{run RaRa run}

Aunt RaRa has been training for her first 1/2 Marathon so when the big day was here we were on the streets cheering her on. We made signs and C helped hold them while yelling "run RUN run"Brandon took a donut break from watching and Dad was encouraging, as always...

even Baby D clapped and yelled "run"

run RaRa run! She and Donnell ran most of the marathon together, this is about mile 6

She made it to the finish line!

We are very proud of RaRa for reaching her goal.

we love you RaRa

It felt like it had been raining for days, being stuck in the house, so when there was a break we put on our rain boots and went looking for puddles!

C kept saying "splash? Splash! splash?" and D just followed big brother's every move.They Giggled and Ran and JuMped!

D crashed and fell

but that did not slow him down long

They had fun

then mommie and daddy had fun cleaning them up...

oh well, boys need to be boys.

{riding my bicycle}

Coop is offically off and rolling on his bicycle. He has been closely watching the neighborhood kids riding their bikes and has been determined to do it all by himself. After lots of practicing he can do it all by himself now.He needs just a little help going up the hill but I'm sure it will only be a matter of days he will be cruising up and down the street all by himself.

D is watching and probably won't be far behind...

{outside?}

Even though it is winter there is no keeping these two boys inside. We had a very mild winter so we spent alot of time outside. Since I am so behind on blogging this post is random pictures from January and February of us playing outside.
