Move for the Kids 5k

So I ran a 5K last weekend with some awesome ladies (see below!)

This race was extra special because it was in memory of my friend, Brooke's, baby girl Charlotte Victoria! Baby Charlotte lost her battle with Charge Syndrome in February and spent most of her time here on Earth @ the Children's Hospital in Chicago. This 5k raised money for the NEW Children's hospital! Raising 1,000 dollars would have put Charlotte's name on a plaque in the hospital but Brooke was able to raise FOUR THOUSAND!!! Talk about a Mama on a mission.

I think it's so awesome that Brooke does things like this to keep Charlotte's memory alive. Every time I see the color pink I think of that gorgeous little girl and her incredible journey.

I wasn't sure if I should make a post about this since it's not MY story to tell but decided to because of the HUGE impact Charlotte's journey had on our family. We never got to meet baby girl but through her story we drew closer to each other, to God and realized how truly blessed we are! I want to always be able to read back on our blog and remember the sweet girl that changed us forever!




Team Charlotte runners and one REALLY FAST walker! There were I think 5 more walkers not pictured!!

PS- Brooke and I both PR'd in the pouring rain! My official time was 25:09-- Miss Charlotte must have known we'd all be extra motivated to cross the finish line if we were cold and wet!

Today after playing in his room for a while Logan came down to the kitchen where I was making dinner and said to me, "I just ate a sticker!" (very proudly)
"What? Why?!" (more shocked than I should have been considering who I was talking to) "I was just a little curious." (very matter-of-factly)
....perfect example of why we lock up the bleach.

Children's Discovery

This weekend we had a playdate with Clayton @ The Children's Discovery Museum.... The boys played so well together and I didn't think they would ever leave the 2nd floor...the farming floor:) But to all of our surprise the boys loved the stage/painting area just as much!

While the boys played Lynley just did a lot of watching....and hanging out with the girls! Sister loves Aunt Taylor:)




After the museum we met up with Alisha @ Firehouse and had some pizza....I'd give the pizza a 9 and the service a 2.....but still fun!

Uptown Normal is so cute...we had fun just walking around and the boys LOVED picking out their own toppings @ the frozen yogurt shop.

Another bonus- on the way to the museum we saw Spider Man! He was making an appearance @ the comic shop so both of the boys got to see him from the car...Logan was surprised that Spider Man was in Bloomington...he said to me, "I didn't know Spider Man was in this city!" and Clayton wanted to know who was in Spider Man, haha...he was talking about Peter Parker:)

Easter

Log and Lyn had a great Easter this year. We made the trip to Mowequa to celebrate with Chad's grandparents.  We are still in between houses (April 13th, get here!) So it was nice to get out of the in-law's house and visit in the big hall where Easter was held. 

 Log had a great time running around with all of the kids during the Easter eggs hunt and was being a huge sweetie and sharing his eggs and candy with all of the other kids....even a girl that was a jerk to him the whole afternoon. 

Log and his egg hunt treasures:)

Lynley Mae: 9 Month addition

Our Sweet Lynny Girl is 9 months old!

Weight: 16 lbs 11 oz (30th percentile)

Length: 27.5 inches (45th percentile)

Right now Lynley is LOVING her new found ability to MOVE. I won't lie...I was starting to panic when it wasn't happening but one day she just decided to go...and has ever since been perfecting the art of bugging her brother by touching everything he is touching.....DUH his toys are the bomb.

Lyn has also been perfecting her cutest thing ever skills by practicing "SO BIG" (hands in the air) and "YAAAAY" (while clapping)

Still making me a very happy Mama by not fussing about the bows I have her wear every day:) I'm not sure if the girl would recognize herself int he mirror if she didn't have a huge poof standing on the top of her head.

For being such a peanut she sure does have some chubby cheeks!

I mean obviously the girl is sweet, just look @ her but words cannot describe how precious this baby is! Girlfriend has a smile for anyone she meets and is very rarely in a sour mood. She is definitely a Mama's Girl but has a soft spot for her Daddy! (I know because all she does is talk about "Dada" all day long. Hardly any "Mama" love.) She also ADORES her big brother. Anything Logy does is HILARIOUS and she is happiest when he is paying attention to her. I call the kiddos pretty much anything but the names we gave them and Logan has started to do the same thing with Lyn, making up the sweetest nick names for his baby sister on the regular. CUTE. I hope they always love each other as much as they do right now!

We would not change a thing about the girl and she really has completed our family. Adding just enough sweet to compliment all of Logan's silly!

3 1/2

Logan Daniel you are 3 1/2 in every way!
