Ready to GO

Wonderful first day at our FHTM Convention. We arrived in Dallas this afternoon, dined with very dear friends, mixed, mingled, and are completely exhausted! We start training & celebrating tomorrow at 9am. Can't wait!

I'll leave you with some pictures of what Kennedy has been up to while she spends time with her Grandpa & Deanie. More updates tomorrow!

*did you see the outside of the Omni hotel? So cool!

Gotta Run

I miss my old blog title. I think I ran more when I had "Gotta Run" as my blog name :)

I've committed myself to a training program for the fall and am very excited! I know. I know! I said I was enjoying NOT training but I've got this real competitive bone in my body that says I should just go for it! I've set a goal on my RunKeeper app and written my training plan on my calendar. I completed week 1 of training today and feel great! I've been wanting to run the New Braunfels Chosen: Marathon for Adoption for the last few years and now I am going to do it (well the half)!
Wish me luck!

19 Months Old

From Daddy:
You warm my heart every time you call for me.
You make me laugh when you make your animal sounds and when you talk to yourself in the back of the car nonstop.
I love rocking you to sleep and when we play fetch with Belle.

From Mommy:
You warm my heart when you want to brush my hair after I brush yours after bath.
You make me laugh all day! My favorite time is at night before bed when you start kissing me and tickling me. You are so sweet!
I love how sweet you are and that you want to pick out your clothes. You always want people to have shoes on also.

Food: you enjoy strawberries, bananas, avocados, watermelon, broccoli, applesauce, goldfish, cheese, eggs, waffles, pancakes, and cookies. You still drink milk 3 times a day but the doctor said you only need it twice a day so we will work on that. You love your milk and go to the fridge and ask for it. So cute! You love ice water too! If someone gives you water without ice you immediately sign "more" and ask for ice. 

Play: you love to go on walks around the block and insist on NOT taking the wagon. You run and climb and say, "jump" but can't get your feet off the ground yet. You love to dance and spin around in circles. Your favorite toy right now is your VTech and you love the Around the House book that goes with it. 

You talk all the time and point and growl if you can't figure out what to say for an object. On Thursday you said, "love you" for the first time and it just melted our hearts. 

We love you too Kennedy Kate and can't wait to see what this fall holds for our family! 



Pictures taken today after church. So precious!

Saturday Drive

Today we drove 364 miles round trip to Montgomery, TX and back for a meeting for our team. Eight guests were there to see how they can get paid back on their bills every month and 2 got started! So excited for Tammy and also for new Regional Sales Manager Henry Boyle who is a sweet and hard working 71 year old man committed to being able to help better his family financially. Never think that someone is too old or too shy or too tall or short to change something in their life. It's the heart that counts! What a fun day!

Click http://www.fhtmdvd.com for more info on how you can earn up to 25% on your bills every month and help others do the same. So fun! September 21st will be our 5th year in FHTM and we are so blessed to be a part of this!

Here's a pic of what we sang to on our drive. I love me some George!

Crazy Week Catch Up

Next week is our company convention so things have been hectic around here. My week looked like this:

Cuddles on the couch with this girly girl! 



Words of affirmation from dearly loved friends!

Breakfast for supper! TRY the strawberry strudel waffles by EGGO..no really try 'em!


Walks around the block with our very independent toddler. 



Planning (and in some cases buying) outfits for our convention. This is me at target during tax free weekend. I scored both the top and the skirt for a total of $18! I'm still loving the bangs too! 


Here is another picture of Kennedy walking. Don't y'all just love INSTAGRAM!?


Movies galore! This little thing requests, RELLA (Cinderella to clarify) a lot but also has been enjoying the Jungle book.

I'll be back in a few days for Kennedy Kate's 19 month birthday! Can't believe how fast time is flying! 

Are y'all ready for back to school? What are you most looking forward to this year?

School Days

Beginning on September 5th Kennedy will be going to the Mother's Day Out program at our church called Kingdom Kids Weekday or KKW on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9-2. I am so excited for her! Next Tuesday will be our first ever meet the teacher night and we couldn't be more excited! Thank you Lord for this sweet blessing and thank you Lord for my sister-in-law Kelly who has blessed Kennedy with a new back pack and lunch box! Aren't they just the sweetest little things?!
Fun times ahead for sure!
