miles logged

This month I ran 91.44 miles. Tomorrow begins a new month and it is Saturday which means it is my long run day...9 miles.  It is going to be hard. I hope I don't die.

One Direction or Bust

Kate's best friend, Adria celebrated her birthday on Saturday. Adria was sent on a scavenger hunt to find her gift from her parent's. Little did Kate know that she was going to be surprised as well.  Both Adria and Kate were surprised with tickets to see One Direction in August. So, the weekend of Kate's birthday we will be taking a girl's trip down to Houston to see 1D.

Kate has talked about nothing else since Saturday night. She even wrote an essay titled "Our Trip"detailing what will happen that weekend. This is what she wrote:

We will pack up and get all our entertainment systems. Get in the car and begin our road trip. On our way we will giggle and squeal about it. We will plan out where and what we will do. When we get to the hotel we will freshen up and do our posters and SCREAM!!!  When we get to the concert we will look for "Niall security guards". We will also see how crazy the other fans are and see if they can beat our faness.  When the actual concert starts we will stand the whole time and video and take pics and get proof that we were there. We will also get t-shirts and souvenirs. I can't wait!!!!!!!! 1D

we've got a driver...almost

This boy is happy, happy, happy. He got his permit yesterday and is on his way to driving on his own.

cake pops, cake pops, and more cake pops

The young women in my ward made cake pops to earn money for girls camp.  We made almost 1200 cake pops.  It was insane. I think it is safe to say that we will NEVER do that again. It was fun and we did really well but it was A LOT of work.  Sooooo happy it is over!

"I am so hungry, I need to go play some soccer." - Braeden

Yep...makes sense to me.

unofficial snow day

It started snowing this morning around 6:45am. School is still in session and I had every intention of sending the kids to school. In fact, Kate and Braeden are both at school. But when I pulled out of the drive way to take Braeden and Josh to school we started slipping and sliding. After I dropped Braeden off I turned around and brought Joshua home. I am a wimp. I will be the first to admit that this Texan is horrible at driving in any type of winter weather. I figure better safe than sorry. Besides it isn't very often that it's just Josh and I at home alone together. Love it!
