I DID IT!

I finally did it. I ran my first 1/2 marathon yesterday (may 2nd) in the Wells Fargo Lake Minnetonka 1/2 marathon. Its something I've always wanted to do and have had it on my bucket list for years. I have never claimed to be a fast runner so my goal was to "finish" and I did! It took me 2 1/2 hours. There ended up being 6 of us in our group - Me, Kassy, Brooke, Tammi, Kitsie and Jolene. Myself, Kitsie and Jolene were all first timers for the 13.1 mile race but I'm happy to say we all did great!!!

Pre-School Concert 2010

This was Addisyn's first school program and they sang a bumblebee song and the wheels on the bus! She was a little ham out there and did a great job. This was Rylie's last concert at the pre-school and she and her classmates sang three songs but Rylie's favorite was "Take me out to the Ball game". Rylie got her diploma for graduating pre-school and also got an award for "outstanding behavior" I about fell off of my chair.......ha.

Circus trip 2010

Rylie's field trip for Pre-school was at the circus in Sioux Falls again this year. It was a fun day. Rylie said her favorite part was the elephant ride, motorcycles and of course the cotton candy!! Yum!

Little swimmers........

Took the kids to a hotel this past weekend with friends so they could swim and burn off some of that excess energy they always seem to have. They were so good and very tired by the end of the day!

Peek-a-boo

So I decided to play a game of Peek-A-Boo with Kaysie the other day. As you can see she started out happy and after the first Peek-a-boo she lost it........guess we'll wait a while until we play that game again. Its a lot more fun when they giggle!

Kaysie

Kaysie is turning into quite the little butterball. She truely is a good baby and happy most of the time. I am so blessed. Today is sadly my last day of maternity leave as I go back to work tomorrow (January 5th). I've enjoyed our time together and wish it didn't have to end so quickly but its time for my hawiian souvenire to start daycare tomorrow. Love you little girl!!

Christmas 2009

Another Christmas here and gone. I loved this picture of my girls looking out the window for Santa to arrive. Rylie ended up getting animals that live in the zoo for christmas as requested and Addisyn got a bike with training wheels just like she wanted. We ended up making it everywhere we needed to go even in the blizzard.
