My First 5K Race

Today I ran my first 5K. For a couple of years now I have had a goal to run one. I started training last year and then I got pregnant. So, as soon as I could exercise after having Garrett I started training. It has been really rewarding. I ran the City of Monroe Earth Day 5K.

This is before the race. Taylor was so excited about me racing. I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure what to expect.

Finally made it to the finish line. I was actually feeling pretty good right here. I ran the race in

31 minutes (that's good for me!) I plan to do some more!!

Spring Break

I am currently on Spring Break and loving it. I now am counting down until Summer vacation! Our last couple of weeks have been very busy! Lance spent two weeks at Ft. Bragg and Grandma Dixon came down the help out with the kids. She was a lot of help! Lance really enjoyed his time at Bragg and the military is right where he belongs :) I actually am accepting it well and excited about what God has for our future!

We spent Easter in WV and Taylor enjoyed hunting eggs.

Taylor counting how many eggs she had found.

Taylor loves her Bass Pro Shop pink hat!

Garrett's First Easter!

Garrett will be 5 months old on April 9th! I can't believe how fast it has gone. It goes by too fast. He has started on baby food and loves it all so far! He is such a good and content baby. He coos and laughs all the time and just enjoys being around all of us! He has done a great job sleeping through the night. He has been sleeping through the night since January and now sleeps about 9-12 hours a night.

Garrett is doing a great job sitting in his saucer. His favorite thing is to chew on this toy. I am waiting for a tooth to appear any day.

Garrett loves his thumb.

Lance is busy with the military, being an awesome daddy, and school work. He has worked so hard for the last year and is half way done. He spends many hours reading!
