happy hump day

for those 'old' people reading this- hump day is not something nasty, it's wednesday- mid week- hump day... :)

weekend was good- friday evening justin go to go eat pizza and play across the street at baron's house- he looked fwd to it all week (they invited him on wed, when baron came to play). Saturday morning- jeremy worked ALL DAY- he went left around 6:30am and got home at 12am midnight.... lots of overtime! the girls watched the boys (and later went to regina's for the weekend for montana's birthday (their half sister)..while i did my 5 mile run.  It was a park to park run from minute maid park (where the astros play) to hermann park (near the houston zoo). my goal was 48 minutes, and i came in at 47:48 (9:34 mile pace)... I am doing another one march 29- hoping for 46 minutes... it was fun- a friend and her husband did it with me and also another friend from wayyyyyy back ran with me- she has done half marathons and is trying to convince me to do one with her in april- um is she crazy? my other friend is also going to do the half marathon- but not til next january. half marathons are not something i have ever wanted to do- EVER...i like triathlons better .

anyway- got home, showered and took off to a bday party with the boys- at jumpin jungle (where justin had his party- a bounce place).. we were a little late but the boys still had fun. after that, we stopped at the park in our neighborhood because as we drove by, jacob said 'get down- get down' and i said, what, you want to go to the park ? and he shook his head yes, and said 'play' and justin chimed in... so, it was a beautiful day, so i figured why not- late naps arent that bad... the boys and i played for about an hour... justin even made a new friend. after naps, we played out back for a while..







jacob loves to wear his 'hat' - look at his cute little chubby feet :)



justin better watch out- jacob's already tackling him :)



this one, justin actually ASKED me to take his picture... (with stormie)





sat night, a few friends and i went to the galleria to eat at the cheesecake factory- YUM! jeremy was supposed to be home by the time i left, but wasnt- so nana and pawpaw watched the boys- ended up keeping them over night since jeremy never came home.

sunday, we played outside ALOT! i bought justin a kite- and he wanted daddy to help him fly it- baron was outside and wanted to see, too-





well, somehow, it turned into daddy and baron's daddy flying the kite, and justin and baron disappeared inside the house! jacob still had fun watching..





for lunch, we went to jake's grill - yummy grilled cheese- but my small camera battery was dead, so no pics- justin and jeremy walked over to the 'island' as justin called it and thought it was super cool to see tadpoles and turtles and told me that he knows how to skip rocks now.. he was so proud.

monday- nothing exciting happened that i can remember- tuesday- even more nothing- brooke had cheer, i went to dream dinners for a sneak peak and signed up for some meals- hopefully my picky family (and self) will like the meals i chose..i go next thurs to make them.

cute story- in the car yesterday,justin says: 'you know why nana only goes to the gym on tuesday and thursday when i am not at school?

me: why?

justin: because, sometimes when they go, jacob puts his cup down, his sippy cup, and then someone else picks it up and drinks out of it'

me: 'oh? so if you go, you make sure noone takes it?'

justin: 'yes, one boy tried to drink it and i told him it wasnt his'

me: 'wow, you are a good big brother- thank you- do you protect him if other kids try to hit him?'

justin:' yes, i tell them no! that is my baby brother'

awwwwwwwwww so cute- except looks like baby brother is doing just fine being 'tough' but at least he's giving hugs, right? :)
