Maes Favorite Coaches

Also last Friday Sean, Mae and I headed out to WV district track meet. It was oh so hot, but so fun to go to a track meet. We went to the meet to support Gpa Mac and Papa Dolphin's Athletes. Who all preformed very well. I don't know all the stats but I do know that Jims (Gpa Mac) High Jumper won the event with an awesome PR.

So of course I had to take pictures of Mae and her favorite coaches. We were having fun with putting Gpa Macs shades on her. She kept making the funniest faces.

Man she looks so hot, check out her rosy cheeks. Mae is so used to being at the track with her dad. He takes her to practice with him on Thursdays and she loves it.
Mae was very interested in Papa Dolphins hat, so I had to take a picture.

I Babysat Clara

So last Friday I got to babysit Clara. I was kinda nervous cause she is so little still and I can hardly believe that Mae was once that small. It was a fun day Aria also came over cause Misty was with Gabe at Kindermusic. All us girls hung out in the backyard for most of the time because it was so nice out. and I think that its good for the babies to get the fresh air.

I tried to get a good picture of the 3 girls I think I did pretty good cause I got one with them all looking at the camera.

Here's a picture of Clara and I in the yard. Aria took the picture, Misty I think she has your talent.
After Misty and Gabe came back we headed to the park for a picnic, and some swing action to wear the kids out so they would take naps. It worked. It was an awesome, awesome day I love hanging with Aria on Fridays.

Maes First Tooth

So Maes first tooth popped through on Sunday. We had been working in the yard all morning and Sean went in to take a break and watch a track meet, while I stayed out to get a little sun and keep pulling weeds cause I was on a roll and I knew that if I stopped I would be done working. So I'm weeding away and Sean comes out and tells me that Mae has a tooth. I of course had to go in and stick my finger in her mouth (so weird the things we do) to feel where it was and there in was the right front tooth has worked its way through the gums. Needless to say she has been pretty cranky pants this last week, and I know it has only just begun because she has a whole mouth of teeth to still come in. I must say even though its so cute that shes getting teeth I love that her 6 month pics are toothless, with her big gummy smile.

I stole these pics from Mistys blog they are from Maes 6 month photo shoot. I look at them every day because I love them so much. Now I can look at both pages to see my sweet little babe.

Oh cute little kissy face!

I love her bubble butt so much. She will be mad at me one day I'm sure for how many peeps I've shown her tush to.
Gerber baby need I say more.
Probably one of my very favorite pics. She just looks so happy, and that make me so happy!

Look At Mistys Blog

Maes awesome 6 months pictures are up on Mistys blog go check them out. They are so good I love them. Thanks so much Misty you ROCK!!!!!!!

Bloomsday!!

So when I got pregnant with Mae I made myself a goal. Which was after she was out to run Bloomsday and the CDA Half Marathon. I was able to accomplish half of that goal last weekend by running Bloomsday (and the other half will be complete at the end of the month with the CDA Half). I didn't run as fast as I wanted to but I still ran 9:35 pace so I feel ok about it, and I figure that I did just have a baby 6 months ago and haven't had a regular training schedule since I had her. But it was an awesome weekend, our good friends Kevin and Erica came over and brought our other friend Dane (who flew in from China Friday morning) with them. We just spent all weekend hanging out and catching up, so fun. We even had early nights, which is unusual, but I think we all wanted to be well rested for the race so if we didn't run well we couldn't blame it on that. Even though I tried to get some sleep, Saturday night was not a good one. Mae was up a few times and then I got this awesome call from Misty at about 4:30 in the morning telling me that she had Clara a few hours before. Needless to say I did not sleep much after that so I only got about 6 hrs of sleep before the race (so I'm going to blame part of my bad time on my lack of sleep). Sunday morning I was so excited to get my run on just because it had been so long since I had done any kind of race.

Sean and Kevin Sunday morning while we were all getting ready and having a bite to eat.

Erica having her morning tea.

Here we all are before the race. It was so sunny we couldn't keep our eyes open very well. Gma Mac took the picture because she had come down to watch Mae while we were all at the race. Oh how cute its our little family before Mom and Dad went off to run. He he Mae is still in her pj's.
After the race Erica and I were all smiles. She had a really good time I think it was about 1 hr 8 or 9 min, and it was her first time ever running Bloomsday. I ran the race in 1 hr 11 mins. Sean ran in 46 min.
After the race we headed home so we could get our BBQ on.

Birthday Boy

The birthdays have begun. Niles Birthday is the start of the first birthday bashes. And it was a good way to begin, yummy food, sun, and good company.

Here's Niles in his hat (Mae is wearing it in the post before this.) He is so excited to be getting his cake. Even though he didn't know what to do with it when he got it.

Malia and Nick (mom and dad) helping him figure things out. I think he likes it.
Sugar overload, Holy Cow he looks like hes gonna crash.
After the cake I was hanging with the little man and he was helping me take pictures (mostly of himself). So here is one of his amazing self-portraits.
Finally its present time. One of the first that he opened was a pair of drumsticks. He new exactly what to do with them too it was so cute. It was an awesome party and I was so great to be able to get to celebrate with Niles.

Hey Homey

Ok so 2 weeks ago Niles turned 1 so we went to his birthday BBQ. It was so much fun at one point Sean put Niles hat on Mae and she was making some really cute faces. Like this one that says "Don't mess yo".

All smiles, I love her smiles so dang cute.

6 Month Check-Up

So Mae had her check-up this morning and it went really well. She was 15 lbs and 26 3/4 in long. So long and lean. She has been a little backed up this week but the doc said try prunes and give her more fruit in her diet to counteract all the veggies she eats. No teeth yet. The shots were awful she cried all the way through, so I had to feed her to calm her down before we left the office. Luckily Sean was home with Mae all day so they snuggled down on the couch and she slept all day. She didn't even wake up for her afternoon feeding she was that worn out. But shes feed and happy now I think I'm still at work but last I talked to Sean she seemed ok. Maybe pictures will be posted tomorrow, maybe not, sorry to be keeping you all in suspense.

Internet Is Down

So our Internet is being lame-o, thus the reason that I have not blogged in the last few days because I have a lot of news.

First off Misty had Clara a beautiful baby girl on Sunday May 4th. She is so cute I've been able to spend some time with her and she has such an amazing personality. She is very mellow (which if you know Gabe YEAH for Misty). I already posted the picture of her and Mae but I have more really cute ones that will be going up.

We also had Bloomsday on Sunday, so we had a lot of friends in town and did the race so stay tuned for pics of that too.

I promise that as soon as our Internet works again I will be mass posting. Love you all and hope all is well.

Stay Tuned...Im Annoyed...But I Love Clara!!

Ok watch out for posts tomorrow but Clara was born today YIPPIE! 9 lbs 9 oz and 21 in long. Mae loved her. I'll post more tomorrow cause my computer was being dumb and its 1 in the morning and I need to go to bed. We LOVE you Clara!!!!!
