Nana and Papa visit

Nana and Papa came to visit for a few days. We had a great time while they were here, and Bennett especially loved all of the extra attention!


Papa, Brandon and I took Bennett to her first movie! Toy Story 3...we all loved it and Bennett was a really good girl through the whole thing!

"Team Grandpa!"


Bennett decided to use Lorie's fabric to make "dresses" for Nana and her

Bennett and Papa just played and played and played! We got out trains and matchbox cars to spare Papa from castle and dress-ups for awhile!

Rice Cereal

Miles tried rice cereal for the first time yesterday. Boy did he make some faces! Here are a couple pictures from the cereal adventure...

Here we go!
I don't know about this stuff...
Mom, are you sure I'm supposed to like this?

Okay, I've decided...I'm NOT a fan!!

Happy 4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July weekend! We just got back tonight from Innsbrook. We had a great weekend full of swimming, boating, fishing, laying out, the annual party at the Davidsons, and then the awesome Innsbrook fireworks. This year, we put Miles to sleep, and Grandma and Pa stayed at the house with him, while Bennett, Brandon and I took the golf cart over to a better vantage point for the fireworks. Bennett really enjoyed them this year. She thought most of them were "tutu shapes," but also especially liked the ones that were actually shapes like smiley faces, stars and hearts. She was pretty sure that she saw one that was a glass slipper shape too! ha She also loved shouting out all of the different firework colors. We had a great little bonding time just with Bennett for the fireworks. Today, after Brandon and I went for a run on the trails, we took Bennett over to the beach and she had a lot of fun playing in the sand and swimming. Miles also did well sleeping and napping in the pack and play. A very successful holiday weekend for sure! Here are a couple of pictures of the kids in their holiday attire. We have a cute family picture that is on Mom's camera, so we'll have to post that later.

Connection Run 5K

Today I completed my first post-Miles 5K. I did the Kirkwood-Webster Connection Run 5K this morning. I've done this race a few times now and it's one of my favorites because it's so close to home and there are a lot of down hills! My friend Mona (this was also her first race back post-baby) and I stuck together the whole time, and it was great because she pushed me to run faster than I expected to, especially in the brutally hot conditions! I was really happy with my result time of 27:10 for being my first 5K back. Also, it was great to have some spectators. Mom and Dad surprised me by being along the race course. They were waiting at the top of a hill, so it was just the pick up I needed! Also, Brandon and the kids were close to the finish line. It was great to hear Bennett yelling, "Go Mommy Go!" :) Of course, we had to celebrate by going out to breakfast afterwards with Mona, Drew and Cecelia. All in all, a successful day!

5 months old!

Miles is 5 months today! He is also starting to sit up well on his own. He still tips, but he is getting sturdier every day! I'm not sure why his hair looks really red in these pictures, but it's really brown.
