Softball party and Discovery Center

While Rusty was away working, Caitlin's softball team had their team party.  Caitlin got her trophy and got to visit with her team one last time before moving up.

Caitlin also used her birthday money to buy some XXL beanie boos.  She is SO in love with these guys!

Then we went to the Discovery Center on one of those days when it wouldn't quit raining.

Our new favorite part of the Discovery Center is the shadow room.  You turn on a certain light, pose foe 10 seconds, then flip the other switch and you can pull away and see your shadow.  The girls LOVE it!!

Caitlin drew a portrait of Squirt, the turtle that she still misses.

And this one made me stop for a minute.  Caitlin + Nathan = heart?

Uh, who is Nathan?!?!?

Oh boy!!

Happy Birthday!

We celebrated Caitlin's birthday on Thursday night at Sky High Sport.  All the kids seemed to have a blast!

 Alaina loved the trampolines!

Cake time!  Caitlin wanted an ice cream cake, specifically the one from Publix.  It was actually really good and we will probably getting another one soon.  :)

Hey Andrew, wake up!

Thanks to everyone who came to her party and to all our family out of state that remembered her on her birthday.  She definitely felt special!

Happy Runniversary!!

Today marks one year since I have been running so I added up the number of miles from my tracker. 

412.3 miles in my first year.

 

That is crazy!  I can't say that I have loved every minute of it, but I can say that I never regret a run.  I love proving to myself that I can do something.  My goal this year is to run a half marathon.  My training for that starts tomorrow.  I was going to run the Middle Half in Murfreesboro.  I've registered for it already.  But then I realized that it is the Saturday that we come back from Destin.  Oops!

 

So, I haven't been able to find a replacement race that isn't crazy expensive so I think I will just run my own half.  I'm going to just do my training plan like normal and maybe run it while I am in Destin.  We will see.

 

Anyway, here's to many more years!!
