Here we go!




Mile 23. Hitting the WALL....


Almost there!


Carolyn and I. Oddly enough, she flew in from Houston just to run with my partner Jennifer. Jennifer ended up falling back due to dehydration, so Carolyn and I became fast friends! Nothing like the misery of 26 miles to bring two people together!


Jennifer, Me and Carolyn

BLOGAPALOOZA!

These last few weeks have been the busiest I can remember in a long time! I'll start with Michael's Tball party, but be sure to keep scrolling down b/c there are tons of posts to read!

Michael's T-Ball season ended with a team party at Triple
Play. It's a bounce house place with party rooms. The team rented it out and ended with a pizza party. All of the players got a trophy and a medal. We were so so lucky to have ended up with this group. The coaches were so great and all the parents made it a good experience.

Dad and Wendy visit FL!

Dad and Wendy came over Halloween weekend and shared in all the fun! Sunday we stayed home and fished out back. It was a nice break from all the craziness!

Halloween x 3!

Halloween this year was the BUSIEST one we have ever had! We started our festivites on Saturday morning and weren't finished until Monday night! Mike was a pirate, Hank was a bullrider and Clare was a busy little bee!

Halloween with the Neighborhood

My friend Lisa puts on quite a Halloween party for the kids in our neighborhood. Everyone dresses up and meets at her house. She makes food for everyone and then her father in law pulls everyone around the neighborhood on a hay ride. He stops along the way and all the kids jump off and run to all the houses, collecting all the candy they can get their little hands on! Clare got right into the spirt of things. She would run to each house yelling "yaaaaaay!" and then run from each house saying "nexxxxt hooouusse!" She was trying so hard to keep up with the big kids, she fell 3 times, ripping the knees out of her tights. Although she ended up with some bumps and bruises, it wasn't anything a little candy couldn't fix!

Halloween

Sweet Seasons Farm is a place where the kids can go through a corn maze, go on a hay ride and play on their play ground. We went with my friends and we all had a good time. My dad and Wendy were in town for all of the Halloween festivites too:)

Marine Corps Ball!

Finally, after 3 yrs, Joe and I got to go to a ball again! Although we don't know too many people here, we still had a good time. We had a great sitter that the kids really loved. So having a night out was really nice. The Commandant was the guest speaker but as far as I could tell, the pageant was exactly the same as it was when we went to this ball 5 yrs ago:)
