Viking Fest Road Race, BBQ at my mom's, and getting Aurora!

Sounds like a fun busy Saturday doesn't it???

So first off, I headed over to my mom's early to pick Jade and Kent up who had spent the night, cause we all 3 were running in the Viking Fest Road Race!! Jeromy and Aurora were going to go also, but Jeromy already had a previous commitment to go to a men's breakfast at church, he missed the last one and he really enjoys going to those. And Aurora was having her baseball pictures taken this morning. Soooo, it was just Jade, Kent and I running.

Here we are at grandma and grandpa's with our numbers in place, the kids' numbers are in red cause they were running the 1 mile, my number is in black cause I was running the 5 miles.

Since we had no one to hold my camera at the run, we used the kids cell phones to get this next picture.... my kiddos and I....

I was a little whiny cause I HATE running in the rain, and after yesterdays weather.... all I can say is LAME. When Jeromy woke me up this morning the first thing he said is "You're not going to be happy"-- he knows me so well. So even tho it sprinkled all morning on the way there, when the race actually started it didn't rain at all, and I am so thankful for that. Any one else out there have a pet peeve of wet soggy feet???? Just me???? Anyway, enough complaining about that.

Also my fabulous cousin Laura and her son Kyle were also running the 5 miles, we all met up at the beginning of the race. So fun to run with family!!! Here's Laura and I holding up our participation ribbons. Just wanted to add that Laura and I were smokin'... literally smokin'... we were so hot and sweatin' from the run and the air was so cold that there was visible steam coming off our body's, I thought that was pretty funny! Just sayin' that we were "smokin'.... hot!" LOL--- Hey Laura! I don't normally think that we look alike, but I think we kinda do in this picture!

And one of the "kids"...

Then we headed back to grandma and grandpa's for a BBQ they were having!!! But not before I was able to get a shower in! I also got us all Viking Fest T-shirts cause they looked pretty cool this year...

Now onto some yummy BBQ... here's grandpa grilling. This picture is shot thru the new gazebo they got that we were supposed to be sitting in enjoying the sunshine while BBQing, but we couldn't sit out side cause it was cold and drizzly. Food was still great tho!

Everyone enjoying the food...

Smores...

Later on we were going to pick up Aurora and take her to her baseball practice... to the far right in pink pants is Aurora... the far left is Jeromy in his orange jacket. I was in the car for most of it cause I was cold hence this long distance photo...

Then just some cute pictures of Jeromy and Aurora...

Also wanted to say I was writing this post last weekend, then my computer stopped half way thru this post saying I had reached my quota for maximum picture space. So I was stuck for awhile cause I'm not computer savvy, so my mom was able to delete some old posts and now I can resume my post. So now it's actually Friday as I'm finishing this post.
