Sixer
Well, on a bit of a whim we decided to get Jacob a puppy for his birthday. He reeeeeeally wanted one, and we found a precious Chihuahua/Pekingese mix that we fell in love with. We knew if we got a dog, we wanted a small one.....and a small one we got. He is SO TEENY!!
We went and let Jacob pick him out Saturday. He was one of six, but one had already been adopted. Jacob picked this one and he could not be cuter. We were/are having a terrible time naming him! No name seems to fit no matter how much we like the name. Eden keeps insisting that his name is "Six". We have no idea why but we giggle when she says it. After all, he is the "Sixth" member of our family! After hearing her call him Six, it has grown on us a bit. Jacob and Parker are now calling him "Sixer"! So Sixer it just may be......
Welcome to the family little dude!

Parker and Preston
OK, little Mike (Parker) and little Chris (Preston) are a little bit scary. They are FOUR YEARS OLD!!! What are we gonna do when they are teens? *faints*
EAT MOR CHIKIN!!
Well, today was National Cow Appreciation day, which for us translates to...FREE CHICK FIL A! All you gotta do is dress up as a cow, and you get free chick fil a. That's easy enough with some black construction paper and a little scotch tape, so off we went.
We do this every year...so fun!

Trophy Party
Well, this weekend was pretty quiet, but good! Friday night Mike and I got a last minute sitter and went to happy hour with the McCools and some of our neighbors. It was really fun! I haven't been out at happy hour time in a while, and we had a great time.
Here are come crappy pictures we took with my phone. Ash and I obviously had similar ideas on what to wear!
Ash, neighbor Courtney and I. Fun, fun!
Then Saturday was Parker's end of season T-Ball party. We had it at one of the neighborhood pools. We loved his team and coaches so of course the party was fun for all.
Parker getting his first trophy!
All worn out after 3 hours of swimming.
The week ahead seems fairly uneventful which is GREAT. Of course July 4th festivities this weekend should keep us busy. Fun summer days!

Words
So, the last 20 or so times I have blogged (just a guess, I didn't count) have just been picture posts. I will say a few words, post a few darling pictures of my kids, and there you have it...a blog post.
What have we really been doing? A whole lot of EVERYTHING. The school year came to an end (which is always crazy for everyone), the marathon came and went (yes I am still bitter), our Florida trip came and went (nothing to be bitter about there, except for that I left one of my prized possessions in the room that has not been recovered...boohoo), All Star baseball season came and went (very quickly I might add...poor boys....although Jacob was a TOTAL rockstar, so proud of my little stud) and now June is almost over.
Whew, I am tired just writing it.
Sometimes I feel like a duck...cool and calm on the surface but paddling like mad underneath. So much to do with 3 kiddos! But of course I wouldn't have it any other way and I love being crazy busy. It definitely beats being crazy bored. :) Plus, the crazy schedule brings with it no less than 2375926475 glasses of wine, which always helps in maintaining my sanity.
I am on Doctors orders to rest a bit to allow my knee to heal, which anyone who knows me knows that this is VERY hard for me to do. I could be at the gym from 9-5 every single day if I didn't have any other responsibilities! I absolutely love it and it is hard for me to take a break. But I know its necessary so I am trying to do so. For anyone who didn't know, I hurt my knee in the marathon, Doctor thought for sure it was a torn Meniscus but after a clean MRI, he now things maybe not. He said it could have just been "hiding" and not shown up on the MRI, but put me on Steroids and rest to see if it will go away. I'm not in pain at all anymore, but I know when I try to run I probably will have a little pain....so we'll see.
Nothing else to share I suppose, just swimming every day, enjoying no alarm clock over the summer and looking forward to a second trip to Florida in July. Remember this? Well, its happening again!! And I cant wait...
