City to Sea Half Marathon

So here are a couple pictures from my recent half-marathon. Rob and the kids followed me along the route so that I had a cheering section in three different spots, it was very sweet. I finished in 2 hours 34 minutes and 5 seconds. I even crossed the finished line with my favorite son. He ran the last little bit with me. In fact I was so pooped at that point he was almost running faster than me and I couldn't help it :) It was an interesting experience although I can't say whether I'll ever do it again.

Halloween dress-up


We went out today and the kids got to pick out their costumes for Halloween. Hunter told me he wanted to be Buzz Lightyear before we got to the store and I lucked out that they had one there. Sarah picked out a princess dress. After we came home they tried them on and played for a while before deciding to switch. Doesn't Hunter make an adorable princess?

Hunter Started Soccer



Hunter started playing soccer this month. Here are a few pictures of his practice. They usually do drills with the parents for the first 1/2 hour and then they play a practice game with each other, 3 on 3. It's so cute. The first day they were kicking the ball and they just kept on going, through the girls' field and onto the blacktop before an adult could catch up with them. They often all run huddled together following whoever is kicking the ball. It's too funny. He seems to be liking it more and more each week and I'm glad for that. Next year they may actually play real games on the weekends but I'm not really sure on that. We'll see.

Sarah Started Preschool

Sarah started preschool last month and she's loving it! She goes two days a week at the same time as Hunter so they get to play together and have snack together. Her teacher says she's one of the most "energetic" kids in her class, I guess that's a common theme in our kids. It's a lot of fun however to see her run in the classroom in the morning and sit right down where she's supposed to. She also has a lot of friends already, how cute is that? I also included a picture of her playing with Daddy's iPhone. It didn't take long for the kids to figure out how awesome they were too.
