Disney on Ice

Last night Jason and I took Landon to see Disney on Ice in downtown Nashville, while Houston stayed home with his nana. Cars, Toy Story, Tinkerbell and The Little Mermaid were all the characters we saw during the show.

As soon as we walked in, right in the front door were all the really expensive Disney toys kids love and parents hate to buy. Since this was Landon's night Jason bought him a $12 Buzz Lightyear that does nothing. ;o)

 But he LOVES it and it made him content during the show

Green army men were so good

All the Toy Story characters along with Mickey and Minnie

The show lasted 2 hours and Landon started melting down the last 15 minutes, which I think is pretty good since the show started at 7 pm and at this point it was almost 9 pm. So we did what any other parent would do, buy him a $10 cotton candy that came with a Lighting McQueen hat. Yeah that was smart giving a 4 year old cotton candy at 9 pm, but you do what you got to do right? As soon as we got home he had a sugar crash and feel right to sleep after this bath. 

Overall it was a great show and Landon really enjoyed his one on one time with us and we really enjoyed being with him as well. The things we do for our kids.

I really don't have much to blog about this week. The boys and I have been on fall break all week and we have been lazy, sleeping in, doing errands and playing. My mom took Landon on a lunch date at Chuck E Cheese all day yesterday, so it was just Houston and I. It was nice to have some one on one time with him.

Monday Jason was off work and I caught them napping in Jason's recliner that afternoon

Landon has been a VERY good boy this week, so I treated everyone with our favorite doughnuts, Krispy Kreme

Yesterday we "slept in" till 8 am and just played in the bed for awhile

Don't you just love the action shots?

My good friend Sarah makes fun of me because I put a Landon bid on Houston. So this picture is for her. I'm pretty sure Houston does not mind having his brother's old bibs on

Tonight Jason and I are taking Landon to Disney on Ice. I'm pretty excited about it, I'm just hoping Landon does well. You just never know the mood with a 4 year old at 7 pm. Let's hope for a good nap this afternoon.

Happy Thursday!

Smyrna Depot Days

Today our little town had their annual Depot Days, which kicked off this morning with the 5 mile race. So I woke up bright and early this morning and headed downtown to run a nice little race through our town.

I was #499 today

I think I ran the 5 miles in 58 minutes which is still at my 11 to 11:30 pace. I didn't want to run to hard today since my 13.1 half marathon is in 2 weeks from today.

These are a few of my running buddies after the race. These girls are FAST

My number was called for a door prize and I won a water bottle

My friend and neighbor, Chasity won an oil change; haha

After the race I went home to shower and grab the boys. We headed back downtown to enjoy the crafts, food, train ride and bounce houses for the kids

Landon got his hair spray painted

It was daddy's idea

Houston as always enjoying the ride

After Depot Days we headed back home for a quick nap then Landon had a birthday party to attend to. It was his first one where I was able to drop him off and then leave. Even though it was one of my best friends son's bday party, just leaving him there made him seem so big and grown up. 

While Landon was at the birthday party I got my new fall wreath out

LOVE it!

The boys and I are on fall break next week, we have nothing exciting planned expect for we are taking Landon to Disney on Ice. I plan on getting fall decorations out and working on the boys closets for the fall/winter season.

Happy Saturday y'all!

NICU Reunion

This past Saturday our family attended the NICU reunion at the hospital where both Landon and Houston spent time after their birth. It has been almost a year since we left the NICU after spending 67 days there with Houston. It was great to see all the nurses and doctors that took amazing care of our boys and for them to be able to see how much Houston has grown and changed since last Fall. Being there every day for 67 days we really got to know many of the nurses and doctors and became good friends with them. Most of them we have on FB so they are able to keep up with our family. 

We were so busy talking and keeping up with both boys, that this was the only picture we were able to get that day.

Happy Friday!!

Fall Ball

Last week Landon started his first season of fall baseball. This was his first time to ever play baseball so I was not sure how he would like it. He did ask to play baseball, but you never know until he actually gets out on the field to play. The first game was kinda a "get to feel it out game", but the 2nd he really opened up to the coaches and the other players.

His favorite is to bat

and run bases

out field is OK to

It also helps that Jason is one of the coaches on his team

His game was one of the cutest things I have ever seen. It's an all boy team so most of them were kicking the dirt, picking their noses or playing in the grass. True ball team style and I would not have it any other way.

Nashville Women's Half Marathon

This morning several of my friends woke up bright at early like 5:30am early on a Saturday to run the Nashville Women's Half Marathon. It was such a beautiful day to run 13.1 miles.

I had several good friends run the race this morning. Suzanne, one of my running buddies ran a great race and finished her first half marathon. This is the group of girls including myself who ran the last 3 miles with her. We met Suzanne at mile 10 and jumped right in the race to finish off with her and give her some encouragement. 

The atmosphere and energy there was awesome. Even though I didn't run the full half marathon, I still had a blast cheering on my friend and running the last few miles with her. 

 I heard there was about 5,000 women running this morning 

 Suzanne and Tammy at the finish line

Congrats to all my friends who completed the half marathon this morning. I am so proud of you all.

My first half marathon is in 3 weeks. ;o)

I'm running my longest run tomorrow morning, 9 miles before church. I hope I am able to even walk tomorrow. ;o)
