Face Painting

When I think of face painting I think of, little rainbows on the cheek. At Sesame Place they do not play around with the face painting. Jacob was a pirate and Zoe a princess. Priceless!


This is his "ARRRRRGH" face.

Oh...my...goodness they are so cute!


Help me! I can't handle all this cuteness!

The Monsters & Zoe

Zoe loved seeing all the Monsters! Jacob didn't want to have anything to do with them.

Zoe ran to Grover for a big hug then said, "I wub (love) you Grover!"




Abby Cadabby is Zoe's absolute favorite! Notice the same pose with the feet. Zoe saw Abby during the parade. Before I knew it she had run out into the street to follow Abby. The security guards brought her back to me.

Sesame Place-Rides

We went to Sesame Place this past Friday. This was our first experience taking the kids to an amusement park and we had so much fun! This was the best place to go for our kids. This first picture looks just like a toy we have for the kids.

Jacob loved this ride!

Zoe did too, but it took a few times.

So cute!

This is Mommy trying not to throw up...I hate teacups!

I'm surprised Brandon got a picture of us all looking at the camera!

Jacob and I loved this ride. Zoe did not!

This was the first time Zoe rode this one. As you can see, it took some time for her to like it.

There are many more pictures to come!

Uncle John

My Great Uncle John Stockton passed away Sunday, May 2nd. We were fortunate enough to spend some time with him and family a few months ago. We were all able to go to his funeral and spend time with family after.

I think Zoe is trying to boss Papa around in this picture.


Zoe had so much fun with Sarah, Melissa, Emily that she didn't want to leave them! She was very dramatic about saying her goodbyes. She cried, "My girls, I can't leave my girls!" We are looking forward to seeing them again.


Jacob and Zoe were thoroughly entertained...I was very happy!

Running Day 2

Day 2 of running I ran/walked 2.2 miles. I did notice that my achilles tendons are hurting! That has to do with my 5 finger shoes. I need to walk more to strengthen my feet and tendons before they can handle all the running. I still intend to run, I just need to strengthen first.

Day One

Day One on my C25K plan: 2.2 miles walking/running. My first day in my new 5 finger shoes. Other than the blisters on my big toes, I love them! Maybe if I tape my toes next time I can avoid the blisters. We will see.

Couch to 5K

I am not a runner and never have been. I am trying to change that now. Coolrunning.com has a variety of different programs. The one I have chosen is "couch to 5K." I will be posting my progress to hold myself accountable for the next 9 weeks. I am hoping this will start a love for running. Is that too big of a hope? If not love, then at least tolerate. Wish me luck!
