RUMPSHAKER - MY FIRST 5k!!!

I decided to take on my first 5K with Lauren, Kelly and Jennifer, and I gotta say - I get the thrill of it!  It was such an adrenaline rush!  I ran the entire time and finished in 32:13 with an average mile run of 10:22.  Not too shabby considering I hadn't been running long before the race. Of course, the man with the double jogging stroller in front of me was my true motivation - there was NO WAY I was letting him cross that finish line before me!  It was so much fun and I can't wait to do another one!



BEFORE THE BIG RACE!

See- here's the guy with the double stroller -
I ran ahead of him before I got to the finish line!
Wasn't about to let him show me up :-)

Casey's 4th Birthday Party

We went to Casey's birthday party on Sunday out at a stable to ride horses.  The girls were SO EXCITED - especially Elizabeth, who kept asking "where are the horsies?"  As soon as we got there, Adelaide went straight up and got on a horse.  My little scaredy cat was absolutely FEARLESS!!  She loved it and rode several times.  Elizabeth was equally as excited and got right up on a horse without any fear. She would pet him and say "good horse" -it was so sweet! The only time she got a little upset was when she had to put on the helmet.  (She doesn't like to wear hats of ANY kind!) But with a little coaxing, she agreed to wear it.  After all the kids rode horses, they pulled out a big box of stuffed horses on sticks and everyone had races across the field.  All the kids loved it and Elizabeth was right in the middle of it all!  We had hotdogs and then sang Happy Birthday to Casey.  After it was over, we stayed behind to help everyone put the horses up in their stable, and the kids fed them treats and helped put hay in all of the horses' stalls.  They had a ball!! (Especially Elizabeth as you can see from the pictures!!)
