Spring has Sprung!

I love the KC actually has a spring. I love that our backyard (still can't believe we even have one!) has little flowers blooming all over the grass.

I ran a half marathon on Saturday the 16th (it's called the Oz marathon and the Wicked Fast half, which isn't). Anyway, fun, fun. The wind was blowing so hard I looked like I was drunk. I would just jerk to the right or left for no reason.

We then went to an earth fair where I fell in love with a tiny Screech Owl! I want one! Wills is pretty cute too.


And they had these stadium benches that you could neither sit or stand on...I guess squatting is okay.


Then we went to our neighbors house for his friend's birthday party. Indiana Jones theme. So cute. Mac and Wills hung out with Vince and Gwendie. Talking about man things.

Aahhhhhhh, nothing says "Easter" quite like egg dying and a couple of glocks.






Seriously, that face.

We hid eggs all over the the backyard and Noah went to search 'em out. After about 5 seconds Mac turned to me and said, "I think we can rule out investigator for a future career for him." He passed about 8 eggs before looking about the yard in total confusion. Bless you baby.

Then we went to a friends house were the kido's did the same thing. And so did Noah. He would celebrate 1 egg while the other kids would take the remaining 5 in front of him. Our friend Whitney had to take him by the hand and show him where to find more eggs. Love you Noah, Noah.

The day ended with "egg wars". A tradition in Mac's family. You take your dyed eggs and smash tip to tip with the other eggs. Only one will survive this and ironically Noah's "Noah egg" was the one that stayed whole. Anyway, Happy Easter everyone. We have much to be thankful for on this day!!

Workin' at the Carwash, yah!

Ok, so one of the perks/downside of marrying a border collie is that you have crap to do ALL THE TIME. Even on Saturday. I mean, come on!!! I don't like moving more than my eyelids on that day. It's the only day Mac can really help out a.k.a do everything.



So this weekend we washed the pterodactyl turds off our cars. Noah immediately took off his shirt and started getting the cars washed. Wills sat there barking orders at us...lazy bird.




Then I bathed the kids (cause dirty children drive me a weee bit insane).
As I was rinsing his hair I thought...NORA or NOAH? Yeah, it's getting long. Aubrey loves her big sis!!

Got Milk?

Sooooo, I'm trying to cut back my milk production. I am down to 2 pumps a day. This is what both pumps can look like...and I still feed him 5 bottles a day! BOOM! (ps. this is after I nurse him)

I was planning on stopping at 100 bags...almost 150 bags later I still haven't dried up!! Yes, I was planning on just drying up once I started exercising...guess a better pump really does make all the difference!
This is what our deep freeze looks like at 75 bags, but I'm too lazy to go down there and take another picture...ugh, legs...


I'm really hoping my milk won't end up tasting like...turkey bacon...or pork...?
