This huge vinyl saying on the wall has been bothering us since we moved in. We borrowed a ladder that would work on stairs from some friends. Jeremy decided we should leave up the phrase "yo but the mo". I quickly vetoed that one! We now have a beautiful picture of the Idaho Falls Temple hanging here, but I forgot to snap a picture of that.
Puna sent Lily some money to buy a new leotard for gymnastics. Lily liked the stars and shiny fabric on this one. She was so excited to model it for me. She can't wait to wear it to class next week. Thanks Puna!
I have been going to Zumba classes three days a week. The place where I go is very kid friendly which makes it so much easier for me to exercise. Lily usually plays in another room with kids her age and Annie loves to stay by my side and dance with me. This week she wanted to wear her princess dress to one of the classes. This girl loves to Zumba! Notice Lily doing her own thing in the picture below, but Annie is all business. She wants to watch the instructor.
Mowing an acre is really a drag when you have allergies. To help keep my eyes protected, Jeremy found his old paintball goggles. They have helped so much. I think Lily is ready to be a pilot like her Grampy. She loves the roar of the motor on the mower and likes to wear the headphones and goggles too.
The biggest news for me this week is that I ran my first 10k. Jeremy was going to run it with me but he injured his ankle playing soccer. It was a little lonely running over 6 miles alone, but my iPod kept me going. And Jeremy surprised me by meeting me halfway to snap some pictures and give me a kiss. Then he met me at the finish line for a big hug and more kisses. The whole drive home he kept smiling at me and telling me he was so proud of me. I am proud of myself. I was never an athlete or a runner growing up. I had to work hard to build up my endurance. But it was worth it and I actually enjoy running now. I still have a lot of weight to lose but I feel stronger than ever and ready to do what it takes.
We also got a visit from our friends the McCashlands this weekend. They came to stay with us and see Bill Cosby live. The show was great. Bill Cosby performed for almost two hours and made us laugh.....a lot. We loved it. A great way to end our week.

You look so happy and proud of yourself...and you should be! Lily looks so cute and Annie loves to dress up, even at class! What a great family we have!
Awesome work on the 10k. Sad that Jeremy couldn't run with you but I'm glad he was a good support anyway. Sounds like an awesome weekend! Congrats again on the run, you rock!
Congratulations on that run, Christine! It's the best feeling, huh?! And, the moment when you realize that you are actually beginning to enjoy running = good stuff!
Way to go, girl!
And, your garden looks like it's going to be fabulous. We have dry and windy down here in Vernal and it is a lot of experimenting, but we've never been without crops :)
