COLD Spring Day

What happened to the 80 degree weather we had earlier in the week?  Cooper had his first soccer game of the spring session and it was 33 degrees this morning!!! He did great despite the temperatures!

Reagan was so cold, she couldn't get out from under the fleece blanket!

 Cooper loves to play defense and goalie

Cooper's team won 5-3

For our 2nd cold activity of the day, Cooper went to a birthday party for a friend...Flag-football!  This was his first time to play and he had so much fun.  I on the other hand was freezing!

 Ooops...I don't think he was supposed to tackle

 He also got to play center

For our third cold activity of the day, the Girl Scouts had an ice skating party tonight.  Reagan couldn't wait to go show off her skills!

Thursday Happenings

I picked Reagan up after school today to take her to her Girl Scout meeting.  But, we had a little extra time, so Reagan went for a haircut!

 it doesn't look like much, but almost 4 inches was cut off!

 At their meeting, the girls had to present the strip they had made telling about stereotyping

Our Lucky Day

Reagan had a lucky day...she found a 4-leaf clover all by herself!!  She and Cooper were so excited!!

lucky day - she said she wished she had looked in that spot on St Patrick's Day!

 We continued our warm weather walking (or scootering) around the local park

The family that walks together, sweats together!

Scooters and Soccer

We absolutely love this time of year!  Cooper has finally learned how to ride his scooter with one foot and Reagan has been a pro on her scooter for a while now.

 Spring soccer began tonight as well.  Practice were to have started 2 weeks ago, but with all the bad weather we've had recently it's been delayed.

Cooper picked up right where he left off in the winter session

Ice Cream Truck

For the first time this year, the ice cream truck made its appearance in our neighborhood.  The kids squealed with delight and ran to get their hard-earned allowance money!

So happy the weather is warm!

Riding Around Again

Another beautiful day, another night around the track, another 2.5 miles!

 I just now realized just how short I am compared to Greg!

Scootin' Around

Since this was the first warm, non-raining day we'd had in forever, we took the kids to a local park and walked or scooted around the track.  We ended up walking 2.5 miles!

ready for spring

 cute kids!

 fun family time!

The Lucky Kidney 2015

Today Greg, Reagan & I took part in the Lucky Kidney 6k race (we only did the 2k, but who's counting).  The weather wasn't the best, but we finished!

 we crossed the finish line around the 21 minute mark, but it took a little bit to get her to agree to get her picture made!

 we ran a few errands and Reagan kept exercising!
