The five minute face :)

This is for a special friend :) I love makeup and over the years I would like to think that I have learned a few things. This is a step by step guide to the 5 min. face.

1. tinted moisturizer.... or liquid foundation if you need something heavier. I like a tinted moisturizer because it moisturizes and gives you a little coverage.
2. loose powder. the key to your loose powder is your brush. You want to use a Large brush.
3. creaseless cream eyeshadow. It is the easiest eye shaddow. I use my finger and swipe it over my lid. I love benefit butter cream and sparkling champagne
4. blush. Again use a larger blush. I like bright colors a pinky pink is actually the universal color that looks great on everyone
5. Mascara




After you master this you can begin to play :)

The luck of the irish...

This past weekend Jason and I stayed in Jackson. We left around lunch Friday and headed down for some shopping and lunch. We went to Dicks and I got a new outfit for my race the next day and Jason got some things too. After Dicks we had lunch at one of our favorite places, Five Guys. It is amazing, if you havent tried it, i suggest you do :) When we left there we went to Fleet Feet so I could get some new running shoes. My old ones had some miles on them. Before we went to our hotel we had wedding cake cupcakes from Gigi's cupcakes. They were amazing, but no way we could eat all of that icing! We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in the old King Edward Hotel. The hotel was so nice. We got in and dressed and met up with our friends the Popes and Matthew McCool for some good seafood at Shuckers. We called it an early night because Jason, Gena and I were racing the next morning. Bright and early Saturday we got up to race in the Mal's St. Paddy's day race. It was great weather and I set a new pr. I haven't really ran much since my half in December, so this past week I decided to get back in the groove. I have already got 3 more races in mind. I want to do the Natchez Trace 10k, the Marathon Makeover 1/2 marathon in October ( the day after my bday!) and The St. Jude Marathon... better get busy. After the race I went with Jason to Edwin Watts and he got some new clubs. We had lunch at Kiefers. It is amazing!!! We ate at the one down town and then met up with some of our friends for the parade. We had lunch at Hal and Mal's with our friends Grant and Rachel. We decided that downtown was way to busy and we were ready for an easy night so we went to the movies and saw "Hall Pass" It is HILARIOUS, BUT very graphic. Not one for everybody. We finished the night with some Cold Stone :) Jason and I packed up early Sunday morning, had Krispy Kreme and made it home in time for church. After church we met up with Katelin and Trent and the boys taught us to play golf ( not very well). It was a GREAT weekend, but we were really glad to get Jack back home Sunday evening.

"Children are a gift from God" Deut. 7:13

This past Sunday we had Jack's baby dedication. It was amazing. I realized how blessed we are. God has given me everything Jason, Jack and a wonderful family. I was so excited for Jack when I looked into the crowd sunday and saw all of the amazing family we had there. I know that each of them will play a part in the man that Jack becomes. I also know that they will not take that job lightly and will be Godly influences. Thank you all so much, family and friends, for loving Jack as much as we do!!

The Memphis Zoo!













Last weekend we took Jack to the Memphis Zoo. Jason's parents went with us and we headed that way about 6:30 in the am. We stopped in Batesville at Cracker Barrel for some breakfast (yum) and arrived at the zoo around 10. We had a blast! I loved it and Jack really enjoyed all the animals. I can't wait to take him back. Afterward we had dinner at Rendezvous (even bigger yum!)

Sunday drive!


Jack was so excited to be able to ride his cars 4 wheeler that his Nana got him for christmas! Thanks Nana!

Fun park day!


A couple of weeks ago when it first started getting nice we met the Pettit's for a play date at the park. The boys had a blast! We ran into the Oliver's while we were there but my camera died! We had a great time!
