1,000 Miles

I did it . . . I clocked 1,000 miles on my jogging stroller this morning! Yeah! I have had my eye on this bench mark for the last couple hundred miles. Today was the day! This stroller has been through a lot, multiple flats, mutliple sets of tires, broken straps . . . but it keeps on chugging! I am especially grateful to the babes who have been so good on on those runs and walks for me. They must know that I am such a better mom after I get some exercise! They are very well rewarded with fun snacks and stroller toys but I am truly thankful they have been such good sports! I got this stroller in August of 2007, but didn't get my fun computer until December 2008. So, clocked 1000 miles in three years and just over 4 months! I am happy with that accomplishment!

Toliet Surprise

Bridget loves to put whatever she can in the toliet. She closes the lid after she has hidden whatever happened to be her lateset victim and leaves the scene. I went to use the bathroom and lifted the lid to find Ian's shoes. What you can't see that I uncovered later were a sock and multiple crayons too! Bridget you keep us laughing!

Pima County Fair

Ian's FABULOUS teacher, Mrs. Burke, got their class entries into the rock art contest at the Pima County Fair. The theme was insects. The rocks were on display at the fair though we never got to see them. Brian and Ian worked on Ian's together and they were so creative. Ian really wanted a scorpion, didn't they do a great job! Ian came home from school with a first place ribbon and a sweet, humble, "yeah, I won" said like "yeah I brushed my teeth, Mom" Figures a kid like Ian would win because he doesn't really care about winning or losing he just enjoys the journey! What a great kid! Way to go Ian!
