2011 is now officially 1/3 over!!!

Time is going by so fast.

So today... well, I signed us all up for the Viking Fest Road Race on May 21st, including Aurora since we have her that weekend!!! I'm going to be doing the 5 miles, and the rest of the fam is doing the one mile! This is one of my favorite races cause it's all along the water mostly with gentle hills, so peaceful!

Also, just finished my 4th week of training, the little black star to the far right means I did all 6 days of training for that week. It's funny how a little star can make a difference. I know last year I missed some of the cardio workouts- never the runs tho- but I don't want to have a missing star so it's motivating me to do ALL my training, what ever works right??

So today, it being nice, I wanted to take advantage and go to a park. We all headed to Scenic Beach State Park.

Such cute kids... they look like twins! Note to self: I think it's time to cut Kent's hair again!!

Jade didn't mind posing for the camera when ever I asked her to...

Kent.... not so much... still soooo cute tho...

There was alot of places roped off tho, that we couldn't go. Like this bridge, just past where Jade is standing there was some yellow caution tape, I made sure it was behind that tree to the left so it wouldn't ruin the picture. It said something about trees falling, so they must need to do a deep cleaning of the wooded area... well they better hurry up cause there were alot of families there wanting to explore... even Kent said he had a nice time just walking around taking in the sights, when I wasn't bugging him for a picture that is...

There's my cheesy girl, she's always ready with a smile.... she's a nature girl, too...

We finally found a trail down to the water that wasn't roped off! Ahhhhh, the ridiculously happy couple... 99.99% of the time!

Some video of the weirdos in my family. Jeromy wanted me to tell you that this was his 3rd time making the shell talk cause I couldn't get my camera to work right, and he just wasn't feeling as spontaneous as the first try....

Cool... mom likes the drift wood! Quick kids, go sit on it so I can take a picture. Kent was really getting tired of me posing him. Oh well, it's the price you pay if you want Dairy Queen after!

Hey, there's a cool looking tree to climb, doesn't Kent look natural like he just climbed it cause he wanted to? NO? Well, you'd be right, sorry Kent!

Jeromy had fun climbing and running. He and Jade kept racing each other to the next object of interest, or would run just to run- who does that??? LOL-- ME! Jeromy climbed the tree, then jumped on this stump, I had Kent casually stand in the picture, then Jeromy jumped off, careful with those knees Mister!!

This was actually one BIG tree, with a hole in the middle at the base of it. That's Jade's little face peaking thru- so cute!This picture of Jeromy and I was really dark cause it was so bright behind us, so I played with the color contrast features and tinting stuff... fun...Yeah, finally ICE-CREAM!!! Love those kids, Jeromy thinks they are spoiled, but as my cousin Kristi says... they are just well cared for!So Jeromy and I had planned on having a "date night" tomorrow night. We have been wanting to go to the Out back ever since it wasn't opened when we went their for Jeromy's birthday right after church and they weren't open yet. Well, I couldn't wait till tomorrow night. That bloomin' onion was calling my name people- you understand right? Well, Jeromy understood, so off we went! It was soooo yummy and I am sooooo full now. And not too much guilt since I ran my 5 miles this morning!

Now we are all relaxing and we are about to watch a movie we got at Costco last week...

Good night!
