Busy Saturday!

I volunteer for the Collin County Humane Society http://www.collincountyhumanesociety.org/ and did my first adoption event with them today. Everyone was great and I made some great new friends. It was an exhausting and busy day as I volunteered from 10:45 - 4:00. We did adopt about 7 dogs though and maybe one more.

Mike was so great today while I was gone and took the girls to play A LOT and then home to rest. They came and visited me a couple of times today because Kiley is dog OBSESSED! Then, they came and picked me up at 4 and we went to eat because I hadn't eaten all day! He truly is the best husband!!!! The girls had a great day with Daddy and really wanted the time with just him.

Tomorrow we are having a down day to clean the house and get ready for the holiday week!

Another Year Older *sigh*

Well, another year has flown by. My girls made me cards this morning and woke me up with them. What a great way to start my birthday. Brittany, however, couldn't understand why my friends weren't coming over for a party..little does she know we tend to celebrate less the older we get. We explained to her that it was OK that Mommies friends weren't coming over to celebrate and we reserve special things like that for them. I did get a few phone calls from my closest friends so I was blessed!

We spent the day hanging out and coloring and went to the gym as we always do.

It is official!

Brittany is a cheerleader for AYSA. She decided to do this instead of soccer because anyone that knows us knows she is very girlie so the appeal for a twirly skirt was just too much!!! She did look very cute when she tried on a skirt and shirt for sizing. She will be in the same squad as a friend of mine's daughter so it should be lots of fun. She gets to wear her cheerleading uniform every Fri for Pep Rally day and we will have games to go to every Sat!!!

As much as I wanted Kiley to attend Preschool where Britt went, the gas is getting out of hand so we have decided to enroll her in a local preschool. It makes sense anyway in case B needs me for something and will give me more time to volunteer for PTA and I am also going to start volunteering for Heroes for Children in the fall. We will definitely stay busy that's for sure.

I will also be enrolling the girls in dance this summer as Britt has decided she is done with gymnastics at least for now.

Father's Day Weekend and the week

We had a great weekend. We had to get a new TV on Fri and the poor kids did great being drug around until 9:30. They finally gave up the ghost on the way home and crashed out. We no longer have 3d Television - lol. Sat was a busy day, we had a birthday party for great friends of ours and had to rush home afterward because we had my Mom and Stepdad out for dinner for Father's Day. The girls l0ve it when they come over. We had a great and lazy day spending time with Mike on Father's Day.

The girls are in VBS this week so I am taking advantage and going to the gym in the morning vs the afternoon. I think we will meet some friends for swimming after VBS one day.

The girls and I are really having a great summer. I decided that I wanted to keep them home more and especially since Brittany is starting Kindergarten. WOW - enjoy the younger years because they go so fast. My babies will be 6 and 4 this year....

Busy Week!

Well, as some of you know I go to the gym now 5 days a week (go me)! So, we try to fit things in around that schedule but I will take a day off for special playdates. Today we met some close friends at the pool and had a great time. My girls were freezing well because they are so tiny! they love the water but Kiley does not like water sprays and will turn them off before she walks by. Those that know her know that she doesn't like to be dirty or have anything on her fingers either. Yes, I have quite the diva's.

Tomorrow we are meeting some friends for food and fun and will relax some on Fri.

Sat we have a birthday party for some friends and then we are having my parents out for Father's Day!

Sun is Mike's Day - whew and it only gets busier from here!

5K and loving it

I did my first 5K on Sat - Race for the Cure - and what a great experience it was. I was on a team with some Mom's in my Mom's Group and we all did great. Mike and the girls came out to support us and cheer us on!!! We have all decided to do at least 2 more this year so I am really excited and now I just need to beat my time from the first one.

Our next 5K will be for Heroes for Children. This is a great organization for families of kids with cancer. http://www.heroesforchildren.org/ - definitely worth reading about..if you would like to donate to the walk, here is my link http://www.active.com/donate/heroesforchildren/MSnyder161.

Wish me luck!

Girls are taking a break from the water!

Fun Weekend!

We had a kinda lazy but fun weekend since the rest of the weekends in June are going to be busy! Sat we ran our normal errands and since it was so hot, we bought a small outdoor pool for the girls to splash around in to cool. They love it and since I can't take them swimming at the same time then this is working out well. They played for awhile out back while Mike cooked steaks on the grill.

We are also trying our hand at growing some vegetables so I took a picture of our little tomato plant.

Sunday, I went to see a movie with a friend and then we met up with Mike and the girls for lunch and then home for rest and fun out back.

We go to the gym everyday so the girls really look forward to that time to just run around crazy and I look forward to some time alone. The rest of the week will be busy with some good friends coming over tomorrow and we say goodbye to a friend that is moving on Thursday!

I am doing Race for the Cure this Sat and I am kinda nervous and hoping to run a lot of it. Brittany and I have a birthday party for a friend of hers from Preschool later that day so I will be exhausted. Here are a few pics of the girls in their new little pool
