Weekend Happenings...

Sooo Saturday morning Jade and I were finishing our 8th, of 12, week of training, and we finished it off with an 8 mile run!!! Jade's first that far!!!

Here we are just before running 8 miles...

And right after... I think we look better with the pinkish glow (massive sweat)! I love my shirt that says: This isn't sweat, it's liquid awesome!! I have to say I am sooo proud of Jade. She made this commitment to want to run a half marathon (coming up Oct. 16th) and she has not complained once about the tough training! She's doing GREAT!!!

Then afterwards I headed in to work a 10 hours shift.

So Sunday, we were missing church- a very rare thing- to watch/support Aurora showing her goat Dot at the Puyallup Fair, in the dairy goat junior division. We were first to get a good seat.

Jeromy's dad also came to support Aurora...

Scones... of course...

It was raining when we first got there, but then stopped soon after the rest of the time we were there. But NOT before my shoes/socks/feet were soaked. You may not know this but one of my biggest pet peeves is WET FEET! SOGGY, COLD, WET FEET TRAPPED INSIDE MUSHY COLD SOCKS DOUBLY TRAPPED INSIDE MY SHOES. Ok, got that out... my poor feet...

After a few minutes the kids started filtering into the judging area. There were 11 kids. See Aurora?

It took about a half hour for the judge to judge the kids with their goats for how well they handled them, how clean the animal was and how much knowledge the kids had about them. They were asked questions and stuff. Here they had all 11 kids line up from first place- AURORA, then second place all the way down the line. Aurora's closest to the camera on the far right of the line! In front... first... number one!!!

Here's Aurora with her first place ribbon! And her sister Blonca and her both holding their participation ribbons...

I really wanted to ride the big roller coaster. I love big roller coasters, especially the kinds that don't have that nasty whiplash/jerky feel to them, this one wasn't too bad. We all 4 road this one. Kent wasn't too sure at first...

Jeromy used his video camera and videod the kids behind us, I wish I could have gotten that one on here- it was hilarious all the spontaneous crazy faces we were all making!

Snapped this cool one of the kids being flung to one side...

Jeromy standing by this cool tree with 2 bears carved into it. They actually had people behind this mesh see-thru curtain actively using chainsaws carving amazing artwork into logs...

Another hug for Aurora... Jeromy is so cute... he is so proud of his daughter, too!

While the kids were off doing their own thing, Jade sent me this pic of Kent getting one of his favorite things- cotton candy. It just makes me sick to think of him eating that. It's HUGE! And he ate the whole thing- gross!!!

I love getting these photo booth photos! We're just so funny...

After the fair, we headed over to Jeromy's parents house for the Every-2-months-birthday-celebration-party! There were alot of birthdays going on. Jade was one of them from last month.

All the little kids hanging out and eating...

There was also a new baby born this past August. Little Ant (Anthony Junior). And he is adorable!!! He's 6 weeks old, and guess who got to hold him first??? I guess I was just at the right place at the right time... infront of everyone else!!! Look at those eyes!Here's Jade holding him. She's such a cutie-pie!!! Love that girl...

In the middle is Jeromy's dad, Chuck, on the left of Chuck is Chucks uncle, and to the right is Chucks brother Dennis... I could see the family resemblance in all 3 and in Jeromy!

Birthday cupcakes and cake.... mmmmmm...

Home now. Tired and full. But not overly full. I'm learning self control with food. Sometimes it wins... like last weekend, but sometimes I win- like this weekend.

Good night!
