Happy 'Early' Birthday Jason

Egg Hung #2
at our house!!

Everyone had a wonderful day yesterday!! The smaller kids played outback on the pirate ship

and the bigger kids played soccer in the front....

Brett and Jason even did it with a baby on the hip =)

What a blessed day, however we are POOPED =)

My FIRST Easter Sun Run!

Two miles was a VERY big deal for me...

I have been running two miles at the YMCA in about 23-26 minutes.

So that is where I was hoping to come close to....

We hoped to get there in time to watch Pam and Jared cross the finish

line from the 10K race which started at 9:00, but at 10:00 they were

lining up the 2 miles people so.. off I went.

I had no clue that Pam was running the 2 mile just a little

bit behind me, I really WISH I'd known she was back there.

She didn't catch me because she was looking for me behind her

Remember my best time at the Y was 22.54 min.

I was so shocked when I came around the corner and could

see the time clock....


19.42 MINUTES...


I was still unaware that Pam was running behind me so we went
and let Curtis get his face painted while we looked for the Martins.
I knew they were there because I hear Jared cheering me on as I approached
the Finish line... Thanks Jared ;)


We Finally Found them!

Me, Pam and Jared!!

Pam ran both races!! And Jared did awesome in the 6 Mile! (I can't imagine running

for an hour straight, someone would have to be chasing me ;))

The man running in front of me had this on the back of his shirt,

"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me"

Philippians 14:3

I don't believe that man was put in front of me by change...

THANKS SO MUCH Pam for believe and encouraging me!

I can't wait for the next one, I will keep running so my time will improve!

We are Thanful for the *Son*

"From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, " My God, my God why have you forsaken me?""

I don't spend enough quiet time remember/studding the events which lead up to the Resurrection. What a brutal yet loving path our Christ took on MY behalf. In reflection I am Thankful that my sins have been paid for that while I may fall short in the eyes of the world I am loved by our savior and saved by his blood!

So today we are Thankful for the Son... and also for the Sun! What a **beautiful** Good Friday!

Health Fair!

Today we went to the Heath Fair at Century II

Anyone who knows Curtis, knows this was perfect for him...

First Iggy was checked out in the ER for his broken foot
Then Curtis sat in the Eagle Med Helicopter

Then they played on the Fire Engine

Then Curtis was able to feel and watch how our lungs work

Thanks Annette for inviting us...

Curt was able to get all of his questions answered and won a

pair of scrubs!!

Fun Family Day (I know I take A LOT of pictures but they are only this size once)

Zoo Trip!

Yesterday we went to the Zoo!

This was kinda Cadies first trip, we went

last year but she was to little to have enjoyed it....
NOT this Year!!

Our membership will get its use this year...

THEY LOVED IT!!
The Herpetarium (my least favorite for obvious reasons)

The Jungle (Curt's favorite)

Tiger Trek...

I told Curtis,"If you weigh 40 lb. How much do you think the Tiger weights?"

He thinks and says, "80" Which I thought was a pretty good guess

at least he went bigger then himself, but I told him I bet it was a little more

than that to which he says, "Ok maybe 81 and a HALF!"

They are Beautiful animals!!

Our last stop was the Gorilla's which is always entertaining!!

I am beginning to deeply appreciate the simplicity of just spending time with my kids =)

Welcome Spring!!

Welcome Spring!!

Welcome Sunshine!!

Tuesday we were able to go out and play!!
It's about time..

We are "outside" people...
Even the dogs Loved it =)
Hope this nice weather sticks around!!
