Color Vibe & Bulldog Dash

 

 A few months before I had Charley I signed up for the Color Vibe in Gulfport knowing I would only have about 4 weeks to train after my 6 week check up. Not long after Charley was born I found out the Bulldog Dash was also the same day as the Color Vibe. Two races in one day--- I got this!!! Once I got the all clear, I strapped Rivers and Charley in the double stroller and we got down to business. 

My best friend Hailey and her two youngest came with us. For not running in over a year, we both did fantastic!!

A few days before the races we went running without the strollers and ran the 5k route for the Bulldog Dash!! Go us!!

 

We took Konner and Olivia along with us to the Color Vibe.

They had a blast. Konner got cranky and tired towards the end but after it was over he perked up quick when he got a Frisbee.

 

 

This was me after the first color!

 

As you can see, Konner was not thrilled after the race. He was covered in color and when he took a bath that night the water turned blue after rinsing his hair out.

 

 

 

He did win 3rd place at the Bulldog Dash 1/4 mile Fun run for the kids--- in his crocs!!

 

 

And me and my running partner!!

So proud of us!!

 

Disney here we come!!!

Boys In Black

Konner had a choice whether to play football or soccer this year. He has been saying for a few months that he wanted to play football once it started. Of course, myself and Dan tried to talk him out of it and to choose soccer, but he had his mind set and there was no changing it. I prayed about it and the Lord gave me a peace about it and I was okay with him playing. Come football registration day, he still wanted to play despite all of our efforts to change his mind. We were headed out the door, literally, and he changed his mind and wanted to play soccer!!

Thank you, Jesus!!!

 

 

He is constantly messing with his hair.

 

We have a good team of boys.

 

Most of the time Konner just jumps around, but I have caught him with the ball a few times.

And he has even made a few goals.

 

 

He was excited that Dan helps coaches.

Homecoming

Some day I am good about blogging on time... others, not so much.

 

Last week was homecoming week.

Thursday I took the boys to the parade.

 

 

waiting...

 

and waiting.... Olivia's face is priceless

 

 

and must a little more waiting.

 

 

The ''triplets"

 

 

 

Rivers saw the Firedog.

 

 

"Throw me something, Mister!!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who Dat!!

Yesterday we went to New Orleans and saw the Saints play.

 

 

The game didn't start til 7pm, so we walked around before hand.

The dude in the car was all decked out. He even had a gold mask on.

 

It was very windy. We were glad, because it was hot.

 

YAY!!! Konner saw ''bad Spider Man and good Spider Man." I was so happy! Maybe even more than he was.

 

 

There is Drew Brees

 

And of course POPCORN!!!

 

We didn't stay the whole game. Dan wasn't feeling well all day and had a couple not so great moments at some garbage cans. Konner even asked, "Where is Dad? Oh.. there is he.. back in the garbage." I laughed!  But he is feeling better today getting ready for Hurricane Isaac. =[

If y'all are in the projected path. Stay safe!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bulldog Dash

The 2nd Annual Bulldog Dash was this morning.

This year the proceeds go to start a Backpack Buddies in Vancelave.

Dan ran this year.

Myself and Aimie.. I ain't looking pretty.

Rivers after the race

Dan and Rivers

 

Me and Rivers

And Rivers enjoyed the bouncy houses.

Konner stayed with my parents while we ran.

I didn't run the whole route. I skipped about 1/4 mile. But I did run 2 miles straight and then walked a lil while and started running again until I met up with Dan and I turned and went with him.

I missed all my buddies from the 1st Annual Bulldog Dash but they were there in spirit and they cheered me on. I love you girls!!

 

Now time for a nap!!

Bowling Playdate

 

 

 

That room needs another coat of paint. And behind the furniture needs its first coat. Ha! But here I am blogging again about our day while Konner rest watching tv and Rivers takes a nap. One day I am going to print these blog posts so I can have them for when the boys grow up and they can read them and we can laugh about the funny times, cry about the sad times and just remember their childhood.

Anywho...

Today we went bowling with some great friends. We ate at Chic-Fil-A first while we waited for the bowling alley to open. I forgot that Cow Appreciation Day is tomorrow. You dress up as a cow and get a free meal!! Last year we had such a good time!!

 

The kids had such a great time.

Olivia Grace McArdle and Olivia Grace Barton won!!

These girls are two in the same!

 

That's Konner and Asher.

 

All the youngins!

Konner was cracking everyone up striking his pose.

He is his mother's child. When I bowl, I do the same thing. Not the same pose, but I do hold my pose. I do the whole right leg kicked back with my arm straight forward. Yeah thats me. I feel as though it helps.

And this little one wanted to bowl too.

 

We had a few ''oopsies'' too. Jackson's ball didn't quite go down the lane like it was suppose too.

He ice skated on the way back up the lane.

And this ball was coming up the lane instead of down the lane towards the pins.

Bowling sure wore us momma's out! Ha! It wore me out anyway and I didn't even bowl.

But I know the kids had a blast and we will definitely be going back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moss Point Baseball

For those of you who do not know, Dan grew up in Escatawpa/Moss Point.

He played ball for Moss Point High School and from what I hear was pretty good.

"Fast white kid" is what they called him. Or something like that. Anyway, this past weekend they had their 1st Annual Alumni game. The alumni played the current players and raised money for the booster club. They didn't start off too good, but they did come back. They would have won if the field umpire would have been able to see ;]

I think the final score was 9-6

Dan had a collision on 3rd base and could barely move Sunday.

I am pretty sure most of the alumni couldn't move Sunday.

Here are a few pics:

 

Happy Anniversary!!

Today we celebrate 7 years of marriage.

Wednesday late afternoon we decided, on a whim, to go to Florida and watch FSU play in the regionals. We also got to see MSU, Samford, and UAB.

Woo hoo our FSU made it to South Regionals.

We watched two games Friday and two games Saturday.

It was way hot during the day but nice at the night games.

 

 

Dan was so giddy the whole trip. It was a dream come true for him.

We had a great time but couldn't wait to get home to our boys, who missed us just as much as we missed them.

I love you, baby!!

''For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'.. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.''

 

 

Matthew 19:5-6

Soccer game on a glorious day

What a GORGEOUS morning it was to have a soccer game!! 

Don't you just LOVE this fall weather?

This household is definitely ready for it.

Konner did great today!!

He was going for the ball and kicking it so hard.

We kept yelling and yelling!!

I believe he made 2 or 3 goals.

This is right before Konner scored a goal.

And #3 on the other team was so good too!! 

Him and Konner kept going at it.

They switch players every 6 minutes and this was one of a few breaks he had.

I just LOVE that Rivers put his arm around his big brother.

Makes my heart smile SO big =]

Rivers was checking out Dan's beard. He wasn't so sure.

Look at my boy go!!

His team mate threw the ball in to play and hit Konner right in the forehead.

I started laughing and Dan told me to hush. Too bad I didn't it on camera.

He did not let up.

Every once in a while he would grab his chest and breathe hard.

Rivers wanted to play too.

I love these days I get to spend with my boys.
