No, I'm not pregnant. We have other big news. Jonathan was offered a job in Toledo, Ohio and we are moving. In three weeks! Yes. I'm still reeling from the news. This was nothing we sought out, so we know it's God's will and we have to follow His leading.<br />
<br />
Back in August Jonathan and I talked about reevaluating our lives and our priorities. We ended up listing our house for sale by owner thinking that if we could downsize we could get to a place where I could stay home with the kids which has always been my dream. About 3 days after we listed the house on Zillow Jonathan got a call out of the blue from a recruiter. When he googled the company he found that the company was located only 3 miles from my parents house. We decided that we couldn't not walk through that open door to see where it took us. It was like God was waiting for us to release our grip on our "safe" lives and putting our house on the market was just that release.<br />
<br />
The interviewing process took many weeks between the different interviews and then we had to find a weekend that we were able to get up to Toledo for him to do an in person interview. Through all of those weeks I just had this feeling that I knew that we were moving. I love Lexington (and so does Jonathan) and I really think I needed all of those weeks to wrap my head around the idea of leaving this place. I had so many songs and scripture versus, sermons and Jesus Calling's that just spoke to me where I was and I just had this knowledge that Lexington was no longer my home and that I needed to start taking mental pictures because these would no longer be my regular views. (I drive 2 miles to work each day past rolling hills with beautiful fences and cows. So pretty. If you drive most places around town and you see horses in a picturesque settings.) We both moved to Lexington in 1999 to attend school (not together. I went to Asbury and J went to UK.) so we have lived in Lexington for 15 years. All of our adult lives. Lexington is home to us. Jonathan has never lived outside of Kentucky. Northern Ohio will be a huge culture shock. And we may need a snow blower come wintertime... :)<br />
<br />
After the in person interview, Jonathan was told it would be a week before he heard anything back. The very next morning he got a call back from the recruiter notifying him that they were drawing up an offer package that he would receive it by the end of the week. We spent that entire week jumping at any noise our phones made. Waiting is nerve-wracking. That call could change our lives! And it did. I had asked God for a big neon flashing sign. I needed more than just an open door. I was being less open minded about picking up our lives and starting over so I really asked God for a way to know 100% that this was from Him and that we had to go. Well I had something specific in my mind and when the offer came through the offer was for the exact number that was in my head. It was one of those things where I told Jonathan that I guess we didn't need to discuss it. God made it evidently clear that we were to move and that this was the job for him.<br />
<br />
So here we are. We gave our notice at work this past Monday and have been telling our friends in person over this past week. My last day of work will be November 5th and Jonathan's will be November 7th (his birthday!). I'm trying not to stress out when I think about everything that needs to be done in the next three weeks before we start our lives in a new city. I'm really leaning on God to give me a peace about moving and leaving our friends. Right now that's the part that stings the most. But I keep remembering that God is providing this job and providing me a way to be a stay at home mom. He's given both of us our dream jobs. We just have to release our grip on our safe lives here and follow His leading.<br />
<br />
It's a bittersweet time. We're trusting that God will bring a buyer for our house so that we're not living in my parents house for any length of time:) Yes, our house is on the market with an agent as of today. And I'm trusting that God will help me not break down through all of our goodbyes. I'm thrilled to live near my parents and have my kids live near grand parents. I'm also excited to live near my extended family and have my kids be near cousins. And as I've been home a day and a half this week with sick kids, it has reminded me how wonderful it will be to be a stay at home mom so I don't feel like I'm letting work down when I need to stay home with a sick kid.<br />
<br />
God's timing is not our timing and his ways are not our ways. I would have never fathomed 6 months ago that I would be writing this blog post or that we would ever have the notion to move away from Lexington. But I'm thankful for Jonathan for leading our family in this venture by following where God has opened doors. Here we go...Abbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06600219165505579505noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168241466095326844.post-77338449145246754112014-09-23T21:04:00.001-04:002014-09-23T21:04:37.346-04:00Evans Orchard 2014Two weekends ago we met up with a few other families at Evans Orchard. It was the Apple Festival weekend which is always a good time. It was a chilly, overcast day so the crowds were low at least for the first hour. By lunchtime the place was packed! The parents didn't get much socializing time since the play area is so huge and the kids kept running from one thing to another. But the kids seemed to have a fun time. I tried to get some pictures when the kids slowed down enough that they weren't a blur:)<br />

After a little lunch, we headed out to the orchard with the Motsch family to let the kids pick some apples. So fun that we do this each year together. Crazy to think that we used to do this even before kids! My how times have changed!</div>

Last month the CATS basketball team was playing in a tournament so of course we had to support them by dressing Cayden in a full UK basketball uniform! He loved it! He thought he was BIG stuff!<br />

We were excited for football to start! Adalyn has a cheerleader outfit from last winter that still fit and Cayden has a football jersey from a hand-me-down bag of clothes from a friend. They wore them for our first game and I thought they looked so cute that I had to get a picture!<br />

The kids both got new running shoes since they had grown out of their old ones. They are actually the same shoes but in different colors. Cayden loved his shoes and started running laps in the house to show us how well they work. It was so cute! He was bursting with excitement!<br />

Adalyn starts soccer this weekend so Jonathan took her to buy some pink cleats. I'm pretty sure it was his most favorite thing he's ever bought her. Of course he also bought her a matching ball. Last month he found some pink shin guards at a consignment sale and they ended up matching the shoes perfectly. She also didn't have many sporty clothes so we got her a cute little Puma outfit. She is so excited about soccer! Jonathan dressed her all up and took her outside to practice so of course I had to get a picture. These kind of take my breath away since she looks way too old!<br />

I'm pretty sure he's secretly hoping that she takes to soccer so she can follow in his footsteps. Only time will tell!

Of course I forgot the big camera so we just got a couple pictures on our phones.<br />

It was drizzling all day but that actually helped hold off the crowds at the zoo on a holiday weekend. We were able to get a train ride before they closed it due to rain. Cayden loved the train ride. Or maybe I should call it a "choo choo" ride. He was a fan! (Even if he doesn't look like it in these pictures.)</div>

I belong to a local chapter of a running club called Moms Run This Town. We use a group facebook page and have gotten to know each other through the page, meeting up before/after local races and getting together with girls in our own neighborhoods for training runs. We have all different ages of women in our group and we all have different paces. I've gotten to become friends with some of the girls in the group and I've had fun at the different meet-ups.<br />
<br />
The running group does two virtual races a year. A virtual race is when you pay for a bib and medal but do the running on your own time. The club has each of the local chapters do the virtual race together. This race our leader decided we should do a trail hike instead of a road race. (Not my ideal but it ended up being a pretty day and a good way to meet more girls in the club.)<br />
<br />
When they released what our race medal would look like they also released a medal for a kids race. Our leader asked if we had interest in planning a kids race and we all decided that would be fun. The kids medals matched ours but were a bit smaller so the kids thought they were BIG stuff after the race!<br />
<br />
We rented out a shelter at a local park and did a sign up list for a potluck picnic. Our leader made up "swag bags" for the kids that included stickers, tatoos, bracelets and other fun stuff. Since we all have different ages of kids we did different heats of races. The first one was the heat Adalyn was in and they had a short run out and back on the running path. Adalyn did such a good job and was so serious about it all. Earlier that day she couldn't nap and she told me that she didn't want to run in the race because she hadn't had enough practice. She is her daddy's daughter!<br />
<br />
Even though Cayden wasn't registered to run the race, we let him wear a race number and he thought he was cool. Of course right when the running started, it started to rain. So frustrating when you've planned something like this. But the kids didn't seem phased and ran anyway.<br />

We are so proud of her! I sure hope this is the first of many race medals that will hang around her neck. Running is such a healthy sport so I really hope she has the love for it that her daddy and I have. She has already talked about the next time she will get to run in a race so I think she's ready to do it again!Abbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06600219165505579505noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168241466095326844.post-52956566006354594252014-09-02T21:07:00.000-04:002014-09-02T21:07:48.181-04:00Vacation Part 3 - St. Augustine EveningsSince we were staying at my brother's house, we were able to go to the grocery and eat most meals at his house. We grilled out with his family one night, ordered Chinese one night, and got pizza one night after the kids had not napped and Jonathan refused to leave the house with them. (They were seriously CRAZY that night!) So we ended up only going out to eat three times which was great on our wallets! And my brother helped us make awesome decisions about where to eat!<br />

Wednesday my brother's kids had activities going on so the four of us went to dinner in Jax Beach. We went to this fun seaside grill place. (I can't remember the actual name.) It was in the upstairs of a building and pretty much outside. It was kind of like eating in a screened in porch and all the tables were picnic tables. It was very laid back and a bit crazy that the food was made downstairs and the servers had to bring the food upstairs to the tables! The food was good and the bonus was that we happened to go there on kids eat free day!</div>

On Thursday we decided to go out to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Aunt-Kates-Restaurant/170555619645876?sk=timeline">Aunt Kate's Restaurant in St. Augustine</a>. It was on the river so we weren't on the ocean which was awesome because we had a beautiful sunset view during our dinner. This Fish Camp had a dock that we walked out on to get some family pictures while we were waiting for our dinner. This was my favorite atmosphere and food of the trip!</div>

My mom bought Adalyn this precious Mud Pie dress the week before we went on vacation and Adalyn thought she was so grown up wearing it. She was sure she was a teenager (and she had had girl time with the girls painting her finger and toe nails)! Of course I had to get some sibling pictures in the back yard before we left for dinner.</div>

On Friday evening we decided to head to Old St. Augustine and go to a touristy area. Everything is touristy in Old St. Augustine and finding a parking spot within a 2 mile radius of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/A1AAleWorks">A1A Ale House</a> was pretty difficult. Thankfully the guys dropped us off to put our names in but were gone forever finding parking and then walking back to the restaurant. While we were waiting on them the kids all sat down on the sidewalk and I had to grab a picture.<br />

We somehow scored outdoor dining at this restaurant. My brother didn't even know that they had outside tables so that was pretty cool. And even though it was hot and humid, the table had a fan over it and it was absolutely pleasant while we were eating. We had an cool view of the ocean and city life!<br />

Of course we walked out of our way to get ice cream and fudge from<a href="https://www.kilwins.com/staugustine1"> Kilwins</a>. I remembered it from last year (and the year before that.) It was well worth the walking and the calories! Between being up so late, spending time with the big girls, and then getting a whole cup of ice cream hours after bedtime, Adalyn was practically in heaven.</div>

It was hard to head back to pack up our bags and the car that night so we didn't. Ha! We decided we would pack up the car the next morning and head home leisurely instead of at the crack of dawn. It worked for us and the kids were pretty good in the car. We actually only had to make one or two stops outside of food stops which is pretty good since it was about 12 hours in the car. We had a wonderful week filled with many memories and I'm so glad to have these pictures to look back to. We don't go on many vacations or trips, so this is my week of the year that I look forward to all year! And just because I couldn't help myself I had to find a sibling picture from last year's trip...<br />

It was really nice to break up our 11+ hour trip into two 6ish hour trips. We went to St. Augustine to spend the week at my brother's house. He's always gracious to open his house to us so we can do a budget friendly vacation to Florida:) I always love the time spent with him and his kids too! We had zero plans for the week other than to go to the pool. We had nowhere to be and no worries! Jonathan and I were even able to run in my brother's neighborhood almost every morning we were there! The flat roads were awesome, but the humidity was insane!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, this is my brother's back yard. He has an amazing view. It's like being at a resort.</div>

Both of my kids love water, but Cayden was cracking us up because anytime he spotted water he would shout "WADDER!!!" So pretty much anytime he would look out the back windows of my brother's house he would get excited. I took him out on the lanai our first morning and he loved it and then decided he needed to go out closer to see the water better.</div>

Cayden preferred sitting in the sand looking at the water and yelling "WADDER!!" over actually being in the ocean. He was NOT a fan of being in the ocean at all.</div>

After our day (and I'm using the term "day" lightly since it was closer to 2 hours...) at the beach, we spent all of the rest of our vacation at the pool. Well, except for the day that I got both kids lotioned up, lunch made and in the cooler and got to the pool gate and the moment after Cayden yelled "WADDER!!" the lifeguard told us that the pool was closed for the day due to "contamination." So glad it wasn't my kid that pooped in the pool! But then our big plans of a day at the pool were shattered. Thankfully the kids took it ok and we went back to the house and just hung out.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
The neighborhood pool is awesome. Seriously. My kids' favorite part is the big water slide, which they are too short to ride without an adult. So Jonathan and I walked up those stairs more times than I can count during the week. Cayden would start asking for the slide before we were even at the bottom of the slide going down it. </div>

Our last day at the pool I was trying to push their naptime back so they could have extra time in the water. Cayden started asking for his paci so we tried to distract him by asking if he wanted another turn down the slide. He refused the slide which surprised us all. Jonathan took him over to a table and within moments this is what he looked like. Since he zonked out, Adalyn was able to spend a little extra time enjoying her last pool day.</div>

I've added so many pictures to this post that I will have to write another post to include all of our family pictures and dinners. We had such a wonderful vacation that it deserves three posts:)</div>

We got to their house around lunchtime on Friday, so we had the rest of the day Friday and all day Saturday to spend with them. Lindsy and I had planned some outside activities for the kids. We were going to go to the splash park after naps on Friday and spend all day Saturday at the neighborhood pool. Well, our plans were abruptly changed when the temps were so low that our kids needed pants and long sleeves on Saturday (we were headed to Florida so we didn't have any warm clothes packed!) and it was raining on and off. Bummer. But honestly, our kids didn't need plans. They just enjoyed playing together. And of course Lindsy was Martha Stewart hostess and had back up activities like homemade play-doh for the kids.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday evening the rain subsided and we took the kid to Dollar Cone where the cones were literally $1. How awesome is that? The kids enjoyed their ice cream:)</div>

Saturday was my birthday and it was so fun to spend it being on vacation with our friends! Lindsy is still running (she's in her 3rd trimester) because she is a rock-star! And she always talks about running on the Charlotte Greenways so we decided to do a run together on a Greenway. I loved the Greenway and so wish we had them here in Lexington! Running on a paved, tree covered trail for miles was perfect. I would take that any day over running in a neighborhood with cars/traffic around. And they have a huge running community there so the Greenway was full of runners. Great atmosphere! While Lindsy and I did a 4 mile run, Jonathan took the double jogger and pushed the boys for a longer run. We left the three girls home with Tim and they had fun enjoying the playset before the rain started. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bonus was that the beginning/end of the Greenway we went to had a Starbucks across the street! Of course we had to head there after our run to drink the calories we had just burned! And then we went to Great Harvest to get yummy muffins. What a fun way to start my birthday!</div>

This was such a treat for us! I couldn't tell you the last time we went on a double date. We had so much fun!</span></div>

We had a wonderful time with the Taylors and it was hard to say our goodbyes on Sunday morning as we headed to Florida. It's hard to put into words how special they are to our family. I am so glad we're able to see each other every few months for one reason or another. We can always pick up where we left off and our kids do the same. Our kids talk about their kids all the time. Cayden even talks about how Grey goes poop in his potty (TMI?) since he witnessed it while we were there. Too bad he doesn't use that to encourage himself to do the same... Adalyn always talks about Kennedy and Avery. Always! I look forward to our next trip to Charlotte and can't believe there will be another Taylor next time we see them!</div>

She recommended taking them at Keeneland and that was an awesome idea. I'm happy with how they turned out. I need to decide on a family picture to print on a canvas for our wall. I'm having a hard time choosing which one I like best! I really love the sibling pictures!<br />

I just love how Meghan can capture all of our personalities in our pictures. I love capturing this moment in time knowing my kids will never be this little again. Sniff.

I decided to combine a family session with his 2 year session so we could get some sibling and family pictures on the same day. (Post to come...) We decided to do the family pictures first and he was so cooperative and smiley for the family pictures. After the first two pictures of his 2 year session, he just decided that he was over the whole picture thing. Oh, the best laid plans... Anyway, we finally were able to bribe him with cookies and got some super sweet pictures!<br />
<br />
I think Meghan did a great job capturing his personality, but I'm having a hard time accepting how old he looks in these pictures!<br />

We always call Cayden our Cookie Monster because he can sniff out a cookie from a mile away. But I didn't want to do a Sesame Street theme so I found the cutest party pack on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/168147319/diy-cookie-monster-inspired-cookies-and">Etsy</a>. The party pack had so much stuff in it and the seller was awesome. I will definitely use her again! I love how it all came together! Be prepared for picture overload:)<br />

I went outside of my comfort zone and had a messy activity for the kids. It actually turned out well and the kids seemed to like it. And it turned out to not be all that messy. I rolled out fun wrapping paper on the table so after everyone was finished with their cookies, we were able to just roll up the mess and throw it away. Perfect!</div>

Aren't these cookies amazing? I saw my cousin share a facebook page of a friend of hers who makes cookies. I checked it out and absolutely loved the cookies that <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thesweetestlittlecookieshoppe">Ashley</a> makes. I'm pretty excited that my cookies are her business profile pic right now:) She was just starting her business and I saw on facebook last week that she's already booked through November! (Good thing I reserved her already for Adalyn's party!) Aren't these amazing? I gave her the party theme and she sent me a pic of what she could do and she didn't disappoint!</div>

I bought a case of Starbucks Frappuccino's from Sams and emptied them into a pitcher and washed the little bottles so that the kids could use them for their milk. They were super cute! After taking the stickers off, I was going to use Goo Gone to take the adhesive off before I put my little paper wrappers on, but then I decided to use the adhesive left on the bottles to stick my wrappers to. It worked!</div>

We are blessed! I couldn't ask for a sweeter little guy! Each day his personality shines brighter and it's so much fun to see! Every age he hits I want him to stay that age forever. But then the next stage turns into my favorite age! I just love him so so much!</div>

I can't believe my baby is already 2. It seems like yesterday that he was wearing preemie sized clothes. He is such a sweet boy and has such a fun little personality. I can't imagine our family without him in it! He brings us such joy.<br />
<br />
The day before his birthday he took some cookies to the sitter's house to share with his friends. Of course I had to take some pictures of him holding his birthday treats. He didn't want to hand them back to me. I'm pretty sure he thought he was going to eat cookies for breakfast.<br />

Of course he shot down the cookie monster shirt that I was planning on having him wear that day because he needed to wear "choo-choo". He looks way too old in this picture!</div>

His sitter was headed out of town on vacation and was unable to come to his party so they had a little party at daycare for him and he opened this awesome present from her. Of course she knows exactly what he likes! He got a boy dress up costume with a tool box full of tools. A HIT!</div>

The morning of the 4th, Jonathan and I woke up super early (like earlier than a work day!) to go run a race in downtown. It was a 10K which is longer than my usual races, which I was a bit worried about. I wasn't thrilled to wake up early and run it, but I'm glad I did it. Our neighbor owns a business and pays our entry fee to run some of the races downtown as long as we wear his company shirts as advertising. So we got to run the race for free. It was PERFECT weather for a July race and there were tons of people along the course cheering us on. There was even an old rag time band at the turnaround. It was so patriotic! And yes, I was passed by 4 firefighters in full gear with training tanks on! When the firefighters would run past the crowd everyone would erupt with cheers for them. It was awesome!<br />

Jonathan finished in 41:02 which is a 6:37 pace (amazing!) and I finished in 1:03. I was hoping for under an hour, but 1:03 is still about a 10:00 pace so it was ok. Would you believe that it was such a huge race that Jonathan's finish time didn't get him any medals? He's not used to walking away from races without a medal. Ha! He was 118 out of 2,842 and 15th in his age group. I was 1,799 and 126th out of 225 in my age group. </div>

I didn't have enough time to get to the meeting spot before the race to meet up with my running group, but my one of the girls in my group happened to walk past us as we were doing team pictures so we had to get a picture together. She was very patriotic:)</div>

After the race, we went back to the house, got some lunch and put the kids down for a nap. After naptime, we were off to Louisville to celebrate the 4th with Jonathan's extended family. His aunt and uncle always host an awesome party, rent water slide inflatables, smoke some yummy meat and shoot off some serious fireworks for our own personal show! One of Jonathan's cousin's friends came and she was into photography and took a bunch of candid pictures so I had to download them all from facebook:) Of course this mama totally forgot my camera at home, so all of my pictures were from my phone.<br />

The kids would jump with each of the firework "bangs" but they seemed to like the show. Cayden was talking with me and saying oooh and aaah. At one point I realized that he wasn't talking anymore and sure enough he was sound asleep with his hand on his face. Ha! (My kids were asking for their pjs and beds before it was even dark out.) I guess the busy day caught up to him!</div>

It was so nice to have an extended weekend to celebrate the 4th and the freedom that we enjoy living in America.</div>

We have never run this race before but I was excited to do it this year! The first mile of the race is on the back access road to the runway (and there was a bit of a surprise hill) and the last two miles are literally looping the back runway at the airport. FLAT! That must be what it's like to run a race in the north!<br />
<br />
I was so looking forward to running a flat race. The morning of the race we had a thick fog where we could barely see in front of our car on our way to the race. The nice part was that there wasn't any sun beating down on us, but the humidity was absolutely insane! They actually delayed the start of the race due to the fog with cars still trying to get in the parking lot. All of the planes at the airport had been delayed also and when they were cleared for takeoff it was fun because we got to watch one after another plane taxi and take off just a runway away! So cool for the kids to watch. Because the fog was still so thick, once the front wheels of the plane were off the ground we weren't able to see the rest of the plane take off. CRAZY!<br />
<br />
They had some small planes for us to see and touch so of course we had to get pictures near them!<br />

Jonathan was hoping for a PR because we heard that this is a favorite race for PR's. Unfortunately he woke up Thursday morning sick to his stomach and was still sick on Saturday. He pushed through it and ran a good race and finished in 20:11. He said he about puked running across the finish line but he held it together! He wasn't thrilled with his time, but seriously if I had a 20 minute finish time I'd be having a party for myself. So I'd say he did well:)<br />

I hadn't been able to train the week leading up to the race because of the heat/humidity and our schedule so I wasn't sure how I'd do. I ended up finishing in 28:44. Not a PR. Bummer. I wasn't able to take advantage of the flat terrain as I had hoped. Honestly when I was talking with the other girls that ran the race, we all said we were faked out since there wasn't sun, we kind of expected it to be less hot but the humidity was absolutely out of control and almost made things worse.<br />

The kids were pretty excited to spend time with them. Jonathan and my dad worked on breaking in his new Father's Day tools (working on building new pantry shelves!) and my mom and I enjoyed the kids playing outside in water (after she and I had an awesome clothes shopping trip.)<br />

We also had a race last weekend that my parents were able to watch the kids for so Jonathan could race sans stroller. That will have to be another post! We had a great weekend with my parents and were sad to see them go. As always.Abbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06600219165505579505noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168241466095326844.post-83867197365629252382014-06-18T21:18:00.000-04:002014-06-18T21:18:40.352-04:00My First Vox Box!So for a couple years, I've seen Jonathan receive random boxes of products to review. They were always men's products like shaving gel, deodorant, face wash, etc. so I never thought to ask if they had female products. I was reading <a href="http://murdocksmama.blogspot.com/">Abby's blog</a> a few months ago and she had gotten her first Vox Box and it looked so cool that I went and signed up for an Influenster account. I came home and told Jonathan about it and he told me that's what he's been receiving for years and asked why didn't I use his link to sign up so he'd get credit. Ha!<br />
<br />
There's lots more to<a href="http://www.influenster.com/profile"> Influenster </a>than their free product boxes so I clicked around and gave some product reviews until I was finally selected to receive my first Vox Box full of (free) products to try out and review! I was selected the TLC Vox Box for Mom's. I was pretty excited to open my box and see what was in it!<br />

<br />
The thing I was most excited about was the coupon for FREE Breyers Gelato Indulgences ($4.49-$5.99). I had just told Jonathan (after watching one of the many commercials for it) how much I wanted to try the Gelato. I got the Caramel flavor and oh my. It is quite delicious! The container is super small but it's so rich that you don't eat much per serving. Ok, now I want to go eat a few spoonfuls of it:)<br />
<br />
Neosporin Neo To Go ($4.97-$7.50). Of course in the couple weeks before receiving this box, Adalyn had a few pretty serious scrapes/cuts and had between one and three band-aids each day. We were using Neosporin on her cuts but when we got this box she had just healed up and thankfully we haven't had a need for the Neo to Go since then! I'm excited to try the spray since we usually use the regular ointment. I have it waiting on the kitchen counter because I figure we'll need it soon with how much the kids are playing outdoors.<br />
<br />
Ivory Bar Soap ($3.99 for a 10 pack). I grew up using Ivory Bar Soap so I am a fan. I'm happy to have this to keep in our guest bathroom shower! Ivory smells so fresh!<br />
<br />
Puffs to Go ($.49). I have horrible seasonal allergies. I am so over it! You can pretty much always find a Puffs to Go pack in my purse thanks to my allergies. There are certain things that I have to have specific brands and one of those things is Puffs. Don't go buying me Kleenex brand tissues. They are worthless. I only can use Puffs with Lotion!<br />
<br />
AVON Anew Reversalist Express Wrinkle Smoother ($30). I was excited to try this since I am self-conscious of the lines that are showing up around my eyes. (Thanks to my 30's and 2 kids!) Honestly I've only used this one day. The day I used it, every single time I looked in the mirror at work, it looked like I had raccoon eyes and like my eye make-up had melted down my face. I don't know if it's the creamy texture of the product or what the problem is. I plan to give it one more chance in case I was just having a bad make-up day that day. (Although I use all Mac products and never have issues with my eye make-up running.) I've been afraid to give it a second try just because I don't want to look like Alice Cooper at work again.<br />
<br />
Shell Fuel Rewards Card. Can I be honest? I opened my box and saw this card and I got so super excited that it was a free gas card. (Even $5 would have made my day!) But Jonathan looked closer at it and told me it was a rewards card. BOO! What a let down. I know using it allows you to earn free gas (like $.25/gallon off on your first fill up.) But we use Kroger gas with our Kroger points and the last time Jonathan filled up, he had $.50/gallon off. So we're not interested in using Shell when we're happy with Kroger.<br />
<br />
All in all, it was a fun box and I hope I get selected for future Vox Boxes!Abbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06600219165505579505noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168241466095326844.post-51361556625690873832014-06-16T21:26:00.001-04:002014-06-16T21:26:59.275-04:00Happy Father's DayHappy Father's Day to my amazing husband and my sweet daddy!

I tried to get a picture of my family in their coordinating clothes before church but I couldn't get a picture of everyone looking and smiling. They are cute anyway though:)<br />

It wasn't a relaxing Father's Day for Jonathan but that's the season of life we're in. We got to enjoy each other and the kids this weekend and that's what matters. I really appreciate what an amazing daddy Jonathan is to my babies.Abbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06600219165505579505noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168241466095326844.post-42816321240069244852014-06-11T21:25:00.000-04:002014-06-11T21:25:45.130-04:00Memorial Day - More PicturesI prematurely published my previous Memorial Day post.

Such is life these days... sigh. After we spent the day at the Zoo on Friday, we decided to just hang around my parents' house on Saturday and relax and let the kids play outside. They love having 100% of Nana and Papa's attention!<br />
<br />
My parents love working in their yard and their yard and gardens are beautiful so playing outside is a treat. We could only wish we had a yard half that amazing. (Ours is a steep hill in the back.) They of course had to spoil the kids with toys. They gave Adalyn a fun Princess bubble blower and Cayden a bubble blowing lawn mower. He was serious about it. Serious.<br />

My parents have a sweet family who lives next door. They have 3 boys ages 2, 4 and 6. The 4 year old and Adalyn hit it off. The mom let us know that Adalyn and Cayden were welcome to their swing set and tire swing any time. They LOVED it. The tire swing was hung from a super high limb so it was a smooth ride! During the weekend we spent a ton of time at this swing with Adalyn's new friends. The sweet little 4 year old boy left a picture of Adalyn and him riding the tire swing in my parent's mailbox the day after we left. He kept asking when we were coming back to visit. So sweet.<br />

After church on Sunday we spent the entire day at my aunt's pool and I didn't take my camera with us. Just believe me that we enjoyed the sun and water. And we learned that Adalyn has turned into even more of a fish than last summer! She loved jumping off the side and swimming all over the pool in her Puddle Jumper. She didn't want to leave!</div>

It's always so hard to visit my parents because each time we visit, it's harder to leave than the last! So glad we had an extended weekend to spend together. The kids were so sad to leave and so was I. I think we're ready for another visit:)</div>

My extended family always does a big breakfast cookout in a local park on Monday morning but other than that the weekend was completely open. We decided to spend Friday at the Zoo since we figured that it was a school day and there would be less people there. Unfortunately we didn't take into consideration all of the bazillion schools that would be taking field trips that day. Oh well. We still had a great time. We decided to rent a wagon this trip so we wouldn't have to travel with our big stroller and that was a really good decision!<br />

The zoo was opening two new exhibits that day (which added to the amount of people there): the flamingo exhibit and the penguin exhibit. We started at the polar bears and then let the kids ride on the big carousel. All of the animals were actual animals in Africa (since that's the part of the zoo we were in) and the carousel was huge and we had a super long ride! Neither had ever ridden on a carousel and they were both fans! Jonathan stayed back to take pictures.</div>

We went to check out all of the African animals next. It's pretty cool how they have this exhibit. All of the animals that would naturally be with each other in the wild are in the same exhibit: giraffes, zebras, ostriches and others. It's a very "natural" exhibit. The kids loved looking at the animals.</div>

Next we went to check out the elephants, hippos and rhinos. The hippos gave us a serious show. I've never seen them very active but they were in the water right next to the glass catching apples that the zoo keepers were throwing down to them. It was crazy to see right into their mouths! We also got to stand and watch the baby and mama elephant have their lunch. The baby elephant is so cute!</div>

We saw a lot of other animals that we didn't take pictures of - the chimps, monkeys and gorillas were a favorite since they seemed to be putting on shows for the viewers and were right up next to the glass. The last exhibit we stopped at was the penguins. There was a line to get in since it was the opening day for it. But the line moved pretty quickly so we didn't mind waiting. And it was well worth the wait. It was the Penguin Walk and we were seriously walking through their exhibit. I mean if we reached out we could have touched them! And between the ropes Adalyn was nose to nose with them. (They had a zoo employee standing guard so people wouldn't reach out and touch them.) They aren't afraid of humans so they just hung out staring back at us standing in sprinkler water. They also could dive into the water and after you left the main area of the exhibit you could watch through windows to see them swim underwater. Since Jonathan's favorite animal is a penguin this was a favorite exhibit!</div>

We had a full, fun day at the zoo and both kids were asleep on the way back to my parents' house. I know I'm biased since I grew up at this zoo (and had many of my birthday parties there too) but this zoo is seriously the nicest I have ever been to. Their exhibits are impressive and the kids enjoyed it so much. I loved how they would say hi and bye to each animal we came across. Even Cayden would talk to the animals like he thought they could understand him. So cute! Ok, so I guess it was proved and not just my bias since the weekend we went, the Toledo Zoo had just been named #1 in the country! Wow. We're lucky to have access to enjoy it whenever we're in town! Such fun memories with Nana and Papa. </div>

We always love races on that course because it's a closed course and it's so beautiful. Plus they serve a full lunch with homemade ice cream after the race! I knew a couple girls from my running group that would be running in the race and then I also ran in to a few of my MUMs girls at the race. So much fun to run in races where you know people and can cheer for them!<br />
<br />
My goal for this race was to get below 30 minutes since in December I had been able to run a 5k in under 30 minutes. (Still nowhere close to my pre-kid 5k time but oh well.) The girls in my running group had been talking on facebook and we realized that there were three of us wanting to run in under 30 so we thought we'd run together. Unfortunately we all got split up during the beginning / weaving of the race. Afterwards we all laughed because I had one girl in my view the entire time and another girl said she kept me in her view the entire race. So I guess we ended up running around the same pace but just not together. Oh well. I love running with a running partner but I've gotten used to it being a single sport. I compete with myself and stay in my head the entire time.<br />
<br />
The good news? I finished in under 30. The great news? I finished almost 2 minutes under my goal!! My official chip time was 28:05! I kind of couldn't believe it. We had uncharacteristically cool weather and I have a feeling that running in the cool weather helped my time. Either way I was pretty excited to get a post-kids PR!<br />
<br />
The race was over 500 people and of course Jonathan placed 1st in his age group! He's pretty awesome! The big guns came out for this race because they gave out cash prizes for the top three male/female runners. So the fact that J got 1st in his age group with the practically professional runners racing is pretty impressive!<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures from the race. (J's mom was kind enough to come in town to keep the kids so he could run without pushing them.)<br />

Pre-race. Yes it was frigid and I was bound and determined to not get my pants out so I used my Zensah sleeves to keep my legs warm. I looked a bit silly but oh well. They did the trick. I wasn't too cold or too hot.</div>

She has a bit of spit-fire to her and some days I think the 3's may never end. But just that fast, she turns around and says/does the sweetest or kindest thing to her brother or to Jonathan or myself. She has such a precious heart.<br />

Of course the kids woke up early (no sleeping in for this mama) and bombarded me with presents. They gave me a fun chevron purse and a couple necklaces and lip glosses. Fun girly stuff!<br />
<br />
We went to Chuy's for lunch which was a treat. (We never actually go to sit down restaurants. We always do the order-at-the-counter places.) The kids were really good while we were there too! It was a Mother's Day miracle!<br />
<br />
I was able to relax in the afternoon and Jonathan even treated me to folding the kids' laundry! :) Adalyn is pretty into holidays and even told me Happy Mother's Day today! Then asked if it was still Mother's Day. I told her every day is Mother's Day:)<br />
<br />
I had to get a couple pictures with my sweet babies who made me a mama. (In my new Mother's Day necklace. J did good!)<br />

You have to excuse my son in any morning pictures. He is pretty serious about eating in the morning and there usually isn't a time in the morning before church that he isn't eating. Ha! </div>

I was thinking back to the years before kids when I wondered if I would ever get to celebrate Mother's Day. Wow. Life has changed so much and I'm one blessed mama!</div>

It was called The Great Cake Race and it was to benefit <a href="http://www.sweetblessingscakes.org/">Sweet Blessings</a>. We had never run in this race before, but the founder of Sweet Blessings spoke at my MUMs meeting this spring and I was so impressed by the non-profit that I wanted to run to support her. It's a non-profit that is run completely by volunteers to make amazing tiered/sculpted birthday cakes for sick kids or kids living in poverty who wouldn't normally get a birthday cake. She goes to our church and I was so impressed by her. Her non-profit creats hundreds of cakes per year and in the past was even highlighted on the Nightly News in a Making a Difference spot. (Check out the website to see some of the awesome cakes they have made.)<br />
<br />
This was Derby weekend so this race was on a Sunday afternoon (instead of a Saturday morning) at Keeneland. (Our race course is packed out for Derby even though the race isn't there live.) The extra fun part of this race is that they give out Blue Bell ice cream and cupcakes after the race. Way better than a roll and banana like most races!<br />
<br />
I can't remember ever having run in a Sunday afternoon race so that was a little different. It was a sunny and beautiful day but it was the hottest day that we had had so far this spring and we were not accustomed to running in afternoon heat. Between the heat and the hills at Keeneland it was a bit of a killer race. Jonathan was pushing the kids in this race and looked at me before the race and said that this would definitely not be a PR race for either of us. Conditions just weren't great. But I'll take sun over rain any day!<br />
<br />
It was an out and back race which sometimes is a bit boring, but I've come to enjoy them now that I'm running races with Jonathan. I have fun running the first half watching for Jonathan to come running back towards me. When I see people coming my way, I start counting on my fingers to remember how many people are in front of J. This time, I was able to yell "8" to him as he passed me. (After I waived at the kids of course.)<br />
<br />
I believe I started a bit too fast because I was feeling good. When I looked at my gps watch I was flying. And let's just say that on the second half of the course, it kicked me in the rear. I really paid for not pacing myself. The last quarter of the race was a struggle for me and my pace was crazy slow. I was just telling myself to keep my legs going because I was so hot and thirsty and thought I was going to hyperventilate. (Yes I run with water but I felt like I was taking a drink about every 10 steps.)<br />
<br />
Anyway, I finally finished and when I did I was trying to weave through the 1 mile fun walkers which was a bit of a pain trying to weave at the finish line! (To anyone directing a race: please don't start a mile walk after the 5k because all of the 5k-ers have to eventually weave around walkers and the walkers don't understand race manners to stay to the side and not walk 4 people across. Ok, stepping off soap box.)<br />

Here are some pictures Jonathan was able to take as I was running towards the finish line:</div>

Yes, I was using my new <a href="http://www.simplehydration.com/">Simple Hydration </a>bottle (in the back of my skirt) and I really LOVE it! It's awesome because the bottle itself hooks on your skirt/shorts so you don't have to wear a utility belt to hold it. </div>

My goal was to finish this race in under 30 minutes. I'm still nowhere near my pre-kids pace, but pre-winter I was under a 30 minute 5k and I'd like to get back to that and then improve. My very sad news is that I finished in 30:03. FOUR seconds. It was a slap in the face. FOUR! AHH! Next race I'm doing it.<br />
<br />
Of course Jonathan rocked it (even with the stroller). When he passed me on the course he was number 8 and between there and the end he was able to turn it on and pass two more runners. Yes, he finished 6th. With a stroller. People kept stopping him afterwards with how amazed they were. I was one proud wife. He is seriously a beast on the course! This was a small race (282 racers) compared to many races, but 6th with a stroller is still a rock star!<br />
<br />
I knew quite a few people from my running group and my mums group at the race so I was able to ask someone to get a picture of us. You know what they say, "the family that runs together, stays together". Oh, that isn't a saying? Well, we'll make it one. Yes, the kids look less than enthused. They really do love races. I promise.<br />

I ended up 81st and 6th in my age group. I'm excited that this is just the beginning of racing season. I love doing this with our family! I love that my kids get to participate and enjoy the race atmosphere. Oh and they did enjoy the ice cream (Adalyn) and cupcake (Cayden). It was hot, but it was a fun day! Now we're on to another race this Saturday. We've got quite a few races on the calendar for spring:)Abbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06600219165505579505noreply@blogger.com3
