Cruiz'n to Mexico!!

April 5, 2011

Well if there is one thing that you should know about Team Eady is that we WORK hard to PLAY hard!! In order to keep our marriage strong, Terry and I like to have "get-a-ways" OFTEN to keep our relationship "real!" The wonderful girls that I run with and I decided that we should do a cruise to unwind after a long winter. We all had the best time! We ate, we got a lot of sun and most of all, we had FUN!! Terry and I really enjoyed the alone time, but also had fun with the group! Terry and I went parasailing for the 1st time ever on Paradise Island in Cozumel, Mexico....it was great!! We went on the Carnival Ship out of Mobile and went to Cozumel...we have decided to make it an annual trip, so we are already looking forward to next year!!

Ohhh yeah!!

Up, Up & Away!

Bryant Turns 3!!

March 14, 2011

My sweet little B-Baby Bryant turned 3 and it was very bittersweet for me!! 3 is such a funny age, not quite a "toddler"anymore, but still not quite big enough to do it all on their own! Bryant is such a sweet little boy and its so much fun to watch our "baby" grow and explore! We celebrated his 3rd birthday with a "Popcorn" theme b-day party at the rink! Everything had to do with "POPCORN" and it all turned out very cute! The best part was the "popcorn" cupcakes! He loves cotton candy, so we did cotton candy cupcakes for his class! The birthday party was just a small party with all his school friends on a Tuesday afternoon, afterschool! Over all it was a sweet party with lots of great friends! Happy Birthday Bryant!

March=Mardi Gras 2011

Ohh Mardi Gras how we love you!! Living on the Gulf Coast has many benefits....especially celebrating Mardi Gras!! This year Terry and I went to 3 balls and too many parades to count! If you have never experienced Mardi Gras, well then you don't know what your missing! Its so much fun.....fun for kids and adults! Terry and I and friends ran the Joe Cain 5K race on "Joe Cain" which is always a lot of FUN!! After this Mardi Gras season, I decided that I wanted to become a little more involved, so I decided to apply for the OOMM (Order of Mystic Magnolias)association. To my surprise I got voted IN and now I am a member of the OOMM organization!! I'm so excited to join this "secret society!" I know its going to be lots of fun to see how the whole production is put on!! Here are a few pictures of this years Mardi Gras Celebration! Kamden's school even had a parade that the kindergartens got to "throw" in!!

Disney Princess Half Marathon Take 2

March 6, 2011
Well we have traveled to Disney yet again for another Run Disney Race!! I ran this race last year and "liked" it! It was my 1st half marathon, so it was a bit of a challenge, but this year was sooo much more fun because a few of my running girls came and one of my very best friends since 5th grade, Lisa, came too! We had a great trip!! Lisa and I stopped at every single picture stop during the half marathon, so we finish in 2:55 minutes....I must say that my legs hurt worse after running it in that time then they did 3 weeks earlier after running the NOLA half in 2:02, but it was well worth it because we had a great time! The kids ran the Royal Family Fun Runs again this year and had a great time!! Kam and I dressed in matching Minnie Mouse coustumes, which was very cute! It was a bitter sweet trip because believe it or not we will NOT be returning back to Disney this year :( We have decided to go to Washington DC this October in lieu of Disney!! We are all very excited, but I am sure going to miss hanging with Mickey, but we will be back next year!!

Team Eady's 1st Beach Trip of 2011

I must say one of my favorite parts about warmer weather (cant really say "spring" since its still the middle of February...lol) is the 1st beach trip of the season! Its usually very highly anticipated! We wait for months for the weather to warm up just enough to slip our suits on and head out the door!! Growing up with the beach minutes away has spoiled me in many ways and mostly its just that feeling of digging your feet in the sand, sitting back in your lawn chair and soaking up the beautiful sun. For some people, going to the beach is not all that much fun but for me, it the best part about living on the gulf coast. The smell of the salt from the ocean just has a way of making everything thats wrong in life right...well if only it were that easy...lol but it does have a way of bringing a certain peace to any day! Well Team Eady was lucky enough to experience the beach a little EARLY this year with 75 degree temps Feb. 20th!! The Water was FREEZING but the sun was HOT so we enjoyed a day full of great food, great friends, warm weather. We flew kites, made sand castles and even buried each other all on what I would call "A Perfect Day!" It wasn't too hot and there was NO humidity....thats makes for an unusual day in the south, but the best part was that we were all together, healthy and happy!!

Go Daddy Bowl!

So we took the kids to their first "bowl" game with our favorite football friends, The Rowe's! It was the Go Daddy Bowl at Ladd Pebbles Stadium in Mobile, where the Jags games are held. We had a BLAST! We had endzone seats and it ended up being the BEST seats in the house! Every field goal came directly to us and the kids almost caught a ball! It was a little chilly, but nothing a few blankets couldn't warm up! The kids loved the atmosphere and so did we! Perfect for their 1st "bowl" game! We cant wait to go again next year!

Fun Times!

Sweet Babies!

Kamden turns 6!!

Well my super sweet baby girl turned 6!! Its hard to believe that and I am not sure where the time has gone?? She is truly such a joy and has the kindest heart! She is such a sweet, kind spirit...even with 2 brothers!! We celebrated her 6th b-day at Paint n Pals! She wanted an "All Girls" party! They girls had a pre sketched canvas and they painted zebra purses! The whole party was zebra themed. We had a great time and Kamden really enjoyed celebrating with her sweet friends!
