Wannabe Cancer Free 5K!

This past weekend the four of us participated in a very special 5K!  A friend of ours has a rare form of cancer and has done a tremendous amount of work to bring attention and fundraise for this cause.  This includes putting together the 2nd Annual Wannabe Cancer Free 5K!  We were very happy to take part and run to help out even in the cold, wet weather! We did our best to stay warm, and I was even grateful for the 3 mile run as it warmed me up:-) Unfortunately, once I stopped, I remembered how cold it was!  Once we finished the race and got a little hot cocoa, he jetted out of there not realizing that Logan placed 2nd in his age category...epic fail on the parental part!! But, we were still able to collect his prize, a $10 gift card to a great sports store, and he scored a cozy Panthers blanket for his bed.  Here are some pics!!



SOOOO Cold!

Can you see Logan inhaling oranges in the background??

Our 2nd Place Winner!! Logan's time was 31 minutes. Pretty awesome for an 8 year old.  Luke's time was 43 minutes which means he shaved 5 minutes off the last 5K we did.  He has informed us that under no circumstances are we to sign him up for anymore 5K's.  We will see about that:-)
Happy Running!

Christmas is here!!

 
It is that time of year again!! Christmas is right around the corner, and this is the first year since the boys were born that I have it all under control!! Yep, I have shopping done, pictures done, cards in the mail and everything wrapped.  This can mean only one thing...I have forgotten something:-( I am sure I will figure that out Christmas day.  For the meantime, I am enjoying my bliss! Here are some recent pics.  The boys got to visit Santa.  Santa was really serious with them this year and spent a lot of time lecturing them.  I would love to tell you that after their visit the boys have been perfect angels.  Unfortunately, about the only positive thing at this point is that there has not been any blood. Oh well! Maybe we will make it through the holidays without an emergency room visit.  Merry Christmas to me!









This one needs a frame.  I would love to know what this conversation was about.  I asked Luke, and he said he was discussing his desire for a puppy...because the dog and two cats that we have aren't enough.



At one point, Logan started to walk away thinking his visit was done.  Santa told him he wasn't through! Maybe he took one look at the bags under my eyes and Lyndon's bald head and gray beard and decided we needed the extra help.




Logan was very serious about his list.


Here is to Christmas bliss!
