Fantastic Park

After a morning full of marathon craziness, we ate some tasty/unhealthy McDonalds....and crashed at the hotel for several hours.  Logan & I made a Starbucks & Buffalo Wild Wings run for an early dinner & then he headed out to a cool park that John found on the run.  It reminded of Fort Frankfort by my sisters house....but a bigger version.

Ready, set....

Jump!!!

Fun balancing beams & tires...

A slide for Ryan, though he quickly also tackled the big twisty slide.

And a super fun tire swing!

The park had a great view....

Pretty much the whole park - huge!!

My guys...

Family Selfie

I do love my family!  Evening of the marathon at a park.

Started with the two of us:

Then we added in some passer-bys:

And we grabbed one last adorable munchkin:

Sleeping Ryan

Seriously....adorable.

Stinky P U!

At Johns marathon this weekend, we headed to the packet pickup area.  We were in the Activiry Center at U of I Champaign/Urbana.  We walked into the hallway of the men's locker room.  Carter turned around & said 'it really smells in here!!'

Haha...one day, you will be that stinky teenage boy, my dear.

Check it out

My nephew Michael had a sleepover last night.  Woohoo!

This morning while watching morning tv (on Nickelodeon mind you) a commercial comes on & Carter says to Michael - check it out!

Michael & I both turned to see this:

Yes.  Girls in bikinis running on the beach. Seriously?!  I just got a few more gray hairs....  He is 4.  I kinda hope that maybe a cool toy commercial just ended as he said that....but after seeing the commercial a second time, I don't think the timing is right.  Aiyiyi....

Lil bro duties

Though Ryan now tries to get in the water during drop off/ pick up times at swim lessons, he was not the best student last year, so him & I now wait on the sidelines ( while John runs on the track upstairs).  So the lil bro waits while his big bros swim. 

There is another 2-year old boy that comes on Wesnesdays & they play trucks.  Here Ryan is super proud that he balanced his truck on the fence. :)

And sometimes we've ditched swimming for 5 minutes to watch Daddy run the track.

And sometimes....he literally hangs around....

He is very patient while waiting & is a good boy. :)

Me!

I snuck a Cheetos puff in after I ate my lunch.  Due to the crunchy bag...Ryan caught me despite my attempts to make it look like I was re-arranging & coughing.  He yelled out ME! ME!  As if I was picking him on a team or something.  Very cute though.  ( and he got some after he are more grilled cheese ).

Ryan's Bath Labratory

Ryan spends bath time lining cups & pouring/transferring water.  Very cute.
