Happy Turkey (Trot) Day!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with good food (thanks to Mike), good spirits, and wonderful friends.

The day started off with Gwen doing her first Turkey Trot 5K.  She ran around like a lunatic prior to the race even starting.  I knew this would hinder us breaking 50 minutes as she would be exhausted.  I was wrong........well sort of.  She got exhausted 3 minutes in and we walked a lot.  We were able to break 50 minutes (barely) thanks to my Drill Sargent effort and the kids music I had playing out of my iPod.  Leo was so excited to see us finish.  He can't wait to run with us someday.

We had such a great time though.  I am really proud of my little girl!!  We will for sure be doing more races in the future.

Bitter Cold

We have been experiencing bitter cold this week.  I'm talking highs don't even get to 10 and lows are below zero.  I think we are being punished for the AMAZING fall we had.  It was quite the slap of reality that's for sure.

The kids were excited to drink hot cocoa.  Technically they don't drink it.  I think they really want to like it, but don't.  

As parents of the year.  Leo had an accident at school.  All we had in his cubby was Boston Celtic basketball shorts.  It was 17 degrees and Leo walked around in those shorts and his camo boots.  He was living a thug's life!!

Fall Fun!

I feel like the fall has gotten away from us.  I can't really say we did anything exciting and after the rough 2014 we had, I am okay with boring.......Mom is cancer free!!!  Bill is cancer free!!  Mike has a job!!!  I can't complain that's for sure!!!  We've spent a lot of time with friends, watched Leo play soccer, enjoyed the wins given to us by the Broncos and Horned Frogs, and had fun as a family.   We will ride this wave through the holiday season and into 2015!!!
