A little late but.....

Happy Father's Day to the best daddy we know!!!



We enjoyed father's day this year eventhough Bryant was working. We gave him his gifts before he left for work and AK told him "happy birthday" haha! I had nursery duty at church and after Anna Kate took a nap and my family came to town. We did some shopping and had a nice dinner to celebrate our Papa! AK and I went to the fire station after dinner to hang out with daddy :)

I did it!!!

My sister-in-law ran her first 5K a few weeks ago and asked me to run one with her. I have been running for a while now but not the distance of a 5K but I gave it a shot today! We ran in the "Hampton Huddle" 5K to benefit Spencer Hampton who has cancer. I made it through the race and didn't stop until I got to the finish line! I was able to finish the 5K in 28:15. I was so glad to see that finish line!!  Bryant brought Anna Kate to cheer me on. I was glad to see them after the race too!!

After the race!!

I want to add in a little "plug" for Visalus. I have been using the Body by Vi shakes since February and LOVE them! They have helped me lose weight and drop inches that I couldn't seem to get off with my regular diet and exercise routine. I also have noticed a lot more energy since I have been drinking the shakes. I love them so much that I decided to start promoting the product in April and have had a lot of success. I would love to share this challenge with you and promise you will see results if you stick to the program! You can either do one or two shakes a day, healthy meals, and healthy snacks. You do not have to starve!! That was huge for me because I love to eat!! You can flavor the shakes anyway you would like, they don't have to be just chocolate, vanilla, etc. I haven't found a combination yet that I don't like!!! The shakes are great even if you don't have weight to lose because of the health benefit. Each shake included 23 vitamins and minerals!! If you would like to learn more about the Body by Vi product and join me in the challenge go to:

Jackson's 4th Birthday and 2nd Annual Pig Pickin'

Jackson turned 4 on the 6th of June and we celebrated last weekend at his party at Jumpfit. Anna Kate would have nothing to do with the bouncy house and big slide when we went in November to another party. However, this time, she had a blast! I think everybody did!

Birthday boy!
Ready to go down with Jackson and Abby
There she goes!!
Waiting for cupcakes.....
YUMM!

Melisa with all of the kids at the party. I told her she looked like Mrs. Duggar on 19 kids and counting. haha!
After we left the birthday party we headed over to Brad and Taylor's house for Bryant and Brad's 2nd annual Pig Pickin'. We took AK's blow up pool so the kids would have somewhere to play. We had a great time and the food was delicious!!

The "cooks" with Josh and Janet
Everybody having a good time
Jaques is her favorite!
Sweet Connor :)
"I found another one!!"

A big "thank you" to Tay Tay and Bubba for having us all over! We had a great time!

Birthdays and 22 months

We celebrated 2 birthdays this weekend. Anna Kate had such a fun time at both!! Stacey turned 30 last Wednesday and our buddy Holton turned 2.

Taylor, Me, Stacey
Holton had a Sesame Street themed birthday party and everything was precious. He also had a big bouncy house. Once AK figured it all out she loved it!!! They also had a GREAT swing set. We have got to bite the bullet and get a swing set for our backyard.

pleeeeeease no more pictures! Let us jump!
on the way to the swing set!!

Elmo cake pops!

Anna Kate turns 22 months old today......just 2 short months until she will be 2! Time flies! I just want to record a few funny things she does
  • When she gets a spanking (which is a small "pop") she will walk up to other people and say "mommy hurt me!" Oh my!
  • Loves to sing and has begun memorizing songs and can sing along
  • Whenever she wants something she says "Anna Tate's turns"
  • She is learning to say "thank you, yes ma'am/sir, no ma'am/sir
  • When she gets mad at me she says "No mommy No Sir!"
  • She usually says "Thank you ma'am" when you give her something
  • Eating is usually a battle to get her to eat
