Back to Basics

So, I've decided which 5K I'm doing and with date of when I wanted to do it. There was a race for Autism. What better cause could you ask for? And what a better place for money to go to! I'm super excited!
I'm just now back in the mind frame of running, and you know what? It feels GREAT! Seriously, I ran two miles at the gym yesterday and it felt AWESOME! I know it's not a ton by any means, but it felt good to know that I haven't lost all my progress I made from last year.
So, yeah to October 4! And on a side note(I love saying side note) my family comes in that day too, YEAH!

So many things

This week has gone by quite fast and been so fun! I just finished my latest sewing project, which I'll hopfully post some pics of soon. And now back into scrapbooking. I had a friend Candi come over and a new friend Angie come over to scrap. And it was so fun! WE all know how much I love to talk so what's better then scrapin' n talkin'. LOVE!



WE also got invited to the biglers for a homemade Cafe Rio style dinner it was quite enjoyable! Great company and good food!



And now people I have decided to go back to my old world. RUNNING! I've decided to sign up for a 5K. It's no marathon but right now a 5K is perfect for me, not too far away, and a nice quick distance. So, it's time to get my butt back into running gear, and kick this 5K's butt!

He's beating me down, and I dont think I can fight anymore

My son is crazy right now. They say terrible two's and I'd say he's been in those for a while but he's reached a new level people. He wants, he wants, he wants and then oh you dont give him exactly what he wants all the time(I dont anyways) then watch out he's going all Ape-s*%T on you! Needless to say this is what our weekend was like:

Caden's Buddy

Caden has a great little friend named Abby, he although says "Tabby" and she screams back "My name isn't Tabby it's Abby". Good times. Well, she is his buddy, they live a couple buildings away from us and she was our swimming buddy. Swimming=Abby"Tabby". Well, her mom had the movers over so she came and played with us. They had a great time! And we made butterfly's out of coffee filters and clothing pins, huge success! It was fun and while Caden was napping I braided her hair and did her nails. So Fun!

Member of our Family

After having Duke for a week. Some problems arose with our apartment and we were stuck with the hard task of finding him a new home. It was so sad to see him leave in someone ele's car. I cried, Caden cried. I see how people attach to pets now. He was such a good dog, and in any other time in our life, we would have kept him forever.

The BEST place ever

There is this place called Monkey Joes and Caden loves it. He runs in screaming with joy, but patient because he knows he needs his little yellow wrist band and sox's. We go every week. He jumps all around, burns energy. We all win! Anyways, we go so often I thought I would let you in on a little visual of it. And for an extremely funny story scroll to bottom.







don't ask me why he goes down on his stomach backwards, its just his thing




Carrie came into town awhile ago and we decided we take her there. Well since Caden is so young, it's okay for the adults to go up on the slides as well. Carrie being the genius she is decided to go face first on her stomach. As I was doing the slow scream "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" she went and well, lets just say it wasn't pretty her elbow took the brunt of it, she now calls it 'the devil place' and I just laugh.

Rockin' new seat

Caden's new carseat, I love it, he loves it

Jam, Jam, Jam

I love to make Jam! Okay before you think I'm all domestic it's freezer Jam. Super easy, super quick and it tastes AMAZING! Ten times better then store bought! I've always made strawberry but today ventured out and made PEACH!

Best Salon in Town

that's right at my house. Eric my amazing husband who is multi-talented man, helped me hi-light my hair.
Then I added some other colors to it last night, now only if I can teach Eric to cut my hair we would be set!

Kitty Kat

Caden's good friend Abby he calls "Tabby" turned three! So we went to their house for a birthday party get together. Well, we had a good time with good company but Caden found a new friend "kitty-kat". He played with this kitten no joke for hours. He was enthralled as was the kitten.




And this is his face when you take a picture and say "Cheese"

Aladdin is Eric's favorite movie, coincidence...I think not

You Are Jasmine!

Independent and adventurous. You don't want much; just to break out of the guilded cage society has put you in and experience life to the fullest. Following orders isn't really one of your strong points, and you would rather live a life of poverty than being forced into something that you hate.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

We've joined the Club

We've joined the club, the most elite club out there.. The Mercedes Benz Club. That's right people we are now highly sophisticated people! With important things , important people and many important...uh. you get the idea. So here's our new ride. Take in the beauty of our new 1988 Gold Mercedes Benz

I feel pretty...

So, for those that have meet or seen my husband. Well he is a large man, alpha male kinda type of guy. But he is also very secure with himself. Such as probably a year ago we went on a date and got pedicures together and then dinner because I wanted him to see how great a pedicure was. He is a trooper and didn't mind going.

Fast forward to now, Eric has this problem he bites his nails constantly, and they are nubs, nothing left to them. He was talking to this guy at work about it and the guy had the same problem but his were worse and got infected, and he said he went to a nail place and got fake nails, to help him stop. So Eric comes to me Wednesday and says "Tabitha, I can't quite biting my nails, I think I want to get some fake ones to help me stop". Needless to say I was speechless. I asked a ??S such as ARE YOU SERIOUS??? and then I dropped it thinking he wasn't serious enough to do it. Well, last night he comes and goes I think I want to see about getting my nails done tonight, I of course laugh again but he's serious. So we head out. I take him to this Nail Salon I have been to and he wanted me to come in and talk for him and get him set up. Hilarious! Well, the nail techs looked a little puzzled but went with it. It's money to them. So he sat down and his eyes bulge open because they start talking Chinese and he can't understand them. Hilarious!
***Quick side note, like Styrofoam is to me, like nails on a chalk board is to most, Heebie jeebies sort of thing, well that's how nail files are to Eric.
So, they start to put tips on him, and file them. His eyes bulge. Hilarious!
After awhile Caden started to act his age so much to my dislike we needed to leave, and we left Eric to get pampered, we came back to see him and he was almost done.
In the end his is happy he did it and likes that he has nails, he scratches my back and says how does that feel, and I say "it feels like a woman is scratching my back".
I didnt think I can put hilarious enough! Hilarious, hilarious, hilarious. And now pictures for your viewing pleasure....




I told him after he got some dirt under them maybe they wont look so girlish! haha
