This and That

The running goal is still going strong. Ben is a machine at running and I need to get my but on that treadmill. In all fairness I haven't stopped going to the gym, in fact I have up'd my time and workouts. But unfortunately it doesn't count in our miles :(. Today I am taking a much needed day off from the gym. It feels weird, I have been going everyday for the past 3 weeks. I feel like I am cheating or something, like I need to pull the shades and hide so nobody knows I am really home sitting on my ass doing nothing. But then I go to lift my arms or walk the stairs and the pain sets in and I remember that I totally kicked ass yesterday. So a day off is much needed here.

I wish I could stay home and be lazy with my little peanut the day before her BIG day but we can't. Chloe and I along with another friend have a lot of work to get done today. At the beginning of the year I signed up to co-chair fundraising for the PTA with my friend. It has been an adventure and very eye opening. We have been working on our newest fundraiser "Wild Life Encounters" its actually a very cool program and the easiest way to explain it is its a traveling zoo. We are getting very excited and nervous as the date gets closer. This has the potential to be a HUGE event and we are praying that it all goes off smoothly. So today we are doing some leg work and visiting all the Preschools in the neighboring towns to spread the word. We have lots of flyer's to hang and lots of speaking to do. Hopefully Chloe is in a great mood for all this fun stuff today!!! She is usually very good with these kind of things and just loves our meetings ;)

The boys are doing great! School and Soccer as usual. We are at our max with soccer right now but they want more. Last Saturday we spent about 5 hours at Seacoast and that was more then enough for me. At 815pm I couldn't hit the door fast enough. Both boys teams are undefeated at 6-0. They are pretty amazing. Noah's team is on FIRE and getting a pretty good name for themselves. They kids are all amazing and such great kids, the parents rock as well. We are super lucky that Ben has such an amazing team to coach. And Noah is turning into a pretty amazing goalie, he loves it! He was on fire last weekend with some amazing saves! It was so awesome to watch his little face light up with every stop and goal. Bryce is doing awesome as well. He is by far the youngest on his team and working on learning positions and the game and he does great with it. He turns it up on Wed. when he gets to practice with Noah's team. He can really hold his own out there with those 8 year olds and doesn't back down. Of course it makes me very nervous. But we are already starting to talk about Baseball!!!! That's right Baseball season is right around the corner and looks like Dad will be coaching both boys this year!!! This makes me very happy :D

Ben is busy busy busy as usual. Lots of studying to do, miles to run and schools to attend. Along with being Husband, Daddy, Coach, Sports star and saving lives. I don't know how he does it. He is amazing and I am a super lucky gal!

Chloe is growing up way too fast! Tomorrow she will be 2!!!!!! She acts like she is 5 and ready for school. We had to graduate her to a toddler bed a few weeks ago. She loves it. I have tossed around the "potty training" word as well. She does go on the big potty here and there and I think she is ready but I am not. She is one lucky little girl growing up here in Hampton with such amazing people. She has so many people that just love her to pieces its amazing.

Awww. We love and miss you guys!

I wouldn't be surprised if Chloe potty trained soon. Skyler was trained when she was two. She just wanted to do what everyone else was doing.

Yay for soccer and good grades. What great boys you have!
