MS 150

Chris finished his third MS 150 yesterday! Here are some pictures from the weekend!

Day One
This is the start in Frisco. There were over 4,000 riders in this year's event! It was freezing and very, very windy!

This is at the finish line at Texas Motor Speedway. At the end of day one, Chris rode 86.1 miles!Day Two
The day started at TMS and ended in Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth. At the end of day two, Chris rode 74.3 miles! From left to right: Alan, Chris, Laralynn and Keith

Happy May Day!


Here are some pictures from McKenna's field trip to the Botanical Gardens in Fort Worth. I hadn't been there since Chris and I had our engagement pictures taken there-about 10 years ago! It was beautiful! And all of the kids had a great time!







Saturday is the MS 150 Frisco to Fort Worth! Chris has been training really hard. A big thanks to everyone that has supported him and in finding a cure for MS. And its still not too late to donate! Every little bit helps! So keep Chris in your thoughts and prayers this weekend that it will be a safe and fun ride! I hope to post pictures from the ride next week!

Have a great weekend!

Busy!

We have been super busy! Brent, Nicole and Callie were here last week-and we all had a great time! The girls always have so much fun together! We ate at Pappasito's(a given when Nicole is here and my fav!), went to Build-a- Bear, celebrated Grampy's birthday and just hung out! It just went by so quickly!
Chris rode on Sunday-it was very windy. Only a few more weeks until the MS 150! I'm not sure if he will start riding in the evening as well..? This is his 3rd year to ride and it is always an amazing event! We make it a little bit of a getaway too. Since it begins super early, and in Frisco-a world away from us-we drive over Friday evening and eat dinner, spend the night at a hotel, then get up for the ride the next am. All while my folks keep the girls. After the start, I head back, gather our stuff and make my way back home. The half-way stop is at TMS, about 8-10 miles from our house, so the girls and I go and sit at the finish line. And on Sunday, they ride from TMS up close to Decatur and finish in downtown Fort Worth. It really is an awesome event and a super way to raise money to find a cure for MS!
Caris cut her hair yesterday. It must be a rite of passage-McKenna did the same thing around this same age-took a big chunk out of the middle of her bangs! Fortunately, with her hair, it was hard for me to even see where Caris had cut it! I just saw pieces of hair on the floor! It scared me because today is Picture Day at school-of course. But where Caris did cut goes up when I put her bow in...so no biggie.
I planted flowers yesterday and finished up today. It is supposed to rain today and tomorrow, so I'm glad I got them in! Guess that's all for now-have a great day!

**Oh and mark your calendar for May 2-3-there will be big happenings over at SO for National Scrapbooking Day!! Too bad for me since this is the same weekend as the MS150, but I still hope to get some time in scrapping!

After a break...

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! We spent time with our families, went to see Horton Hears a Who, went to the Mavs game (they lost) and drove down to Glen Rose to Dinosaur Valley. We had a great time, climbing and exploring. The girls thought it was great, especially McKenna. Here are some pictures...







Here's a LO that I completed during the awesome SO crop. It was so much fun and I got alot done. Yea!

I'll post some Easter pictures after I get a chance to download them. The girls had a great time with Camry and Adi, hunting Easter eggs and just having a great time together!
Have a great day!

It's Friday!

And so begins Spring Break! I'm thinking about taking the girls to see the new Horton movie either next Monday or Tuesday, since it is supposed to rain. Chris is off next Thursday and Friday. We are headed to the Mavericks' game Thursday night. I'm excited because I haven't been to a game at the AAC. The girls are going to be entertaining Gram and Grampy that evening.
It's hard to believe that Easter is just about a week away. It's early this year! I went and bought candy for the girls' baskets yesterday. I'm hoping for a nice Easter...it was so cold last year! The girls didn't get to wear their Easter dresses until a few weeks later.
We are also looking forward to a visit from out Florida family! Nicole, Callie and Brent are coming at the end of the month-the girls are so excited to see their cousin!
Hope everyone has a great weekend-head over to Simply Obsessed...the big crop starts today!!

What is this foreign substance??


Oh, its called snow! And seriously, it coming down hard. We usually only get snow once a year and this is it. Honestly, I've never seen flakes this big-and I was in Iowa in January! Of course, about an inch of ice/slush is already covering the roads, so we can pretty much count on two things: no school and lots and lots of program interruptions to update us, you know that its snowing outside. I love the weather updates! Chris thinks that he could do just a good a job as the certified meteorologists-you know just taking a guess-haha. When McKenna and I went to pick up Caris, there were a total of 3 kids remaining in her class.
Just wanted to share some Texas weather with everyone!!
