The Color Run

 
Woohoo!  The Color Run!! I was so excited this year to run the Color Run with Ethan.  He worked so hard and was ready to run the three miles with me.  The only thing we hadn't counted on was RAIN!  it was pouring and freezing!  We were sure a mess when we got done.  Ethan's shoes had holes in them and he was not happy!  Here we are all clean, before we started:
 
 

And then, after 3.1 miles in the rain and colored powder and foot deep puddles.  I had a great time, but Ethan said he didn't and that he won't do it again.  I hope he changes his mind.  I'm thinking of making this an annual family tradition.  I'm thinking he would like it a lot better dry.  I'm so proud of him for working so hard and sticking to it, even in less than ideal conditions.

Happy Birthday Noelle!

 
Happy Birthday Noelle!  Our littlest girl is three!  She's a big girl now.

 
She was so excited to help make her own cake and decorate it, too.  What a great helper!
 
My kids are growing up so fast.  Noelle has such a personality!  I'm not sure what to say about her.  We'd sure notice her absence.  She's a fiery, sassy, and strong little girl.  We're so glad she's ours.  And I'm sure someday I'll figure her out.


She's three now, so she gets to use the big potty!  She got some My Little Pony underwear.  If you know Noelle, you know that ponies are serious business, and that The Lion King is her one true love.  I love how much she loves things.  She is a passionate, lovely girl.  Happy Birthday!
