Summer time...and the living is easy!

Although it's not officially summer, I certainly feel like it's already here! I am not one who loves the extreme temperatures in the summer (except when I'm at the pool), but I do love summer activities. I also love that Rob is home a little more often during the summer, and it seems like life is more laid back. I love all the family/friend get togethers, yummy BBQs, fireworks, swimming, etc! Last night it really felt like summer. Rob got home a little earlier than normal, we had a delicious dinner, and then we headed in the backyard to let the boys play and enjoy some popsicles. This was Beckett's very first popsicle and he LOVED every second of it! He even had to try a little of every ones.
After we finished our popsicles, we decided to go on a walk and let Wesley ride his scooter. It was such a beautiful night! The weather was perfect and the boys were happy! I love going on family walks. It definitely has a different feel than my morning runs. I get to sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds. It was a perfect way to end the day! This is a famous Beckett face! It is so nerdy, but so funny that we laugh hysterically everytime!
Wesley riding his awesome scooter. He kept saying "I'm so good at scootering Mom!"
Here is Beckett giving me the stink eye! I love this kid!
Rob told Wesley to give him a big smile...this is what he got. I love it! Snot and all!

I did it!

I cut my hair! And I love it!!! I can't believe I waited so long to do it. I came to the realization that I really love having my hair short. It looks healthier and thicker and I just feel like it suits me better. Rob thinks this haircut makes me look younger, which I'm ok with :) I should have taken a picture of the side and back. It's not the same length in the back, it's cut shorter and layered. I haven't played around with it too much, but I'm really glad I did it. Thanks Jess!!! I love it!

Along with cutting my hair, Jess and I hit the big 10 on Saturday! We finally hit double digits in our training and we couldn't have been happier! It was a great run. We asked ourselves on Saturday if we were forced to run 3 more miles that day could we? And we both thought that we could. I am finally feeling that I can and will finish 13.1 miles. Only a few more weeks! Can't wait!

To chop, or not to chop...

That is the question!

I've been debating for the past month or so if I should cut my hair. I've been trying to grow it out since I have only had semi-long hair once or twice in my life. My hair is really thin and also fine, so I personally don't think it looks good long. Plus, since it is so thin, I have to use a round brush to blow dry my hair and when it's long, it takes twice and long and looks awful! I need to do something fast! I am thinking that I want to chop it short and do something I've never done before. For the past 4 years, my hair has pretty much been different lengths of an a-line bob. I want to try something different, but I'm not sure what. I tried doing some of the online virtual makeovers, but none of them have had a huge selection of short hairstyles. Their definition of short is the length my hair is now, and super short. I want something in between. So, I found a couple of pictures of hairstyles that I really like. I want your opinion of which one you like best. I also did one of the virtual pictures that I liked, so I'll post that one too. I think I'm to the point where I am even willing to be daring. How daring??? I'm not sure...but I do want to try something new. Leave me a comment and let me know which one you like the best.

Hairstyle #1 (I think this is my favorite)

Hairstyle #2

Hairstyle #3

Hairstyle #4

Here is the virtual one. I'm a dork and didn't notice part of my hair was sticking out when I took the picture. And I'm not planning on dying my hair brown. The shades of blonde they had were awful!! It looked better brown. I also really like this one. It kind of looks like my sister Jenny's hair put on my head. I'm having a hard time deciding!

I really need your help!!! And you only have a couple of days to vote. I'm thinking of taking action really soon!

It's been awhile...

Well, it's been awhile since I've blogged. One of the main reasons is that I've been busy re-decorating our bedroom. (I will post pictures once we put the final touches up) Let's just say it turned out better than I could have hoped for! The boys and I are completely loving the beautiful weather we've been having! The park has been a home away from home. Other than that, our lives have been quite uneventful. I'm still running my butt off...(literally!) and Rob is still working hard. We don't see him as much as we would like, but we appreciate all he does for us! I had a great Mother's Day weekend. Rob spoiled me all weekend long. Friday I had beautiful flowers delivered, that night we went to dinner and a movie (we've been having bad luck with movies recently...don't go see Ghosts of Girlfriends Past...two thumbs down!!!), Saturday I was able to fit in a run, go tanning, and just relax, and Sunday was spent with good company and great food!

I know this post is kind of random, but I wanted to post some cute pictures of the boys. A week or so ago we went to the zoo with some friends. I didn't get any pictures of the boys with any animals, but did take pictures of them at the playground. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time!
