A Saturday Morning Request

Greyson and I were sitting around watching some cartoons waiting for Michael to finish mowing so I asked "What do you want to do today?" and he said "Paint!" so we painted.

He's practicing making circles.

Boys of Summer

It seems like summer is almost over and it really has just started.

Greyson has so much fun swimming with Daddy and gets more and more comfortable with being in the water every time we go.

He thinks this is the funniest thing to do.

He quickly learned how to climb up on the deck on his own. He does need a little boost but he will be jumping up on the deck and back down quicker than we think.

Hope you are all enjoying your summer as much as we are.

New Summer Gear

Running doesn't take much but I do love getting new stuff. I have been talking about trying out a visor for a while and I am really liking it. Much cooler than my normal hat. On the same trip it was time for new shoes. Got the same exact ones i had last time (color and all) even though they had a new model cause I saved $35. Now that's a deal I couldn't pass up.

P365+1: Days 153-159

159 - 6/7/12: I realize he will not like helping me clean forever but it is sure fun now. He helped clean the bird poop off the wagon, window, and mailbox today.

157 - 6/5/12: First shiner from walking in front of a friend on a swing. I just looked away for a second and he jumped right in front of it.

XBox is Exhausting

So the game will remain nameless but Greyson loved "playing" with Calvin. And how sweet was it that Calvin let Greyson sit on his lap and pretend to play so I had to have this pic.

About 10 minutes later I walked in and found this :) and couldn't pass up this pic.

139 - 5/18/12: A flower picked for me by my sweet boy.

Now That's a Shiner

Greyson got his first shiner today at his first real "play date". Hopefully he learned not to walk in front of a person swinging. Someday we will all get to razz him that this sweat little girl gave him his first black eye. He didn't hold any grudges as you can see he shared his ice with her after he settled down. Thanks to MomBE and Kylie for the help and for taking some pics too. ;)

Trail Running's Awesome

This morning I hit the trails for not just a run but an official race with my friend Allison B. We ran a 10K at the War Eagle Trail Running Festival at Hobbs State Park and had an excellent time with perfect temps and trail conditions. They also had a 25K and 50K which I will be doing for sure next year. I could get used to this ;)
Run On!
