What a weekend!

Well, I have worked the last 12 days in a row- and 6 of those days were 12 hour shifts- yuck! So I was glad to have the next 2 days off!

Saturday was Jade and my "REST" day before our half marathon Sunday. And what better way to rest than to watch a teeny tiny baby all day and watch movies! It was great! Jade and I got to watch Laura's new foster daughter. She was only 7 days old. And she was perfect. She hardly ever cried. She just ate, slept, and was really awake and alert a couple of times. I even got a picture of her smiling... I know she's only 7 days old so that smile might just have been on accident but you look at that face... it looks like she was smiling! Jade and I had to take turns holding her cause we both wanted to hold her the whole time. What a wonderful way to relax after working so many days in a row. Hanging out with my family all day, watching movies and snuggling with a sweet tiny baby girl! Thanks Laura, call us anytime... or we'll call you LOL!

Kent even wanted to hold her.
As soon as Jeromy got home from the men's breakfast at church, he sanitized his hands and went straight for the baby. I love that man. I love that he loves babies, too, even tho he won't admit it. Look at his face looking at her..

Jeromy is lucky I am "fixed"... cause I was really feeling the baby urge. But I know my kids are almost grown, and I really don't want to start over, but I love babies!

She looked so peaceful sleeping I had to join her.

Sooo sweet!

CHECK OUT THESE ADORABLE FACES!

Jade and I were cracking up at all the different faces she was making!

Here she's looking up at Jade talking to her. She is the most alert baby! When she was awake!

Love those huge brown eyes! Gorgeous!

A little video...

Sweet baby girl, and sweet baby Jade... then it was time to say goodbye. Laura came to pick up her and brought us cookies, ice cream and coffee for watching her. I told Laura I should of bought her a coffee for letting us watch her it was such a treat.

I LOVE BABIES!!!

Jade and I loading up on carbs for dinner, for our run Sunday! We had pasta, tilapia and corn-yum!

Ok, Sunday morning. Jade and I are ready to do our Half Marathon! We've been training for 12 weeks! This is Jade's 1st half marathon, and my 3rd!!! We were so excited to do this. Mother and daughter! Running for the fun of it! This was the Poulsbo Marathon and Half Marathon and Lutifisk 3K! Get ur UFF-da on!

Jade and I with our numbers. It was so cold, people I mean it was sooooo coooold, we couldn't even take our hands out of our pockets for the picture... Jeromy, Aurora and Kent were there to cheer us on!

And we're off... Jade and I are pretty much in the middle of this pictures... can you see us???

Jeromy is such a great photographer. He drives around trying to find us and snaps pictures while we're in mid-run... he found me...

Jeromy found Jade running, too...

Here's me crossing the finish line. I also PR'ed. When I told my mom, she said "I'm sorry!" But a PR is a good thing! It means Personal Record! My first half was done in 2:29:33, my second half was done in 2:14:58, and today my 3rd half was done in 2:12:08! Almost 3 minutes faster!

Jade crossing the finish line, she really sprinted at the end! Her time was 2:56:43. Great job Jade!!! At the end of the race they had the usual, water, bagels, fruit, but they also had lefsa! YUM!

We had Aurora this weekend, too. Such a cutie... Aurora, too!

Jade and I also got a finishers medal. It's got the goofy fish on it... I've got 4 medals now... just sayin'...

The shirt- again with the goofy fish...

Now we're all just relaxing. I think I took 2 naps today. Jade slept for a while also... good for those muscles to rebuild/repair while we sleep! It's true- I read it in an article! Now I am baking Jeromy healthy carrot muffins, then I'm going to make my stir fry dinners I make for work. Haven't made that stuff in a while due to my crazy work schedule as of late. I think I might be back on 12's next week for a while, but not trying to think about that... just thinking about running with my daughter and holding that sweet little baby!
