May Fun 2012

May is always a busy month for us - it's busy at work, Mother's Day, my birthday, and our anniversary. Plus, the weather is usually consistently nice so we start packing in the activities. Here's a recap in pictures of a few of things we've done so far this month.

Alec's first trip to the dentist

We've had some more Mommy and Alec lunches.

We've spent some time downtown - we <3 Little Rock!

Went to Disney on Ice

Alec is finally big/old enough to push the little carts at Kroger

We've been running down at the Big Dam Bridge on Wednesdays

We created some art for Grandma and Mammie

We had a donut for breakfast at Krispy Kreme

We went to Russellville to see my cousins graduate - I was 13 when they were born!

We made our first family trip to the library - Alec wanted books about airplanes and dinosaurs

We ran the Dino Dash - I pushed Alec in the stroller

Alec ran/walked the 1K at Dino Dash - he wouldn't wear his number!

I'm pretty sure we finished last! It was so cute!

Post race powerade

Post race Popsicle

After the race we played at the Museum of Discovery...

...And went to the Farmer's Market

We got our Riverfest tickets - yay for Boyz to Men and Third Eye Blind!

We had gyros at the Greek Food Festival - yum!

This post is all over the place! It really shows the wide variety of things you can do in Little Rock, we really love living here and can't picture ourselves anywhere else. It's close to our families but still big enough for diversity and a wide variety of fun things to do!

A few things I want to write down about the pictures above:

Alec's first trip to the dentist - he did really well. This was just a check-up and for Alec to get used to going to the dentist. The place was really fun. They had a cute waiting room with lots of games, books, and it all looked like a tree! There were tvs above the dentist chairs that were playing Toy Story. The dentist told us to start using fluoride toothpaste on Alec - he's such a big boy!

We went to Disney on Ice at Verizon - Alec's favorite part was the Lion King. At school, they read about Timone and Pumba and Hakuna Matata. Alec loves to sing Hakuna Matata - I think we play it about 5 times on the way to school in the morning. It's so cute to hear him sing the song.

Dino Dash was our first family 5K - I pushed Alec in the stroller 5K, Eric ran the 5K, and we all took place in the 1K fun run. Alec was super shy and didn't want to participate at all in the 1K. We got a really slow start and he wouldn't move. Finally about half-way into the race and he started running but only on the sidewalk. We were all chasing each other! He finished last but I think he had a lot of fun. He got a little dinosaur for running the race. Here's a picture from the race - we are in the background, I'm wearing green.
