This weekend....

Kind of a busy weekend we had here. Friday, Jeromy headed out to his "Men's Retreat" for the weekend, that our church was putting on. He has really been looking forward to it. So while he was gone, Jade, Kent and I headed over to my mom's house. I had the night off from work. I was making dinner for my parents and us. I made that dinner I made the other night with the brown rice, lentils and shredded chicken- so gooood! Then grandma, Jade and I started sewing more clothes for our American girls dolls.

I think we kept grandma up kinda late. Woops! Sorry grandma! Jade was spending the night, but Kent and I left cause we were running in the Whaling Days 4 mile run together Saturday morning right before the Whaling Days parade.

This was kind of a special run, cause it was just me and my son. And it was Kent's first time ever running 4 straight miles.

Once we got there we ran into Kyle! Actually we knew he was coming so I had my camera ready when I saw him!

 Here's Kent warming up with alot of other runners just before the start... see him in his bright neon yellow shirt? And that crazy hat he ALWAYS wears when he runs in Whaling Days???? He always runs the 1 mile so I asked him did he really need to wear that for 4 miles? Well, he insisted... he did get alot of compliments about his "head gear"- at least we think they were compliments lol...

 Here's Kenton and I about to run our 4 miles together!!!

 All done! We got medals this year! Cool! The race was also done by timing chip which they have not posted the results as of yet, but since Kent and I crossed the finish line together (so cool!) we'll have the exact same time- what ever that is!

 We decided not to stay for the parade cause we were tired. And I wanted to get back to my moms and sew clothes with her and Jade for our cool dolls... Once Kent and I got cleaned up at home we headed back to my moms, check out our Whaling Days T-shirts..... and the shiny spot on my forehead....

 Okay onto the dolls. Jade, my mom and I sewed all afternoon while watching movies. It was a total thon, and my mom kept bringing out the chocolate...gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr- but it was so good.

Here's the new outfits Jade and I made. My doll: Katie, is on the left, and Jade's doll: Jade is on the right! How cute are they? Jade did a great job on her little white shirt and green dress, she also added the little yellow buttons. She's a pretty fast learner when it comes to sewing... must run in the family.

 A close up of mine, my mom has such cute materials and soooo many. Who needs to go to the fabric store?? Doesn't she have cool green eyes? See the cute little purple star accent?

 Check out the detail on her sparkle boot cut jeans... a sparkly silver star, there's one on the other side, too.

 Here's a couple outfits I also made for Aurora's doll which hasn't even come in the mail yet. Right now her favorite colors are orange and yellow, so the dress and the shirt, and another pair of sparkly pants with the little yellow flower detail. My mom has everything!

So we stayed till about 8pm, I actually was starting to get tired, too!

Thanks mom for a great weekend! Jade and I had alot of fun. I think Kent enjoyed himself, too, just relaxing and eating too much chocolate!

Jeromy comes home tomorrow. I can't wait. He's been gone too long, but these retreats thru church only happen about once a year. And it's great timing. He can get refreshed with God's Word, and be well grounded for his first day back to work at the shipyard- he will need it!!

Hey- I just got a call from Jeromy, he's on his way home tonight! Yay!!! He'll be home at about 11:00PM- woo-hoo!!!

Good night!
