Marathon Weekend in Lincoln

So not only did Brian run his first marathon, Colin also ran his first race it was only a mile compared to Brian's 26.2 miles. Both did a great job and I couldn't be any prouder of my two boys. Enjoy some of our favorite pics of our race weekend.

Easter Pictures

Colin and I spent Easter out in Colorado with my mom this year. Our flight was great and Colin had so much fun on the plane and behaved so well. On Easter Sunday we went to an Easter Egg hunt at Copper Mountain. Colin and Dominque(my step-sister) had a great time and it snowed the whole time we were at Copper Mtn. Then the week after Easter we went out to the Keiser Farm. Here our a few pictures from Easter.

Happy Easter!

Hope everybody has a great Easter weekend. Colin and I are getting ready to leave for Colorado to spend Easter with my mom, Lancer,Acacia and Dominque. Colin will be going on his first plane ride. He is pretty excited about and im a little nervous about it(not the flying part me handling him and the carseat through DIA).We are also going to stop by Friday morning and visit our Friends Rupi and baby Atticus. Brian will be staying home since he just got back from Denver last weekend and he has papers to write. Enjoy some pics that we took a couple of weeks ago.

March Happenings

As always we are busy. I know that isn't a very good excuse. Brian had his first race of the year yesterday the State Farm Run next is the Lincoln Full Marathon. That is right Brian has been training since fall for it and the last couple of weeks he has been running 16-20 miles on Sat. mornings. He is busy with school and is getting ready to go out to Denver this next week for a confrence. Colin has been staying pretty healthy. He had a sinus infection a couple of weeks ago then he was off his antibotic for couple of days then he started running a fever. Colin's speech is improving everyday and we are amazed by his progress his LPS teacher Maureen still comes every Friday morning to see him. Colin and I have made another trip to the Omaha Zoo on a nice Friday at the beginning of the month. In other news the same day Colin and I went to the Zoo the transmission went out in our car that evening. After sitting and thinking about it for almost a week we decided to get it fix and not buy another car. The same day we picked up the car we took Brian's truck into the shop to get new brakes and get it looked at. We have been enjoying the nice March Days playing outside and made a trip to the Park on St.Patty Day. And our walks on City Campus after our Friday Pasta Dinners at Spaghetti Works. As always thanks for checking in on us.

Busy that is the story of our life.

Tonight we will be going to church for a Valentine Dinner put on by the youth group. Brian has been busy traing for the Lincoln full marathon which will be in May and working out almost everynight of the week plus staying busy with school and work. Brian attened our neighborhood meeting at the beginning of the month to listin and voice his concern's for Matt Talbott moving into the neighborhood. If you have not been following this city council passed it and they will start work on it come fall. Now for a couple of pics from this month so far.

Colorado Vacation

A week after we get home from vacation I finally have time to sit down and update. Colin had a blast skiing for the first time as you can tell in the pictures. When you ask him about it he will act it out then tell you that he fell down the hill and hit his head. He won't stop talking about skiing. So I think we are going to make sure he gets up on the slopes a couple times a year. He had no problems at all while we were out there with the altitude and his lungs. And we had great weather the whole week we were out there. It was great getting to spend time with my mom, Lancer, Dominque and Acacia.
Brian starts classes back up this week, so life will be busy once again until May when we have a couple weeks break. We have a couple of projects we want to start working on inside the house and the big one I want to have done before Summer is our bedroom floors. We have wood floors but they need some serious work. Also want to look at building a shelving area under our stairs(but then we would loose our tornado shelter). Colin's LPS teacher continues to come out every week to Preschool/daycare to work with him. He is making a big improvment and can't get over how far he has come. Come March we will once again apply for the EXCITE Program with LPS.
Colin continues to amaze us everyday and we have been so blessed to have had such a healthy winter so far.
Until next time
God Bless
Mattie,Brian and Colin
