PL Week 20

We celebrated 18 years of marriage today. It is hard to believe it has been that long! We have been through much and we look forward to facing whatever comes down the path in the future together.

 

The last home meet for the season! We need to thank MJ for being the sitter for all the track meets; home and away. Without her, Hubby and I would not be able to always attend and certainly would not be able to volunteer. Thanks MJ!

JD ran only the 1 mile {Coach pulled him from the 2 mile to save his legs for regionals this Friday). He ran it in 4:37.

 

This morning Syd had breakfast buddies. Little Miss and Little Man stayed with us for a bit. I made Little Miss a circle skirt while they were here. Syd and Little Man raced the storage cubby seats around the house. What fun they had!

Ruby is an equal opportunity snuggler. She may be more MJ dog but in the evening anyone sitting still becomes her favorite. Tonight it was Hubby.

 

The big meet! JD has been nervous all week about this meet. “If I run a 4:26 (mile) I go to states” is all he talked about….

Sadly things did not work out that way. He ran the first 2 laps very hard and then it all fell apart after that. He finished with his 3rd fast time this season @ 4:37.87. He was disappointed.  It gives him something that will burn in his belly until next year….

 

JD ran with Lu this morning in the Dow Run/Walk  Girls on the Run 5k after just 5 hours sleep! Took a 3 mile run with his coach at City Forest. Took a small nap and then took DJ to prom! What a full day for him.

Here are some more shots from the picture taking festivities at Dow Gardens and our front yard. They make a cute couple.

Hubby and I took the girls to G-town to work on the deck. Today we actually got 4 rows laid! The skeetos were out and it was no fun battling them while working. Hubby’s brother stopped over to haul away the big dump truck. It was quite a small chore but got done and the girls were enthralled with the process!

PL Week 19

Another bag made from left over fabrics. Sewing has become a slight addiction for me….

Do you see the person in the back ground? The one the big arrow is pointing to? Well, she was just a student that was at the track working out this evening.

We took the girls with us for Hubby’s training workout. We were walking/running around the track and Syd was so fascinated by this girl! Syd suddenly sat down and started imitating her doing sit ups and doing leg lifts. It was very amusing to watch. 

CJ had her 6 year check up this afternoon. She was putting on a brave face but was very concerned that she might be getting a shot today. No shots were scheduled but she was still worried about it until the doctor confirmed it. Everything checked out; she is health as a horse. She grew 2 inches and gained 2 pounds since last years check-up.

We spent all day at Grammie’s putting on a garage sale. The girls were filthy dirty from playing in the dirt all day. After bath the tub needed a good scrubbing!

The annual 3 MJ’s photo. We started this about 3 years ago and MJ looks forward to it every year. She is less fond of the costumes every year though.

What a busy day! MJ had her dance rehearsal and  recital. JD had an all day track meet. We had a plan but it all fell apart when Syd started to feel sick and I had to bring her home. I spent a lot of time running back and forth to the dance venue while Syd kept telling me her belly hurt. Hubby was stuck at the behind schedule track meet.

All turned out well;  MJ recital went great, JD ran a PR @ 4:34  for the mile and a 10:08 2 mile, Syd never got sick but was a tad sleepy and whiny the whole day.

Happy Mother’s day! We spent the day in G-town. We had brunch at Grammies and swung by Grandma G’s for a visit. Then I had a relaxing evening at home.
