color me RAD!!!!

i've always wanted to do a color run.  they
just look like so much fun.  no pressure.
so that's what i did yesterday.  to make it even
better i skipped out of work to do it.
i ran with these 2 fun ladies and even though
i got a color bomb thrown right in my eye at the finish
line i had a blast.  totally doing it again next year.


here we are before the race.  nice a clean.

me, ashley, brenna

in line waiting for our start.  the color begins.


and after.  success!!!








and cailin did take a pic with me...
 even though she wasn't quite sure what to 
make of my pink face.

the mall


if there's one question that cailin asks
 a lot its, "can we go to the mall?"
she loves going there. she loves to
visit old navy and there is an indoor play
area that she could spend hours in.


here she is doing her favorite thing in old navy.



and how many little girls can you fit in a boat?

so happy its warm

spring has hit here in richmond.  no one is
happier than my outdoor loving girl.  
she's even more happy to be wearing just
a dress.  no pants.  no shirts underneath.
its the little things in life. 



i just love those little rosy cheeks.

shopping helper

cailin loves these "baby carts" at 
the grocery store.  she insisted on pushing
it all by herself.  "don't touch it mama."
thats just fine with me.  i'd rather her want to
use that than those carts with the huge plastic
car on the front that are so hard to steer.
i love this little helpful girl.

garden

this year i was very determined to grow a garden
in my backyard.  i've wanted to do this for a 
couple years, but thought it was "too hard".
i decided to get over my fears of a failed garden and 
simply try. i had brady build me a box, then i took the truck to 
yard works where i had the nice burly men fill the 
back of the truck with a compost soil mix, and
then i transferred that soil to my garden, picked out
some vegetable seeds and planted away.
im very excited to hopefully see my little seed grow into
yummy foods.  cailin helped me plant and was very disappointed
when we were done because she didn't see the vegetables right then.

 my cute little helper taking an apple break.
 the neighbor boy came by to "help", but in reality he just annoyed me.

"lemme do it"


the other day when i was taking pics of c,
she insisted on taking some herself.
i told her to look in the view finder,
find daddy, and press the button.  here
are a few pics she got.  the majority were
blurry and pointed up, but i thought these
were pretty good.  job well done little c.

"i need to do a workout"


i wear a this headband or one like it when i go for a run
or do a strength training workout at home.  recently i 
have found cailin with one on saying, "come on mama.
we need to do a workout." and she'll start running in place,
jumping up and down or put her face on the carpet (thats
her idea of a push-up).  with all that being said i just
had to snap a few shots of her headband wearing cuteness.
i just love this kooky little girl way too much.  








i love how concentrated she is on my iphone.
and the fact that the headband has crept down
her forehead is pretty awesome too.

easter


we had a little egg dyeing party last weekend right
before easter.  cailin had the best time turning
her eggs colors, but the pink ones were her favorite.  

shocking, i know.















c spent the night with nana on saturday so 
she woke up to an easter basket there.
it was hidden in the tub, that's why she's sitting
on the bathroom floor.




it was a cold and rainy day so we had a very
lame egg hunt in our front room when we got
home.  i'm actually a little embarrassed to show these
pics because it was that lame.
