Celebrating Thanksgiving

We had 27 people for dinner on Friday. Celebrated a day late as that is what worked for everyone best. It was so fun to be together again. We all shared what we were most thankful for and then we did a gift game. Carrie stayed over and brought Jed her old guitar which he absolutely loves!!
We had a full house overnight and then most left. Paul and Janice stayed until noon on Monday. We had lots of fun. As I was cleaning up the house on Monday, Brock decided to add to the mess. I think he quickly realized he would be in trouble because he took off running leaving tiny footprints behind him. Check out the floor leaving the mess!!! I couldn't resist taking a picture before going to locate the little rascal!!! Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Getting ready for Turkey day

Paul and Janice arrived on Thursday. The kids had lots of fun dinking around with Uncle Paul! Jed and I made Cinnamon rolls and we had a fairly relaxing day. Went over to Glenns for supper with everyone. Fun to see the cousins together.

Runners High

Well I totaled 27 miles this week after running 9.5 this morning!! I have 12 weeks till race day so hoping I can stick with it! I am starting to get the runners high everyone talks about...and my husband has accused me of getting addicted. I have to say I never thought I could run that many miles at once so I felt a lot like Brock looks on this picture! HAH

mom and grandma come for a visit

OnSaturday evening my mom and grandma arrived after driving all day. Grandma took us out Sunday for my birthday and then got me a dairy queen cake! YUM We had a fun day playing games and relaxing. Monday mom baked with the kids while grandma chased after all my pets ( dust bunnies) and killed every last one. Guess I'll just have to get a few more HAH! Now my house is all ready for Thanksgiving! Ron's family will be coming to help us celebrate that. Today, Tuesday, they left bright and early to head home. Safe travels.....

Jera and I made a trip to WI for my Aunt Judy's mom's funeral. We had a great trip there until about an hour before arriving at the hotel. Jera decided that sour milk didn't need to stay in her stomach and promptly lost her entire stomach all over herself, car seat and van. WOW! Lessons form mom 101... always check the milk from gas stations before giving to child. Anyways.... hours later things were back to normal and the rest of the weekend went well. My dad joined us at the hotel for the weekend as well as Cindy and her girls. We enjoyed lots of time in the pool. It was so nice to be in meeting with Uncle Larry and Aunt Judy... something very softening about the loss of someone so special.
