Mom's First 1/2 Marathon!!

I did my first 1/2 marathon this morning!! The OKC Memorial run. I just might be hooked! :) It was by far one of my greatest accomplishments apart from my family! I also can say that all the training paid off because it was not "hard." I did it with enough strength left to do more. Now, I'm definitely not saying that I want to do a full...but, I can see why and how marathoners get hooked! What a FUN morning...
BIG HUGE thanks to the world's BEST husband for taking care of the kids while I trained for this. Brooks, you are my everything and your encouragement means more than I can possibly try to say with words on a page!! I love you!!!
In addition, thanks to a very loving aunt for watching my kiddos while I did one of my long runs!
Just out of the finish - official time of 2:28!!
Of course, the kids celebrated by playing in the kidzone afterward!!
Cooper knows who's number one!!!
My favorite cheerleaders!!!

So, here are some other fun pictures of our new car: Roxy Heart Sparkles. In case you are wondering, a). Rachel named the car and b). we do not let the kids ride in the front!
Cooper, checking out Roxy...

Some more fun pictures of Cooper who was seven months earlier this month!!
Love this boy!!! He is our happy little man!!
