someone turned 30

unfortunately it was me.... i've been dreading this for some time now, really NOT looking forward to it, but surprisingly it wasn't so bad. i had an entire birthday week with parties, dinners, and amazing friends and family! although i still have a hard time typing 30 in for my age on the treadmill, i think i'll survive.

this is the cake my parents got for me... i loved it!

uhhh... but that's WAY too many candles!

i got an ipad for my birthday.... but i'm quickly realizing who's ipad it REALLY is!

mini catch up in pictures

since i haven't really blogged in.... like.... forever....here are a FEW highlights from last spring and early summer....

the boys got to go to work with daddy one day.... they had a blast!

I ran my first marathon (Seattle Rock N Roll) and finished in 3:52.... I was pretty happy with that, and can't wait to do another one!

In March Jonathan turned 30.... now it's almost march again, so he's 31 now

in May we went with our good friends to Mexico!

and when we got home from London we bought a new car!!! I LOVE IT!!

here's a little of what we've done since september. these also didn't load in any order, i am obviously out of practice!

First Day of Preschool

where does the time go? i can hardly believe that my baby boy is 4 and in preschool! he has been waiting for this day for months, and was so excited to finally get to go to school. he put on his backpack and let me take some pictures before he decided that he didn't want to take it since there was nothing in it. duh mom.

this is camdin, blake's BFF......another reason blake was so excited to start school. here they are right before going in.

we went in, got to check out his cubby, and get his name tag.

this is his spot, right across from Camdin (we'll see how long that lasts :) and right behind his other good friend Ella. they started painting right away, and he hardly even looked up to say goodbye to me. i started getting a little teary eyed, so it was a perfect time to leave!

blake, camdin, and ella right after school. they all had a great time and loved every minute of it. they learned about turtles and got to play outside (according to blake). i am so proud of my big boy and so happy that he loves school. i am also so grateful that he has such great friends to learn and grow with!
