Mill Mountain Zoo

Last Saturday the boys and I ventured to Mill Mountain.  Kiptyn had never been to a Zoo before so it was all new to him.  It was a little bit chiller weather for May but we still had enough sunshine for it to be a fun day!

 

 

Jackson's favorite were the porcupines!

Kiptyn's favorite animal there was the Red Panda.

5k

About 3 months ago I got some motivation to do the "Couch to 5k plan".  I've never been any sort of "run lover" at all so I definitely had some reservations.  I always struggle with my weight and thought this of course would be great and of course healthy for me to start.  After motivation from running pro: Amy and my super speedy runner husband, I decided, why not try it.  I can honestly say now that I enjoy running.  I don't love it but I do like it and enjoy it.  It's so nice for me to go on a run after work and get rid of stress and everything else before I pick up the boys from school.  Plus it's something for ME...that I enjoy for ME.  My goal starting the coach to 5k was to at least finish the 5k Mannathon on May 18th.  I finished! Yay!  It was such a fun morning to accomplish this milestone with great friends!  I'm so incredibly proud of my friends who have accomplished their goals and ran as well!  You Mommas rock!

Amy thank you for your motivation and accountability!

Finishing like a Champ!

Rachel's Wedding Shower

Saturday we celebrated such an awesome couple!  One of my dear friends, Rachel is getting married in July.  We are more than thrilled for her and Matthew and to be a part of her special day!  

PS: and by "we" I mean Josh and I both.  I'm honored to be one of Rach's bridesmaids and Josh was just hired for his first wedding as a videographer.  The man couldn't be more excited!  We are talking wanting secret service ear piece type of role for this man,....he's stoked!

Mother's Day

On Sunday we ventured to Longwood for a Mother's Day dinner picnic.  It was such a nice day, but a tad windy.  We had lots of fun eating pizza with family and celebrating the Mommas!
