Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Valentine's Day!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day reminding those we care about that we love them! Our day started out with some heart shaped pancakes, of course!

Brad's knee was bothering him, so he stayed home with Paxton while I went off and ran 10 miles for half marathon training.  It was such a nice day and without the stroller I was really able to pick up the pace and I had a great run!  It was a good thing I ran because we had a lot of eating in store for the rest of the day!

We all got dressed up to head downtown for an early dinner, but before we left I insisted on getting some pictures on the nice camera!

My sweet boy spoiled me with cards, a gigantic rose bouquet and a box of yummy chocolates.  How lucky am I?!

We had a great dinner at Nom Sushi and have a great time every time we eat here. Makes us reminisce about our time in Japan and traveling around Asia.

Since we had such an early dinner after Paxton went to sleep we broke out the fondue pot for some cheese fondue, bread and apples to go with our sparkling red wine while we watched a movie.

I hope you all had a fantastic day not only loving the people around you, but loving yourself too!  I indulged in some wonderful self-love the day after Valentine's Day and took an aerial yoga workshop!  Loving yourself and taking time for you is as important as taking care of others.  If anyone hasn't tried aerial yoga I urge you to do so! It's SO FUN.  

Happy New Year!

This was my big outing on New Years Eve - a morning at the stable riding this big guy is my idea of a perfect way to celebrate!!

In the afternoon we headed out back to make a bonfire and s'mores!

When Paxton woke up from his nap he joined us outside.  Basically a year and a half year old running around between the freezing cold pool and the scorching fire was not exactly my idea of a relaxing time. While we all weren't out there long it was fun having a little bit of a special evening with my guys.

New Years Day we have the tradition of going running!  I got some new running shoes and kicked off the New Year in exactly the right way.  4 miles, 8 minute average pace and the last mile at 7.25!  I think I'm in the best shape of my life.  Can't wait to see where this year will take me on my health and fitness journey.

And that afternoon we had the best time with Pax at the park!  He discovered that he loves slides and it was the cutest thing ever!!

We had such a great start to our 2015.  Can it really be 2015?! I hope it's a good one!
