HATE/LOVE

Deacon received this barnyard moon dough set for Christmas.

This is the third time they have played with it.

Deacon has asked many times to play with it....MANY TIMES.

The moon dough is super fun to play with and keeps them busy for a while.

The fact is that I HATE TO CLEAN it up. The dough gets everywhere and is very difficult to gather up.

I have a love/hate relationship with moon dough.

Watermelon Fun

The kiddos love watermelon. They even love watermelon more when it looks like a Shark.

15 and a half inch Hair Cut

I felt it was time to cut my hair. I have been growing my hair for 3 and half years now.

Kelsey asked Clinton if he wanted to be the one cutting my hair but he said no. It was some what traumatizing to go from super long hair to super short hair. HOWEVER I feel much better knowing that my hair will go to Locks of Love....all 15 and a half inches.

Easter Fun

We started our Easter fun by going to the Base for their Easter egg hunt.

Then we went to G and G Love's home for another Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Morning

This year I made Resurrection Rolls. They turned out really good and tasted really great too! These will be a new Easter Tradition.

And just for Fun!

13.1

On April 16th 2011 Clinton, Jessica, Liz, Brad and myself, along with 4,000 others completed a HALF MARATHON!!!

It was so amazing! I never thought in a million years I would complete a Half Marathon. Clinton ran the half last year and so this year I told him that IF I did a half Marathon he would have to stay with me......AND HE DID. He pushed me on when all I just wanted to do was cry and give up. There were many tears, doubts and fears, but when I crossed the finish line holding Clint's hand it was truly amazing. I beat my personal best for 1 mile, 3 mile and 5 mile. After that it all went down hill. By mile 9, I had hit my wall....then I we approached State Street....that was HELL. State Street indicated that we only had three miles left....those three miles took forever, because we were going up hill. There were crowd cheerers saying to me and Clint "You are almost done just around the corner"...that's when the tears came and I was thinking to myself that I didn't give up that I just needed to push through the pain and I would finish.

This is truly a testament of Enduring to the End!

Big Thanks to Dawna and Taylor for coming over and watching the kids and cleaning my house. You two are the BEST!!!
