Happy Easter! Kinsley's PreSchool had an Easter celebration that included an Easter Egg Hunt. Let me just tell you... Blake prepared Kinsley well! They practiced about a week in advance and Kinsley knew exactly what to do! I think she got 50+ eggs in that Easter Egg Hunt! HAHAH! It was hilarious. We had such a good time and we love all of the Spring fun ahead!
I can't say enough how LUCKY I am to have these little gems in my life! They make my world so happy and they truly complete my life. I hope they will always know how much they mean to me! Being their mom is my greatest adventure! HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!
(Also, Kinsley's little hand on Blake is probably the most precious thing ever. I hope they are always this close as they get older. Siblings are forever friends in life!)
Blake is in 6th grade this year at Wake Forest Middle School. They do not let 6th graders join any team sports, but they do allow them to have a 6th grade First and Fitness Team! This team does competes once a year in track and field events - they compete against other Wake County Schools. Blake was selected to be a part of the relay team! They did a great job. I also might be biased, but Blake had a great cheering section!!!
Blake has really shown interested in running and track. This was a great glimpse of what our future might hold with watching Blake do school sports! I am so proud of him!!
38....I. Am. Old!!!! Oh man, I can't believe that I am in my late 30's! I remember being a teen and thinking 38 was old as dirt... and here I am! Truly, I have started to feel my age. I am feeling exhausted, the aches and pains, and my body is just NOT the same. I can't believe I am to THAT point. However, I am also a big believer that you have to put in the work to stay young. I keep telling Joyner that WE have to start working to keep out bodies in shape and feeling good, otherwise our bodies are old enough that they will just go downhill. What we do for ourselves in our late 30's-40's will set up how we age for the rest of our lives. We need to make that a GOOD thing and not a bad one. I want to live a long and active life with my family!!! Nothing is taking me out early! Ok, now that I am off that soap box...HAHA!
I love birthdays and I love celebrating it with my little family. I truly loved how special they made me feel today. It was so nice! My favorite part is of course the birthday cake!
Speaking of birthday cake... a little tradition that I have come to love is when the kids help my blow out the candles on my cake. For a long time it was just me and Blake, but now my little crew includes Kinsley! I can't wait to add many more pics to this collection over the years!
Also, later that weekend Joyner took me on a birthday date night to Dos Taquitos! Two words - GUACAMOLE TRAIN! It was amazing!!!
My Dad (GG) got Blake a super awesome Christmas gift this year... UNC Basketball tickets! They got to go to a game today and they had a blast. Blake is at the perfect age where he is truly appreciating the game and players and all the sports fun!
He loved the atmosphere at the Dean Dome as the players ran out in the beginning. He loved seeing some of his favorite players. And I think GG loved it all more than Blake! I remember when my dad would take me to games and events like this and I am so glad that he has the opportunity to take Blake to these things as well. They are making amazing memories together!!!
Most importantly... I think we have officially made a UNC Tarheel fan out of Blake!!! YAY! :)
