Bummer

My marathon training has come to a halt. Hopefully only temporally. Because I really didn't listen to my husband and I decided to run, run,run, in my cheap little 5 dollar shoes. I have shin splints. You know the kind where you are just sitting there than all of a sudden you get that awful sharp pain in your shins. Then when you think that they are fine, you go and test your running legs only to find out that it still hurts. Not to mention my knees feel like bone is grinding on bone whenever I run. Since I don't have any health insurance, and I don't want to injure myself, I have had to put that on the back burner. I am not happy about that because I was doing so well. I was able to run 6.25 miles easily, in 1 hour and my fastest mile (which I know really isn't that fast, but for me it is) was just over 9 minutes. So I have been able to accomplish more that what I thought I would.

So rest for now, let myself heal, than I will be back on track!!!!!!!

7 years....wow

Well my little boy isn't so little anymore. He is 7 and will be starting the 2nd grade....yikes. I can hardly believe it. Since his birthday was on a Sunday, we went to the zoo on Saturday and met my sister and her family there. It was a lot of fun, we spent 3 hours there, but it seemed like we went through things really fast.

I was so excited when I found out that they actually had a cheetah, now we don't have to fly to Africa to see one. I knew that Joel would love it. Unfortunatly it was at the very end of the zoo, so Joel had to wait until the end to see it, which is probably why we went through all the other animals really fast.
Can't forget the Carousel rides!!!

They had the cutest little park.

After the zoo we went to lunch, then Joel got to bring home his cousin Tristan to spend his special day with. They were so cute and they had so much fun.

Gramps and Gran :)

Happy Birthday Joelly, We love you!!!!

I almost forgot, Happy 4th Birthday Madison and 1st Birthday Brianna, we love you guys too!!( They are Joels cousins, on the same side of the family, who also share the same Birthday, just 3 years apart it is so weird, what is with that day anyway :)
