Spring Break Day 9...5K

This morning Carly and I walked our first 5K with Katie and Olivia. It's hard to believe that it has been about 3 years since I have ran in one of those. Yes, you heard me, RAN!!! I used to run 5Ks pretty frequently while I was living in Florida...but once I moved back home to KY I pretty much gave up running all together. I used to run in the woods at the University of West Florida with my friend Raiza but when I moved back to KY all I had was the long, flat road...and that was boring. So, here I was this morning WALKING, in the back, regretting the fact that I have allowed myself to get this out of shape. Hopefully when school is out I will get motivated, dust off the running stroller, and start running again. Wish me luck!

Spring Break Day 8...Morning at Mammaw's

This morning Carly and I took doughnuts to my Mammaw's, her great mammaw's. This was the 1st time I have attempted to give Carly fresh doughnuts, mmm-mmm. Chocolate Long Johns--YUM!!! Surprisingly enough, she was not a fan of the doughnuts or the chocolate milk. I know she's not big sweet eater, but who can pass up long johns?
My sister brought her boys up a few minutes after we ate. The kids had lots of fun playing outside together. And I enjoyed playing with them on the swing set and visiting with Mammaw and Jeanette. As always Mammaw enjoyed the visit...she loves to watch the kids play. Unfortunately, I left my camera at home this morning and was unable to get pictures:( But here is a picture of Carly and Mammaw from my cousin's wedding this summer.
Carly thought it was wildly funny to put bubbles on her face during bath time. This is one of her silly faces...don't ask!!

Spring Break Day 7...Lazy Day

We have had a lot of beautiful weather lately, but today it was COLD. It was bright and sunny for the most part but it was jeans and hoodie kind of weather, which I love...in the WINTER!!! So, today it was nice to just...be lazy. I did have an appointment to get my hair done so mom watched Carly for a while. She seemed to have a good time over there and even got to visit with her cousin, Blake. She kept rocking him in his car seat and he would giggle at her. It was so cute. But for most of the day Carly and I cuddled on the couch...that is something that I will NEVER get tired of. Oh, how I love her!

Spring Break Day 6...Wordless Wednesday

Blossom was born today!

Spring Break Day 5...Day Full of Play

Today was another great day and once again we spent most of it outside. Carly and I took a walk around 9:00 in our pjs. I started out pushing Carly around in her car on the driveway...then I thought I'd walk to the end of the street....then down another street....and we ended up walking a few miles. It's a little embarassing but I was in striped pajama pants, a t-shirt with some polka dots, and barefoot....and carly was in her pjs, tutu, and also barefoot. However, she didn't seem to mind. In fact, she loved it. She refused to get out of the car when we got back home.

To my surprise, Carly decided to join me in the bath....pajamas and all. She climbed in all on her own and was VERY happy about it!

My sister called us to meet her and her boys at the park. Carly was really sleepy and her allergies (I think) were bothering her but she still seemed to have a decent time. She must have been completely wiped out because she took a 3 hour nap when we got home.

Spring Break Day 4...Just Hangin' Out

Today was a great day! We spent the entire day at home playing with Carly's Easter toys and when it got dark we went to visit Chrissy. Carly and the boys played outside on the front proch for a long time. I love days like this!!!!

Spring Break Day 3...Easter Sunday

This was the best Easter that we have had in a long time. For as long as I can remember it's been pretty cold. But this year it was beautiful! It was a great day to visit with great family. Carly loved being outside. During the Egg Hunt she just walked around...she could care less about the eggs but loved watching the other kids. She did manage to pick up a few here and there. I have to say, I think she was adorable. We started off the day with Carly's 1st Egg Hunt at my Uncle Pat and Aunt Joy's. It was so nice of them to have the entire Coomes' family over. I am so glad they did! Thank you!

Then we went to my Aunt Carol Kay and Uncle Steve's. We got to eat outside and the kids played, played, played. They ran around the yard, dug in the dirt and played with the trucks. Carly started feeling bad...allergies, I guess...and we came home before the Egg Hunt. But fromm pictures it looked like fun and I'm sure Carly would have love it. Thanks Carol Kay and Steve for having us over.

The Easter Bunny knew Carly was really sleepy on Easter morning so he decided to bring her presents later in the day. He brought her all kinds of stuff while she was taking a nap, but she didn't see it until later that night because she slept for so long. She was so excited when she saw what he had left her and headed right to the car. She LOVES it!!! She played and played and played...and would have played some more, but I made her go to bed. She started to walk around in her sleep and didn't fight me at all when I started to get her ready for bed. But first thing the next morning she was in the car agian!

Spring Break Day 2....Shopping in Nashville

Today Carly and I went on a shopping trip to Nashville with Jeanette, Katie, Carter and Olivia. We had such a good time. People thought I was nuts for taking Carly along with me, but she seemed to have a good time. She loved playing in Pottery Barn Kids, she danced in the cart almost the entire time we were in TJ Maxx, and, she seemed to enjoy strolling around Opry Mills Mall. Jeanette and I took our youngins' to the aquarium to see the stingrays. Carly did ok at first but when one came our of the water to see us, she started to cry. Bless her heart! She dd begin to warm up to them before we left and made her way to the tank where she could see them through the glass. I really enjoyed spending time with Jeanette, Katie and the kids. We stayed longer than we had planned but we found some good deals and came home with a truck load and a half of goodies...and I really mean a half. We had to meet my Chrissy at the mall and send our first round of stuff home with her.
