| Before, nice and clean |
 |
| After the initial 1.5 mile run, your cleanliness is over and you army crawl through the lovely mud. |

| My favorite obstacle, the wounded warrior. Another moment when having a non-linebacker spouse really pays off. |
 |
| The mud mile. |
 |
| Near the finish line, after we had taken a dip in the lake so we were fairly clean again. |
 |
| This is the gym where Max attends his Ninja Warrior class. Incidentally, it is the same gym where Simone Biles trains, though we are no where near as dedicate as she! |
 |
| Holly's first dance class! She is taking tap and ballet. |
 |
| Jason wanted to go dirt biking for his 37th birthday and he needed a riding buddy. This is before. |
 |
| This is after. The track was very sandy and after keeping my bike upright for a good hour, I finally biffed it and took a chunk out of my shin from knocking it against the foot pedal. We have since purchased proper shin guards. Did I mention yet how Jason has such an awesome and courageous wife? |
 |
| Jason's birthday weekend included an overnight stay at the amazing historic Woodbine hotel and restaurant in Madisonville. |
 |
| After driving past this giant Sam Houston statue, we finally decided to stop. |
 |
Max's art was chosen to be displayed in our district wide art show.
|
 |
| It's hard to tell from the picture, but the fish in the center was created out of clay. |
 |
| For Max's 10th birthday, we took him to iFly. |

 |
| Max's class did so well in their fundraiser, they got to do a color run, which means running while people throw colored chalk at you. He was the cleanest of the class. |

Halloween
Mallory's Rey staff was made from placing about 20 ring shaped pieces created from our new 3-D printer
over a piece of conduit. Max didn't speak the entire night while he was in costume. Holly is trying to play up her "nice" side.

We had the opportunity to visit Disney World and Lego Land before Thanksgiving break. The weather was perfect, the crowds were thin, and the kids had a great time. It was incredibly exhausting, and I told Jason that I think I am finally Disney-ed out and won't want to go for a long time, which made him happy. He enjoys Disney parks, but it's definitely more my thing.
 |
| We took a rest stop on our drive to Florida at this outdoor museum on the beach of Alabama. |

| I love this picture! This was our 5th and final time to ride Expedition Everest which was by far everyone's favorite ride. We did ride numbers 3,4 and 5 at about 15 minutes before they closed Animal Kingdom, and there was no wait in line. Roller Coasters are amazing in the dark! |
 |
| Day 2 at Magic Kingdom really tired out Holly. This was taken at 8 PM, her usual bedtime. |
 |
| LEGOLAND was fun and not nearly as crowded and crazy as Disney. It was a perfect half-day park. |
 |
The kids enjoyed building their own LEGO cars and racing them down this ramp.
