Little miss

Mommy: Chloe, those sun glasses are SO COOL!

Chloe: No mommy! They are AWSOME!

Yay for mom and Beka!!!!!

They finished the 5k! And MORE!!! Here are the happy runners..

My mom and sister just finished a 5k run this morning...sort of. My sis has run a lot and ran the marathon this past summer. But my mom has worked so hard to lose weight. After having 7 kids, she was too busy taking care of us than herself. The other day she told me she went looking for size 12 jeans (an accomplishment for her) and came home with size 8!!. She hasn't been able to wear size 8 jeans since before she had me (27 years ago). So this was really big for her this morning to run this 5k.

Now for the funny part....

They had the 5k and 1/2 marathon runners start and end in the same spot. They split up somewhere durning the race. Unfortunately, my mom and sister missed that part. They ran until they say mile marker 4! Oops... They, somewhere, took a shortcut (for the 1/2 marathon) and made it through the finish line with some of the first marathon runners!! LOL!! They said it was really funny becuase they were way ahead of the first runners when they started passing them. So it looked like they finished the 1/2 marathon in just over an hour!!! They were even offered a metal for being among the first finshed! So instead of running the three miles ( my mom's goal) they went above and beyond!! More like 7 or 8 miles! I really am proud of her. And you too, Beka!

Blogging? What's that??

Yeah....I've been slacking, I know. But David is in Phoenix tonight with his dad to try to sell his Classic Pontiac, and I'm going to be up all night worried about him until I know he gets there safe (he should arrive there approx. 5am tomorrow morning). So I thought I would take this time to catch up.

Daddy showing Chloe how to hold the little bird. Yes everyone, he's still alive (the bird).

Do you think she's proud of herself??

Tyler thought he was so smart to climb up to the table and finish Chloe's frozen treat.

But I mean, really....could you tell that boy no?

Okay, that's all for now. More to come later.

Jesus wants her for a Sunbeam...

...but Chloe doesn't! My little girl is a Sunbeam now!!! I can't believe it! Unfortunately, neither can Chloe. She had a hard time on Sunday adjusting, so by the end she ended up in the Jr. Nursery with Dave and I. She cried....no screamed when I dropped her off to her class. Her teacher insisted she would be fine so I went to nursery. She went to Sharing Time and it didn't get better. She had to 'go potty' and didn't want to go back. *Sigh* Hopefully next week will be better.

Here she is before the tears...
