Halloween

Baylor chose to be Thomas the Train this year for Halloween. As for Chase, I was not going to give him the choice, because I didn't think he would care, because he is still little. Boy was I wrong. The day of our trunk-or-treat he started freaking out when we tried to put on his lion costume. He apparently wanted to be Thomas the Train too. I decided it wasn't worth the tears, so I rushed to Target and got another Thomas the Train Halloween costume. He was so happy to be just like big brother.

Here are some other pictures from Halloween week.

On second thought, don't say cheese

Like most moms I've been trying to take cute pictures of my kids for Halloween. Unfortunately, my kids don't make the cutest faces when they are yelling, "cheese" at the top of their lungs.

Gone "Full" Crazy

Alright, I guess I better admit that I am training to run a full marathon. Most people who have known me for a while have heard me say, "I would never, ever run a full marathon, because I think that's just crazy". Well call me crazy, because I'm doing it. I joined a marathon training group here in Louisiana, and the first people I ran with also confirmed this by saying, "If you're running a full marathon that makes you full crazy just like the rest of us". I figure at least I'm in good company running with them, because we are all basically insane.

I'm going to run the Texas Marathon on New Years Day. There are 10 other people in my family running the half or full marathon with me. We decided it was time to get in full training mode this week, so today I ran 15 miles, in 2hr 7 mins. I also burned 1500 calories, What!?!?! It's no wonder I'm craving a supreme pizza and steak dinner at the same time.

I'm hoping I make it to January, because I'm already burnt out of training, and I hadn't even trained hard until this week. I know it's going to get really hard, but I'm hoping it will be worth it.

Yearly Pics

Baylor and Chase had birthdays recently, so my sister, Courtney took their yearly pictures, while we were in Houston last week. My boys were all over the place. She was literally running to keep up with them, so I am super impressed that not only one, but several of the pictures turned out. I really have no idea how she did it. They were wild and wouldn't listen...as usual, but you can't even tell from most of these pictures. She did awesome. Thanks Courtney!
