Indy 500 Mini Marathon

So I finished my first 1/2 marathon it was such a great experience! I can't wait to run it again next year! We left on Friday and stayed the night. The boys sure had a blast swimming

Then we back to the room to have baths and eat room service. I needed some pasta for energy in the morning! This is me about 30 min after the race. It took Matt and I awhile to find eachother! Timmy, Emmett and I Our little family!

Got Milk!

Recipe for big huge Porter messes as Tim likes to call them.
First Tim gets a sippy cup
Then he gets the milk out of the fridge
Then teaches Porter (who is 18 months) how to pour his own sippy cup
Last Tim runs to mommy and tells me that "Porter has made a big huge mess" (with his arms stretched out really big)

So then I come down and this is what I find....


notice the little milk footprints! Merry is very happy...


So I start to clean up and the fist thing I do is take of the milk drenched clothes.....Then he decides to lay down and drink the milk on his tummy... Yuck and Gross! He's all done and ready for his shower. I thought it was funny to see the milk dripping off of him... It's amazing how much can happen while I'm feeding Emmett or going to the bathroom or talking on the phone. I guess if I do anything other than stay and play and supervise then I get a big huge Porter mess.

Of course Tim thinks he's perfect and never has any part in the big huge Porter mess. But we all remember the first and second steps Tim got the sippy cup and the milk out! I'm so glad they have eachother!

Good Weather and Quality Dad Time!

While I've been excercising/training at night Matt gets to spend some great quality time with the boys! I just found this picture he took last Tuesday. So cute to see all the boys together! Emmett is so funny anytime Matt holds him this is what he does. He leans back and just stares at his dad. I can just tell he is thinking my dad is the most awesome dad ever!

Emmett's smile! So sweet... he is such a great little baby!

For those of you who know Tim know that he loves swimsuits and shorts. So as the weather has been getting nicer he is always outside in his shorts. He takes his shirt off as soon as he's outside and says "Super Timmy" it's so hilarious! It's not even that warm maybe the 60's but, he doesn't care it's not freezing, windy or snowy!

Porter with his goaloshes and sand bucket! He loves to take pictures, he says "Cheese" and they turn out so cute! He is growing up so fast.
