May....according to my phone

Cary napping with Sammy

While I was in Alabama I got this picture from Kate with the message, "Come home".

One day while putting sheets on Braeden's bed I found this baby snake in his room. Yes!...In. His. Room. I was a tad bit freaked out. I was home by myself. So, with a big, long shovel I disposed of it all by myself. UGH!

Kate fell asleep on my shoulder at stake conference

Sammy some how got himself tangled up in a pair of Joshua's undies.

My sister, Tara and I have started sending ugly selfies to each other...usually after a run.

And sometimes just for the fun of it.

Braeden in a horse head

and some other silly hat.

We found this awesome macrame chair at a volleyball tournament we went to.

Braeden and I ran a 10k last Saturday. This was before the race.

And this was after. I finished in just under 64 minutes. Braeden ran it in like 40 something...

Braeden ran with his best friend, Braxton.

Braxton got first in their age group and Braeden got third.

end of the year band concert 2014

Getting ready for the concert

Playing the xylophone...

......the gong,

.....the triangle,

I don't know what that is....

....and the cymbals.

13.29 not 13.1

I ran a half marathon back in April. It. Was. Hard. My goal was to run the whole entire thing without walking....and I did. It. Was. Hard. Did I mentioned that already? The last 3 miles were killer. My time was 2 hours and 22 minutes. As hard as it was and as much as I wanted to stop especally toward the end I actually think I might try to do it again.

Before the race

                        

On our marks

And we are off

Half way through

                         

Still happy...not dying yet

Almost there

Done!

I could not have run this race without Braeden and my friend, Kuulei. Kuulei is always so happy and positive even when I felt like I was going to die. And Braeden jumped in at the last minute wihout ever having trained and ran the whole way with me. They were both so awesome!!

P.S. The race was really 13.29 miles not 13.1. :)

Master of Science

Cary received his Masters of Science in Systems Engineering last weekend. He decided not to walk in the graduation ceremony so we all went down to the SMU campus today to get his diploma. We are so proud of him and soooo extremely excited that he is finally done with school. FOREVER!!!
