Go on.....be jealous.....

I love the fact that my kids know me so well. It really warms my heart to see just how much they pay attention to their Mama...For instance, this past week Boogie filled out a questionnaire all about his...ahem...AMAZING mother. Well let me just tell you the kid gets an A+ in my book! Let me tell you just how observant he is...


{definitely keeping this declaration of love! }

My mom weighs this much...13 (love love love this answer!)
My mom's birthday is on....Saturday (every few years!)
My mom was born in a...bed (see, the kids a genius!)
My mom's favorite food is...fruit (covered in chocolate!)
My mom likes to help me...play Legos (I HATE legos. kid is delusional)
My mom is the best at...pick up poo (ughhhhh....WHAT?!)

PICKING UP POO?!?!

THAT IS MY LEGACY!?

Apparently the kid is impressed with my pooper scooper skills. I know you thought YOU were the best poo picker upper in town, but sorry folks, that title belongs to me. Better luck next year suckers!

I mean who wants their kids to remember them for their culinary skills, cake decorating amazingness, or loving personality when they can admire the way you wield a glove and plastic bag?! I'm just going to go ahead and add that to my list of talents...right next to 'Best butt wiper' and 'Best cleaner-outer of underwear racing stripes'.

Go on. Be jealous.

The best part of all of this? I'm not even the one that picks up the poo! HA! Jordan handles that dirty doo-ty! But I'll still take the credit.

Happy Wednesday Amigos!

13.1 miles...hot to trot biznatches

It. Was. AWESOME!!!!

If you would have asked me a year ago if I thought that running for 2 hours straight sounded like fun, you would have been answered with a resounding EFF TO THE NO!

But....maybe I'm a little crazy....this last weekend it was a ton of fun! The girls and I woke up at the buttcrack of dawn and headed out to the race site. The energy there was amazing! People were pumped, excitement was high, and the port o potties were FULL! Apparently there were a bunch of folks with the runner's trots. Blech. (But luckily for me, my bowels were on good behavior and made it all the way through the race without complaining)

And 2 hours 6 minutes and 28 seconds later we crossed that finish line!! I was PUMPED to make such good time...my goal was under 10 minute miles the whole way and I DID IT! This is the part where I get cheesy....ok...it was an amazing experience training with 3 of my closest friends and to get to that finish line and see Jordan and the kids cheering me on was one of the proudest moments of my life. Seriously made me so emotional!! Ok....I'm done with the sentimental crap...here, look at pictures!

{Me and Eliza just steps away from the finish line! I would suck at the Baywatch run...}


{Eliza, Queso, Ashley, and Breanne...pure awesomeness}


{My #1 fan, Little Miss P, trying to gaffle my medal. 2:06:28...official!}


So....anybody wanna do another half marathon??? I'm ready!!
I'm serious...
Courtney...this means YOU!

Have an awesome weekend Amigos!!!
