Reagan’s art from TC-

Giving and receiving love from Dixie…

Celebrating Aunt Mona’s birthday-

Watching the city’s fireworks from Mona’s back porch (an annual tradition)! It is usually around July 4th, but this year it was postponed because of weather until a few weeks later.

Emmy told me that she colored a “tat”.

Writing sight words-

Papaw Meredith spent some days in the hospital, but kept a good spirit about him. We thank God for his healing.

Do you ever see angels drawing hearts in your driveway? I do!

Another Thursday zoo trip for Emmy and I- The otters are my favorite exhibit at the zoo. I love how they interact with the kids. As anyone can see, we love the photo opps at the zoo!

Peeking in Reagan’s class-

Snuggles-

Walking the dog-

I sampled Shakeology, but wasn’t really a fan. It is supposed to be one of the best shake mixes as far as nutrition goes, though!

Pancakes for lunch!

Dude wore 8 shirts for homeschool!

Learning about posessive nouns- (Dixie loved that lesson.)

“Watch out, Mom! I’m about to get my swagger on!” – Reagan

Rea brought a praying mantis to school-

Here’s Emmy enjoying a Thursday morning nap in the car while we’re in Knoxville. Don’t be deceived, though! We have lots of fun one-on-one time on Thursdays.

Lunch at PF Chang’s

Chuck E Cheese & Puppy Zone

Dinner at Wasabi’s- finding other uses for chopsticks.

Creepy Max-

Hide-and-go-seek fail-

On our way to church-

“The Max Store (story)” by Reagan

Home school at the park-

Writing spelling words on ipad-

Max glued his blocks together. I guess you could say this is good problem-solving skills?

Reagan busting down the hallway after a day of school at Thursday Connection-

Reagan got to help with a commercial for a local walk in clinic.

Grocery shopping with Spiderman-

Rea took a frog to Thursday Connection to show, too!

Max glued his artwork to the wall in his room.

Finally seeing some muscle after working so hard!!!

We found the perfect bike for Mr. Giggles (Uncle Jared)!

Nothing like being squished between two papaws…

I ran my first 10K. My goal was to run it in an hour so I was very close to accomplishing it!

Happy 3-0 to me!

Turning 30 passed quickly leaving me feeling an array of mixed emotions. Beside feeling old, one of the best things that came out of it was evaluating my health and self care. I realized that it was time for me to be a healthier person. After living in a whirlwind and having babies back-to-back-to-back, I wanted to take back my body! ha So here I am commemorating my #30.

I decided to get started with an app/running program called Couch to 5k. It’s an 8 week program that helps you go from an inactive lifestyle to being able to complete running 3 miles. I began shortly after that to use the My Fitness Pal app to start tracking my calorie intake. This alone helped me learn better portion control when eating and how to make better eating choices.

Dixie became my running partner.

I began to start buy less processed foods and more fruits and veggies!

I registered my mom and myself to run the Disney Princess half marathon in Feb. 2014. Surely a trip to Disney World would motivate me to do this!! And why not? What fun!

As I began to build up my mileage, Dixie started getting tired by the 3rd mile. Luckily, by then, I was able to start running with my mom and Aunt Mona.

With an running routine and calorie counting in place, I started to see results. That is when I started to feel really motivated!

After I finished my C25K program, I started a Sub 60 10K training program (which I am still doing). I also joined a local gym and began working with a trainer.
