5K

I ran in my first 5K on Saturday and am proud that I even showed up to do it. I had a really great schedule downloaded from the internet, and didn't follow it a whole lot...so I wasn't as prepared as I had hoped to be. The good news is, is that it was a 5K run/walk...which I did a lot of the walking too. My one goal, which sounds silly, was to stay ahead of the speed walkers behind me. You know the kind, the swinging hips and pumping arms types...that usually can walk faster than most people can run. Well, everything they started creeping up on me, I'd take off and run a little bit until i couldn't run anymore. The sad thing is, they beat me in the end. My official time was 41 minutes for a little over 3 miles...it's a little pathetic, but at least I showed up and did it. That's the point, right? Next year, my goal will be to run without stopping. That was my friend Nici's goal, and she made it! Until next time...

unpredictable...

So since having our second beautiful little baby boy...I have been adjusting to two kids, and a feeling of unpredictability in my own feelings and reactions. I can't quite peg it, but I know that I, especially over the last few weeks, been feeling a little out of control. Beyond the crazy schedule and other normal life stuff, I am sure that I am feeling a little on edge and like something's just not quite right. I'm not sure why, but blogging about things that can't be fixed by blogging about it, still is therapeutic for me. Anyone reading this...this is just the rantings of a stay at home mom who is needing an outlet and a good dose of hormones to feel normal again.:) On a brighter note...here are pictures of Owen's baby dedication. He is growing so fast and has become a really good natured baby. There are some pictures of his dedication, our surrogate grandma "Kapi", and Rayna's superhero look, and Rayna's first rockclimbing experience.

procrastination...

OK, so I need to be pricing for my garage sale this weekend, but am I? NO! I love getting rid of stuff at garage sales, but it is an awful lot of work. I thought, instead, that I would put a few new pictures on the blog and we will have a few updates on our ever changing world, when things are decided for sure. That's all I'll say...for now. Anyway, here is a picture of our new dining room table...shout out to grandpa apa on that one! An adorable picture of Owen snoozing and in the sink, which he is far too big for...and Rayna's latest outfit of choice. Her hot pink skirt, and her "moon and stars" pajama top. Very fashionable I'd say. Hope you are all having a wonderful week and enjoying great weather like we are. Love you all!
