Our weekend...

This morning was my longest run yet in my training for the half marathon, like ever in my whole life!, and honestly I was dreading it all week.  I had no idea how I would survive it!  So I decided to get up early Saturday morning and get it over with instead of putting it off.  I survived although I wouldn't say it was easy.  I stopped every two miles for a 20-30 second water break but other than that, ran the whole time...1 1/2 hours! 

I know my dates and times are still off...small details.  Note to self...fix that (or get husband to!).

My knees were KILLING me afterwards.  They were sore at the end of the run and got worse throughout the day.  I was laying in bed Saturday night watching "A Walk to Remember" (one of my fav movies of all time and I cry every time I watch it) and Jay was in the den watching football and I texted him to ask him to bring me some motrin.  I was really worried I wouldn't be able to walk the next day but it really wasn't bad at all Sunday when I woke up thank goodness.  My knees have always given me a little trouble but nothing like this.  I guess I should expect it on long running days.

My hubby is a keeper y'all.  We picked muscadines last weekend and he made jelly today ALL BY HIMSELF.  I didn't even assist.  He looked it up on the internet and did it all.  I was so proud of him!

This afternoon we went and picked up Precious to spend the night so she could go see Disney on Ice with us tomorrow.  They were in the same class last year and this year are in different classes and miss playing with each other.  

This is a poster Karis made last week and wanted us all to sign it.

When Karis has Precious over, Lucy and Brayden feel like they have a friend too.  K and P are so sweet to include the siblings too!

I found this hanging upstairs...

Bedtime!

Before church Sunday morning...

After church, the weather was perfect so the girls brought their dolls outside on the fort to play with them.  I don't blame them!

Then we left to go to Disney on Ice...post coming soon!

Gator Cheerleading Clinic

I blogged last Saturday that Karis had a cheerleading clinic to go to and she would be performing.  Well tonight she got to perform with the other girls and high school cheerleaders at the half time show of the high school game.  She was pumped about it and very eager to perform and see her friends.

Karis says this was her cheerleading friend...she taught her in the clinic but she doesn't remember her name.

My cutey little cheerleader (she wanted me to take a picture of her shirt)

Her bow was cute, it said "Gators"...

My sweet girls

Me and Lulu watching the game...not too much of a game though we got killed!

Brayden caught this when the cheerleaders were throwing them out.  He, Trey and Karis all "caught" one so I think the cheerleaders were generous.  :)

Proud of our sweetie!

Karis and some of her friends froms school...this is Sydney.

Karis and the Gator mascot...Brayden was running and hiding from him, seriously!

Halftime show

It got really cold after half time so we didn't stay the whole game but it was fun.  I forgot how fun high school football games are!  So proud of my girl Karis!  :)

Yep...I caved.

Oh I was going to bump the system.  I have heard people talking for months about Pinterest (and I have googled how to even say the word, still not sure!) and I was determined to not give in to the trends and fads of the online world.  I was going to be rebellious for once and NOT do it! 

Until I clicked.  Peer pressure I tell ya!  

THEN I was in organization heaven.  And you all know I love some organization.  I have a LOT of bookmarks on my MAC for recipes and what-not and some are hard to find on my LONG list of bookmarks.  This "pinning" on Pinterest makes it so easy to organize all of your favorite websites, ideas, recipes, whatever it is that you want to compartmentalize into categories.  It automatically links to a website when you pin it and all of your favorites are right there for you to see, reclick and use at your convenience.

I know I am the last one on the planet to give in, but if you haven't already....do it!  You can see my page live here.

Thoughtless Thursday
