Working at the Dog Wash

For the past few weeks my husband has been obsessed with running a hot water line outside so we can bathe our Great Dane, Bella.The line is not run quite yet, but today it was warm enough that cold water would do.

Bella is an amazing dog and very obedient. She is not at all rambunctious during bath time, which made it possible for Finley Kate to help in the bathing process. This resulted in some of the cutest pictures I've ever seen!

It's Wednesday Y'all!

We've Been Busy!

We have been so busy with school, college, baseball, chickens, work, and so many other things... so blogging has obviously been on the back-burner....

WARNING: Photo Dump Ahead!

Finley is really into copying what Mama & Daddy are doing:

Here she is at one of Bryce's games standing like Daddy

Stealing Mommy's make-up and destroying the closet in the process :)

Playing in the sprinkler and having picnics on the pavilion

Using our water table from the Easter Bunny

Hanging out with the family

Learning about our chickens

Coaching baseball

Playing baseball

Spending A LOT of nights at the ball field

Riding 4-wheelers

and celebrating Easter and Mother's Day... building a chicken coop... and so much more! 

Embracing the Camera

Our other computer had a motherboard issue and it would not let you log in with out trying 6+ times and then it would randomly cut off while you were in the middle of something... Need less to say, we got a new computer!! Here are some pics of Finley Kate and I using the new web cam!

Have you Embraced the Camera lately?

However, he asked for some Oakley's (he's 13) so we will see how generous Peter Cottontail is this year ;)

Another for Bryce (and me)

Finding my groove...

Linking up with the lovely Ashley!

 

I haven't been blogging about anything at all lately and life has been busy! I just celebrated my 25th birthday ;) and I am loving life. I feel like I am finally "finding a groove." I am finally exercising on the regular , spending more time with my family, and reading! 

I go on a daily walk with my Great Dane, Bella and push Finley Kate in the jogging stroller. It's work! But it gives me so much energy and confidence and I for sure need both ;). 

I have been tracking my mileage on WalkGeorgia.org and I am becoming extremely competitive! I want to be in 1st place but in all fairness to myself I didn't start until the 3rd week of the program. I will try to keep everyone updated on my progress. I've currently logged 45.9 miles so far!

In addition to the walking/jogging/running routine I have going on I have been doing some balance ball exercises as well as a few other things I found on Pinterest. You can find my fitness and motivation board here.

The balance ball exercise I most often do can be found here.

How are y'all doing?
