Surprise 40th paty

So - I was VERY brave and threw a surprise 40th bday party for my husband! I will NEVER do this again!! It was SOOO hard keeping it a secret!That was the hardest party of it all!!!

I ordered cupcake-cakes and thought they turned out AWESOME!!! I went with the theme "Old Guy Rule."

 This is him at the party. He was VERY surprised!

 This is what I felt like by "party" day!

 Here's a few of us in the driveway waiting for him to get home......

 Me and my two girl....Riann and DeeDra!

 Fun times.....And....one of my favorite things were the koozies I had ordered for the party......They turned out AWESOME and the company was great to work with!



On our way to Disney World - we stopped at the beach! We went ALL the way to Florida - so we HAD to go see a beach, right?!

Cory, Hunter and Coby walking down to the beach!

 This picture cracks me up!!! Look in the background! Yes....I got butt shots of little girls in bikini's!

 Coby a little anxious about going into the ocean.

 LOVE how beautiful the beach/ocean is.

 Yes....my toes in the sand!

 Coby would only let us bury him up to his knees!

I am SOOO ready to go back!!!! Next year.....can't wait!

We Just Got Back from Disney World!

We just got back from Disney World! It was AWESOME! This was my first trip there and I loved EVERY minute of it!!

 Coby and Daddy

 Coby and Hunter

Coby and a storm trooper! We were able to go on STAR WARS weekend! Coby is a STAR WARS fanatic - so he was in HEAVEN!!!
It was the best vacation by far!!!

Lake fun on Memorial Day weekend

Just a few random pics of some lake fun this past weekened.

Love love love going to the lake! Such FUN times!!!

Mother's Day quilt

Finally!! The BIG mother's day project is complete!!! It only took me a couple months and it was fun! I hope my mom LOVES it!!! It DOES have it's flaws, but I'm not perfect!!

Now....to go finish the little projects! Shheezz!!

Another Riding Weekend (Not a bad thing!)

 Busy weekend again. And we went to an AWESOME dirt bike track on Saturday! Silly me - this is the ONLY pic I got of Coby!  Thank goodness we haven't let him take his dirt bike to a track yet - it just makes me TOO nervous!

 Hunter, however, WANTED to take his dirt bike! He did pretty good! No crashes - that's always a plus!

 Should I be concerned that my husband STILL does this? I mean really? Can you see him, up in those trees? He makes me a nervous wreck!

Yep.....he's still got it! Just needs to not jump SO high! I mean come on...it HAS to be just as fun with both tires on the ground! Right?!

Running? Runner? To Run? Or Not To Run?

I've been running - does that make me a runner? Really? Let me explain: I did the "couch to 5k" last spring...and enjoyed it, and then once I hit week 8, I sort of fell off that ban waggon.
Then, this past January - I decided I wanted to be a runner again. I felt so much more energized, and just generally felt better, when I ran. So - we went on the treadmill hunt and got one. When the weather is nice enough and I am able too (depending on kids) I run outside, otherwise I run in the house on the treadmill. I started back on the "couch to 5k" now called "ease into 5k." Now I am on week 7! Yes, I said 7! I've been STUCK on week 7 for about 2 months! I run 3 days a week and zumba once a week. I Don't understand what the big hurrdle is to run ONE more minute....or another 1/4 of a mile! I don't get it!
So - does this make me a runner? Or just a wanna-be-runner?
I COULD finish a 5k right now - even though I would hate most of it - I could do it! But, why can't I seem to give myself that little PUSH that I need?
