Fun Run 4 Kids






The Torres girls and Albie, Garrett and myself all decided to fun in a fun run 4 kids fundraiser race. Albie and Mailee were talking about it for weeks and had to do their training. Albie would go outside and run around the house to get ready for the race. Leesa and myself ran in a 5K first thing in the morning. We were a little nervous because we only trained two different days and that was two weeks ago, but we were able to do it and ran in at 31 minutes. We thought that was pretty good. Following our race the kids races began. Auja ran first, she had to run 100 yards. She wanted Leesa to hold her the whole time, so she wasn't able to finish. Garrett was next, he ran 1/4 mile. He was great I ran with him, and he was passing people like crazy. When he got done he wanted to do it again. Albie and Mailee ran next and they had to run 1/2 mile, which was two laps. Albie said she only wanted to run one lap, but she did it and did great. Finally the older girls Tia and Necia ran. they were duppose to run 1 mile, but after they finished the judge man said they had miscalculated and they actually ran 1.47 miles. Tia was the first girl to cross and Necia took 3rd for her age. They all did great, the kids seemed to have a lot of fun and said they want to do it again next year, maybe we can talk Mark into doing it with us next year!!

Hogle Zoo




Albie had her 1st field trip on friday, her Kindergarten class went to Hogle Zoo. We were able to meet her there and then she was able to come home with us. The kids loved it. Garrett loved the penguins and the train ride, Albie loved the monkeys and elephants. Mark and Haylie loved it all. My favorie part was spending time with the whole family. You'll have to check out the zoo when you can't think of anything to do.
