A bit of an improvement

46.19 minutes

Ran my second 5K yesterday evening with two awesome girls, Stacey and Katie. And was able to shave a little over 3 minutes off my time from the first race. When Katie and I got back home, our husbands agreed to run with us next time. We think it was the beer that was talking but the next race is May 22 so we'll see if they have amnesia.

Not only am I enjoying the running, especially since Stacey has been my weekly running partner. But its all to gear up for Warrior Dash in August.


On another note, Spring has sprung around here and Holden was being my gardening helper last weekend. We planted our vegetable seeds and he loves using his watering can that he got from Grandma Hassler.

Random Wednesday

Not quite a wordless Wednesday but plenty of photos.

My first harvest from the spring garden!

Holden laughing at Dad with his first spaghetti and meatball face.

I met Stacy and Cameron at the park on Good Friday since we both had to take the day off since day care was closed (we were so upset to have a long weekend). Holden is still not sure about the swing.

Dad and Holden coordinating for Easter Service. My baby boy is starting to look less like a baby and more like a little boy.

This is my favorite photo from Easter, he is scrunching his nose listening to us talk on the patio at a friend's house.

As The Garden Grows

Jeremy made a raised garden bed for me for mother's day. I finally got the veggies and herbs planted. Now we'll see if I have any sort of a green thumb.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there. It is my first mother's day and unfortunately Jeremy is out of town, but he is celebrating the wedding of his older brother and gets to celebrate mother's day with his grandma and mom today. He left me to really special cards, one from him and one from Holden before he went to Omaha. Holden and I went to peruse the garden departments at our favorite big box stores and picked out some flowers, veggies and herbs for the garden. Jeremy is in the process of making us a raised flower bed so we can grow our own yummy veggies. I will post some photos when we are all finished. We are going to enjoy the beautiful day we have today in Charlotte and take a nice afternoon stroll around the neighborhood.
