May 2010

Well we survived a long weekend at the cottage with the Hartill's, Grew's and Baxter's. Eight adults and six kids. The boys got two rounds of golf, and the girls got a few hours at the glorious spa nearby! The weather was fantastic, and the water was......just fine for the kids.

So proud of his rock throwing skills.

"Look mom we made it to the orange rock"

Sydney starts a trend and decides to go for a dip in the Bay.

Keira really enjoyed the water, sand and rocks. Her mom almost took her up to the cottage when she showed an interest....I said maybe if she got to feel the water and realized how cold it was she wouldn't want to go in it........well clearly that didn't happen. She LOVED getting right in clothes and all.

Enjoying a freezie break.

Brayden enjoyed the beach too, once he woke up.

Logan LOVES being with the older kids.

WOO HOO!!!! I completed my first 5K

After two weeks of two pulled hamstrings(done seperately),having the 24 hour flu, and then a cold which ended with laryngitis I managed to complete my first 5K run. I have been training since Jan, and wasn't going to let anything stop me. Thank goodness it didn't rain 'cause I might have cuddled back up under my covers.

My time was 32:53, and I was amongst the top 20 in my age group. I finished 18th of 77 in my group. I was doing 1km every 6:35 minutes. The fastest time was 16minutes and something......can you imagine 1km every 3 minutes. WOW!!!

I managed to beat my little sister by 2 minutes. Pat on my back!!! She already wants to know when and where the next one is........I'm sure I will never beat her again.

Post run, ready to do some stretching, have a nap, and a long hot bubble bath.

Chris and Logan came to cheer us on.

My friend Laura stayed with me the whole time.

Sandra coming up to the finish.

Laura and I cruising along.....me swearing in my head.

Pre run, with a few knots in our stomachs.

Some more from April....

What things might look like with two.....

Sooo happy to see Aunt Alli.
