Spring Break 2011

We were so blessed to get to go to Disney World during spring break. It brought back so many memories and made lots of new ones. We had so much fun i forgot to take many pictures. Here is the girls on the tea cups with grandma.



and the Kids digging for dinosaur fossils at Animal Kingdom.
We also made a trip to the beach where we met our old friends the Chavez's. Savannah and Vallee picked up like we had never left. (Isabelle and the others were mostly too young to remember when we left.) It was fun to get all the kids together again.

Adam was asleep in the car. Miss you guys.

We had a great vacation. We played hard and came home tired. Adam was a little trooper and happy to be doing whatever we were doing. It was kind of fun to go "home" again, but also interesting that it no longer feels like home. I guess that part of our life has past. So it was also good to figure that out. Here is to the future.

Fun Run for Charities

Our family ran in the fun run for charity's a few weeks ago. Savannah and Matt ran together in a 5-K. LouAnn Walked a 5-K. Aaron ran a 10K then ran with Isabelle in a 1 mile run. And Tricia and Adam ran a 1 mile (at Adam's pace) We had lots of fun. Aaron and LouAnn both medaled! LouAnn got FIRST PLACE and Aaron got THIRD PLACE in each age group. At the end of Adam's race everyone ran out to finish the race with him. He loved it. Just after the finish line was a huge bucket of ice sitting on a table and filled with water bottles. Adam ran right over, stuck his little hand up and for a water bottle and said "I hot, I hot."L to R: Tricia, Adam (age 2 next month), Matt, Savannah (age 9), Isabelle (age 6)

"I Wanna Run!"

Last week our running club started its spring session. So after a long cold winter we were ready to get off our behinds and run. Since Adam is so much bigger this year I thought I would let him run to wear himself out then I'd piggy back him the rest of the way. The girls run a track that is about a half mile each way, so they run one way then turn around and head back for a total of about a mile. We set off with all the other kids and despite Adam's best efforts he quickly fell behind. He chugged on and on. about halfway to the turn around he started to walk some. thinking he was wearing out I'd ask him if he was all done. Immediately he'd start running again and say "No! I run." So we got to the turn around and headed back still running most of the way. Within sight of the end of the trail I stopped at a bench to tie a shoelace. Adam walked over to the bench leaned against it and threw up. Then said "I no run. I walk." I guess he does have a limit. : ) Even then he didn't want me to carry him, so we walked to the finish.
