Easter!

Easter is def getting more fun as the kiddos get older! Lys had a lot of fun looking for her basket and searching for eggs! I think she thinks that Cohen's basket was for her too because everything he got, she took! Guess he will get used to that, lol! We had a pretty low key day, and Greg and I went on a 4mi run with the kiddos in the gorgeous weather. Then we went to my Dad and Patty's for a nice dinner! Fun day!

Seahawks 5K

April's run was down at The Landing in Renton. It was a super flat and easy course which would help to explain how I got my PR for a 5k! I finished 3.15m in 33:26, with an average pace of 10:36! I beat my last race by almost 40secs per mile. Laura made fun tutus for the run so maybe that made me feel lighter on my feet! I am def considering doing the Seattle Rock and Roll half marathon...why not? So I put my fancy stroller up for sale, an am ordering my Bob Jogger Duallie this weekend...if I can run small amounts pushing 100lbs, then I should be able to do a half no problem!! Uhhhh right?!

St. Patty Day Dash

Woohoo!! Greg and I just finished running the dash and it was great! We stayed pretty dry and the snow waited until we finished! They advertise it as a 5k, but my GPS clocked it as 3.7m!! Liars!! Anyhow! We all did great! Greg clocked in at 31:50 (8:36 miles) and I did 41:15 (11:08 miles). We went with the Underwoods and Neha! Great company and great memories! Excited for the next race!

My Mobile Little Man

Cohen started crawling!! He has been trying for a few weeks now, but today was a success!! I did have to prompt him with remote controls and cell phones... typical male!! But it's official!! He is on the move!! Check out the RAW footage!!

Sisterly Love

Alyssa's new thing is to run into Cohen's room as soon as he wakes up, jump in his crib, and shower him with good morning hugs and kisses! It's so sweet and I can hear him squeal from the living room. She loves her baby brother :-)

Binkie Fairy

Ahhh!!! The Binkie Fairy is coming, the Binkie Fairy is coming!! 

A few nights ago, Alyssa was in bed with about 8 binkies. She started bawling because she couldn't find her "blue" binkie. I knew it was time.

This morning before we left we got all of the binkies in the house put in the below fancy bowl. She was really excited about the prospects of what the Binkie Fairy may bring... one of her hopes was a Mickey Mouse binkie...Hmmm we may need to explain this whole Binkie Fairy thing a little better. But she would set the bowl on the table and then grab a binkie and put it in her mouth. So then I would tell her to leave all the binkies to ensure an even bigger present!!  She was a little annoyed I wouldn't let her take a  binkie with us, but got over it very quickly.

 After I loaded her up in the car, I raced back upstairs and threw all the binkies in the trash. Then I put out all her new cool presents. A pet shop toy, Mickey Mouse book, and some candy. Let's cross our fingers that she is excited for her new stuff and not too upset about losing her best friends!! 

Bath time!!

Bath time has become so much more fun now that they can take one together! Lys is such a big helper! She helps bathe and rinse Cohen, while Cohen just splashes around. Cohen is fearless in the water...but lys is much more cautious. She used to love the water, and she loves splashing around but does not...NOT...enjoy getting her hair washed. Our new favorite thing for bath time are color tablets. Today's bath?? Yellow...looks a lot like pee, we might need to rethink this color choice!

Jumpin on the Bloggin Bandwagon

Just getting my feet wet trying to figure out this whole "blogging" thing! Laura helped me get all set up so I guess all that is left is for me to start documenting my life as a mom of two crazies and a wife to a third crazy! Stay-tuned for pics and posts :-)
