More triathlon pictures

Here's some pictures from during the event! So crazy to see them-it was a great experience! Between some lessons learned, more training, and some better equipment-i'm hoping to easily shave at least 20 minutes off my time for next year. I'd love to finish this race in under an hour!

Lake Nasworthy Triathlon

My first triathlon! It was so much fun! Can't wait to do another one! It was a 300m swim, 10 mile bike and 2 mile run. Didnt stop at all, ran the whole thing and finished in 1:15:30! Not to bad considering 1) first race-learned alot of tips that will save a lot of time for the next race 2) my chain fell of my bike and it took like 5 minutes to get the bike going again 3) mountain bikes are not good triathlon bikes! I have started saving up already for a new road bike!

Wes video taped a lot of it, so I'm hoping I can pull some pictures from there of me in some of the different events. He said he's running it with me next year!

Had to get a sticker for the car. Already have my 13.1 sticker for when I run the half marathon in November!

4th of July

For our 4th of July, we started by going to the Pops Concert down town in San Angelo at the River Stage. Big fireworks, and the whole time makenzie had her ears covered, sitting in Mimi's lap some, then as soon as the fireworks started she was in mine and wouldn't budge, just shaking! She was milking it though, had her Mimi feeding her so she wouldn't have to move her hands! But the boy was great-he had some crackers and an apple juice box-he could of cared less about the fireworks!

How I started my morning: coffee and a brownie!

mmmmmmm

4th of July Morning, we went to the Santa Rita Kids parade, open for everyone! Kenzie's (and Jacoby's) first parade to participate in!

My sweet baby girl

Went to the park that afternoon.

These were the best two shots of the both of them that I got that whole afternoon! So hard to get them both looking and smiling!

Trying to stand up

Did some painting that afternoon!

It's no fun if you dont get dirty!

Happy 4th of July!

 And played in the sand box while daddy grilled out that night!

Jacoby's Bday Party

Finally getting around to posting!

I took Jacoby to get his pictures taken on his birthday at Sears-big mistake, the guy was horrible. However, yall will profit from a number of pictures of Jacoby from that day because the guy gave me some freebies since he knew he did so bad. Lol. Here is one of the pictures that I took after he deserted us in the photo studio. I think it might have turned out to be my favorite from that whole day!

Birthday Boy enjoying his first ever cupcake!

Then we went to the mall play ground and had some friends meet us at chickfila for lunch to celebrate!

Kenz with her gluten free egg free cupcake-they really didnt turn out to bad!

 After working out, I took the kids to the play ground that evening, Jacoby had a pretty good time!

He loved the tunnel! He crawled back and forth almost the whole time!

My poor baby did run fever after his first year check up, had 103.4 fever until Friday night then it finally broke-so he was ready to party on Saturday! Birthday party was a success! Everyone said they had a really good time!

I ♥ cupcakes!

Pool Party

Enjoying the sand box Pop Pop built!

This is Ms. Preslee who comes to stay with us during the year while her momma is teaching.  We're excited to have her come back again in August! She'll turn 1 this month.

Here she is walking! Jacoby-we gotta get you walking by Aug-you're gonna have to keep up!

I'm still waiting on some more pictures from my mother (ahem!) so hopefully she has one of Jacoby eating his cupcake and opening a gift or two from that day! I'll get them up when I get them!

Poor baby!

My little man had his 1 yr check up today, which means shots. I even split them up, he only got two today, and it still knocked him out! Poor baby!

Happy Birthday Little One!

My baby boy is one today. ONE! I can't believe it! One year ago I was desperatly praying to go into labor naturally, did not want to be induced. We went in on our scheduled day, and sure enough, I was already in labor! I love being able to look back and see the Lord's hand in my pregnancy, delivery, and the first year of my son's life! May I never take the littlest things for granted, and always give praise where it belongs!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOBY! I am now the mother of a 3 year old and a 1 year old! WOW!

The last two weeks have flown by!

Last week was my last week with my two girls, Preslee and Makyleigh. Preslee is just at home with her momma for the summer then will come back in August. Already miss her!! We had a pool party on Friday to celebrate summer. Preslee's older sister came to play that day. Here are the girls.

Looking oh-so-cute!

This week VBS has been going on at church, and our new friend Landon is coming to play with us. Makenzie has been VERY excited about it! She has been introducing him to everyone, "this is my new friend Landon!"

Wes' summer school also started up this week. So now he's trying to fit a class and study time into his already crazy work schedule. He will move to full time at nights in a few weeks which will help out!

Lacey had her little boy on Monday, so we got to meet Baby Bryce. He's adorable, looks just like his big sister did when she was born!

This week has also been a very tough one-there was a car accident in Christoval, where we were youth pastors at. The crash took two lives and left another in the hospital. Its scary to think how fragile life is! And how you truly are never guaranteed another day here on this earth! Makes me want to hug my children even longer, every chance I get!

Kenz is having a lot of fun at VBS. She's not so sure about the morning worship rally though. This morning she told me to fix her hair down by her ears because the music was to loud, and maybe this would help keep it quiet. I love walking through the halls and hearing the "mommy" get yelled out! She gets to do crafts, music, stories, all kids of fun stuff, and all of it with her good friend Lauren-so that makes it even better!
