Connor Turns 5
I can’t believe that our sweet boy has already been a part of our world for 5 years. It seems like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital. He cracks me up on a daily basis and says the most hilarious things! I can’t imagine our lives without you in it sweet Connor boy. You have such a loving heart and are so thoughtful.
Thank you Lord for blessing us with this life. He’s changed me in so many ways and I can’t imagine living without him. Lord, I pray you protect, keep, and guide him in all things.
Amen.
Happy birthday sweet boy!
Our first week home:
FIVE YEARS!
Birthday breakfast:
All he wanted was a Stuffies Dragon. He saw a commercial on TV and has been begging for one ever since. I searched EVERYWHERE! They had them at Target, but were almost completely sold out. Thank goodness for the Internet and fast shipping 🙂
We had a little Batman party with his class at school too:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNOR!
It’s HOT Then it’s COLD!
This crazy weather is driving me nutso and playing with everyone’s immune system. I can’t handle it! I got my hair done yesterday. I did the “bayalage” hair dye method and I really like it in comparison to highlights. It’s much more natural and when my roots grow out I don’t think it will be as noticeable.
My baby is turning FIVE tomorrow! I can’t stand it! We aren’t really throwing him a party this year. I’m going to take some Batman cupcakes up to school so he can enjoy them with his friends & that’s about it.
Things have been kinda crazy around here lately and LOTS going on that I’m sure I’ll eventually get to writing about. All is well though 🙂
Here are some snow pics:

Color Vibe 5K Color Run + Giveaway! #TumEYummies
This post is sponsored. All products mentioned and reviewed on this page are compliments of Tum-E Yummies. All opinions of the products are my own.
In a couple of weeks I’ll be attending the Color Vibe race in Dallas. I’m so excited about this because I’ve never been. I’ve heard a lot of friends talk about it and it always seems like so much fun!
To get ready for the big race we made our own Color Your World kit with colorful accessories to wear during the race.
Like some fun shades perhaps?
One of the greatest things about doing a color run is that this is your chance to let loose and have fun. Some race participants even dress up in costume. This is the time to have fun with COLOR!
We made some mustache necklaces to wear:
Color bands and hair ties:
These are so easy to make with elastic you can find at any craft store.
White shirts are great to wear because you are going to get drenched in color. I got our family some tie-dye shirts because….well, why not?
The more colorful the better! Wear as MUCH color as you want to. The color used at Color VibeTM races is 100% safe, edible, biodegradable, and beautiful. I love seeing the look in people’s faces during the Color Vibe race…it just looks like everyone is having so much FUN!
We are going to bring snacks and some colorful Tum-E Yummies drinks to the race. Tum-E Yummies is a proud sponsor of Color VibeTM, a 5K color run or walk that’s known for family-friendly fun. Tum-E Yummies are perfect for this race because they come in all different colors and flavors.
Color VibeTM is a color-blast 5K race for all ages that is all about having fun for the whole family while getting covered from head to toe with splashes of color.
Tum-E Yummies will be onsite at the race in Dallas offering free samples, giveaways and an interactive photo experience to capture colorful photos of race participants after visiting the Tum-E Yummies tent for colorful face paint, glitter, hair color and temporary tattoos – a colorful keepsake of the fun day you and your family will experience.

Beverly Goldberg Quote of the Week
If you aren’t watching my favorite show on TV you need to start STAT! I love The Goldbergs…featuring my favorite 80’s mom Beverly. Some of the stuff she does and says will have you rolling. It reminds me so much of my childhood too.
The 80’s totally rocked! (But I hope shoulder pads don’t ever come back in style…who thought looking like a linebacker was cool?)
What Does Your Heart Sound Like? #HeartbeatSymphony
Our heart is our most important instrument, steadily composing the rhythm of our lives. But imagine if the rhythm of your heart could actually create music.
Dignity Health enlisted the creative genius of Composer Miles Kennedy to create a symphony of human heartbeats that could grow and evolve the more people who joined in. This is where YOU come in!
The whole coalesces to form a highly engaging, personal, ever evolving and growing composition that reflects the personal rhythms of its users.
Go to the Heartbeat Symphony website:
Click “Add Your Heartbeat”
Allow the Dignity Health website temporary access to your webcam so it can take your photo and monitor your heart rate. The heartbeat detection component is based off of an MIT project which allows the application to monitor changes in the blood flow to the face, that are imperceptible to the naked eye, and derives an approximate heartbeat from them.
The application will ask if you want to use the photo that is taken, upload a new photo, or use the brand image of a heart in place of a photo – please choose whichever you are most comfortable with!
