It's My Party I'll Have Fun If I Want Too!

Well Ive been 28 for almost a month now, and nothing has changed except that in 2 years I will be 30 YIKES! Lets not talk about that though. I had a fun night for my special day. Sean and I actually went on a date, then we met up with friends and just hung out and danced.

Mari and I, I Love her! I was so excited when her and Jason decided to come out.

The girls Katie, Me, Grace, Mari. We were all super hot that night!
The boys Rick, Jason, Sean, Blake. It was a fun time had by all!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Learning The Craft Of Car Washing

Sean is very serious about his car washing, thus he has been teaching Mae the finer points so he can have a helper who knows what shes doing. She is taking in the view of the washing from the Car she was given by our neighbors.

Getting out to go help.
Helping Sean dry it like a pro.

Katie & Blakes New Casa

Our good friends Katie and Blake just moved into their first house this month, Mae and I headed over to help Katie wash the walls to get ready for painting. Mae was quite the helper.

Scrub a dub the wall yo!
I think she is thinking "hey mom put the camera down and help me".

Blake mowing the lawn for the first time.

Ta-Da, final room and were done......I would like to add that yes I did help wash the walls. I did the top half and Katie did the bottom half :)

Track NWAACC '09

NWAACC Championships were so much fun. Mae and I always have a good time going to the track and watching all the athletes. Mae is quite the little supporter, cheering and clapping the whole time.

Mae and Linda. Linda will one day teach Mae how to hurdle so that she doesn't have a fear of them like me.

Mae and her friend Zela (they are little track buddies, her mom is one of Seans old athletes).

The Amazing Distance Coaching Crew! Their kids did so amazing at championships and scored 106 points all together (which would have scored 3 place over all). Both the boys team and girls teams won this year.

One of the best parts is at the end of the meet all the athletes try to get the coaches with Ice Water. I usually get in on it myself by collecting all the cell phones and letting the athletes know its good to go. They really caught Sean off guard this year with a sneak attack right at the end. It was amazing.

I love this picture, I think it just shows his pure happiness and surprise. Love you Sean Awesome Coaching!

CuzMac

We got to hang with Emmett a few weeks back and it was so much fun. He is getting really interactive, Mae of course loved that and I loved that I didn't feel like she was going to break him in half when they played.

Here is Mae teaching Emmett the fine art of pestering Gpa Mac.

I love her protective arm around him.
He says get off cuz.

Splish Splash

Every kid has to have this picture don't they?

Cd'a Half

What can I say this was a month ago and I really can not believe that I did as well as I did. I went for a run this morning and man was I tired. The half was awesome though, I finished in my goal time of breaking 1hr 50min by 1 minute, 1hr 49min. I was stoked for the last mile knowing that I was going to do it!

Running it in for the finish (which was much better then last years dumb finish). It was so hot I couldn't keep my "I am Jason Cash" shirt on :( sad but ok.

Mae and Sean did a great job supporting Katie and I. It was nice this year because Mae was actually awake to see me finish. She even cheers its so cute. After the race I asked her what mommy just did and she said "run fast, mommy run". Then she would say the same about Katie. I think the girl has it figured out.
Dynamic Duo after the race. I had a few other friends run also, you can see Jayne in the background. She also rocked it out, I think her time was like 1hr 44min, she is insane and amazing.

Tomato face! More like overheated and dehydrated from it being so blasted hot.

Tonight

So this is how bedtime went tonight.....

Maes diaper is off
Toot toot toot (Mae farting)
She looks up "poo?"

I say "do you have to poo? Want to go on the toilet?"

Mae " ok."

We head to the bathroom and stick her on the toilet for a few minutes.
And what do you know she pees.

Lots of cheering follows!

We are just in the very early stages of potty training buy she seems
very interested. So I think that once in the morning and once at night
we are going to stick her on the toilet and see how it goes.

Watching Narnia, Eating Spaghetti

Last Sunday "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" was on TV so Mae and I ate dinner on the floor. Of course I choose the messiest thing I could find, Spaghetti and Meatballs. She did a great job not being to messy.

She was really into the movie, she wouldn't even look at me when I was trying to take a picture.

Nope still didnt want to look.

She was cleaning up her mess when she was all done eating. Im trying to teach her young :)

A Year And A Half

Time has flown like crazy. We are in the middle of track season already and Mae is 1 1/2. She is growing like crazy, saying new words everyday. Today she even said pedicure (crazy I know). We have been going to lots of track meets and she loves them. She sits there and watches all the athletes, saying "run, go, fast" its super cute.

We had her 1 1/2 Dr. appt last Monday. She is still long and lean, 21.7 lbs (12%), 33 in (83%). Even though she is tall she still looks so tiny compared to all the other kids her age, its pretty cute though because she can hold her own. The Doc says she is doing great, and is really strong. I got a cream for her eczema and its finally going away, and she has mild hernia but that should get better over time. So all in all she is awesome and healthy.

Things she loves, dirt, shoes, her blankies (only in the last week has she had this crazy attachment to them), grapes, Strawberries, sweeping, balls, running on the track (we are teaching her starts its so cute), bike rides (she could go every day), dogs (heaven forbid), reading (when she reads out loud to herself its crazy cute), and being outside (when its nice out its all she wants to do.
