Ben & Wren

We've been getting to spend a lot of time with this sweet girl lately and we love it! Wren's daddy is the youth pastor at First Presbyterian Church here in Frostproof, so she comes to play with Ben every Wednesday. We love going to Frostbite for dessert and having movie nights! Ben shows her all of his trains and she teaches him all about her ponies. They are so sweet playing together!

PCSO Annual Awards Ceremony

The Polk County Sheriff's Office honored my Mother in Law this evening with the Meritorious Service Medal and an Honorable Mention for Civilian Employee of the Year. We are so proud of her! She is such a wonderful example of a woman who is dedicated to her family and her career. I am so grateful for her influence.

Mother's Day

I had such a wonderful Mother's Day with my two favorite guys. Breakfast in bed, painting pottery, lunch at Burger 21 and dinner with my sweet Mother in Law. It was a perfect day!

Miles for Moffitt 2013

We've started a little family tradition of running the Miles for Moffitt race in Tampa each year. This year, Ben got to run his first race! Ben's race was called the Run with Raymond Kids Dash and he ran with the 3 to 4 age group. My race began at 7:45, but his didn't start until 9:30, so we had quite a bit of time to kill. They had a group of tents set up for the kids where they could make crafts and get their faces painted. Ben wanted no part of that...he was just ready to race. He did play frisbee for a little while. We got to meet the Ray's mascot, Raymond, but he didn't want his picture taken with him. I don't blame him; he is a bit scary looking! Ben finally got to race and did such a great job! We are so proud of him. He got his very first race medal and a t-shirt. We headed back to our hotel after the race and cooled off in the pool. We really enjoyed spending the weekend with our family and racing for such an important cause!

Kacie, Katie and I did so well in our age groups! We were all in the top 25 with over 100 girls in each of our age groups.

Downtown Disney

Grandma and Grandpa took us to Downtown Disney today. We had so much fun! Ben rode the train, we had lunch at Rainforest Cafe and enjoyed a little shopping & exploring.

Thanks for the great day, Grandma & Grandpa!

Saturday

I love that my husband will spend his Saturday evening running 4 miles of hills with me! 

Ben and Wren

Ben loves playing with my friend Elya's daughter, Wren. They have so much fun together! She came over Wednesday night to hang out while her mama & daddy were at church with the youth group.

We let the kids play at the park after our gym time on Friday. Aren't they precious?!
