Pat's Run 2009

This year I had a crazy idea to run/walk the Pat Tillman Run.  A friend of mine had decided to run it already and we made it into a family ordeal.  Lisa ran and I jogged/walked 4.2 miles!  Lisa has been inspirational in becoming healthy.  I was excited to participate in her first run with her.  Then later Daniel and Lisa's husband Danny....(I know another Dan name) ran the kids run of .42 miles with the kids.
Lisa and I didn't have a camera at the finish line.  A nice guy took the picture below and emailed it to my junk email.  I was happy to have a junk email today.  Here we are smiling super big and proud.  

We even finished faster than I had expected!

The kids were so pumped for their race!  They could barely wait to get started.  They both ran the entire way.  Chase finished in 2 minutes and 26 seconds.  I think the course was a little less than .42 miles because I really don't think my 3 year old can run a 6 minute mile!


After the race we went into the Tillman Tunnel.  They had the locker room blocked off, but you could see inside.  They have a tribute to Pat on the walls. 

Today has been a long day, but it has been really fun!   Oh, and in case you are wondering...I don't recommend run/walking a 4.2 mile race at 21.5 weeks pregnant.  My feet hurt so bad! Plus, I got the weirdest looks.....even though Lisa said it was all in my head.

Easter of course!

I can't believe it is Easter already.  It seems like this year is flying bye!  That is probably because we have so much and so little going on at any given moment.  Our family really enjoyed being together this holiday season.  The boys got along well.  Saturday night we colored Easter eggs.  The boys thought the plastic coating was a cool thing this year.  Then, Sunday morning we woke up to the boys sneaking around the house.  The boys are not allowed to leave their rooms on holidays until we come and get them!  They had looked in the fridge to discover their colored eggs were still there.  Apparently, they ran back to their rooms very fast because they saw a SHADOW!  LOL!  It was they Easter bunny...they just knew it.  Chase said, "It was scary with large claws!"  I love my boys.  
This is the best picture I have of Carter on Easter day.  He smiles really funny when I try to get a good picture of him.
This is Chase showing off the only pick egg the boys would let me dye.  Silly boys!  Next year I am sure we will have more "girl" colors...the boys can't wait to spoil her already.

The results are in...It's a

We were extremely excited to get a perfect look at our little GIRL today! I personally have always wanted a little girl! Chase keeps telling everyone that we went to the dr. and our baby is a girl so he gets to protect her from scary monsters. We haven't told Carter yet because he is at school. Here is a picture of how cute she already is....as a side note...I am almost positive she will look just like a Rae. Her name will be TAYLOR JANE RAE
