First 5k and Easter Fun!

As most of you know, I have been doing Stroller Strides for quite some time, and have an amazing instructor, Missti.  Now, something about Missti is that she makes you feel like you can accomplish anything, which is good and bad.  ;)  With this in mind, Missti had talked me into doing a 5k with her and a group of other moms, and I am no runner!  This particular 5k was the Hot Chocolate 5k/15k in downtown Seattle, and was only a few days away, so I did no training other than Stroller Strides and some Stroller Barre classes.  But Missti made me believe I could do it...and I did!  My first ever 5k was so much fun!  I didn't finish fast, and I had to walk just a few short times, but I did it!!

The girls after the 5k!

Later that day, Cody and I decided to go on a mini hike with Hunter and Vega.  I started my day with a 5k run and finished it with a hike...Seattle has gotten into my brain!!  ;)

Love my cute boys!

Soon after that, I went through training with some other Stroller Strides girls to become Stroller Strides and Stroller Barre certified and become an instructor and work for Missti.  It was a very tough and fun training for three days of training, but I'm so very glad we did it.  It has been such a blast teaching and working with Missti, Ashley and Sayeh.  :)

During training, learning lots!

After the running and the SS training, Hunter and I had a great time with play dates, running around with Vega, and playing with daddy.

Hunter looking at Maday's picture, he LOVES his Titi!!

I have no idea what Hunter is doing here, but it was hilarious!

I think he is practicing his yoga poses...this is downward dog!

Hunter LOVES to swing.  If we let him, he would swing for hours.

Happy dude!

Hunter found a new seat.  He needed help getting out tho.  :)

Mommy leaves the room for 10 seconds and comes back to find this...

Hunter "helping" put his clothes away.

Hunter started giving kisses this way...it is so cute and still so funny!  Love it!

Hunter thought that Vega needed ALL of her toys, so he piled them all on her while she was sleeping.  All you can see is her eyes!  :)

The week before Easter, my mom and step-dad came to visit and stayed in Port Townsend, a cute little town about 2 hours North West of Seattle.  We drove up and hung out with them and toured the little town, then had dinner at their condo they were staying at.  It was a fun little day trip, and it was so good to see them.  :)

On Easter, we were back to our house awaiting the Easter Bunny...Hunter got a Hunter size chair, some treats, and we all got new hiking shoes, Camelbak water bottles, and Puma socks.  :)

I think the Easter Bunny found us!!

For our Easter dinner, we were invited over to our friends, the Clark's, home to celebrate.  We went over early afternoon and let the kids all play together in their secluded back yard.  After weeks of rain, Easter day was sunny and a warm 68 degrees.  Perfect weather.  :)

Some extra goodies for the kids.

It was a great Easter celebration, and a big thanks to the Clark's for hosting!!
