Mini Me

Yesterday I was curling my hair, and Kinsley wanted to have her hair curled too.

I be.....

So after Chris and I were dating for awhile we started to talk about marriage and kids. He always joked about when in comes to teaching our children how to speak I wouldn't be the one to do it. It might have something to do with my southern accent. Or maybe the way I always mix up words and say the wrong things. I have never claimed to be an English major or anything. Obviously from my posts, I am not a great writer either. So one day Kinsley starts saying "I BE tired" , "I BE hungry." , or "Where does Daddy BE." What the??????? I swear I never taught her that. It is funny, but not cool. Oh my little sweet redneck baby.....

RiverBend Race

Saturday I ran in the RiverBend 10K race. It was so much fun. I ran with two of my sisters Stephanie and Lindsey. One of my good friends Sarah ran too. I finished the race in an hour and 7 minutes. I know that is not super fast. But I was impressed with it. I ran the whole 6.2 miles too. I did not stop and walk. Which made me so happy. I can't wait to run in more races. My next one is going to be August 8th. Go me!!!

The before...

This is the before... Hopefully in 5 months I will have the after...

Some Pictures

Here are some pictures from the last month.

Kinsley got to spend the day with Benjamin. They had so much fun. We went to the park and then chick-fil-a for lunch.

My Mom got a book with really cool cupcakes reciepes in it. So I tried to do the corn on the cob one. I think it turned out good. They really did look like corn on the cob.

Kinsley, Eli, and Benjamin(no clue who the other girl is).

I want to run again.

I used to run all of the time. Before I got married I was in the best shape I have ever been in. Due to running. Now 6 years later..... Well lets just say I need to lose a few pounds. So I have been just a little frustrated lately. I have been trying to get back into shape. And nothing is happening. I decided I need to start running again. I want to feel that high again when you are running. I want to feel like I can run forever, like I used to. (Runners out there you know what I am talking about.) So this is the game plan. I need to run in races to help me stay motivated. I have a race scheduled every month starting with June. And the goal is to be able to do a half marathon by November. I am posting this on my blog because I don't want to back down from this. I seem to always find reasons why I need to not take care of me. I think when you get married and have children, women start putting everything ahead of themselves. "We don't want to be selfish." But you know what it is ok to want to do something for yourself. I have an awesome husband that supports me, so NO more excuses from me. The race I am running in June, is the Riverbend 10k. The races that I have done in the past have only been 3-5 miles. So 6.2 miles will be fun. Wish me luck..I can't wait...

A Wife and A Momma

Yesterday I got to celebrate Mother's Day and my 6 year anniversary. I am truly the luckiest person alive. I married my best friend and I have a wonderful daughter. The past 6 years have been what I have always dreamed of. I love Chris with all of my heart. Kinsley has brought so much joy into my life. I love her so much. Yesterday was wonderful.
