Little Rock Color Run 5K!

Last weekend I ran in the Color Run 5K in Little Rock!

It was a blast and it was nice to get away for 24 hours for some girl time!

Kraig kept the kids and even though Taylor was on a bottle strike, she did eat (some) and they all survived and had fun with daddy while I was gone.

Thanks babe for letting me get away and recharge!  It felt great!

Sock party

They said the color could stain your hair for a few days especially if you have light colored hair...so I wore a shower cap around my ponytail to minimize the color.

My time

Look Who Made the Paper!

Got Milk?

Lets just say I'm a blessed woman!

That's 8 gallon sized ziplock bags full of Taylor's milk that I have stored up from July-September.  Before I left for Vegas I had 170 ounces inside the house for Kraig to use while I was gone and the 8 bags outside were never even touched and I still had around 50 oz left inside when I got home.  I currently have around 500 oz of milk stored up and pump around 21-23 oz a day at work.  Taylor is currently drinking 12 oz (on a great day) or less at daycare so as of right now, I have an extra month of milk stored up for daycare use (42 days of drinking 12 oz at daycare).  :-)

Thank you Lord for giving me the means to do this!

Las Vegas Girls Trip

This past weekend I got to get away for a short girls trip to Vegas with Jen!  Our husbands are going to Costa Rica later this year on a fishing trip so about 6 months ago Jen and I started talking about taking a girls trip since they guys were taking a guys trip.  We decided on Vegas!  We stayed at the Mirage Hotel which was a first for both of us and it was wonderful!  We enjoyed pool time with adult drinks, walks up and down the strip, shopping, seeing Amy Schumer (comedian) at the Riveria and Cirque Du Soleil show "O" which was amazing, the animal habitat at the Mirage and a nice romantic dinner with a view at Eiffel Tower..oh wait!  LOL

Breakfast at BB King's BBQ joint in our hotel

Lunch at Carnegie Deli (this was half of the sandwich that Jen and I split!)

Miami Vices by the pool

So Jen and I LOVE to play Wheel of Fortune in Vegas.  The last time we went together we won $1100 on the big Wheel of Fortune machine!  We were a little sad to find out that all the hotels had taken out the big wheels and replaced them with the smaller electronic versions.  Jen and I found our 'lucky' machine and one of the winning spins came up with 'Arkansas' as the word we won on so I of course had to take a picture!  We didn't win like we did several years ago but we had a great time!

(3000 = $30.00 on this machine)

White Sangria (don't worry...we were sweating so much that this pitcher did nothing to us)

Dinner at Eiffel Tower (our table was right behind us at the window so we had an awesome view)

Our view at dinner of the Bellagio water fountain show

Jen won $129 at one point on the Wheel of Fortune machine

Sunday we walked to Serendipity 3 and had a world famous Frozen Hot Chocolate!  It was yummy! 

It was a great time away with some much needed relaxation for both of us while the dad's spent some time with the kiddos!
