5k

I did it!  I ran my first (and maybe last) 5k.  It was great feeling.  I felt great running it until we got the very end...which was UP HILL.  Thankfully I could see the finish line so it gave me some good motivation to finish strong.  I had 2 goals heading into the race 1) RUN the whole thing...no walking 2) Finish under 40 minutes (not too hard...I know).  I am happy to say I accomplished both.  YAY!  Never thought I'd run a 5k!

Ode to Fudge

Oh Mr. Fudge.  You make my day sometimes.  Your sweet smile and excitement when I come 

in your room melts my heart.  I love your little squishy face.  I adore your fascination with all things

McQueen and Trains.

 Sporting his new Superman shirt...just like big brothers.

Watching Isaacs preschool program.

We love our Spencer.  He is so funny.  He loves playing with his cars, and can often be found trying to keep up with Natali & Isaac.  He will still snuggle me after his naps and gives the best "loves".

Happy Birthday Ben

Ben celebrated big 32 this year.  It was a rather anticlimatic day.  He woke up bright and early...4:30am to be exact.  Was in surgery all day and was post call.  I put up a few decorations and well...thats about it.  I did make a homemade chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting.  It was a big hit!

The kids were SO very anxious to help blow out candles and eat cake.  Happy Birthday Dad!
