The day Ryan turned as old as I am:)  Happy Birthday to our favorite daddy and husband ever!  Ryan is everything I am not and much, much more.  Forty looks good on him - still no gray hair in sight!  CRazY!

 The fourth annual Trot To Adopt 5K was held on Saturday.  We were honored to be selected as one of three families who will benefit from this event. $50,000+ was raised!

 Maddox wasted no time at all finding a friend - they danced and twirled and tried to keep warm.

 Did I mention it was FReezINg?!  The wind was blowing all over the place, the air was less than chilly....despite these challenging conditions, the field was packed with support and we were beyond thankful for each person who braved the cold to be there for our family!

 The teen years for boys is interesting and I am picking my battles in some areas.....one specific area is clothing.  My boys have NO idea the meaning of the word COLD.  So, dressed in shorts they went.  We were so proud of both of them.....the course is tough, lots of hills, steep hills.  Colin was 2 minutes behind the winner of his age group.  

 And these two!  These guys stuck together the entire 5K....they walked, they ran, they chatted the entire time.  I love their friendship!

***P decided that being warm might be a good idea so he then put on an entire outfit over his shorts!
