5K

Ran my first official 5K with Justin today...crazy tornado-like storm swept in during the last 2/10th...trees were falling down, wind was blowing. We were completely covered in sweat and dirt. The temperature was 97 at the start and 67 when we finished.

Spring Break

This past week was Malia's spring break. It was a ton of fun! Justin headed out to WV to speak at a church and took Pressley along with him. I stayed home and spent my days hanging out with Isabella and my nights slumber partying with Malia. It was really great having some special one on one time with the girls and also watching Malia and Isabella spend some special time together as well. Isabella and I had a special fun photo shoot day and read tons of books together. Yesterday we wrapped up the day as a family by spending the day in Bay City at the Planetarium, sharing a smoothie and eating lunch/dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings.

Poison

Me: Izzy don't touch that's poison!
I: Oh! I don't like poison!
