We are "BIG TIME" at the park these days!

Hannah and I took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL (80 degree / I can't believe I have my air on already) WEATHER and took a long run yesterday. I use the word run lightly. OK so running with the jogging stroller is no joke. Pushing a 25 pound kid and trying to breath is HARD! It was more of a "sprint to the end of the street and catch your breath.... sprint to the end of the street...pick up a shoe that H has thrown...sprint to the end of the street...tell H to sit down....run to the end of the street...run up the hill like I'm a professional runner and not embarrassed myself in front of the neighbor.. BREATH...you're almost there....finally we reach the park... At that point I wish I brought a glass of wine instead of water.

BUT it's all worth it...

H was never a fan of the swing but now she LOVES it.

Now she wants to climb up the jungle gym. I was all paranoid and thought she needed help. Little did I know H is BIG TIME now and doesn't need my assistance....(kick me in the gut kid..do we need to recap the run I did to get you here? lol...)

I mean she went ALL the way up without me helping...

and all the way down by her BIG TIME self...

SHE LOVED IT!!

We stayed there for about an hour...I came prepared this time. I didn't want the "FALLOUT I'm mad that we're leaving tantrum" So I did what any other mother would do and bribed my kid with a Popsicle. NO TEARS! SUCCESS!!

10 Things I'm loving right now..

I"m really loving these 10 things right now:

I just ordered my double ring from nelle and lizzy I can't wait to get it. I got two. One that says Mike and Devin and one that says Amie and Hannah. I have been searching for a new right hand ring and saw this one and fell in love!! it's suppose to be delivered today!! I can't wait to get it.

Grapes!!! Since I gave up sweets for LENT, I've been eating the shiznits out of grapes!! LOVE THEM...

I'm in love with my new running shoes. I'm even more in love with the fact that Mike has the same pair.(to his defense his are a tiny shade darker) I've always been a asics lover but I thought I'd switch it up a little. They are pretty dang good. They are light on my feet and give great support.  

I just started this book. I can't wait to see the movie!!!

St. Louis Cardinals opening day is APRIL 13th!! I can't wait. I am trying really hard to convince my overworked, too dedicated to his job husband to take off and road trip to St. Louis for this (what I think should be considered a holiday) opening day! (Mike and I met opening day 6 years ago, I think we should go for old time sakes) oh and the Cardinals play the "Horrible I can't stand" CUBS. Can you imagine downtown St.Louis on this day! OUT OF CONTROL!

I have consistently been doing my 30 Day Shred. and let me tell you..this video works!

UM...this stuff is DELICIOUS! and GREAT on a Friday night after a long week of work!

Not that I'm a raging alcoholic on the weekends but this is ALSO DELICIOUS and I highly recommend it

Sorry this picture blows but this place is AWESOME for after work bitch session/Happy Hour

This stuff is the BOMB.COM!! LOVE IT and it's sugar free!!



Let's Go Fly a Kite!

We had a perfect day for flying a kite the other day.

It was pretty comical.. Mike was taking his kite flying pretty serious..

It took a couple of tries but he got it...

We have a great back yard for flying kites

It was so high and flying pretty steady, Mike decided to let Hannah hold it. (1st mistake. this is where the comedy began..)

So right here H is holding it and having a good time...

Then....SWING....she lets go and off goes Daddy... and I'm CRACKING UP at this time...

Here he jumps and grabs it before it goes over the fence into the (snake) creek

What a save
