Spring Soccer

The kids had fun going to the GCU women's spring games this year....

These 2 kids love seeing the 'girls' and running around on the field

They will be ready to cheer for the 'lopes again in the fall!

RUN!

This past Saturday, I participated in Pat's Run in honor of Pat Tillman.

It was AWESOME!!! 30,000 people there....

4.2 miles...I completed it in 47 minutes, jogged the whole thing

I ran with my friend Amy from college....

Here is our only pic....the parking lot before we headed over to the race.

Waiting for the 'finish line' pics to post online

Can't wait for the next race....I think I am officially loving 'running'

It's Stacked.....

.....and it's cute!!

"Check My Yucks"

So the kiddos have started this crazy habit.....

Not sure where it came from but I have a feeling it is here to stay, at least for a while

Everytime they take off their shoes or socks, wake up, finish playing, or just at random times during the day, I may hear Logan say, "Ella pweese check for yucks" and then I hear Ella saying "good, good, yuck, yuck", although the order changes each time.

What are they doing? Checking between their toes....might be checking their own toes or each others toes, but they are checking between their toes.

For what? As they call it....yucks

I have given up trying to understand it or stop it....

It is actually quite hilarious!

Might be time for you to check your own toes for 'yucks' and here's to hoping when you do, all you say is 'good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good"

The sun will come out.......

.....tomorrow

...and the beautiful cool weather will be gone, the a/c will be back on, and summer will be here all too soon....

But we did enjoy the incredibly cool 40-50 degree weather on Saturday and the RAIN!!!

While we were eating dinner the brightest rainbow was outside our window!!!

It was actually a double rainbow

Big Wad Wolf and Rapunzel.....

Our rainy Saturday was filled with fun thanks to aunt renee and aunt suz.....

They took the kiddos to Build-a-bear for their Easter treat!!!

The kids were just slightly excited :0)

Ella had been dreaming about shimmer kitty for weeks and Logan couldn't wait to get his BIG WAD WOLF!!!

Time to stuff Shimmer Kitty... Making sure kitty's heart is just perfect.... Ella helping Logan stuff BWW....he was a little shy at first (notice the hand behind his back)

Logan giving his wolf a heart...

Time for baths....

Scrub a dubby....wolf and kitty in the tubby

Now the outfits.....basketball wolf and rapunzel kitty!

And to make it official.....kitty was named "Rapunzel" and wolf was named "Big Wad Wolf"

Logan and BWW are inseparable

Rapunzel hasn't left Ella's side.....

Thanks Suz and Renee!!!

Let's Go..........

.....fly a kite

Ella LOVES that Mary Poppins song and she also loves to get outside in the wind with her little brother and her daddy and fly her kite!

We have had lots of wind lately and although it brings with it some sneezes for us all, we have tried to make the most of it!

Both Ella and Logan were able to get their kites flying high with just a little help from their daddy!
