5K

So, a friend of mine had a flyer on her fridge about an upcoming 5K for her daughters school. I asked her if she was going to participate in it and she said she was thinking about it and I told her I would do it with her. Neither of us has run in a VERY long time and this run was to take place the following weekend. We only did one 3 mile run/walk the next day. The day of the race which was yesterday was a little cold in the morning so we had lots of layers on. I know this isn't very far but if you aren't used to running it is VERY far. I did manage to run almost the entire thing but I did walk for about 1/2 mile. It was a fun time though and I would love to try and do more of them. It will be a good motivator to try and beat my time-shouldn't be to hard it was not good at all. We had somebody take a pic of us but unfortunately I didn't check my camera to see how it turned out and I think she had pushed the power button and turned it off instead of taking a picture. There is an upcoming 1 mile in March that I want to do w/ Cameron. He is excited to try and do it.

christmas 2009

christmas Eve we went over to friends house for an appetizer party. We had a great time and it is fun to be able to spend the holidays w/ friends when you don't have family in town. We are fortunate to have such great friends down here.

New Years Eve

Kris and I had a few friends over for New Years Eve. We had a good time but it was pretty laid back and the last of our guests left around 11.

Some of the kiddos calming down w/ a movie.

Here is who was left and awake in our house at midnight. Cameron was so excited to be awake for the New Year and it was fun that he spent it with us. Cody is conked out on our lap and Caitlin is on the floor in this pic.
