Thanksgiving 2013

We had a great and easy going Thanksgiving with the Anderson's this year. Delicious food, good company and a great day!!!

HALLOWEEN 2013

Halloween was a blast this year with both sophie and noah both knowing exactly what was going on. Owen was a trooper and was totally happy in the stroller just cruising around. we had a great halloween that started with Sophie's school parade, then her class party and then off with our traditional soup and soup bowls at the rassavong's and then off to trick or treating. We got uncle will to come with us and then visited the pirate ship that is put on by a captain in the fire dept every year in our area.

RED ROCK RELAY

Last Wednesday one of Derek's friends asked us if we wanted to join their team for Saturday's relay race. we said sure why not. then I started thinking. wait... I've been only running about 10 miles a week and I just agreed to run 11 in one day? 3 which were STRAIGHT up a hill and 8.3 that were down hill. and I mean DOWN hill. turns out, it was GORGEOUS. the colors of the trees were SO SO vibrant. it was breathtaking. SO MUCH FUN and I made both my runs great. the 3 miles was SO much harder than the 8. the hill was brutal. but all in all, it was a GREAT Saturday of running. Derek had the hardest part of it all running one of his runs on a unpaved trail, with huge hills and all this for 10 miles. it was brutal. he described it as his "worst run EVER". but he made it and got an extra medal for doing so.

I have been blessed....

with the BEST 2 year old EVER. he is SO much fun to play with and he is SO SO SO good when I'm busy and he needs to entertain himself. I can do a project for 2 hrs and he will be SO GOOD and play with toys the whole time and be oh so great. Gosh I love him. His little face melts my heart and his looks kill me. I have no hope. He has got me wrapped around his little finger. I hope you never change little guy. He is my snuggler, SO caring, and so funny. I love spending one on one time with him every day while Sophie is at school and Owen sleeps. we have SO much fun. to his future wife I'd have to say, get in line honey, he's momma's :)
