Pumpkin Patch 2010

Time for our yearly trip to the pumpkin patch!!!! I love doing this and my kids tolerate it very well. They sit still for all of the photos and LOVE to search for that perfect pumpkin. So much fun to watch them circle the pumpkins and examine the stem. The color has to be just right and you can only buy what you can carry. My mom goes with us every year and then takes us out to lunch. It is a tradition I look forward to every year. What is your favorite Halloween/Fall tradition? Hugs

My Baseball Boy

Roman is playing T-Ball with the Pearland Dad's Club. He is having soooo much fun!!! He really loves the sport. He is happy to practice and he LOVES game day. He and the other kids are taking turns trying all of the positions. On Saturday, he was asked to try catcher. He stopped the ball and even got someone out at homeplate!!!!! He hit the ball twice and "drove" in a run :) It is so much fun to watch them play. He even got the GAME BALL at the end of the game. One of the other moms took these photos for me. Aren't they GREAT. Hugs

Rock On Jonas Brothers :)

OK, so Reagan thinks they rock :) ACTUALLY, they put on a great show and we got to see it live.

So, this is how it happened. My friend Christa lives in Arizona, BUT her uncle is THE man at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands. Sooooooo, while we were in Anaheim for the race, Christa mentions that she has two extra tickets for the Jonas Brothers on Saturday September 11Th. She was in town for the Dave Mathews Concert (I could write another long post about Christa's love for Dave) and can you believe no other adult family members wanted to see the Jonas Brothers. Reagan and I jumped at the chance.

We went to meet Emily and Christa for dinner and were almost at the restaurant when Christa called and said, "It we get there in 10 minutes we can meet the Jonas Brothers". WHAT!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! So we got there, walked in and got to meet the brothers. They were so cute and super sweet to Emily and Reagan. I thought Reagan was going to faint. Then, on to our seats, FRONT ROW, SHUT UP!!!!! An AMAZING night. Thank you Emily for letting my girl hang with a super cute teenager. She still talks about you. Christa, What a fun night. I am so lucky to call you my friend. SHUT UP, WE ARE SO CUTE!!!! {Wink} Uncle Jerry, you made one little girls dream come true. She will NEVER EVER forget it. Damn, how am I ever going to top that!!!! Hugs

A Few Funny Pics

I took 400 photos while at Disney for the race. Wanted to post some of my favorite pics. Tonight I am going to upload photos so Ann, Christa, Shannon and Tanya can enjoy them as well. Hugs

I Did It!!!!

It was ALOT harder than I thought it would be, but I made it, 13.1 miles!!!! And you know the crazy thing, I am ready to do it again. I never thought I would say that. I was AMAZED at how great I felt immediately after the race. My legs were tired but no blisters, aches or pains.

My time was 3 hours 24 minutes, which was a little slow for me. BUT, considering that I ran the entire race WITHOUT music, I think that was pretty good. As we were lining up with 15,000 of our closest friends, my earbuds must have slipped off of my neck. What a freaking nightmare!!!!! I really use my music as a pacer for my time so not having that did slow me down. Oh, and did I mention that I had to stop and pee not once but TWICE. I mean really, that cost me a little time as well.

Loved spending time with Tanya, Ann, Shannon and Christa. These girls are AMAZING. We all finished the race and got the most awesome medals. THEN, we played at Disneyland for several days. So much laughing, shopping, drinking....GOOD TIMES. And I get to see all these women again in November here in Houston. Life is good. Hugs.
