"Hoppy" Easter!

Easter was so much fun this year (as always)!  Of course, it was extremely busy, but we wouldn't trade any second of it!  We went to Mammaw Nancy's to hunt eggs and cook out on Saturday afternoon, and on Sunday, we went to church, then to Uncle Chase's house for lunch, then Mammaw Carroll's for supper!!  Emma LOVES hunting eggs, and had such a great time hunting eggs with her cousins! 

Of course the Easter Bunny came to see the girls first thing Sunday morning!

Emma running and Madi crawling to the living room to see their Easter baskets!

Madi got an activity walker and a soft LaLa Loopsy doll!

Emma got a note from the Easter Bunny b/c he said he forgot to pack her puppy purse she asked for, but would mail it to her next week! ;)

Emma got a Strawberry Shortcake remote control car and another Strawberry Shortcake figurines!

We try to get some good family pictures each year at Easter!  BUT that gets more difficult each time with these kiddos!!

HAPPY EASTER!!

Run Forrest Run!!

In order to TRY and shed those extra baby pounds, I started doing the Couch to 5K in September!!  I have really enjoyed getting into running and it has definitely helped me lose some weight...since I don't even know the meaning of the word "diet!"  My mom has been running for a year and a half, so we decided this Spring, we would do some 5ks together!  FBC Tupelo hosted the Ressurrection Run this morning and LoLo and I did GREAT!!  Chase also decided to run with us!!  Mom and I had hoped to complete it in 35 minutes, and I ran it in 31 minutes 24 seconds and mom did 34 minutes and 49 seconds!!  GO US!! Chase thought a 5k wouldn't be challenging enough, so he decided to push Thomas (an extra 40 pounds)!  And since I beat him, he of course used that as an excuse! :)

Madi and Emma cheered us on!

This is me finishing strong!  (Excuse how I look...I am definitely not one of those "pretty" runners!)

LoLo nearing the finish line!

Thomas even ran the last little bit to the finish line!

We were very proud of ourselves and are planning on doing another next Saturday!
