ColorVibeTM Dallas Race Day
This post is sponsored in part by Tum-E Yummies. All opinions are my own.
Last Saturday we woke up early to attend the Dallas Color Vibe race. I honestly didn’t know what to expect because I’ve never been to one of these color races, but I have heard a lot about them.
Here we are dressed very COLORFUL before the race starts!
Tum-E Yummies was there to offer refreshment for everyone. Tum-E Yummies was a sponsor of Color VibeTM. Tum-E Yummies were perfect for this race because they come in all different colors and flavors. Connor got a Tum-E Yummies temporary tattoo and then we were off to race.
Terence was taking pictures of me and Connor getting ready for take off.
Once you start the race there are different color zones you run through. The first one was green and I got HOSED in green! The color used at Color VibeTM races is 100% safe, edible, biodegradable, and beautiful.
Connor got a little green on him too 🙂
The blue zone
The FINISH LINE!!! I don’t look near as excited as those two ladies in front of me. Ha ha!
Seriously though…Connor is still talking about the race we went to where he got to run through all the colors. There were a lot of kids there too and it was very family friendly. If you are looking for something fun to do as a family I highly recommend a Color VibeTM race. We are looking forward to attending next time they come to town.
Someone get me a wet wipe. Y’all I’m NOT a race person, but this didn’t even feel like a race because it was so much fun! And if you are into races then more power to you.
Color VibeTM is touring all over the country right now, so check out the website and see if you live near a location hosting a Color VibeTM race.
The aftermath and much fun was had! Until next time….

Connor’s 5th Bowling Party
Connor turned 5 last week. I can’t believe my baby is already going to be in Kindergarten. In the blink of an eye they grow up!
We weren’t going to do a birthday party this year, but Connor has been wanting to go bowling so he chose a couple of friends to go bowling with. His best friends Lucas & Bridget met us for some bowling and cookie cake. Of course no birthday would be complete without our Uncle Adam and Aunt Christa 🙂
I think we’ve celebrated every one of his birthdays with them. This year baby Carlisle aka “my future daughter in law” got to join us too!
The kids had fun and I’m glad we got to make some memories. Now all he can talk about is when we can go bowling again. Ha ha!
Happy birthday my sweet Connor boy!

Well, spring is officially here! We have all turned our clocks forward and it’s a bit brighter outside when we get home. It’s time to start thinking about our front yard again and what to plant.
Terence does a great job every year planting and designing our front flower bed. We have owned several Monrovia bushes over the years and they grow just beautifully. One of my favorites is the Monrovia Snowcap Indian Hawthorn.
Here is our front flower bed right now:
The green bushes you see are the Monrovia Snowcap Indian Hawthorn in the winter.
Monrovia Snowcap Indian Hawthorns are compact, mounded shrubs with large, dark green, highly disease-resistant foliage that changes to dramatic, burgundy-red in cold weather.
Clusters of pink buds open to pale pink flowers, fading to white and followed by small bluish-black fruit. So, in the spring they will bloom to look like this:
I picked up another Monrovia Snowcap Indian Hawthorn at my local Nursery last week. I can’t wait to plant it when the weather gets nice outside. These bushes do great in the Texas heat and direct sunlight too!
Monrovia has 3,600 plant varieties that are all nurtured in a customized soil mix that helps develop a strong root system. Mycorrhizae are added to the soil mix–this is a “good fungus” that helps the roots absorb moisture and nutrients from the soil. The sales lady was telling me about this “good fungus” as I checked out with my Monrovia plant and how she loved them herself because they were exceptional plants.
What are you going to plant this spring?
