Dallas Rock & Roll Half

March 24, 2013: My "girls" & I FINALLY crossed the finish line together! We have thrown around this idea for awhile now & we all ran this half marathon together (plus 2 of our guys in the group, Scott & Paul.)
The weekend was wonderful all being together (minus not being long enough & a windy windy race day).  Yet another amazing memory in the books with "the Fab 5!" Thanks girls for not letting me back out of the race last month, I'm so happy I crossed that finish line & hugged all your necks!

Jackson turns THREE!! {3-15-13}

On Friday, three years ago I gave birth to the most beautiful blue eyed 7 pound 13 ounce baby boy. How has it been three years? You are still beautiful, but now you have such a big personality, smarts, humor, own quirks, & completely have our hearts stolen.
We had such a wonderful day celebrating J Man! Breakfast at Ihop (his choice pancakes), playing at the park, little rest, big surprise treat Yo Gabba Gabba Live show (one pumped kid!), & then a family cookout at Lolly & Pop's with even more family than we expected (Aunt Barbie, Uncle Steve, & Aunt Katie, & baby Lucas).
Beyond wonderful day!! Happy 3rd birthday, Jackson Reid!! Thank you for being the surprise of my life! xoxo

Gifts from Mommy & Daddy in the morning.
