Mother's Day

Momma to be and me

Before the race

Someone get me something other than flats!

The only reason people run: The Tshirt

How sad that all of my posts lately are Holidays? I will get better at this! I guess maybe I am wasting too much time on facebook, or digital scrapbooking or sewing.. or sometimes I even take care of my kids. Hmm.
I just got back from Portland and ran my 12k around Lake Oswego, I LOVED it!! It was one of the best days of 2009 yet! The weather was great, the run was challenging but amazingly gorgeous and the town of Lake Oswego is my dream place! I'm sure the fact that all the houses were 1.5 million plus had something to do with it! The homes were beautiful and had so much craftsman character. Just looking at the architecture was enough to keep me entertained throughout my run. I ran it faster than I thought I would although not fast ( I am slow). I ran an average of an 11 minute mile-- (Finished the 7.5 miles in 84 minutes).
My sisters and my mom enjoyed Mother's Day weekend together and had a blast! Pedicures, shopping, eating, Japanese gardens, shopping, eating.
In other news, Jack is GOING POTTY ON THE POTTY CHAIR!! Many thanks to Debbie for letting me borrow her potty training book and also many thanks to Red Vines for providing the perfect bribe. The poop thing is still hit and miss but at least there's hits! No pullups for a week and a half...yessss!
Tate is 11 months and still not crawling, I think one of these days he's just going to stand up and walk away. I am not pushing him though, limited mobility is not a bad thing! Haha, I am such a mean mom I know!!
We're still plugging away with the house, everything is going good so far! Hope to meet with the bank soon and get this show on the road!
