The "Kids' Race"

After the recent races that Kevin and I have been in, Eli was really excited to get to run in what he called "The Kids' Race." The Autumn Chase has been going on for 30 years and I used to run in it when I was little. Eli did pretty well, with only a couple of breakdown times in the mile that we ran. Ronald, Eli's cousin, also ran and they had a great time with their t-shirts, Gatorade and ribbons after the race.

August Happenings

I love to see my boys playing on the floor together. Joel is trying to start crawling. He definitely gets around and enjoys it when the older brothers bring him toys to play with.

I got my hair cut off right at the beginning of the month. I was getting really tired of not being able to keep it off my neck while I was running. Besides the fact that it was about time...I cut it off and donate it every 1-2 years.

My birthday was the 15th and this beauty was what my hubby (with some help from friends/parents) got me! It has been so fun getting to use a *new* sewing machine, and one that does embroidery as well!! Been making baby stuff for all my sisters/in-laws/friends that are expecting.

Here's a couple more shots of the boys on our backyard waterpark. Canaan has become quite proficient at climbing up that ladder.

This picture was actually taken today...but I thought it was too cute not to share! :)

Hope you are having a wonderful September! I am looking so forward to cooler weather...hopefully we'll get to go camping before too long!
