Wordless Wednesday!

So Much To Catch Up On.....

I know it has been a long time. Life seems to get busier by the day and most days I feel like I need another 6 hours in my day to get everything done. It's crazy to me that I haven't updated since November. There is so much that needs to be caught up. This post will be all about catching up and I promise, from now on, I will TRY to stay on top of my blogging. So here goes...

JUSTIN

We had some VERY exciting news in January! Justin got the head football coaching job at the new high school in town! Battle High School will open in August of 2013, so he still has another year at Rock Bridge before he will start teaching and coaching there, but the journey has already begun! We went for a tour of Battle High back in February and let me just say....this school is AMAZING!!! You can check out the pictures I posted on Facebook HERE. The tour was for Justin to see the setup in the weight room and for all of the football storage. He is currently working on ordering all of the weight room equipment and football equipment. If you haven't already seen it, there was a really nice article written about Justin in the Columbia Daily Tribune. You can read that story HERE! We are so proud of Justin and we are excited to be Battle High Spartans!!

In other news, Justin had a birthday in December. He turned 31! We celebrated by having a birthday party at his parents house and then went out with some friends to celebrate a different night. Justin is currently getting ready to start mowing season again. Ugh. While we love (and need) the money from the mowing business, I don't think either of us is ready for mowing to start again. It's really hard on all of us because he is gone so much until school gets out for the summer.

JESSI

I have been busy the last few months. About the time I stopped blogging is when I started working out and running. Since November I have lost 28 pounds!! I'm working out a couple of days a week and also running 3-5 days a week as well. I signed up for my first 5k race that I will be doing this Saturday, St. Patricks Day! When I first started running it was a goal to run a 5k this year, but I didn't expect to be doing it so early in the year! I am excited about the race and a little nervous now that it's getting so close. I'm not in it to win it though....I'm in it to finish it!

Aside from running, I have been busy with Scentsy parties! I'm loving the extra money I am making and, of course, I get some cheap Scentsy for myself as well! If anyone is interested in having a party, let me know! This month there is a new catalog and new scents! The only other things going on with me: My birthday is Friday!! I'm trying to figure out what to do to celebrate! I'm also gearing up to get some spring cleaning done and get ready for a garage sale that we are having on April 6th and 7th. My life isn't all that exciting!

KENLEY

Kenley turned 6 back in November and we celebrated by having a 'Purplicious' party at Flipz. Many of her new friends from school came to her party and a fun time was had by all! She might have only turned 6 years old on her last birthday, but I swear she has the attitude of a 16 year old! Kenley is enjoying kindergarten and has been learning so much! Sometimes she amazes me with the things that she knows! She is writing really well now and has started to read on her own as well! In February she won the 'Distinguished Dragon' award for her grade! She's making lots of new friends, learning lots of new things & having a lot of fun in kindergarten! Aside from school, she is busy with dance and will soon start coach pitch softball. She lost her first tooth about a month ago and has another one that should be out soon (there is another tooth behind it already)! Our cat, Max has really taken to her over the last several months. He snuggles with her every night and I often take pictures of the two of them when they are sleeping!

KASON

Kason has a birthday coming up soon! It's hard to believe my boy is almost 3 years old!! He's grown up so much and so fast it brings tears to my eyes. We are planning a 'Lightening McQueen' party at the park, per Kason's request! He is still enjoying preschool and has made lots of new friends there. He always tells me about the little boys that he plays with and about Bobby (owner/teacher). He's learned a lot of new things like songs, colors, shapes, etc. He got a scooter for Christmas and he has finally mastered riding it. He will whip around on it and can now push it with either foot. He also hops on it and rides it after he gets going (this took a while for him to realize)! Kason loves Tito and Tito LOVES Kason. You can often find the two of them rolling around on the floor together. Kason is sure to smell really bad after being licked and licked and licked and licked!

So, as you can tell, there isn't a dull moment at our house! We have stayed really busy and will be even more busy once Justin starts mowing again. I'll try to catch up on some of the pictures as time allows (ha!!).
