Not Me! Monday!

  

I did NOT sit at my house all day and do nothing! How could I even think to do a thing like that!

I did NOT think about getting chocolate at the checkout line today. I would never eat chocolate in the morning, nor would I give it to my children:P

I did NOT stay home all day Sunday and miss church! I'm perfect, I never miss church!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

It's ON!!!

For those of you who don't know, on January 6th I started training with my cousin for the half-marathon that we are going to do in December!!!!  The first time I ran which was Jan. 6th, I could only run for a short time and maybe do .5mi!  Well I am very proud to announce that after 3wks of running, this morning I ran 3 MILES STRAIGHT!!!!!  I can't believe the progress I have made in the few weeks!  I want to thank my husband who has been VERY supportive of me and my sweet cousin Cheryl for all her help, tips and being by my side.  She completed her first half-marathon just this past December and that was very inspiring to me, so I told her I would do it with her this year!

I will be doing my first 5K in March with my cousin and this will be the first of many mini races we do leading up to the half-marathon in Decemeber!  I'm expecting by June to do my first 10K(6.2mi).  This is very exciting for me and one of the best goals I have set for myself this year!  I know with God, ALL things are possible!!!  Be on the lookout for updates throughout this process!  Yay ME!

The Aftermath of the braids!!!!!

Ok, well I FINALLY took Camille's braids down today.  It was SO NICE while it lasted which was almost 4wks!!!!  It was nice having a break from doing her beautiful thick gorgeous hair, but I knew it was time to take it down:(    These were taken a few hours AFTER I took the pics of them with their Zhu Zhu pets in the post below this one!  And boy was it FUN washing and brushing this out:)  Yay me.....NOT!

Now that's ALOT of hair!!!!

Zhu Zhu fun!

Well the girls got all 4 hamsters for Christmas(but they only have 2 of them and the other 2 are up in our closet still in the package), but at the time we couldn't find any of the accessories, but they were just as excited to get their hamsters!  This month we have been able to find stuff here and there and today we finished it up when I went to Target and they had the "Fun House" & "Car & Garage" pieces!  So Stephen put all the pieces that we bought together and the girls had a field day with it:)

Camille's Hamster(Mr. Squiggles)

Future Wylie Pacesetter!

Camille LOVES to dance and is not afraid to do it in front of a crowd and when the opportunity for her to do so came about, we jumped on it!  The Wylie Pacesetter drill team had a dance clinic last Saturday(1/16) and all the girls learned a dance to the famous song by Miley Cyrus "Party in the USA"!  I have never heard this song because we don't listen to secular music, but it was cute!  The girls were told after the clinic that they were going to perform their dance at one of the Varsity Basketball games during half time and Camille was STOKED!  Enjoy these pictures of my baby dancing being just like her mama!!!!!

Go Camille.....work it, work it!

That's my girl:)

Ending pose!

Simone HAD to get in the pic too:)

Flower anyone?

As most of you know, I make hairbows for little girls and its been over a year now since I first started making them!  Thanks to my friend DeAnna who introduced me to my first ever bow making lesson:)  I wanted to share my latest creation with you......a flower!  This is my own personal design, not copied from anyone and I haven't seen anyone do it.  This precious flower can be made in any color, different color petals and of course your choice of the center color:)  If you like what you see, check out my website at http://www.camisim.com/ !

HOMEMADE pizza night!

Stephen, the sweet dad he is went to the store and bought everything we needed to make our own homemade pizza.  The girls were thrilled!!!!  The pizza turned out very good and the girls didn't fight because they each had their own individual pizza!  Enjoy!

P.S. Stephen set everything up and cut the pineapple & green pepper!  He's the greatest, us girls are truly BLESSED!!!!
