Looking back I realized that I forgot to blog about a lot of events!! I guess I was just so excited for Carter's 3 month pictures, that I forgot to post anything else BUT those! Ha! Or maybe it's because I don't want to admit that one BIG thing happened.....me turning the big THREE-OH! Ewww!!! No it really isn't that bad. I don't mind saying that I'm 30. I had a great birthday. David and my friends and family made it very special for me.

Last year I ran a half marathon (London's Run) for the first time on my 29th birthday. Well this year, I thought I'd make it a yearly tradition and run it every year for every year that I turn "older"! I guess to prove that age ain't nothin but a number! :) I signed up for the half marathon really late but was still determined to get my training in quick and be ready for it come January 28th. Well, I didn't train enough so I bumped it down to the 10k. Christina ran the half marathon this year. It was fun to see her there!

For my actual birthday, David surprised me with family and friends and we all had cake and icecream. It was great to have everyone there! Love my family and friends so much!

For my birthday "date", David took me to the top of the new casino where there is a yummy fancy restaurant called Orange Sky. It overlooks the valley. It was beautiful!

Now onto other things....starting with our princess Kylee Alexa!
*
She lost both her front teeth last month! One came out in January and the other came out at the end of February. She was so excited to be just like her other friends and to sing..."All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth". She cracks me up!

Kylee is also excelling in her gymnastics group. She got moved up a level last month. She is now doing more stuff on the balance beam, uneven bars, and doing more floor exercises like front and back walk-overs. She loves it!

We are so proud of our Kylee girl. She is so smart, funny, athletic, beautiful and the best big sister ever! She starts soccer this week so we are excited to see how she does with that. She can't wait!

He turned 4 months old this month....on the 7th. He is such a ray of light and makes our days brighter and happier. He is discovering new things every day and loves exploring his surroundings. We just love him so much and can't get enough of our little man!

Now for Daddy.....
Now for Daddy.....
He is such a hard worker. He is excelling at his job and great new things are happening for him at work. Currently, during the month of March, he is working EVERYDAY! The days he isn't working his regular shift, he is picking up spring training baseball games. It's great and easy money, but we miss our Daddy! The time we get to spend with him lately is valued and precious!
*
He still finds time to spend quality time with his babes! Melts my heart!!

Now for me...all I can say is that I have recommitted myself to my workouts again. I was a gym hog before Carter came but once we got him, I didn't want to do anything but hold and kiss him all day long. I got comfortable and ate anything and everything! But I don't regret one second of it. But last month I was ready to get back into gear. With Carter on a pretty good napping schedule, I decided to take advantage and workout again. I feel great! David took me to Road Runner in Tempe for my birthday present, where they did some tests on me and fit me for the perfect insoles and shoes. I love them! Great way to get me started and back on track to a healthier lifestyle!

Kylee even likes running on the treadmill! She thinks it's a game. One day she will realize it's torture!! Haha! Jk...I actually really love it! But I prefer the fresh outside air when I can.

And of course, my life always revolves around these two amazing little angels. They are truly best friends and love each other more than anyone. Sad to say...but I'm pretty sure they love each other more than me and David. But that's ok! As long as they know that we love them more than anyone....they can love each other the same.

I love my boos!
