life

i probably really need to combine both of my blogs.... or just stick to one... i don't know. i have been really focused on my health journey lately that i've been posting there a little more recently.  plus, there really hasn't been much going on in our lives recently.

this past weekend I was supposed to run the Berry College 5k - it got cancelled. We had some HELLA rain that day - it kept getting pushed back because of thunder/lighting until they just decided to cancel it completely.  i was super excited to get back into running - the last 5k i did was this same race - 4 years ago! oh well... aiden was pretty disappointed - i guess he was excited to see me run. he'll get another chance this weekend - i'm doing Color Me Rad in chattanooga - my team is from work "Live in Color" it isn't a timed race, which is okay. it should be a LOT of fun! since it is easter weekend, we are wearing white with various color shorts and bunny ears/tails!! :)

aiden has an egg hunt at school tomorrow. i HAVE to remember his easter basket! i HAVE to remember his easter basket! I HAVE TO REMEMBER HIS EASTER BASKET! (yes, last year i was that mom that didn't bring her child's easter basket...) 

other than that.... there really isn't anything going on in our little life... aiden goes to school - adam and i work - i go to the gym - we have as much family time as we can...

it's not perfect - but it's our life - and i love it!

Yo ho ho! Captain Aiden's 3rd Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU... SOMEONE WAS EMBARRASSED 

We had some other activities that didn't go quite as planned - but it's all good. We had a treasure hunt with our hook hands and a hook ring toss - the kids just wanted to play with the hooks :) We had a lot of fun. It was a little chilly when the wind blew - but not too horrible and the kids wanted to be outside the whole time! I think it went well.  Aiden was exhausted afterwards :)

ARGH MATEYS

back to school/work

today both aiden and i went back to school and work... it was tough dropping aiden off after him being off all last week. he wanted to go to school - but didn't at the same time.  

i went to work - and tried to make a dent in all that piled up while i was gone...

being off with aiden last week REALLY made me want to be a stay at home mom with him even more... ugh! if only... 

aiden will be 3 on wednesday - i can't believe he is so old! we are having his birthday party this saturday - it's pirate themed!

i'm very excited for this - aiden is finally understanding all this birthday stuff! it should be a fun time!
