OKC Half Marathon

These pictures were taken about 5-10 minutes after Mommy crossed the finished line. I was still very red and hot from the 13.1 mile run. Mommy did very well and ran it (don't have chip time yet) around 2:15 to 2:20 min. It was so fun and the crowd gave you so much energy as they cheered you on! It was AWESOME!

Mommy cannot wait to run White Rock Half Marathon in Dallas this December. Mommy and several of her friends are doing the Tulsa Route 44 Full Marathon Relay in November. I know I need to take a break and rest for summer... but I cannot wait till I race again! I guess all summer I will spin, yoga, and muscle train!

Happy Easter!

Nothing beats an Easter Basket full of goodies... especially a chocolate Easter bunny and stupid Peeps!

Coloring Easter Eggs with a little extra mess

More soccer action? Or is it pouty action?

Look at her kick that ball... so much enthusiasm in her arms. Then look at her pout later?

I guess she did not get her turn.. or is it she wanted to play on the playground instead?

Are we two peas in a pod or what?

How do I look?

First Soccer Practice

Noelle had her first official soccer practice on Saturday. She is playing with Rogers Activity Center for the "little kicksters" league. She was sooooooo excited. After the game, she wore her soccer outfit ALL DAY. In the pictures, she is the one in the pink cleats (of course), and the black soccer shorts and black jacket with hot pink (of course). She did so good too!

Me too! Me too!

Leah wants to play too! The first thing she did when we put her on the ground is run straight to the field with the big girls and the pink soccer ball. We had to hold to her back for 5 minutes because she wanted to play so bad... she kept yelling "soaka, soaka daddy" and pointing her little finger at Noelle and the big girls on the field.

Happy 14th Anniversary to Mommy and Daddy!

Doug and I went to Hot Springs and Oaklawn for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary (which was actually on 18th but Doug was out of town). We actually had a rockin' good time! We came home a little richer from the horse track, stayed at the Arlington and had a couples spa treatment, and did a little shopping. Of course had a nice dinner and wine at Belle Arti!

First Big Girl Haircut

Mommy has always cut my hair but I wanted to try a big girl chair so I got nearly 12 inches cut last week. I got to sit in the big girl chair and get a new sassy hair cut to match my personality!!! Mommy got to save a lock (pic above) of my hair!

Who wants Doughnuts?

Our little pig says "noink, noink" as she devours her Krispy Kreme Doughnut, goldfish crackers, and milk.

Someone call a doctor, I got Spring Fever

The time change threw Leah off a little bit so she slept all afternoon but Noelle flew a kite, rode her bike and played at the park. Leah did get a little tricycle time in early evening. We know Spring not here to stay but we sure enjoyed the sneak peak.

Baby Leah's 2nd year well baby checkup

Leah had her well baby check up with Dr. Youngblood 2 weeks ago. She has finally jumped onto the growth charts... she is now 5-10%... yea for our lil petite baby! She was also 23lbs so she is growing... most importantly, her weight and height are in great proportion! Everything looked great and she had her screening with Parents As Teachers and appeared well above her age developmentally for all the areas (gross, fine, intellectual, social, and language). We knew she was a smart baby... but look at that face... she is still the cutest too! No one can mistaken her very bright smile... oh, and the smiles she gets when she runs!

Valentine's Day Party with Noelle's Pals

Noelle had fun at her Valentine's day party at her preschool. They played games, had heart shaped twinkie snacks, and exhanged valentines and other gifts. Noelle was still in her bahama mama mode with her braids from Atlantis... but she made it back just in time for the party. Mama forgot her camera and had to use her phone camera... excuse the subpar quality of the pictures.

Our Baby Leah turned 2!

Baby Leah turned 2 years old on Feb 15, 2007 at 10:47pm. She has brought endless joy to each of our lives. This pictures is Leah just hours after she was born. She was getting ready to get her picture at the hospital.

First Day home from the hospital on Feb 17, 2007. Mimi and Papa went out and bought ballons, a big yard sign, and lots of love when we got home to greet them.

We celebrated by starting our morning making "tantakes" and little dogs (sausage links). Each morning when Leah wakes up she informs me "leah eat tantakes" so we HAD to have them for her birthday breakfast. When then got all rested and ready for the big party at build a bear with friends and family.

Happy Birthday Angel! We LOVE you more than life!

Party Animals!

Leah had a TERRIFIC birthday this year with all her friends! We started out with pizza and cake and then marched down to Build a Bear for a fun and games. We want to thank all our friends for coming and celebrating this special day! Also, Leah got some really cool gifts too! Of course, she loved having all her aunts, uncles, cousins and her wonderful set of grandparents (Mimi and Papa & Grandma and Grandpa) to be there too! Leah sends her love and kisses to all of you (and you know baby Leah... she is a love bug)! A special thanks to Mama's friend, Maliah, for volunteering to taking the pictures with our camera so we can catch all these awesome moments!
