The night before Reynolds birthday we went out to eat. It was a bit of a risk after Jane was recovery from vomiting the night before but both kids were in a great mood and we wanted to eat some good Mexican. On the way home I was on the phone when Andrew said "oh man Reynolds is puking". Luckily this was his only episode followed my many others coming out the other end.
The next day was more of the same as Reynolds kept blowing out of his diapers. After changing Reynolds clothes three different times we decided it was time to head to the park for a picnic.
Reynolds enjoyed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I wish I could say it was his first time eating peanut butter but he kind of had it before he was one, oops.
Reynolds was able to play on the play ground for a bit. He loves it there. Once we turn the corner to the park he starts pointing his finger and bouncing back and forth.
Jane and Andrew tried to fly a new kite with no wind but little Jane did manage to get it a little in the air.
After a much needed nap and dinner we had the family over for a little Birthday party.
Happy Birthday to Ren!
At first he wasn't too into his cake not sure if he maybe wasn't feeling well but once he got a taste he went to town and ate the whole thing.
Reynolds still did not get into the whole present thing but that was alright because Jane just couldn't stop herself from opening all his gifts.
Thanks Mommy and Daddy.
Thanks Uncle Tom and Aunt Johanna!
Thanks Uncle Alex and Aunt Cynthia!
She even put glasses over the eyes.
If the object she got wasn't exactly what she wanted she would say, "I need to put this away I don't like it." and then drag it back.
The glare is pretty bad on this one but even though the ears are backwards they have earrings on them! The soccer ball on the foot is enough to kill me.
Renny being patient enough to not screw up his sister's game. At one point he took a hair brush and started to brush her hair. It was so sweet. If I wasn't being distracted talking to a certain someone I would have thought to take video of it.
I laughed when I saw the time of 32:41. I can't believe that I was so proud of myself. Of course looking back I was probably more stoked that I actually had ran 3 miles since it was probably the furthest I had even run in my entire life. A lot of people keep running journals so they can track their progress. Andrew actually started a running blog so he could record his runs as he is training for a marathon. I don't know if I want to get totally into that but I thought once in a while I would record my progress so I could look back and see where I'm at. My overall goal is that I will be able to run a half marathon in June without stopping. Last night I had a dream that I wasn't trained enough for the run and I was so bummed I couldn't run the race. It made me realize how important this is to me so I hope my body will cooperate and I will have no more running injuries. A couple of weeks ago I really injured my ankles from training too hard because I basically was not doing anything for the previous two months. I feel like I'm back. I ran 4 miles on Saturday in 36:40 and today I ran 3 miles in 27 minutes flat. Sure beats that 32:41. I've been very competitive with myself and can't wait to see how fast I can get as time goes by. I would like to run the "Bolder Boulder", which is a 10k, in less than 54 minutes.
