E's first real words

When we were on our trip to  TX...Dora was playing on the dvd player and you hear dora say "Verde" (green)..then a pause and dora says it again...and during the next pause you hear E say "Verde"...she said it not once but 3 times...oh my bilingual daughter....the other word that she said was when she was with her dad and K at the pizza place...Dave said to K, "say yes, sir daddy sir"...when K didn't say it...E chimed in with "yes sir..dada..sir"  with a big 'ole smile...how crazy is that.....she has said apple, sissy, but mama seems to elude her...with coaching she will say it but not with out...

Life seems hectic at times or do we make it hectic

I think that the term "stay at home" mom doesn't really mean stay at home.  It seems like I am on the run these days.  E is getting more and more expressive...it's crazy how much she loves to laugh at her sister.  K is loving preschool and only has about 4 1/2 weeks left!  Oh what a sad day that will be when she can't go to her school....I am still running and training for a big 5K race that I did last year.  I was training today and went for a run and thought I had measured my loop at 1.1 miles...well...when I ran it..my times was slow...and it felt like I was running my normal pace...I hope I am not getting slower in my "old age"...K likes to tell me how far I should run...usually the answer is 3 miles but recently she said..."7 miles mom....then you can be as fast as dad"...who knows what she meant by that...she loves to tell stories and then at the end..you have no idea what she was talking about....well enough of my rambling...I will add more pictures later.

Spring Break!!!!

We had a lot of fun with Dad being off from school because of spring break! We decided to drive south to Texas to visit a friend of mine as well as D's brother, sister in law and new nephew.....isn't he adorable! We had fun at the Texas relays where D got to see some fantastic runner's as well as elite runner's. I think K's favorite part about the track meet was the pole vaulter's..E seemed to think that it was great to watch the pole vaulter's as well. We had some great hanging out time with B, M and Little H...it was sad to leave them. We really weren't looking forward to the drive home but a few well placed stops helped out. We also had fun on the way to Texas seeing a friend of mine along with her family that had moved to TX this past August. It was really great to catch up with her. Here are some more pictures of our trip.






Go Longhorns!!!!!
