Lovin' Life

We took the kids and some of their friends downtown to a St. Patrick's Day Celebration.  Here is the town square fountain dyed GREEN.  Pretty Cool!  Everyone had their green on.  Yes...I did realize that when the suburban is full to the brim with kids...that means you have 6 kids with you!  Yikes.  It was a blast!  Unfortunately, we did not get to stay long because Christopher (being total boy) ran into a stone pillar and really gashed his leg.  Poor thing!  I think he was trying to see how high he could jump with both feet.  So a little first aid....and then we decided the only way to feel better is some yummy frozen yogurt of course!



The girls table.  Kate with her 2 friends Anna Claire and McCall.  Here is Caroline rockin' her first set of piggytails.  Ugh...she is so stinking cute!!!

We have been spending every moment we can outside.  The weather is so perfect and I think we are finally past our "awful pollen drop".  Ugh!  Here are Claire and Kate at their "flower sale"...



Dad and Caroline working in the yard on a Saturday!!


I guess that is one way to haul around some stuff in the yard.   Hang on Caroline!!
This past Saturday night Emma Grace, Brett and myself ran in the Mellow Mushroom 5K.  It was held at 5pm on Auburn campus.  It was so much fun!!!  I pushed Caroline in the BOB stroller and we actually won the "stroller division"!  Way to go Caroline!!  The prizes were so fun....playing on the groovy mellow mushroom theme they gave out lava lamps!  How funny is that. 
Caroline fueling up waiting for the race to start!  Ha!


Some runner friends, The Sharma's

Here is a "just cause" picture.  This is before church one morning!  Caroline is such a stinker!!!  I love my family!  Never a dull moment.  Perfect.

Here is Emma Grace and her friend McKinsley hanging out.  They put these crazy colored hair "pieces" in.  We tried to trick Dad when we got home by convincing him it was permanent.  He fell for it for a few minutes and you could see his blood pressure going up and EG was trying to explain why she would do something so "reckless" like that.  EG and I couldn't hold it in for long and just busted out laughing.  Hehe!
2 cute sisters!!!

    That green fountain was a hoot. Proud of you winners of the "stroller division" at the 5K in Auburn. I'm loving seeing my people in Scullenville loving life.

Meet Caroline Brooke Scullen!

Image
Wow...so much to say...so many pictures to show.... Caroline Brooke Scullen arrived on Monday, December 27, 2010 at 5:33pm. She was just perfect. We came home from the hospital on Wednesday and needless to say....the days have been a bit of a blur ever since! :) Unfortunately, both Brett and I have been really sick with sinus/chest cold nastiness. So, in addition to being a bit sleep deprived we also are totally under the weather...a bummer! I am trying to suffer through it without taking any of the "strong stuff" for meds... Anyways....things are getting better everyday! She is just so great and I know couldn't imagine our family without her. All 3 of the kids are so great with her...I think she never leaves one of her siblings arms... She weighed 7 lb 1 oz at birth and we left the hospital at 6 lb 10 oz. We went back for a weigh in yesterday and she know weighs 6 lb 5 oz. The doctors are now concerned that she has lost a little too much. I have been struggling...

The Scullen's Summer

Image
Well....the Scullen's have been busy. It is quite obvious since I haven't posted since...well...early May. Yikes. The summer has come and gone and school is back. We have had an exciting summer to say the least. Get ready for picture overload...I am going to try and catch us up...and these are just the highlights! Ha! Caroline and I kicked the summer off with the annual "Mother - Daughter" Trip in May.  It was fantastic.  Long gone are the days of  no babies, sleeping in, 3 cups of coffee, lots of late nights with yummy wine...No...this trip has evolved.  It is different, but just as refreshing.  I now come home from this trip utterly exhausted, but with my heart smiling, and my spirit revived!  I need my second moms and my best friends.  One year passes way too slow. This year we rented a home in Galveston, TX.  It was gorgeous.  Yup...could have moved in.  Loved it all. Daily walks by the "Grammies" and kiddos B.L.I.S.S...

One Big Update!

Image
Since it has been so long since I posted.... I thought I would do one big update on each member of the Scullen family to see what we have been up to! Here it goes - I am so proud of Brett - he has started running as of a few months ago and he has now run in 2 races. He is an official "runner". Here he is in his first 5K with his buddy Jay. He did great. Brett and I have been running at least 3x/week. I have had a slow transition back into being a runner. It is very humbling to say the least. I am feeling stronger now and just keep telling myself this is a slow process. Caroline, myself, and the BOB jogging stroller have had a lot of time together especially hoofing it up our massive hills in the area. Ha! I figured I didn't run while pregnant and just post baby which totals up to 7 months. Yikes! I am much happier when I have the time to run....That is the hardest part. Between working, mom duties, wife duties little is left over, but I am learning when to sn...
