Two Cute Kiddos

Trying it Out!

I decided to take the kiddos and Timber for a walk today so we could try out the new double stroller!  I am so excited for this thing - it rides so smoothly and the kiddos fit perfectly in it!  Chloe seemed to be super excited about not riding in her car seat in the stroller too!  I cannot wait for our many more walks we will go on with this stroller!

Our first picture in the stroller! 

Happy kiddos!

Timber was a fan of it too!

 

Beautiful girl!

Finally looking at me!

Handsome boy!

Cosmic Run

Tonight Carrie and I drove up to Rentschler Field for the Cosmic Run 5k.  We were super excited about it, but not so excited about the freezing cold weather!!  It had great potential - it was kind of like the Color Me Rad 5k I did last year, but was at night time and had black lights and glow in the dark color stations.  But unfortunately, I'm not sure if it was poor planning or just volunteers who got a bit excited during the beginning, but by the time we got to the color stations all of the glow powder was already gone.  Such a bummer.  And then the course was a bit muddy and rocky and absolutely did a number on my feet.  And lastly, the finish was so anti-climatic because there was no actual finish line - just a tent-type thing where everyone was gathering under to take pictures.  The one awesome thing about the 5k though was the loud electronic dance music - it was great jogging/walking to the EDM - it kept our spirit levels up even though we were a bit disappointed with the whole event.  We're not sure if we'll do it again or not....  Like Carrie and I said - AWESOME idea, terrible execution!

At the end of the day though, it was nice to be able to get out for a few hours with a great friend and then go out to dinner afterwards in Manchester!

Waiting at the start line

Along the 5k route, the woods were lit up with fluorescent lights... it was really neat!

but alas there was none.

Cool electronic dance music concert to top off the 5k

Too bad we took the picture and then headed out to dinner instead!

Cool Dude

It was absolutely gorgeous out (and I've been cleared by the foot doctor for my foot injury!) so AJ and I took Timber for a walk for the first time since early November.  It felt so good to be out in the fresh air and get some much needed exercise!

'What are these things on my face?'

Still trying to figure out the sunglasses situation

Getting the hang of it!

Looking cool, dude!

Who's got two pointer fingers and is looking cool? This dude!

New Stroller

I mentioned a few posts ago that I had recently started getting back into jogging.  And because of this, I needed to find a different stroller to accompany AJ, Timber and I on our jogging adventures.  So the craigslist search began this past weekend for a BOB Revolution jogging stroller (one of the best jogging strollers on the market!).... Kimmy and I both found this one listing in Barrington, RI for a 6 year old BOB Revolution navy blue stroller for $150.  [I know that might seem a bit pricey to anyone out there who doesn't know anything about BOB strollers, but trust me - this was a downright steal!  Brand new - the strollers go for $360+].  I contacted the seller and by the end of the day on Sunday, I had staked my claim on this stroller.  AJ and I would be making the trek to Barrington (1.5 hours away) the next day to check it out and hopefully pick it up if the condition was as advertised.

Fast forward to today, and look at what we have here:

We are now the proud owners of a BOB Revolution jogging stroller!

I've recently started jogging again and today was such a beautiful day for it that I couldn't resist taking a picture of the bright sky!
