We did it!

Brian and I ran the las vegas half marathon over the weekend! I have been training for months and it was exciting to finally do it. I think we both did better than our expectations. Today our legs and feet are sore, but it was worth it! I don't have any pictures back yet, but I will post them when I do. Here are our times/rankings though. There were 10,000 runners - it was a giant sea of humanity at the start line! Anyways, pics to come later....

kung Fu Fighters

Jake and Noah think that they are kung fu fighters. Here are pictures of some of their "moves". Please, don't be afraid! ;)

Thanksgiving

I hope everybody had a great thanksgiving. Ours definitely was. It rained that day, which is kind of a phenomenon around here, so while the food was cooking the kids played outside in the rain. The turkey turned out great this year (fully cooked!) and after all was said and done we had dry kids and full bellies. What more could one ask for? :)

Mess

Boys: Mommy, mommy look what we did!
Me: What did you do?
Boys: We took every toy in the play room and threw them all into a big pile!
Me: Great.... (is this as deep as their creative minds go? Yikes!) :)

No-Bobs

Last night the boys and I were looking at their baby pictures. We started with Jacob and I told him "that was when you were BORN". After a few minutes Noah said "mommy, I want to see pictures of me when I was BORING"! :)
A newborn once? Yes. Boring? Never!!!

Our "star"

Jacob is "star of the week" at school this week so we had to put together a poster board "showcasing" him. I thought you might enjoy! I love that on his list of "likes" he made a point to add "taking showers". Such a proud mom moment! I wonder if that will last through his teen years?!

Halloween

My two super-heroes. Maybe they could use their "super powers" to give themselves good attitudes and cheerful hearts! :)

Here's the crew - darth, spiderman, superman, chicka chicka boom boom tree and a pumpkin.
Brian had to work late so I was the pumpkin carver this year. Once again, my craft skills, well, not so much... :) But the boys loved their pumpkins (the fish is Noah's and the face is Jake's) so that's all that mattered. Until next year.... (for the halloween posts. I will have more post sooner than that!).
