I had to take a couple quick pics of Parks and Marlee on our last ride with both of them facing backwards. Parks got a new forward-facing seat. He likes it so far. :)
I will post the new seat soon. :)

Do the Hokey Pokey and Turn Yourself Around
Our big boy has officially TURNED AROUND!
I had to take a couple quick pics of Parks and Marlee on our last ride with both of them facing backwards. Parks got a new forward-facing seat. He likes it so far. :)

Goose Egg
Marlee was in such a great mood on Saturday night. We were playing in the play room, and she walked into the kitchen to get a toy...and slipped. She landed on her head and it swelled SO FAST. It scared me because it was a first for me. The swelling went away fast and she was fine, but I hate seeing my baby hurt.
It's hard to see how far it poked out in the pictures...

Inman Elementary 5K
This past Saturday, Mikey and I joined Kim and Corey for the "Inman Elementary 5K Race" in Fayetteville. Corey found the race online, and since Kim and I have been walking/running so much, we all thought it would be fun. We were right! It was a trail run on some old farm land, with lots of bumps and hills and a little pond (reminded me of the Hunger Games).
The race started at 8am, so we all planned to get there around 7:30. Early morning for me!! Mikey helped me WAKE UP by driving quite fast on the way there. Got my blood flowing!
Kim and I ran about 4 miles earlier that week, and our mile pace was, sadly, right around 10 minutes per mile. I was bummed, because I was certain we were running faster than that. Anyway, our goal was to keep our pace under 10 minutes per mile. As we passed the first mile marker, we were at 8:20. Yikes! It must have been the adrenaline. Kim said to me "wow, we are going so fast" and she THINKS I replied "no, no, I'm feeling great"....but I didn't say that. She must have been hearing a mockingjay, because I was dying so no way I would've said that. ;) haha
Anyway, we finished in 27:25 (I think) and we were all in different age brackets. Kim was in the 25-29 and I was in the 30-34 so we each won a little water bottle. Corey killed it too...he's way fast, and of course he won his age group too. Mikey really impressed me by getting a great time after not running in over a month!
Here's a couple iPhone pics after the run...

Easter
This Easter was a wonderful day. We started with going to church at 9:30. Parks and Marlee got to play with their friends in Waumba Land, while Mikey and I enjoyed an incredible, powerful, beautiful service and message. We went to Mikey's parents' house afterwards and ate some yummy brunch and the kids had their first Easter Egg Hunt!
After eating, the kids took a nap and then we went to my parents house to...you guessed it...eat some more. We sat on the porch and enjoyed the beautiful weather. I don't know exactly what it was, but it was a great day.
At one point, I actually thought about what the most joyful days of my life have been, and if I could relive one, which I would choose. It's not like it was crazy out-of-the-ordinary or anything, but everything just seemed to be in place. Happy day! Happy Easter!
