I have forgotten about you, dear blog

How is it already March??? How did that happen???

Well, since September, when I last updated my blog, the following things happened...

Noah started kindergarten in the fall!!! And he's lost 2 teeth since September...he's growing up too fast!
Noah's first day of kindergarden, Fall 2012
First tooth lost, Fall 2012. He lost it at school after numerous bribes and attempts at pulling it so it wouldn't fall out without the tooth fairy being able to take it from under his pillow. I think he got like $75 for the tooth. 
Noah and his buddies at school. Little men.
Cameron turned 2 and for his birthday in October we went to Disneyland with my side of the family...granny, pappaw, cousin Emma and Nathan and aunt Amber...then we went a few more gazillion times. No really, at least 5 since October. We also celebrated Noah's 6th birthday (WHAT? how did that happen???) at Disneyland in February and stayed at Paradise Pier, one of the Disneyland hotels. It was AWESOME and the boy's loved it. Disney does it up right!

You know it's a good day when the big kids pass out!

Boys in bed together at Noah's birthday watching Mater's Tall Tales (their fave cartoon right now). First time Cameron had been in a big boy bed too. Noah said he was a bed hog. 
Trained for and ran the Rock 'n Roll Las Vegas half marathon in early December. A week before fractured my right ankle...didn't know it was fractured until AFTER the race, and still ran it (taped it up REALLY good, but at about mile 5 I was DYING). At that point, I started power walking and running...The last 2 races I did I ran the whole thing, but there was no way I could during this one. At mile 8 I contemplated stopping in downtown Las Vegas for a cheap buffet.

I've been working to rehab my ankle (on my own) and I'm finally able to run about 3'ish miles outside/on treadmill again without pain.
Gimpy fo' so'! Testing out my tape job pre-race.

Might as well have cute (flat) shoes even if you have a busted ankle!
Me, on the left in the pink and obnoxious skirt, and my friends Jamie and Arlene. Both are cray cray...Arlene just had a baby less than a year old when this picture was taken and Jamie didn't train at all and just decided to run it with us. When in Vegas...right???
This was pre-race, in the elevator, poppin' Red Bull. This is before I wanted to die.
Actually dressed up and going out to dinner with the hubs...this was in the lobby of the Wynn. Oh, and my hair isn't in it's usual ponytail. 
Since I wasn't running, and since I'm the family chauffeur now that the boys are both in school and in countless activities including t-ball and soccer, I gained 10-15'ish pounds (depending on the day). SIGH :( I will not be posting a picture of this gained poundage.

The boys have entered the "I love you so much" and then "I hate you so much" phase. They get along SO well, and then they fight, well, like brothers. Cameron even has clocked Noah with a plastic golf club or two. Sounds like me and the hubs :-) Just kidding!!!

And lastly, I celebrated my 20-15 (read: 35th) birthday at the end of February.

I think that's all, folks. Talk at ya soon! (And one last picture, just for the cuteness quotient)
