HVBC Pinewood Derby

We had our Annual Pinewood Derby Race last week.  Kylee had a Zebra Peace Sign Flip Flop Car.  Clancy had a Flatbed Trailer....which had a tractor on it until the guys drilled all the way thru it trying to lighten it and broke it off.  Cody just had a FAST car!  We had a lot of FUN!

BLUEBONNETS!!!

My BFF and I took Bluebonnet pics of the kids last night.  We wanted to squeeze it in while it wasn't raining and before the bluebonnets were gone!  They were both pretty cooperative. We ended up with like 350 shots and I finally narrowed it down to 50 something.  ( I am NOT good at narrowing!)  Check my sidebar for all 50 if you wanna see!  I am also going to try to edit/photoshop these pics.  I've never really done that.  I've always just used the pics however they came out.  I will post what I come up with!!

Komen Central Texas Race for the Cure®


April 24, 2010

Dear Friends and Family,

I recently accepted the challenge to raise funds to support the 2010 Komen Central Texas Race for the Cure on 04/24/2010 in the fight against breast cancer. One in eight women will be stricken with breast cancer in her lifetime and the more we raise, the more the Central Texas Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure can give back to fund vital breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs in our own community and support the national search for a cure.

Click here to visit my personal page and pledge your support.

Please join me in the fight by pledging in support of my participation in the Race or contributing generously to the 2010 Komen Central Texas Race for the Cure. Your tax-deductible contribution will fund innovative outreach and awareness programs for medically underserved communities in the Central Texas area and national breast cancer research. It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause - you can make a donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. If you would prefer, you can also send your tax-deductible contribution to the address listed below. Whatever you can give will help! I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

Thank you so much for your time and support in the fight against breast cancer! Every step counts!

Sincerely,

Erika Archie

Bento #29 and a Giveaway!

Sorry this pic is a little crooked and so are the boxes.  Last night we took a breather!  I didn't go to Zumba.  It was amazing!  I had supper cooked, dishes washed, 3 lunches packed, 2 kiddos bathed and ready for bed, all by 7:45pm!!!  The hubby got home about that time and we all relaxed in the living room for a movie! 

This bento consists of a Frogwich with fruit leather cutouts on top, Strawberry hearts, Broccoli and ranch, Kolby Jack cheese flowers, and a granola bar all packed in the Laptop Lunchbox!

The Vintage Pearl is having a great Giveaway today!  Check out her Blog!!

My Mom and I walked in the Statesman Capitol 10K on Sunday.  It was my first 10K.  I love walking, I just don't get to do it much lately.  It was an awesome experience! I am looking forward to our next walk already.  Thanks for inviting me Mom!
