to jump right back on that horse again and start training. My next LONG run was supposed to be the 10 miler. I guess a week of no running really confused my body. 4 miles about killed me. This week I have good health and but no motivation. I missed running on Monday because of a schedule change (it was raining anyway) Tuesday I was lazy and slept in until it was time to get ready and be at work at 9. Today I just can't seem to get out the door. It is a beautiful day and could be a great run, I just have NO motivation. I even thought about scaling back to the half marathon in the Fall. HELP!!!

15 Years of Wedded Bliss

Fifteen years ago I married my Prince, my soulmate, my Eternal Companion.
Matt, thank you for being my best friend for 15 years. I love you and the beautiful family we have made together. I hope someday our girls will find someone that they love as much as I love you.
