Feeling the need...

I feel like I need to do a tribute to "my girls." I just can't imagine my life without them. Some people refer to their two little girls at home or the girls might be two little girl puppies. "My girls" are the girls I run with. Honestly I don't know what I would do without them. What started out to getting together for a long run of 6 miles on Fridays has turned into....loonnnggg runs on Fridays up near the 19 miles to a Wednesday speed and hill workout run which consits of 5-6 miles to hey lets run a short 8 together on Monday oh and I am going to bust out 5 on Sunday too. (yes we are training for a marathon Baltimore and Chicago)

These are the people who anything goes and everything said on a run stays on a run. We can discuss anything together and always have the support of everyone. If are kids are out of control guess what no worries because someone elses kids were out of control too. Someones husband is being a jerk guess what someone elses is being a jerk too. Someone is having a gut issue and needs to take it to the weeds guess what someone else's gut is bad too. The nice thing is is that other person was worried about their gut so they hand over some tissue and share their small stash of tp with the other.

6 weeks from today we will all be together hopefully have all completed the Baltimore Marathon together. One of the divas is running Chicago Marathon the week before but she is still joining us in Baltimore and running the last 6 miles with us. I am sure on race day we can talk her into 8 though. So lets here it for "my girls".....I love them all.....and can't wait for my next run with them.....

Dewitt Ox Roast Soccer Mania....

Last weekend was the Dewitt Ox Roast tournament in Dewitt. I decided Logan could have a team along with Taylor. I invited her entire team to play and guess what all but 3 could play. So we had 3 yes 3 teams there this year.

Logan's team was the Superman's, Taylors team was the Sweeet Nerds and my other team was the Double Bubbles. I coached 17 games in 2 days. Ummmm yikes!! The kiddies did so awesome. Smiles were everywhere, kids laughing, chasing and snacking on junk food for 2 days. To top it off Logans team took 2nd, Taylors team took 2nd and the double bubbles took 1st in a shoot out....I was one proud momma and coach :)

Taylor's First Communion...

It was a big weekend in our house this weekend. We had lots to do a couple soccer games, cleaning, spreading mulch, mowing the yard, preparing lots of food but most importantly Taylor made her first communion. It was sooo very precious. She looked like an angel. All the children looked like angels. We were able to take communion together as a family which was awesome so we could be right with her for her first time.

Logan was a trooper it was a loonnggg afternoon to be in a tie and church was really hot. He slept through some of mass. David and I laughed because by the end his shirt was untucked his tie was loosened up and his cheeks were rosy red. It looked like he had a long day at the office.

After the mass we celebrated at our house with our families. It was a yummy yummy dinner. It was a long day and night but my sweet little girl has now made 3 sacraments. Confirmation is not for 5 more years and then the next one is marriage which I told her she had to be 30 to make that one :)

Really did I run that fast...

On Sunday David, 2 of my running divas (Lisa and Peg) ran the Dan Langdon Memorial Run. Kim sat this one out because her husband ran 15 miles to the race and then ran the 5k yes he ran 18.1 miles on Sunday. Dan passed away Oct 18th 2009 right before mile 12 of the Detroit half marathon. He was a runner and properly trained. It was super sad. His friends held this run in his memory to raise money for his family. I dug deep that who knows where it came from and ran my booty off. I took first in my age group and was the 6th women to finish. Peg took first in her age group too. Lisa is in a tough age group 35-39 year olds. I don't know what it is about that age group but the ladies are FAST!! It was a beautiful day...David finished with me for the first time ever (he usually kills me). He finished 6th in his age group too. So here is to Dan Langdon...

My baby girl is getting too BIG...

On Monday Taylor got contacts. Ahhh...where is my baby going? I am so proud of her to be able to put them in and take them out but it makes me kinda of sad she is growing up to fast :(....
