Ok so I have not uploaded a lot of pictures so here is a sneak peak of jan-feb. pictures of Ross and I! We celebrated Nora's birthday in January with Ron, Lorin, Logan, Bill, Jean, and Ken and Nancy eating at Cotton Patch and then relaxing at the LaPrade house with cupcakes and lots of fun! Ross brought the kinect over so Ross, Lorin, Nora, and I played fun games for the rest of the evening! Lorin has some great dance moves on kinect too!! Here is Ross and Nora playing kinect together!

Also, in January we celebrated our friend Jenn's birthday! We went to Buca di Beppo which was really good! She had her cake made by Jessica Hendrickson who has done tons of cakes for me for a variety of occasions!

Ross and I at Buca! We had chicken alfredo with veggies! so yummy!
Oh and it snow/iced way to much! I took a lot of pics but I like this one the best from my adventures outside with Mary from work! We played outside making snow angels and of course a snow ball fight which I lost but it was a good time!
Now that we have had nice weather the past week or so I have been able to take Parker on walks around the area! We went on a 1 mile walk behind where we live on the Watters CreeK Trails and he loves getting outside and smelling everything! Today we went for about a 3 mile walk to find more running courses for me but he kept up and was thrilled when he got a treat when we got back home!
Last week Ross and I went on a cupcake date! We went to the Cupcakery in Frisco! My mom had gotten me a giftcard there for christmas and this was the first time we made it over there! It was great! I had the raspberry with champagne frosting and Ross had peanut butter and chocolate! I can't wait till next time! I still have plenty of cupcake money!!
A few weeks ago we went out in downtown mckinney with some friends of ours! We had a great night! It was after all the snow and ice so we were thrilled to get to hang out and be outside for a change! Here are all the girls: Meg, Tammy, Britt, and I!

Beat Goes On!
This morning we met at White Rock Lake to run 9 miles around the lake!
It was a great morning for a run and I was ready to go!
I ran the 9 miles in 1 hour and 24 minutes!
I kept a steady pace throughout the entire time
and tried the new GU chomps in watermelon and they
were great to keep me going!!
I am training for the Rock and Roll half in March and
the 9 miles was a base to see where you are currently.
I got a new pair of Nike running shorts to wear
and they are so bright you can even see them in the dark!
Ok now I am off for the rest of the day!!
Have a good one! ;)

(on a side note this pic was taken at 4:30am =no makeup!)

Splitsville Bowling!

Friday, February 11, 2011
We went bowling with Alina and Jason a few weeks ago and I just haven't plugged in the camera cord to upload the pics! We had a great time! We got there and discovered there was a 2 hour wait but with good company and music blasting we had an amazing time waiting to bowl!!
Once we started to bowl we quickly discovered that everyone was pretty talented well...except for me! haha! We bowled and talked the night away and can't wait to go back for some more fun in the lanes!!
Ross bowling! He was actually pretty good...but Jason truly won the game!
Girl time!! Jason was being creepy!! haha!!
The Smiths!
The LaPrades!
