A Birthday,Gymnastics and the last 1st day of preschool

My babies are growing up!  August 20th Kayla turned 8!  She had a friend party at the local bakery and then her family party that night at home.

 Saturday Kayla participated in her first gymnastics meet!  She did great and won 3rd place vault, 3rd place beam and 3rd place all around.  We can't wait until the next meet!

 Hayden started MDO for the year yesterday.  This was his last 1st day of preschool:(

Are you ready for football season?

I have Auburn and Alabama watches for sale!  The Auburn watch is approx. 1.75 inches in diameter and is $16 plus $5 shipping.  (Yes, I could ship cheaper but you risk the chance of it breaking!)

The Alabama watch is 0.75 inches in diameter and $15 plus $5 shipping.  If you are interested then just leave me a comment and I will comment you back with how to get in touch with me.  I will take paypal payments only unless you happen to be local.  Thanks!

So true....

I got this text from my favorite instructor at my gym and I love it!  She is always fussing at me to stay off the scale:)

Got Sweat?

I put this on my facebook tonight too....this is me after my 5 mile run tonight.  Yucky but it is the best therapy in the world:)  LOVE it!

Soccer, Outback,3rd Grade & Running

The first practices of this soccer season were this past Saturday.

Hayden's practice was at 9:00

and Kayla's HOT practice was at 11:00

After practice we went to UAB in Birmingham to visit my best friend and her newborn baby:)  After the visit we ate dinner at Outback....yummy!  I pigged out on the bloomin' onion and Alice Springs Chicken and tried not to think about how many calories I consumed!   Yeah, I am doing GREAT at maintaining my weight....I want to LOSE more weight but can't seem to be disciplined enough to do it!

Kayla Monday morning before school.

Kayla and I after her first training run for her 1st 5k.  Her school is doing a 5k fundraiser in November and she has been wanting to do a 5k so it will be perfect for her first one!  Now if I can just survive her training runs and my training runs for my 2nd half marathon in November!  My legs might fall off!



I LOVE my Babies:)

More pics from our beach trip last week:)

My camera hadn't adjusted to the temp. difference

Summer's Ending....

I can't believe school starts back Monday.  It seems like it just ended.  We have had a GREAT summer but I will admit I can't wait for long sleeve t's and jeans...oh how I LOVE jeans!

Our summer has been full of trips to Point Mallard

Beach Trip to my Mom's in Gulf Shores

 Vacation Bible School

Many Lake Weekends

and last week was spent on our annual trip with my Dad to Seaside, FL:)



Oh how we will miss lazy days, sleeping late, staying up late, the ice cream truck, and Wednesday trips to the library.  Goodbye summer....we will miss you!
