2012 WARRIOR DASH

Today was such a fun time for the Bahr family because it was the 2012 Warrior Dash at Budd's Creek. The Bahr boys participated in this 3 mile run consisting of multiple obstacle courses. Last year, they dressed as Ric Flair and this year, they opted for Elvis Pressley. Even Blake, Charlie, Alice, and Josie had little Elvis costumes. It was hysterical!!  Here are some pictures from the day:

MOTHER'S DAY GIFT FOR MOMMY

Skylar made the most precious gift for me at daycare and I would love to share it.  It's a little plant that has Skylar's name and footprint on it along with a sweet little card.  The card reads "Mommy, I love you from the tip of my nose to the bottom of my toes" and has her little nose and footprint on it.  It's things like this that melt my heart!!!  I love you more than you know, Baby Sky!!!

HAPPY MOMMY'S DAY!!

Mother's Day was extra special this year because it was my very first Mother's Day as a mommy.  We drove across the Bay Bridge and went to one of our favorite restaurants on the water.  I am so lucky to have the best mom and daughter in the world!

I hope everyone else appreciates their mommy on this special day!!

FLOWERS AND CANDY

I'm the luckiest mommy in the world because someone special sent me flowers and candy to work for Mother's Day!  What a great baby and husband!!  I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful family!!

PICTURE DAY AT SKYLAR'S DAYCARE

 Today is picture day at Skylar's daycare so we dolled her up in a little dress that her Great Grammy Stevens bought for her.  Here is the little lady with her mommy and daddy!!  Dressing little girls up is so much fun!!



NOTHING LIKE DADDY!

SAMPSON'S NEW DOG BED

I'm so excited because Sampson's new orthopaedic dog bed arrived today.  We felt so guilty when the baby arrived because we had to get rid of Sampson's "queen" size bed so we wanted to get him a comfy bed to call his own.  We hope our doggie gets a good night's rest on his new bed.  Here are some pics..............

Sampson's new bed with coordinating dog bone pillow

Looks like Sampson has found his bed and is settling in nicely

Hey Little Girl - That's not your bed!!!! :-)  Looks like Sampson is going to have a little competition for who is going to lounge on the new bed!

DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY!!

PERRY'S WEDDING

Dave and I enlisted my parents to babysit Skylar this weekend so we could attend Jason and Bridgett's wedding.  The wedding ceremony, reception, and food were amazing and we had a blast dancing the night away.  We wish the bride and groom the best of luck!!! Here are some pictures from the fun-filled evening:

"TITANO BOA"

Dave, Baby Sky, and I took a day trip down to Washington D.C for the day to visit the Natural History Museum and walk around the National Mall.  A co-worker of mine had been telling me all about the "monstrous snake" at the Natural History Museum so I was a bit intrigued.  As everyone knows, I am terrified of snakes, but this exhibit really peaked my curiosity so I wanted to check it out with the family. 



Natural History Museum



Skylar and I in front the the of "TITANO BOA" exhibit at the Natural History Museum.  You can see the reluctancy in my face, but I had to get a picture to prove I was able to face my fear and view this exhibit.  All I know about this snake was that it's the biggest snake in the world and the remains were found in the mines of Peru.  I'm sure there were additional details, but I kind of wanted to get in and get out REALLY QUICK. :-/ 



Dave and the baby in front of a dinosaur fossil



OH NO - Don't eat my baby!!!



After the museum, we headed  to the National Mall to walk around and indulge in a Nathan's hot dog and fries.  The view was great and the weather was incredible!  It was a PERFECT family day!





OCEAN CITY HALF MARATHON

Dave, Doug, and I participated in our second Ocean City Half Marathon in Ocean City, MD.  We had a blast and all accomplished our goals of beating our times from the first Ocean City Half Marathon.  Dave's official chip time was 1 hour and 46 minutes and Doug and I tied at an official chip time of 1 hour and 59 minutes.  Dave and I beat our time by 1 minute and Doug beat his time by about 30 minutes!! GOOD JOB, BOYS!!  The hard work paid off!!
