Here are some projects I worked on this weekend!!

Slumber Party at Nana's

This past weekend Jeff took his annual guys backpacking trip and was gone for 3 days! So me and the kids had a slumber party at my mom's house! Nathan had drill this weekend so Ashley joined in on the fun too!!!

We had a really good time! Friday we had high hopes of staying up all night sewing while the kiddos slept! Didn't make it all through the night but did learn how to read patterns from my mom and I did start on a dress!

Saturday I went home to put Coop and Reed down for good nap and on our way home Coop PUKED everywhere. After I cleaned up her and the car seat I put her down for a nap! After she woke up she was totally fine! (I moved her to the back of the van this weekend to avoid Avin and Parker fighting in the van and my thought was maybe she just got car sick)! Our plan was to take the kids to Chick fil a and then to Sweet CeCe's!! We waited a couple hours after Cooper got up to see how she was going to do with food! She seemed fine! So we braved it and took all the kiddos to Chick fil a! Once I walked in the door I saw a handful of people I knew and smiles and said hi then the next thing I knew I was covered in puke!!! Yes within seconds of walking into Chick fil a she puked all over me!! So I ran out to the van and my mom grabbed Reed and I took them home!! She was so confused and upset!! All she kept saying was I want to play and I want chicken!

So I had my first.... getting puked on in a public place!!! I hope that NEVER happens again!!

Here are some pictures!

Tom King Nashville Half March 12 2011

Last weekend Jeff and I got to go to Nashville just the two of us!!! We had such a wonderful time! We spent most of our time shopping and eating out. I ran a race on Saturday morning! This was #3 of my 12-12 goal. I was so not prepared for this race mentally and physically. The week prior to the race my mind was so focused on getting Reed healthy that I didn't spent much time running or even thinking about this race! I even came close to not even running it because I didn't want to be disappointment with my time!

I am sure glad I ran it because I ended up beating my personal record and got the time of 1:44:15 which is s 7:58 pace. The race was just beautiful and to make it even better the weather was just amazing. You couldn't have asked for a better day.

Here is the break down on my miles split times.
