For a few weeks now there has only been one thing on Ethan's mind: his very first race! They had a fun run for kids at our rec center on Saturday and I had signed up Brett and Ethan, so Brett has been taking Ethan out and practicing.
Here is the picture Ethan took of the "Awesome!!!" things he got in his packet.

The boys right before the race.

Coming around to the finish line. Ethan was booking it at the middle of the 1 mile race and toward the end he was huffing it and said, "Daddy, I think I need to slow down a little."

Here they are coming up to the finish line where Ethan finished in 10 minutes! Not bad for a 5 year old!

And of course his totally awesome gram and gramps brought all his cousins to cheer him on.

This video is a splurge of several different events at my house. It includes: Lily, the dead head, head banger, climbing the walls, Lily not showing how well she is walking now, and, of course, stair surfing.



And, no, indeed it is not just for kids.
PS My hair is hideous, I know, I know. I took a shower and was too lazy to blow dry it. That aweful, limp, unstructured mess is the result. Yuck.

Okay, this is not something I have issues with, but if it's an issue for you, my friend Jana just started this new site up. Go. Check it out. Then contribute if you like!

Oh, I'ma dork, I had to get back on and add the link. It's Fertility Stumpers

HG on the other hand... maybe I should start my own "Dealing with HG" blog. Blah.

Lauren finally gets to do her own preschool!
Here are some pictures of playtime.



This is how we found Lauren sleeping after nap time one day last week; looks comfortable, huh.
Here is the life flight helicopter we got to see, Ethan was excited.

Yeah, I know, nothing but pictures lately. I have been trying, but I've been either out of town or super busy and all I have time for is putting up some pictures every now and then. So here they are.


Lauren looked cute today so I took a few pictures after dropping Ethan off at school and doing a few things around town.

At first I wasn't very fond of this style, but now I think it's pretty fun! Of course I was is a huge hurry when I was doing it so it didn't turn out as nice as usual.
