Beach Trip!!!

Last week was the kids and my fall break. It was entirely too early for me but we did enjoy a fantastic beach trip! We packed up and headed to Fort Walton with my dad and step mom. They were kind  enough to let us tag along on their usual vacation. Chad however doesn't have fall break until next week so he was stuck at home. Here are some picture from our wonderful trip!

 No sand in the eyes!

 Folded ears!

 Cheetos!

 

Body boards!

 

 Family photo! Minus daddy of course

 We flew a kite!

 Playing on the beach

 We tried swimming with no floaties!

 Barbie thought we were on a nude beach

 

We were attacked by some seagulls! If you know Sara at all you know that she doesn't care for any kind of animal. She did get better by the end of the week.

We had to walk pass this fountain at least twice a day. It was always extremely funny to both Sara and Evan that she had no clothes on. They always laughed at the "ugly girls booty"

We enjoyed ourselves and had a great time! Thanks Gigi and Gipa for a great trip!

Competition

This has a strong meaning to me right now! Thanks to a long time best friend I have started doing this and its made a world of difference!

I did it!!

I ran my first 5k as an adult yesterday! For the past couple of months  I have worked hard for this particular race. I did reach my goal and hit the time I wanted. I might not have been the fastest runner but I was super excited about my time. I was able to run the entire race and did not have to stop and walk or take a break. I am working towards a 10K on Thanksgiving with my girl Amber! I am also hoping to do another 5k in October.

It's been a while since I have posted anything on the blog. I did not realize how long until this morning. We have been super busy!

Sara had her eye surgery a couple of weeks ago and she has recovered nicely. We go back in a few more weeks to change up the prescription and see about the possibility of her no longer wearing the glasses.

We are finally settled into the school year and adjusted to our schedule. We have a fall break in a few weeks and the kids and I are off the to beach! Can't wait!

 Evan went on his first hunting trip! He went dove hunting with Chad. He had a blast! Evan loved picking up the birds and getting to go "hunting with daddy"

Did I mention Chad and I are going back to school? We are now working on our Ed.S. degree in Curriculum and Instruction.
 

So yes we are super busy!!!

Manic Monday

Summer is officially over and we are in back to school mood. The kids are trying to adjust to 6:30am wake ups, We are just about back to our "normal" routine. (whatever that might be) Sara is loving Pre-K and Evan is enjoying his new classroom and teacher.

I have started on a new journey and set a goal for myself. I am working on running a 5k. Someone is encouraging me to run more (Amber)  so I can be their running partner. I am running my first 5k as an adult in September. I am going to see how that goes and before I decide if I want to run anymore than that distance. I'm thrilled to be running after a major foot surgery in December.

Chad is settling good in the new job! He was able to meet all the players and parents tonight. I am exited for him and to see how the upcoming baseball season will go!

Keep Sara in your thoughts next week, she will be having her eye surgery. They are correcting her lazy eyes. The plan is to correct it and hopefully be able to get her out of her glasses.

Hope this week flies by. Today was really long for some reason.

Sara learned to write her name this week!

Evan washed the table with his napkin and sweet tea

I finally hit 3.2 miles! Yay me! I will run a 5k!!!!

3rd Place and Proud!

Today was the annual Georgia State Duck Call Contest. Chad participated for his second year in a row. He did a fantastic job! He blew three great rounds! They were about as perfect as you could get. However the judges just didn't see it that way. We will be happy to take 3rd place and there is always next year. He did walk away with some great prizes. We also were able to spend the day with some great friends! He will be back next year and hope to do even better!

Chad's friend Chris (who taught him every thing he knows) also participated today. He did a great job as well! Notice they were matchers!

Ducks Unlimited Yeti Cooler! One of his prizes :)

Afterwards eating some lunch!



While the judging was questionable Chad did a fantastic job! Can't wait to see how next year goes!

Many more to come!

On July 29, 2006 Chad and I begin our life as a married couple! After dating for six years we said "I do" and begin our journey together. The past six years have flown by. We have welcomed two beautiful children into our lives. We live a crazy chaotic life but I would not change anything! I love you and can't wait to spend more years together! Happy Anniversary!

A New Journey

So if you have not heard or seen it on Facebook Chad has accepted a new job! He is now the head baseball coach of Jackson High School! The school is right down the road so we can stay in our  home and I can continue working at my current job.

The past 4 years have been fantastic at Alcovy High School! We have made some really great friends and it will be hard not to be around for the baseball season. I will miss my baseball buddies and the great times we always have.

We are looking forward to our new adventure and I am super proud of Chad. I think he will do a great job! Wish us luck on our new journey!

Go Red Devils!
