Middle of May Update

Reese finished out her last week of school. She sang “Jesus Loves Me” with her class and all the other classes preformed a song as well. She’s ready for swim lessons to start Monday, and then she’s going to take dance class this summer as well. Soon our days will be filled with afternoons by the pool. Reese was really excited because Ryan was finally able to come to a program at her school.001006008011

Friday, Stacey came to visit. She thankfully agreed last minute to come run a leg on our Stroller Strides Relay Marathon team. We had some injured people in the last few days before the race and Stacey was kind enough to come down and run for us. She looked really great in her Stroller Strides “Fit Moms Rock” team tank.

013Some of the team members from the Stroller Strides teams we had024Stacey and I after the race. I ran leg one, Stacey was leg six (I had 3.9 miles and she had 4.9) I wore a “Baby on Board” sign on my back…I imagine there were lots of people mad when I would pass them up while running.

Stacey ran an impressive 8:30 min mile in the extreme heat, and I ran an impressive 11 min mile in the early more thick humidity. I’d say both our times were pretty damn impressive.

Reese REALLY wanted to run in the race with us…I told her when she gets a little older she can (shockingly LOTS of kids run a leg of the race)

*Note pardon my Medusa like hair..it was windy, hot and REALLY humid

Disney On Ice

002To say she was tired would be a slight under statement. This poor kid fell asleep while Ryan and I ate dinner one night. We came into the living room to see her sleeping like this.

Ryan came along this year for Disney on Ice and even he had a good time. For someone who was such a non believer before we went to Disney World he’s a sucker for the Mouse now. We both got a little laugh while we were there thinking about the fact that we’ll have two girls obsessed with Disney Princesses in a few years.  The good thing is I am totally fine with the Disney obsession…and I think without fully admitting it, Ryan is too. He’s getting much closer to knowing the difference between all the Princesses.

The funniest part is that they played a song from the movie Enchanted (which is a big hit in our house) and Ryan even knew the words to the song…I am proud of him!
