Here are some random pics and stories to go with them.
Jacey's good at not letting the cat out of the bag! Ha ha! Poor Fluffy.
Jax competed in the Pine Wood Derby for the last time. He designed it, helped cut it out and sand it, painted it himself and named it "Lightning." You can't tell in the pic but he painted lightning bolts on it. The silver part is all the coins duck taped to the front to weigh the sucker down. He won one of the races with "Lightning" and was mighty proud, though his stud-muffin, I'm-so-awesome-I-can't-even-smile face doesn't show it.
As you may know, I do crazy things when Cody is away. This past weekend was no different as he attended state track, but nothing bad happened (like the time I accidentally flooded the laundry room-oopsie). This time, I borrowed my good friend's double stroller (thank you, Jill) and made all the kids participate in a 5k walk. Jax was a super sport and pushed Jentz in the umbrella stroller, while Jacey and Javen took turns riding by Jetta in the back or front of the double. We did pretty good, alright, all things considered and had an overall good time. We're training for a 5k on the 4th of July. Hopefully practicing while pushing an extra 100 lbs (give or take) will really let me fly when I run it solo.
This is Jentz. He is 2! Those are nursing pads. 'Nuff said.
Here's my sweetie pie. Babies are so angelic when they're sleeping.
While boiling eggs for Easter, one sorta popped open but didn't break off, leaving half of the yolk just hanging out. It looked so funny. But I drew a face on it to give it some character. How crazy is that?! His name is Bubble Head :)

Jacey's so funny. Way to go, Jax! You forgot to mention that he's in a play!!! Way to train with all 5 kids! I can't even take my one. Jentz! Oh mercy! Silly boy! Jetta's beautiful. Can't wait to meet her. And that egg? What the?

I just spent literally 30 minutes commenting on this post and the entire fam. It was too long and wouldn't publish. Can you pain a frowny face on the back of that coolest-ever egg?!

Paint (I gotta go to the bathroom, I can't type correctly!)

Love it all! You're a brave woman taking all 5 kids for a walk. And Jentz, what a funny kid! I love it!

Cute pictures. The egg is way cool. Jentz with the nursing pads is so funny. I am so impressed you took all your kids on a 5K all by yourself. I think anyone who is training for a race (whether running or biking) should train with kids, the actual race would be way easy after that. It will be fun seeing you on the 4th. Let me know when you are coming down, we might have a friend bbq.

Jacey and her cats... I do love Jax's "blue steel" look. And can't wait to run with you! Oh we're gonna have so much fun!!!
