I Did It! 26.2 Miles!

Last weekend My mom and I went to San Francisco. I was picked from a lottery draw to run in the NIKE WOMEN'S MARATHON. We had so much fun and i enjoyed spending time with my mom, shes the best and such a good supporter! i really missed Peyton and Cole while i was gone, but i can now say i ran a marathon!

This picture was in the Market, there were so many fresh goods, i wish i could shop there everyday! I took this picture for Cole though, he is always teasing me that i love cheese to much.


This wall had all the names of the participates, over 30,000




Here's my awesome mom in front of the wall


the wind was crazy, this is Alcatraz across the bay


fresh shrimp in the bay... so so yummy


Start line... early morning!


the streets were packed with runners, i didn't actually cross the start line for about 30 min. after the start.


The Expotique was way energetic and fun! that's where we got my run packet


I saw this girl before I started, she was so cute cheering on her friend "Nicole"


After I finished i was so cold, it rained on us the whole time, but it didn't bother me till i was done, then it got cold fast! the ocean was so pretty and the waves were rolling in!


#1 Fan, i love my mom, she froze to death, but stuck it out for me THANKS MOM!


There i am in the white... i was so happy to see that finish line!


My mom took a bus to different stops and cheered me on, it totally helped! There i go!


This race was such a neat experience! i cant explain the emotions i felt after i finished, i felt so amazing (and hurt)! The stories of people i heard along the way were life changing. The race was a benefit for leukemia and lymphoma society and i feel so privileged i was able to participate!
The course was so breath taking, i ran down market street, through fishermans warf, past Alcatraz, past the golden gate bridge, down the beautiful board walk, through the san francisco zoo and around lakes. I finished next to the beach, the air was so fresh. It was Amazing! Thanks again mom for going with me!

Halloween Pillowcases

Yesterday while peyton was taking his nap, i made a few cute halloween pillowcases. I just loved this fabric when i saw it and couldnt resist! i had quite a bit of extra so i ended up making three, one for peyton and one for his two cousins Gavyn and Savy


I think they turned out pretty darn cute!

Our New "date night" game

BATTLE of the SEXES, Cole and I went to walmart one night cause we were bored and didnt just want to redbox AGAIN! we left with this game and some snack trays... total fun night and yes, Cole won!

FALL

Yesterday Peyton and I went to the Young's pumpkin patch and loaded up on pumpkins!! we had a blast picking all of them out, Peyton rolled one of those big ones to the car all by him self, it was so cute.. he also liked to get the real little ones too


when we got home i let him paint one, he really thought it was awesome that when ya mix blue and yellow he got green :) i love watching him grow

Pancakes at our house!!

I just thought i would share a little bit of what pancakes usually look like at our house, peyton loves to choose his own colors and see how they turn out

Garage floor

A Couple weeks ago cole and I re-did our garage floor, it was easy and kinda fun! cole called me the Sprinkle Princess cause i went a little wild on the flakes :) but the end result is great!!

Snap... and summers gone!

Here are some pictures from the summer, i've been horrible at blogging, so heres an update!
-Peyton is my pride and joy, i love him so much and love that i get to have him so much! i never have a dull moment! He is in preschool 3 days a week and im lost when he's gone!

We camped quite a bit, he always loves being on the mountain with his best friend Kolby!


the Big Kahuna was always a fun time, peyton is way wild and never stops going down the slide!

The lake was a really REALLY big part of our summer, Cole and Peyton are usually fishing and i like to lay out and read! Peyton has a new love for the tube this year
