February Fun!

This month has been super busy and fun. We have also had some crazy weather this month. We had a "snow" day a week ago and then today it was in the 70's. I guess that's pretty typical in Texas. Highlights of the month were the Hot Chocolate 5K which I ran with my co-workers, mom and church friends, Hattie and Brent's first daddy/daughter dance, Hollyn making her first trip to the ER and Valentine's Day!


 Hattie and Brent all dressed up. Sounds like they had a fun night of dancing, playing games, taking pictures and eating desserts.
 One day we went to our favorite yogurt place so Hattie ran upstairs and got dressed to match the place. She is pretty funny!
 Hollyn swallowed a penny one afternoon and after looking up stories online, we decided to take her to get x-rays. We never did find that penny. We quit looking after a few days : )
 Playing in the park


Hot Chocolate Race in Dallas
 The group after the race. It was a cold morning. I think in the 30's. BRR!~



 Natasha and I the day before the race getting our packets. We just had to get a picture with the marshmallow guy : )
 Yesterday we met at Build a Bear. Grandma decided to let the girls make animals for Valentine's day. They loved their palace pets- Treasure and Pumpkin



 Friday afternoon our school did a fundraiser. We did a mile walk with the students and then the students could pay a dollar and race a teacher. Before the race I was challenging the students to a race. I honestly thought I would have to run slow to beat the younger kids and I was wrong! Those kids were so fast!! I raced k-2, 3-5, middle school, then the teachers! Let's just say I was so worn out I could hardly move the next day. At least we raised a lot of money for the Ronald McDonald House.




I was still really sore today but I had to meet my mom for our 4 mile run. In two weeks we are going to Little Rock to meet some friends and run a 10K so today and next week we need to run 4 or 5 miles. Today was a nice run across the bridge of Lake Ray Hubbard.
