A surprise visit from Chik-Fila Cow!!

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the chili is so delightful!

Yes, I made homemade chili tonight for dinner!  This is my family's favorite so far!  While I was making this, the girls were being extra silly so I had to get pics of them!  Enjoy the picture of my chili and just picture it in a big bowl with cheese on top......YUMMY!

Strike a pose!

Are my eyes crossed?

Oh no, I don't think so!

Silly monkeys

Hey Camille!!!

SO behind!

I am SO SORRY!  I have been so behind on my posts its ridiculous!!!  It snowed today, so I have a few pics from that. The girls had a blast and fun time making a snowman with their daddy!  School will probably be cancelled tomorrow(which I will be completely happy about), so I know they are going to want to go out agan and play, but I'm really not up for it.........ITS SO COLD OUTSIDE!!!!  Well enjoy the pics!

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:)
