Check one off the bucket list...

I made a great accomplishment this weekend! I ran my first 1/2 marathon (maybe my only). I ran with a my friends Renee and Tracy and after 3 months of training, we finally did it. We ran the Idaho Potato 1/2 Marathon in Boise and it was an absolutely beautiful day for it. The run was along the greenbelt from Lucky Peak Lake to Ann Morrison park. I finished in 2 hours and 3 minutes which was faster than I ever thought I'd be able to run it. Adam and the boys were there at the finish to cheer me on which made the last little bit bearable! I've learned that I can actually enjoy running for more than 2 miles but I'm so glad that I won't be feeling the pressure to have to go run a 10 miler each weekend. I'm actually thinking of a 10K next month but don't hold me to it!

still catching up... Arizona

We went to Arizona a couple of weeks ago to visit Adam's Grandma Bucher. She had only seen Cole once when he was 1 month old and has never seen Mason. We felt that we needed to get down there to see her since she is getting older and her health is not what it once was. We went with the Bucher side of the family which included Adam's parents and Neil, Keith, Michelle, and Gage, his Aunt Bev, Uncle Todd and cousins Ross and Dylan. The rest of the family lives in Arizona: his grandma, Aunt Jackie and Uncle Carl, and cousin Amanda and her husband Tyrell.

We had a great time seeing family that we haven't seen in a couple years and enjoying the warm sun! It was really good to see his grandma and let the kids know her a little bit. We also got to meet up with Adam's cousin Lori and her husband Dustin from the Bowman side of the family. They live in Tucson and were on their way down to California for a work thing so we met then on their way and had breakfast. It was fun to see them and they are moving to Georgia soon so it might be a little while before we see them again. Overall it was a great trip.

Doing some major catching up... Easter 2010

So I've totally negelected my blog for the past month and now need to do about 100 posts to catch up! The first is Easter.

I had to work, BUMMER, so Adam took the boys to church and then to his parents house for lunch. After I got off work we went over to my parents house and had a little Easter egg hunt and dinner. It was lots of fun and the boys were adorable in their Easter outfits:-)
