Chocoholic Frolic -February Race

Loaded up and heading to Morgan's wonderland. My February race is the Chocofrolic. 

Bill and the boys bundled up to cheer me on. It was a bit cool this morning. 

I met Brad and Amy at the start line. 

They had a few sayings around the route. This one made me think of my mom. 

The weather was a bit muggy but I woke up and my body felt great. Amy and I headed out together chatting away. 

After the first loop I headed into where all the soccer fields are. They had a water station and we're giving Hershey kisses. I grab a bunch and then I saw my boys. I gave high fives and handed off the candy. Bill said they ate all of it. 

After the race the boys got to play on the playground. Such a nice facility out there. There was butterflies everywhere so we snapped a picture. 

Brad got 1st place in his division and 2nd overall so we stayed for the awards ceremony. McCoy was a trooper but soon fell asleep. 

I ran the entire race without walking. My knees felt great and never really got too winded. Now this morning my back is sore and my calves and thighs are burning.

Kiernan's basketball

Kiernan's basketball is in full swing these days. He gets so excited when he has practice or a game. 

Learning all the aspects of the game. Even good sportsmanship. 

Here he is shooting a scoring his first basket. He was so excited. 

He is extremely scared the ball is going to hit him in the face or head so we are trying to get him to be more aggressive. He stands in the middle and watches everything. But I think he is learning things and having tons of fun. 

My Dad

Well today is the most important day for my favorite man in my life. He is going into surgery to remove the tumor that has stopped our family in our tracks. The moment we all found out on December 19th life just hasn't been the same. He had to make the crucial decision to try and get this tumor out to prolong his life. 

Last Saturday we moved the coffe table from the living room and created a dance floor so my dad could dance with my mom. He went through the CD called dad's dozen that my sister had made for him long ago. He went through each song and talked about why he liked it and the importance of it to him. 

Patsy Cline's Crazy came on and he danced with my mom. Such an amazing moment for them and also for ash and I to see. Our parents still in love and holding each other in such a hard time. 

Finally dad came over to us girls and we took a picture together. I'm praying the doctor's can heal my dad's body so he can watch my children grow up and he can continue to enjoy golf and my mom and him can live many happy years together. 

Go get 'me dad. Just like you never missed any of my games growing up. I'll be there for you as you fight your own battle. 

We love you dad!!!

Spurs game

One of our suppliers gave us Spurs tickets. We loaded up and headed down with the boys. Bill ran and got KK his own Tim Duncan shirt. At one time Kiernan said Tim Duncan was his best friend. 

He immediately began cheering for them. He was jumping up and down screaming when we scored. He was having the best time. 

But on the way home these boys passed out. A little too much weekend fun. 

McCoy is 7 months old

These two melt my heart. My double stroller is broken so I have to load them up together in the single but that is no problem. They love each other. McCoy adores his big brother and always smiling at him even if KK is a little rough with him. 

McCoy just can't get the sickies right now. His nose is constantly running. He can't drink his milk because he can't breathe. He pulls on his ear occasionally to make me think he hasn't totally kicked the ear infection. But I can still get that boy to smile from ear to ear. He just has the sweetest spirit. 

I put on the cute train outfit and did a little photo shoot. He is sitting up very well. He is decked out and looking good for church. 

He always has his mouth open. He isn't that into tummy time so he is not into crawling yet. 

Bill caught a cute picture of his little curled tongue.
