5K

before the race
the champion walkers :)
nina and her medal
the results... ken and tanner both had really good times :)

We did it!!! The whole family completed the school's 5K yesterday, and I am SORE... I'm also a wimp, I guess... lol. The kids did really well and we're so proud of them. Ken probably could've won it, but he jogged the first mile with Tanner. Tanner ran almost the whole way. Good Job for the them! Nina got third place in her age group (I think there were only three or four girls in that group... lol). It was a good experience for everyone... My favorite part was walking with my friends. I don't get a lot of chances to catch up with them, so it was great.

My Crazy Snake Dream

So... the other night I had this crazy bad dream about a snake. In my dream I was in my front yard with Caleb and a snake started chasing me. We started running and it jumped to bite me. I had boots on, so it just bit the boot and I kicked it. I thought it was dead, so I put it in one of those plastic shoebox things. Then I started taping it shut with clear packaging tape. I swear, this was the longest dream ever and I spent the entire night taping the box shut. The snake woke up and it was a rattlesnake. Every time I thought the box was taped enough, the lid would be loose or I'd see another hole where the snake was poking it's tail or it's head out and I'd have to keep taping. It was a very stressful sleep that night. So then in my dream, the box became big and there were puppies in it. I could see the snake going for the puppies, but I couldn't let them out because then the snake would get out in my bedroom, but I was frightened for the puppies. I woke up feeling like I hadn't slept all night.... Do you think it's time I stop reading Robby's Snake Adventures blog? LOL

Family Day






I took a day off of work today so we could have a family day. We went to This is the Place, the Hogle Zoo, swimming at the Legacy Center and ordered pizza for dinner. It was a really fun day and we all had a great time. Alyssa got allergies from the animals (of course), but was ok with benadryl and a wash down in the bathroom. It wasn't too hot today, which was nice. All the animals at the zoo were really active today, which was awesome. They were all playing and running around. You don't usually get to see that. The kids all get along well, which is nice. They have little spats like all brothers and sisters do, but overall, they're friends :)

Ken is home :)



Ken and his kids are here. The house is crowded and messy and crazy... but it's really nice to have everyone here. The kids all get along great, and it's weird, but whenever Ken gets home, it feels like he never left. I made Caleb snap some pics of Ken and I... I try to get a couple pic every time he comes home. I also had the kids get some pics of me in my adorable dress to post on my American Homemaker blog on Feminine Friday. Have a fabulous Sunday!!!
