My First Race!

This weekend I completed my first 5K Race for the Pink Door, a charity for women with cancer. I have been wanting to do a race for a while now, so I finally took the initiative and signed up. It was such a fun time! Brandon came with me and ran too, and of course got 11th place without even trying :) I finished at 33 min. 22 sec.. I was so happy that I didn't have to stop and walk, which is what I always have to do. I felt so great to cross the finish line with my husband there waiting for me. Yea!!

In honor of the Rodeo

One of Tyler's favorite things is the music cards that you can buy at hallmark that play music when you open them. My grandmother sent him one for Halloween and we still are listening to the Ghostbusters song daily. So, I decided to add to the repitoire some new music cards, and added some country for the rodeo this month. It is funny watching him dance to them. He has it figured out how to make them start and stop. So funny....

Great weekend

We had a really nice weekend recently. We were going to head to the rodeo on Saturday, but it turned out that we had to drive down to Clearlake to turn in Brandon's car, so we ended up going to Kemah instead. It was such a great day, beautiful sun and perfect weather. We ate our first crawfish ofthe season and it was really yummy. Tyler had so much fun being with all the people and wandering around the boardwalk. He fell asleep on the way home, thankfully since he hasn't been napping to well these days. Finally got a shot of his two front teeth that are front and center too.





Then on Sunday, we decided to head down to the rodeo afterall. Tyler saw all the animals and seemed to like watching them. It was super crowded so I know he was really distracted, but we had a great time.

I was so exhausted when we got home on Sunday, I had to lay down a bit. Then Brandon decided to do work on our patio out back, which kept him busy most of the night. I'll post pictures when he's finished, hopefully before Tyler's first brithday, it is turning out very nice.

This weekend should be fun too. Brandon's parents will be here, as well as my mom who will be here for the weekend and the following week. She will be staying with us since my Dad is already up in PA for the move. Long story. Exciting to have a litle help around here, and Tyler misses his Grandparents too!

The Bug Bites

This weekend we got some photos taken by Studio Bloom photography here in Pearland. The photographer does lots of outside photos and is very talented, http://www.studiobloomphoto.com/blog/. I am super excited to see her "sneak peek" on her blog in a few days, then the photos in a few weeks. I think everything went pretty well, except for the ants!! We were getting our family shots up on a grassy hill and Tyler was crawling around while she was getting shots of him, then he put his hand directly into an ant pile. He got about 20-30 bites, but he didn't cry at all. He did great, and I am super proud of him. I'll post the pictures when she finishes them, but here is a picture of the ant bites.





Afterwards we went to a friend of mine sons 1st birthday party. Tyler had a blast and was playing right along with the other kids. Super cute!
