Half Marathon

So I did it!! And I loved it!

After training all spring (somewhat consistently), I finished my very first half marathon. And I am so glad that I did...I NEVER in my life would've thought that this girl would actually run 13 miles willingly. When I reached the final 5k, I actually got tears in my eyes because it was such a huge accomplishment for me.
Congratulations to Brock on his first (and I'm pretty sure FINAL) marathon as well...he finished the last part of the race with Kaden on his shoulders!

55...and still alive

Happy birthday Dad!

It's all this yard work that is keeping you alive
at the ripe old age of 55.
It's also keeping mom from "driving right on by".
Love you!

heartbreak

Why? Why? Why?

Why must you do this to me every year?

mother's day weekend

Love, love, love going home.
Especially for Mother's Day weekend.

I love me some beautiful scenery that only Preston can provide.

I love me some Lola bubble baths. Even if she doesn't.

I love me some nieces.

I love me some nephews.

And I love me some spa treatments and girl talk.

But mostly, I love me some Mommy.
