On Your Mark.....

I and my sister Lucretia signed up to run -(speed walk) a 5k for the Rex Lee Run. I did this with Ty back in 2006 and it was fun. It's only a couple of weeks away so I'm going to be waking up in the o'dark early hours to go to the gym and train. It's only 3.1 miles but it's been a long time for me. Wish me luck.

Fun Weekend, Scary Night

So this last weekend my bestest friend, Kirsten, and her boyfriend, Dusty, came down to visit us! It was a lot of fun to have them down here. They got me to go to Cabella's (for the first time) and it was really cool. They had A LOT of cool displays and Dylan absolutely LOVED the aquarium that they had. It was one store that you can go in and not necessarily buy anything but have a great time! :) Other then that we hung out, talked, and played games!

Then last night after our company had left - I went to do my appointments. I was just on my way home when I got a call from Ty wondering if I was ok. I was a little confused - but he said that he was just watching TV when there was a big bang and then the house shoock like there was a earthquake. Freaked him out and our whole side of town. Turned out that a steel pipe plant had an explosion. The plant is about 2 miles away from our house - and people were feeling the shaking up to a 10 mile radius around it (if that tells you how big of a boom it was). Thank goodness - only a couple of people got hurt in the explosion - all night we heard life flight going over our house!

Other then that it is starting to warm up outside (yeah!) And Dylan now has 6 teeth! He's going up so fast. If I can get him to show his teeth I will take a pic and post it soon!

Beagle's Rock

I found this today and it made me smile! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080213/ap_on_re_us/dog_show
Here's to Timber's Family (p.s. Speaking of family - his girlfriend is due to have the puppies next week - I'll post picture's as soon as we see the pups!)

Matchbox 20

It's offical - March 6th I'm going to their concert! I am so excited!!!! Ty and I decided that instead of trying to get the perfect gift for each other we would just wait a couple of weeks and go to the concert as our gift to each other. I LOVE Rob Thomas! Hopefully he does some of his own music! .........I'm excited! ;o)

Baby's 1st Valentine!

So I thought it would be cute to send a pic of Dylan out with his Valentine's to ALL his Grandma's/Great Grandma. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The boy does not like to pose AT ALL - and with no help from the other parental unit - this is what I got! This is Dylan more interested in what his Dad is doing
Trying to attack the camera
Ignoring mom and her many efforts to get a smile
Trying to make the same sounds that Mom is making.
Finally in defeat - this is the picture I sent out - showing his true personality!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S

Baby oh Baby

Dylan is just growing up too fast I tell you. He isn't crawling yet (cause he rolls a lot faster then he could ever crawl) BUT he is trying to pull himself up on everything he can get his hands on! This morning I walked in his room to find him trying to pull himself up on the side of his crib. Heart attack I tell you!

In other news - we are all sick again. I tell you I am ready just to be healthy. I have a sinus infection, sore throat, cough. Ty has a sore throat, and Dylan has been coughing and has started to throw up - so LOTS OF FUN!

Other then that we have just been hanging out trying to make sure we don't get barried in all the snow that we have gotten down here. One guy I talked to says that this is the worst winter he can remember and he's lived here for 11 years.

To help so I don't get cabin fever I've been trying to go to the gym more. They have a daycare there and Dylan LOVES it. But now that every muscle in my body is acheing I think I might have to find another hobby for my off days......any suggestions you amazing mom's I call friends!?!
