Uncle Kevin turns 40

Uncle Kevin turned 4o in February! We helped him

celebrate his birthday in June with a drive and ride

at Texas Motor Speedway. It was fun not only for Kevin

but for the whole gang! What an experience we all had!

Conleigh's birthday party was at the Brookshire's Wildlife Museum.

Everyone enjoyed playing on the playscapes, fire truck, swinging and

getting cool in the museum. Rhett loved every bit of the playscape!

Time for cake

Conleigh enjoyed her cake the most...she even wanted her

friend Cooper to join in on the fun...she said, "want some?"

I think she took a bath in the icing??

Two cool cats enjoying themselves!

Conleigh had a great 2nd birthday party. Will and

Rhett loved celebrating with her.

We love you Conleigh!

First Stop...Mexican Food

Oh how we miss having Mexican Food...Mercado's!

After driving for two days back to Texas...our first stop was

to have some good ole food! Will and Rhett did great in

the car and were ready to see their family.

Rhett and Conleigh...notice Woody and Jesse too!

Cousins glad to be together!

I am going to be sharing lots of photos from our trip to Texas!

What a great time we all had!!

Our Very First...Half Marathon!

Jeremy and I began 2010 with a bang....we started training for our very 1st half marathon! It began when our coach and inspiration, Christa Zoch, posed a fitness challenge to our MOPS group in the fall of 2009! Along with our dear friend Bethany, we worked extremely hard and accomplished something we never dreamed possible.....we successfully finished the Borgess Run for the Health of It half marathon! That's 13.1 miles...an accomplishment we will never forget!

Christa and myself at mile 10! Mark, Ethan, Avery and Bethany's father-in-law, Norm, were there taking pictures and cheering us on along the way!

Jeremy at mile 10...go Daddy go!

Daddy at the finish line....with his biggest and most supportive fan, Will!

Christa and I crossing the finish line.....what a wonderful feeling! Thank you to Christa for supporting me along the way and helping me achieve a significant goal in my life!

Our MOPS fitness challenge group....Marianne, Bethany, Christa, and me! We did it!

A very special thank you to Bethany....she was a wonderful partner and accountability coach! We also want to thank Mimi and MawMaw for being there, cheering us on, and being there for Will and Rhett while we met a significant goal! Thank you for your support and for your love!

Since the half marathon, Bethany, Christa and I ran a 7K in Climax and Jeremy and I continue to run weekly to maintain our progress! Thank you again to everyone for your support and encouragement!

Career Day

Last week, Will's class had career day.

Will went as a professional CUBS ball player.

His class had a fun day and even interviewed each

other about the career they had chosen.

Daddy's New Toy

Well, Daddy got him a new toy on Friday!

He has been wanting a JEEP for a while now but

he wasn't able to find the right one. UNTIL...this past Friday.

He found one. On Friday, he took the train to

Chicago to pick it up. We have been enjoying it!

Maybe me more than him...I can't believe it, I have

been taking it everywhere. It is soo fun to ride around

town in. Today Will wanted to take the JEEP to school, so we did!

Even Rhett likes to take Daddy's JEEP! Maybe Jeremy

will have more time this weekend to enjoy it!
