A little of this, a little of that.

Since I have been behind on blogging I decided to catch up with a some of what has been happening around here. Between working and training for the half marathon, we have had a lot going on. A few weeks ago several of us got together to do a walk for Spina Bifida. We have a large population of Spina Bifida patients at work so it was a for a good cause. Here is a picture of Elle having fun at the the walk.

This is Sophia and Elle. Sophia reminds me so much of Elle when she was little.


Right after the walk we headed over to the kids school for the fall festival. They had many games and activities set up for the kids. They were really excited because all their friend were there too.

Elle got her face painted and her hair sprayed. By the the end of the day she looked like a scary villain from Batman.

In September, Jenni, Janelle, and myself competed in a relay triathlon at Lake Pleasant. Although I wanted to do the run portion of the relay, I ended up swimming. It was probably a good thing because we each rocked our portion of the triathlon and ended up placing third. We were the only all girls team too. Sweet. This was the area that I did the swim. The water looks calm there because I took it a few hours after I swam. But while I was swimming the wind was so strong it made the water very wavy. It was a tough swim. After the swim I had to run uphill to the transition area which was tough too. Overall I had a 29 minutes swim.

This is us before the start of the race.

Janelle after her first three miles, heading out for more.

After we finished.

I love this picture of us drinking our beer. This is after we found out we had won third.

The last several months have been very busy. I now have to start sewing my Christmas presents. At least I know what I'm sewing, I only have to go out and get the material. Below is a little video of the jump house at the fall festival. Kids just love the jump house!
