Pondering...

Life!   I'm about to turn 40 this year and just soaking in each moment of life.  All the twists and turns.  Seeing what God has in store for me, what he wants to do in my life.

An amazing blessing in my life is this little guy.  My amazing son, James.  He is truly a treasure!  

Although in school he is trying to give his momma a heart attack. He is in jeopardy of promotion to the 4th grade.  Big sigh.   I love him so much!  

I was able to get a copy of my daughters school picture this year.  7th Grader on our hands!  Lol!  😊. She is loving school! Not necessarily loving life.  Typical teenage outlook on life - boring, nothing to do, everybody is mean can't go anywhere or do anything.  Welcome to life kiddo! It only gets better! 

In other news, my tax return finally came in so I can get my hair done.  Just need some color, that's it!  

We did participate in a 5k this past weekend.  It was a lot of fun! 

Still not placing in the races but it's still fun to run regardless.  

Have a great day folks!!  :-). 

Live Life Happy!

Happy Days. 🐝🐤🐣

I feel like Spring has sprung here!  I'm loving the warmer weather.

Not a lot going on other than lots of time outdoors, it seems.  

Here's a few pics of the past couple of weeks.  

Tom and Sue participated in a 5k race Live your life well" series.  They both did great although it was freezing out. 

Pic of Sues bday.  She had a slumber party.

Good times!  We have another 5k this weekend.  I'll post more pics afterwards.  

Me Strong

We had so much fun t the Me Strong race today!

Our first Me Strong race!

So much fun!!

We are going to try and make it a habit to run in a 5k every month!

Running as a family is so much fun!!

Sunny Saturday

Good Morning Saturday!!

We woke up this morning, everyone was in great spirits and ready to have a fun day!!

First up, cooking in the kitchen with dad!

Pancakes are the best!!

And just for kicks, squirting honey in his mouth.  When he was little, he used to eat spoonfuls of honey for a sore throat (obviously it was a hit with him)

Susan's Mickey Mouse pancakes.  

And then a healthy egg bake for mom and dad.  

Tom and Susan will be participating in a 5k at the end of this month so went and picked up the shirts this morning. 

Here they are sporting the T!

And in the spirit of Valentines Day...

Valentines decor will be put out soon! XOXOXO

I'm going to wash that gray right out of my hair..

So, I've discovered that I 'm not even 40 yet and the grays are beginning to be more prominent.

I am so discouraged.

I took a few pictures on my camera (trying to test out the timer) and I discovered another thing, my daughter and I smile alike.  When she was younger she would always smile and it would be all teeth.  I tried to encourage her to smile a little smaller (ha, is that possible?! :-))

This picture was before date night with my husband.  Trying to work on reconciliation.

We went to Red Lobster!  I was spoiled. Imagine being barely able to buy groceries and then being treated to a 3 course dinner .  I was beside myself that night.

It's almost Valentines Day!  I can't wait to put out some decorations this weekend.  XOXOXO

The girls

I am so happy when my daughter is able to get together with family and bond.  It was no different when Susan's cousin Colette was able to come over and spend some time.

Here are some cute pics of the girls in action.

And there is my son attempting the same trick on the trampoline.

It was a great Christmas break and it is now back to normal everyday life!  I wish I had a job where I could spend more time with my kiddos and more days off with them. What am I saying, I do have a job like that now.  The next step would be stay at home mom and nothing pays the bills like good ol' greenbacks funded by the US Treadury.  

Life is now!  Live it to the fullest!  :-)

Out on the boardwalk....

Down by the sea....today we drove down by the docks to take some pictures of my littles.  These are pictures I normally take at Christmas time but we were running late this year.

Some of my top favs!

And afterwards we had lunch at a corner shop.  Chicken wings were really good!  Sanford, my friends.  It's where it's at.

Good ending to the first week of Jan 2015.
