Day 1

Ok so I have been slacking BIG TIME on going to the gym and I decided that if I found something that would motivate me then I would go everyday. Well I have always wanted to run a marathon but I am not a runner. I have thalassemia and it makes it hard for me to run long distances, but it doesn't mean that I can't. So I have decided that I am going to finally run a marathon! Today was "Day 1" of training and my training is not going to be just running but a mixture of weight training, running, and different types of cardio(like spinning). Today I started with weight training. I have a great class I go to that really makes you push yourself to get stronger, it's called 24 lift and if you have a 24 hour fitness around you then you should check it out. Anyways, so my goal in the end is to run the Big D marathon in Dallas, which is April 10th, and in between now and "d-day", I am going to run the Austin Half Marathon on Valentines Day. Ok wish me luck and I will continue blogging on how it's going!

My new hobby....

Ok so the past few months have not been good for us financially due to the economy so I am taking up a new hobby to hopefully pay for Christmas for the kids. I am selling mark. cosmetics! It's a brand from Avon that is for young women. They have a ton of cute things and great products. So, I started a blog to gain potential customers so if you guys could follow me I would appreciate it! Thanks and wish me luck! Here is the link to my new blog: http://meetkatebuymark.blogspot.com/

Girls Day!

Today, Brooklyn and I went to get our nails done. It was her first manicure and pedicure, yep I am getting her started early being high maintenance!

The place I took her is so kid friendly, they have kid sized chairs and a t.v. attached so they are entertained while they do their nails. Needless to say, she wants to go back everytime she comes to visit she told me......

Here she is watching Spongebob....mom is in the background getting a pedicure...

All finished....

Look how cute the flower is on her toes.....

Noah is 2!

Today my baby boy turned two! I am a little sad to see my last baby grow up but I was so happy to see him so excited about his birthday! We went to the Fort Worth Zoo, which I have to say is the best zoo we have ever been to, so clean and nice and cool even in the summertime. Anyways, Noah loves animals so we thought the zoo would be great for his birthday and he absolutely loved it! He said his favorite were the elephants, which ha wanted to ride sooo badly :) Here are some pictures that chronical our fun and exhausting day at the zoo.....

Will lost a tooth!

Ok so I am a little late posting this but a couple of weeks ago Will lost his first tooth! He was so excited about the tooth fairy, he woke up and found $3 under his pillow, which he is saving...if it were me I would spend it but I swear he is his Uncle Erik all over, he is going to save his money and the money he gets from all of his other teeth to get something "really cool."

FINALLY....

So I am FINALLY posting again!

This weekend was Michael's Birthday and Mother's Day and we had so much fun! On Friday, Michael played golf all day, which is his all time favorite thing to do.

Saturday, Will had a soccer game and during the game while going for the ball he pushed another player down then turned around and yelled, "Mom, I did what you told me too!" All of the other parents just stared at me like I was the worst mom ever! Will is not very aggressive and he lets the other team take the ball away so I simply told him to push them away if they try to take it......well that didn't turn out well. Anyways, Saturday night we went to the Round Rock Express game and had a blast! I have never seen someone devour cotton candy so fast, until I saw Will eat the whole thing in under a minute, it was pretty amazing.

Today, I slept in and woke up to breakfast and flowers, it was soo sweet! After that I went and got a pedicure and manicure and laid out by the pool while Michael cleaned the house and did laundry.....ahh I love Mother's Day!

Here are a few pictures from the baseball game.....

Ohhh and I got a new haircut....... What do you think???

Dancing with the Stars and Updates....

So Michael and I are into Dancing with the Stars this season and after last night we are making our predictions on who we think the winner will be. My choice is Shawn Johnson, I think she is so cute and has a lot of real talent. Michael's choice is Melissa, from the Bachelor. I really like her too and I think she is really good considering she only had 48 hours to practice, but I think Michael chose her because he has a crush on her....Anyways, we will see what happens!

So, this weekend was Will's first soccer game and he scored his first goal! We are so proud of him!
Look at how proud he looks......

Here are the little ones taking a bath after a looooong weekend of playing......

And here is Brooklyn in her Princess dress...........
