Jace turns 10!!

 We spent the day in Oklahoma City and Jace got to spend a really special week of one on one time with his Nani & Grandpa after celebrating his special day.  We woke up and went swimming as a family at their pool then we went out to lunch at a nice restaurant and then we came home and had chocolate birthday cake and he got to open his presents.  We were going to try and go do laser tag but Jace was so intrigued with putting together his new NERF VULCAN which is the most awesome (and expensive) Nerf gun available that we lost track of time and we have to drive back home.  (We got his VULCAN used on EBAY and it STILL costed $70!!)  It broke the next day so after he got home from his week long stay with grandparents I spend 10 hours fixing it. He's super careful and protective of it now.

Oh how we love Jace.  I couldn't imagine our family without him.  Happy 10th to you sweet boy!

The Color Vibe 5k

I LOVE fun runs!!  I remember doing them with my dad as a kid and want my kiddos to have the same special memories.  Exercise can totally be lots of fun.  Here is our before and after of The Color Vibe 5k Fayetteville.  We definitely got crazy colorful.  Brookie and I had a special morning running together; although she tuckered out early so I ended up carrying her on my shoulders.  I told her the next time we do one she has to train for it before hand so she can run the whole race on her own.  It was a super fun experience.  I'm glad I got to share it with my daughter.

A Boy & His Bus

Oh this boy loves this bus!  It has been his constant companion this summer.  It eats with him, plays with him, and sleeps with him.  He can't wait until he gets to ride the bus to school one day. :)

Cow Appreciation Day

This is the one day of the year that Craig's hideous cow shirt from his mission comes in handy.  I didn't feel like cooking so I pasted some black spots onto some white shirts and made some cow ears out of construction paper and yarn and taped a piece of paper that said "EAT MOR CHIKIN" on our shirts and we were good to go for Cow Appreciation day at Chik Fil A.  We all got a free dinner.  Jace refused to wear his so I said he didn't get eat anything. :)  He quickly put it on just while we were ordering and then took it off and looked around to make sure nobody he knew saw him then he sprawled back in his chair and ate his own meal and half of mine and Jenni's. Chik Fil A is Jace's fav.  He always get a #1 chicken patty sandwich.  Ty LOVED this.  He was a great cow and didn't want to stop mooing and pretending even after we left.  :)  He really wanted his friend Parker to see him as a cow.
