I feel like I should cancel everthing to make summer last longer. We have camping trips coming up, a trip to visit the Wigtons, a few other possible trips. I feel stressed already. Dave has been working long hours the last three weeks and I haven't seen him more than a few minutes a day and I am tired. The girls miss him like crazy too. He got rained out at work yesterday and came home at normal time and Emma talked his ear off! I still can't believe that Emma starts school in a few weeks. I feel kind of bittersweet about it. I am excited to spend more one on one time with Sammi and excited for E cuz I know she will love it but I will miss my big girl! And I am not sure how I feel about the public school curriculum. They seem to miss all the articles on how children learn best. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-2502592470331503597?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/2502592470331503597/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=2502592470331503597' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/2502592470331503597'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/2502592470331503597'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2010/07/our-summer-schedule-is-quickly-filling.html' title=''/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/TDciU-gwODI/AAAAAAAAARM/mATY7tbDTM8/s72-c/039.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-1383457157232031233</id><published>2010-04-19T21:05:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-19T21:05:33.277-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>www.AllThingsBaby.biz is having a giveaway!

It was cold and damp but I had a great run, which surprised even me.  The girls are both getting so big, I just can't believe it.  Emma has her kindergarten screening next month and &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Sammi&lt;/span&gt; is finally stringing a few words together.  They are both ready for summer and to get outside.  We are planning a family trip this year and we are all eager to go to Florida and soak up some sun and visit the grandmas.  Last week I took Emma rollerskating and man that is entertainment.  She can't wait to go back and practice more, but I was so sore from holding both of us up that I could barely move that night.  It was a lot of laughs though.  The kids were so terrible at it when we got there.  By the end they were all scooting around with no hands!  We have roasted &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;marshmallows&lt;/span&gt; this spring, too.  I am not at home right now but when I get home I will post some pictures.  &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Yay&lt;/span&gt; for Spring!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-3143965838774014696?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/3143965838774014696/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=3143965838774014696' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/3143965838774014696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/3143965838774014696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-had-my-first-run-of-season-last-night.html' title=''/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-8456371155459472813</id><published>2010-02-25T21:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-25T21:23:29.033-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I am my worst enemy.</title><content type='html'>I, like every woman, am my biggest critic.  I never live up to the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;ridiculously&lt;/span&gt; high standards that I set for myself.  I see women around me and believe that by all appearances they have it all together.  (I know that they have issues that I will never see).  I never keep my house clean enough, I don't spend enough time with my kids (oh, I am always with them but cleaning and cooking while shouting at them to go play doesn't count), I don't cook as healthy as I would like to, I don't recycle enough, the list of my "failures" goes on and on.  I have lofty goals and think I should reach them all today.  But I have been trying hard to take a new approach.  I have a mantra, "I am doing the best that &lt;em&gt;I&lt;/em&gt; can".   I repeat it over and over to remind myself that I am doing the best I can today, right now.  Tomorrow may be better or worse but for today's circumstances and moods I am doing my best.  I am trying to prioritize what is really important.  Who cares if my house is dusted?  If you care then don't come over.  In 20 years I want my kids to remember that I sat on the floor, dust bunnies and all, and played with them.  So I made a list of all the things I do that I should be happy with.&lt;br /&gt;I cook lovingly (sometimes begrudgingly) for my family almost everyday, twice a day.  Maybe I don't make everything from scratch but I am health &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;conscious&lt;/span&gt; and make a lot from scratch.  So what if occasionally I give them spaghetti-&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;o's&lt;/span&gt; and hot dogs. &lt;br /&gt;I read to my girls everyday, without fail.&lt;br /&gt;We recycle.&lt;br /&gt;We try to reduce our carbon footprint with our cloth napkins and we even cloth diapered for a long while. &lt;br /&gt;I always try to do what is best for my kiddos whether it be breastfeeding, co-sleeping or birthing them naturally. &lt;br /&gt;We had a good day today and I am going to go to bed and say my prayers and praise myself a little bit.  I don't need to be so hard on myself, I need to be happy where I am and work slowly towards important goals.  I am wasting time I could be spending with my girls with this negative nelly behavior.&lt;br /&gt;I love my family and wouldn't change them a bit!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-8456371155459472813?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/8456371155459472813/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=8456371155459472813' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/8456371155459472813'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/8456371155459472813'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2010/02/i-am-my-worst-enemy.html' title='I am my worst enemy.'/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-8717471176991835898</id><published>2009-11-18T10:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-18T10:44:10.633-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SwRAF1Ri7FI/AAAAAAAAAQs/Jz69U9M1iVU/s1600/untitled.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405515921695632466" style="DISPLAY: block;

I am just so incredibly unorganized.  Anyways... I am sitting here listening to my girls play &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;campout&lt;/span&gt;.  It is so funny to listen to Emma try to convince Samantha to do what she wants.  Emma is my mother hen and loves to be in charge.  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Sammi&lt;/span&gt; is for the most part willing to do whatever big sissy is doing.  Emma made up a bed on the floor and put dress up clothes on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Sammi&lt;/span&gt;.  After each change they come in and show me.  They are wearing jackets since it is cold outside at their campsite, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;lol&lt;/span&gt;!  Emma's games are never simple, the more elaborate the better!  Now Sam is hiding in here with me and Emma is trying to bribe her back into the campsite.  Today in the van &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Sammi&lt;/span&gt; was imitating every dance move Emma made.  What a blessing to watch these two together everyday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Everyone always laughs at me when I call Samantha a baby.  But she is my baby!  She is definitely getting too big too fast though.  She started refusing to sit in her high chair so we took it down last week and brought up the booster seat.  Every time she sees the camera she gets a big grin, unless Sissy is in the picture with her and then she pushes and yells.  Last night I gave Emma a spa pedicure and of course Sammi had to have one too.  She looked so cute.  She still isn't saying much at all but gets her point across just fine.  She is an excellent head shaker and nodder.  Sam do you want lotion, yep she nods.  Did you have fun at the babysitters, an adamant head shake no!  Her Papa calls her smiley and she is pretty happy most of the time.  She loves to try on Emma's shoes and jewelry and today wore a necklace and took a purse to the gym just like Em.  One of her favorite things to do right now is stand on Emma's bed and dance to Emma's VBS cd. She is also drinking from a big girl cup at the table.  sniff sniff. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-8718157633637196496?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/8718157633637196496/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=8718157633637196496' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/8718157633637196496'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/8718157633637196496'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-baby-is-not-baby-anymore.html' title='My baby is not a baby anymore'/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGlMiiOBsI/AAAAAAAAAPo/1oYEI8d6Ui8/s72-c/IMG_5518.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-4599323077082500804</id><published>2009-07-24T18:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-31T07:51:31.716-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My girls are getting so big!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SnMEl9NoEcI/AAAAAAAAAOI/5TAsPBqE0ow/s1600-h/out+on+the+canoe+family+float+09+(7).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SnMEl9NoEcI/AAAAAAAAAOI/5TAsPBqE0ow/s320/out+on+the+canoe+family+float+09+(7).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364636631261778370" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SnMElRQq12I/AAAAAAAAAOA/seQo4WW2eHg/s1600-h/out+on+the+canoe+family+float+09+(12).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SnMElRQq12I/AAAAAAAAAOA/seQo4WW2eHg/s320/out+on+the+canoe+family+float+09+(12).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364636619463382882" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SnMElMQhJ3I/AAAAAAAAAN4/bipvlGgwfm4/s1600-h/Family+float+July+11,+2009+(53).jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SnMElMQhJ3I/AAAAAAAAAN4/bipvlGgwfm4/s320/Family+float+July+11,+2009+(53).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364636618120570738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SnMEkjyeTQI/AAAAAAAAANw/QR42soDA6Mo/s1600-h/Family+float+July+11,+2009+(46).jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SnMEkjyeTQI/AAAAAAAAANw/QR42soDA6Mo/s320/Family+float+July+11,+2009+(46).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364636607257136386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked out the back window the other day my little girl was pumping her legs on the swing! All by herself. It warmed my heart, I can't believe how big she is getting! It is also a relief since she could swing for hours and I get tired of pushing her long before she gets done. We go for her preschool open house mid August. She seems very excited but I think she may be getting a little nervous too. She has been a little difficult to deal with lately. She has been taking swim lessons and we can't believe how fast she is picking up on it. She did level one and came out of it doggy paddling. She loves to practice and pretty much loves anything in the water. Except canoeing. We went on a camping trip 2 weeks ago and went canoeing and she loved playing in the river and loved camping after she got used to it but she was completely freaked out by the canoe. When we got there late Friday night she got out excited. Then she lets out this blood curdling scream and we all thought something stung her. She said she got bit by a bug. Then she locked herself in the tent w/the flashlight and refused to come out. Eventually we talked her into coming out and hanging out around the fire for awhile, then she decided to go exploring in the dark. Sat. we take the bus to the drop off and we get out and she starts crying that she doesn't want to canoe and she is not getting in that thing. I tried explaining to her that we had no other way to get back to camp. She was really scared and every time we stopped it was a bit of a battle to get her back in the canoe. But she loved swimming in the river. It was overall a good trip, next year I think we will just camp and try the canoe again when she is a little older.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sammi is starting to say a few words they are few and far between. She says mama and Ehba (Emma) most often. I have heard ball once and Daddy has heard her say binky a couple times. She also loves the water and thinks that she can swim like Emma. She just takes off in the pool and walks until the water is almost over her head, all the while pumping her arms like she is swimming. It doesn't faze her a bit to go under either. She comes up smiling, no sputtering. She climbs everything and can get on our bed and Emma's bed. We are quickly entering the tantrum stage! She gets mad a lot over how we serve her food. She wants her banana in the peeling and her breakfast bars in the wrapper and no bib. She is very silly though and keeps us laughing. She makes the funniest faces and dances in the car like a bobble head.

Probably because we traditionally spend the day at Dave's dad's house cooking out and shooting fireworks.  Since he had houseguests all of June we decided to give him the year off and went instead to a birthday party and to celebrate at our good friends who just moved in down the street.  The party was a lot of fun and the kids had a blast.  They played in the sand, the playground, at the splash and play, with squirt guns, heard Jack Snaps perform and of course had hot dogs and cake for the birthday boys.  Then home for a nap before we spent the evening at Beth and Greg's.  Unfortunately they had been up late the night before and Emma had a complete meltdown just before dark and had to be taken home without watching any fireworks.  Sammi just didn't like the noise so she was fine with mom's decision.  Emma recently finished up level 1 swim lessons and came out of it doing the doggy paddle and swimming underwater.  She began level 2 tonight and is a regular little mermaid.  She really enjoys the water and asks to swim several times a day.  She is always the first in the pool and the last one out.  Sammi also loves the water and thinks she can swim.  She bats our hands away and takes off into the water as if she is 4.  We really have to keep an eye on her.  She gets cold pretty fast though so her swims are more short lived.  She loved the splash and play at the party.  She is our silly girl these days.  She has the orneriest laugh and keeps us tickeled all the time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-7220211371820326441?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/7220211371820326441/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=7220211371820326441' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/7220211371820326441'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/7220211371820326441'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2009/07/4th-of-july.html' title='4th of July'/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-8861661621486689062</id><published>2009-07-06T19:01:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-06T19:01:26.340-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d5441794e6a45794e6a413d0d0a&amp;blogview=true&amp;campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox scrapbook: rinaldi4th" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d5441794e6a45794e6a413d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=google&amp;campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own scrapbook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.smilebox.com/scrapbooks" target="_blank"&gt;Make a Smilebox scrapbook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-8861661621486689062?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/8861661621486689062/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=8861661621486689062' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/8861661621486689062'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/8861661621486689062'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2009/07/make-smilebox-scrapbook.html' title=''/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-7144529277848684109</id><published>2009-06-15T18:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-31T08:00:29.346-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mother's Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SnMGm5_VZxI/AAAAAAAAAOo/RGahQpofnIo/s1600-h/mothers+day+2009+(29).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

She told Daddy what she wanted to get me and he cracked up and told me that he didn't know what I would think of it but that I would use it a lot. I had no idea what to expect. That morning I went and ran a 5k. It was early and rainy so Dave and the girls stayed home to sleep. I went and ran and I ran a lot faster than I expected to. I was very proud of my 29.16 finish. Which put me at about a 9 1/2 minute pace. I come home from the race and get out of the car, a smiling Emma face peers out the window then runs out of the house and wraps me in a hug yelling "happy mother's day!" I came inside and she wants to give me my gift right away. She had told me the day before that she had picked out a music card just for me and I assumed she meant those musical greeting cards, she loves those and Dave had just got one for graduation 2 days before. Well, I open my gift and she got me a gift card for mp3's. Dave wanted to get a smaller denomination but she didn't like the color of that one so she got a bigger one. Then I open the big gift. It is a Hannah Montana pillowcase! Emma is so excited to give it to me. And of course I love it! We put it on my pillow right away. But the best part is why she got me a Hannah Montana pillowcase. The week before we had gone to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;walmart&lt;/span&gt; to let her spend her allowance. We checked out the clearance rack to see what they had. Emma found a Cheetah girls pillowcase that she wanted to buy. I explained that she could buy it but it would take all of her money. She asked if I liked it and I said yes, it was very pretty. In the end she decided not to buy it. But she remembered that I had said I liked it (of course I meant for her but...) and tried to buy me something I wanted. Dave said when they went shopping they didn't have the Cheetah girls one so they checked out the pillowcase aisle and she picked out the Hannah Montana one. I think it was just about the sweetest thing that she thought of something I said I liked. It just made it the best mother's day ever! When I put it on my pillow and showed her I guess my voice cracked and she said" Mommy, are you crying?" I didn't know what to say so I just didn't answer and she told everyone the rest of the day that she bought me a Hannah Montana pillowcase and that I cried when she gave it to me because I was so happy. It was hilarious and sweet!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-7144529277848684109?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/7144529277848684109/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=7144529277848684109' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/7144529277848684109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/7144529277848684109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2009/06/mothers-day.html' title='Mother&apos;s Day'/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SnMGm5_VZxI/AAAAAAAAAOo/RGahQpofnIo/s72-c/mothers+day+2009+(29).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-8144702607229025009</id><published>2009-05-12T13:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-12T13:54:40.791-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dave's Graduation</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SgniDXQ3krI/AAAAAAAAAMw/LA8fdq-Ufb8/s1600-h/IMG_9310.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SgniDXQ3krI/AAAAAAAAAMw/LA8fdq-Ufb8/s320/IMG_9310.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;Dave graduated from UMKC May 8, 2009 with a Master Degree in Environmental and Urban Geosciences.

Emma wanted to take a bath by herself this morning so I put Sammi in for hers first. She could hear Emma singing in the living room and kept pointing. I said, "well holler at her" So Sammi gave it her best shot. "Ehba!" She has just started trying to say Emma this week and it always is Ehba. It cracks me up.  She really wanted Emma to get in with her.  If Emma is in the tub by herself Sammi comes in and gives her kisses and tries to climb in with her.  Sammi is starting to say some words.  So far she says, Mama, Dada, bubble, Papa and Emma.  She also makes a dog noise (sort of, it is kind of like a growl) and makes an uh-oh type sound.  Emma is really in to Scooby Doo and has started talking like SHaggy.  She says "like" a lot and says "totally" a lot.  She will say something like "I totally want cereal"  or "it is like hot in here".  It is the funniest thing.  She sounds so grown up these days and her expressions when she talks are priceless.  She does a lot of hand gesturing.  We are very excited that DAve graduates on Friday and have enjoyed DAddy with no homework.  Tonight I decided to start on taking down the wallpaper in the kitchen and we got all of the old paper down.  I thought it would take longer but with his help it was a breeze.  It came off really easy.  Of course now I have to look at it until payday to buy paint.  Emma is big into planning things too.  She comes up with these elaborate explanantions for how we should do things.  Today it was "mom, I will buy you a bike helmet for mother's day. Then we can ride together and have a family day on the bikes.  NO, Daddy can push Sammi in her car and we can all ride together.  but it will be after mother's day.  I will get you a bike helmet."  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-3850038313001992624?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/3850038313001992624/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=3850038313001992624' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/3850038313001992624'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/3850038313001992624'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-girls.html' title='My girls!'/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-7458977725883044408</id><published>2009-04-14T09:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-14T09:12:24.770-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Easter</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SeS15ruK0GI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/PlKNNVj_YPA/s1600-h/Easter+2009,+Sammi+has+a+camera+face+(5).JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SeS15ruK0GI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/PlKNNVj_YPA/s320/Easter+2009,+Sammi+has+a+camera+face+(5).JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

I wish I could put into words the expressions that they make and the million ways they make us laugh.  Samantha is so funny and silly.  She is really starting to babble in this alien language.  Sometimes she gets so high &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;pitched&lt;/span&gt; and is almost like a screech or singing.  And she doesn't really say any words but she understands a lot more than I think she should be able to.  Last night she put her socks in the hamper when I asked her to.  Of course then she got them back out to play with.  Her interests are so different than Emma's at that age.  She loves the big &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;legos&lt;/span&gt; and puts them together then pulls them apart.  Today she put two together then put them in a car.  In and out they went.  She gets really excited over balls.  And she hugs and pats everything.  She hugs the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;lego&lt;/span&gt; towers and pats it.  Yesterday at a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;playdate&lt;/span&gt; our friend Hannah hit &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Sammi&lt;/span&gt; and she looked at her like "oh yeah, watch this" then she hit herself.  She loved the plastic Easter eggs and played with them for a half hour at a time.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;Emma is so 4.  She is trying to find her sense of humor and makes up jokes all the time.  They either don't make sense or are just statements.  But she just cracks up.  She likes to make up &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;nonsense&lt;/span&gt; words, too.  She likes to rhyme but with her nonsense words.  I don't think she can think of a real word to rhyme fast enough so she just makes one up.  At least she understands the concept.  She has spring fever I think.  If I am not telling her to sit on the furniture not jump I am yelling to stop doing flips.  She likes to break dance (thanks Zane).  It is pretty &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;stinkin&lt;/span&gt; funny.  She still ends up in our bed almost every night.  She loves to snuggle and curls up right next to one of us.  Right now it is usually daddy.  She makes the most grown up expressions and I love to watch her when she thinks no one else is around.  She was peeling a banana this morning and the look on her face was precious.  She was concentrating so hard and you could just tell after she got started her mind was wandering.  And she is so kind hearted.  She loves to share with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Sammi&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;tries&lt;/span&gt; to take care of everyone. When I was sick she kept bringing me sips of water.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-2530414774166965930?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/2530414774166965930/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=2530414774166965930' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/2530414774166965930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/2530414774166965930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2009/04/so-my-girls-are-so-funny-and-beautiful.html' title=''/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-3591447150515620362</id><published>2009-03-19T11:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-19T11:17:13.953-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/ScKMJ4JbdzI/AAAAAAAAALA/JVXjkltMVms/s1600-h/Belton+St+pats+parade+march+14+2009+(4).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/ScKMJ4JbdzI/AAAAAAAAALA/JVXjkltMVms/s320/Belton+St+pats+parade+march+14+2009+(4).JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/ScKMJ0bzDwI/AAAAAAAAALI/nkYwEIem8No/s1600-h/Martin+City+st+pats+parade+march+15+2009+(2).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/ScKMJ0bzDwI/AAAAAAAAALI/nkYwEIem8No/s320/Martin+City+st+pats+parade+march+15+2009+(2).JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  Sammi wearing Emma's tiara.

It was a lot of fun. Sammi likes to watch the horses and Emma just likes the whole shebang! Emma went to a sleepover at Ashley's (her first sleepover at a friends, sniff,sniff)and we met them Sunday for the Martin City parade. We got there way too early and Emma was a grouch and I wanted to scream. But once the parade got going it was a lot of fun. The kids ran between the parade and the van and we all just chatted it up. There were four families there and between us we had 11 kids, 8 of them 4 years old or under. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-8925727238648143426?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/8925727238648143426/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=8925727238648143426' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/8925727238648143426'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/8925727238648143426'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2009/03/st-patricks-day.html' title='St. Patrick&apos;s Day'/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-1418211887807284070</id><published>2008-08-02T18:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-15T01:29:58.080-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Grand Country Inn Branson 08</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SJUH0Zpd6uI/AAAAAAAAAKA/3n_uaktdsFg/s1600-h/624476-R1-02-1A.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SJUH0Zpd6uI/AAAAAAAAAKA/3n_uaktdsFg/s320/624476-R1-02-1A.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SJUH0rsX6HI/AAAAAAAAAKI/GtD-PwGFRtE/s1600-h/624476-R1-07-6A.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SJUH0rsX6HI/AAAAAAAAAKI/GtD-PwGFRtE/s320/624476-R1-07-6A.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SJUH0pFZuSI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/dmirHZ1AsWs/s1600-h/624476-R1-08-8A.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SJUH0pFZuSI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/dmirHZ1AsWs/s320/624476-R1-08-8A.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SJUH0zGCDMI/AAAAAAAAAKY/rGlusbbNmPA/s1600-h/624476-R1-09-9A.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SJUH0zGCDMI/AAAAAAAAAKY/rGlusbbNmPA/s320/624476-R1-09-9A.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"&gt;&lt;img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ;

Oh well.  So much for doing this everyday.  I have had a very busy 3 weeks.  The girls haven't slept well in those 3 weeks either so Mommy is tired, crabby and not been running like she should.  I paid for the marathon though so I am getting back on track this week.  I ran 6 miles today and am doing 12 tomorrow.  I am trying to get up and run in the morning since it is finally too hot to run at night before it gets dark.  It is hard to get up though when I have been up several times overnight.

Yay me! The second picture cracked me up and I said Samantha was big pimpin, so then Emma wanted to be big pimpin in the 3rd shot. Sammi looked really cute in the swimsuit but pooped before we made it in the water. Maybe next time she will get to swim in it. She ended up in her swim diaper and shirt. So on Sunday I ran 5 miles! 5 whole miles! I never dreamed I could run 5 miles without stopping. Heck, I never dreamed I could run 3, but now I do that 3 times a week! It is a fun adventure that I am very glad I decided to undertake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marathon goal: run, walk the aid stations, run across the finish line in under the 6 hour time limit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SHQl3Ho24FI/AAAAAAAAAIg/gnddsjLNhvo/s1600-h/IMG_2566.JPG"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SHQl3Ho24FI/AAAAAAAAAIg/gnddsjLNhvo/s320/IMG_2566.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SHQl3sHGTUI/AAAAAAAAAIo/ZOvHO3yEEbE/s1600-h/IMG_2567.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SHQl3sHGTUI/AAAAAAAAAIo/ZOvHO3yEEbE/s320/IMG_2567.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SHQl3pl7MBI/AAAAAAAAAIw/XpnGjuizfWw/s1600-h/IMG_2568.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SHQl3pl7MBI/AAAAAAAAAIw/XpnGjuizfWw/s320/IMG_2568.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SHQl32ElGUI/AAAAAAAAAI4/zSvNUlEV7pg/s1600-h/IMG_2574.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SHQl32ElGUI/AAAAAAAAAI4/zSvNUlEV7pg/s320/IMG_2574.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-4177803506085351239?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/4177803506085351239/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=4177803506085351239' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/4177803506085351239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/4177803506085351239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2008/07/july-7.html' title='July 7'/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SHQl3Ho24FI/AAAAAAAAAIg/gnddsjLNhvo/s72-c/IMG_2566.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-5777468517102992156</id><published>2008-07-08T19:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-15T01:29:59.710-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;We had a really great afternoon out back on Sunday.

Maybe my pics are too big cuz there are just four on here too and that still leaves three missing. Oh well. the one with me in it I obviously didn't take, Dave likes my camera too. He took all of them after Emma cooking. Emma was helping me make meatballs tonight. She actually does a pretty good job. Seconds after the smiling pic of Sammi in the pool the floatie popped and scared all of us!

I started off really flat footed. But I got over it and ran the entire 3 miles! Yay! I even finished on the biggest hill in my route, which I call the monster. I was sorting baby clothes today and tried a halloween hat on Sammi and Emma felt she had to try on her coat from last year. It was funny. Sammi looks like my little homegirl.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGL_nnhtOvI/AAAAAAAAAC4/XrHQwt1C0ds/s1600-h/IMG_9952.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGL_nnhtOvI/AAAAAAAAAC4/XrHQwt1C0ds/s320/IMG_9952.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGL_njb9e6I/AAAAAAAAADA/N8UOlry6mVs/s1600-h/IMG_9954.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGL_njb9e6I/AAAAAAAAADA/N8UOlry6mVs/s320/IMG_9954.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGL_oID2toI/AAAAAAAAADI/BbMBrXmbpKs/s1600-h/IMG_9955.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGL_oID2toI/AAAAAAAAADI/BbMBrXmbpKs/s320/IMG_9955.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-985965260556384340?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/985965260556384340/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=985965260556384340' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/985965260556384340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/985965260556384340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2008/06/june-25.html' title='June 25'/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGL_nZBKtLI/AAAAAAAAACw/S765Z12gAdU/s72-c/IMG_9945.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-9067304320617113275</id><published>2008-06-24T19:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-15T01:30:06.086-08:00</updated><title type='text'>June 24</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGGu_vzD0bI/AAAAAAAAACI/4AoIVSjwf6k/s1600-h/IMG_9939.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGGu_vzD0bI/AAAAAAAAACI/4AoIVSjwf6k/s320/IMG_9939.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Today was a day of rest on the marathon training. All day I wanted to go run, or bike or something but I am supposed to rest. It is probably so addicting because it is a guilt free hour away from the kids. I spot some really pretty pictures of Emma during the day but since she screams and yells at me everytime I take her picture I can't get them. That poor kid just hates having her picture made. That is unless Samantha is getting her picture taken. Then Emma runs over says take my picture and proceeds to make faces at me or something else that makes it difficult to get a good picture of the two of them together. Sammi just stops smiling or doing whatever she was doing when she sees the camera. I think she is curious what the shiny thing is that keeps flashing light at her. One minute Sammi looks so much like Dave and the next it is all me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGGu_90jz0I/AAAAAAAAACQ/Wc2Gtn3X29o/s1600-h/9913.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGGu_90jz0I/AAAAAAAAACQ/Wc2Gtn3X29o/s320/9913.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGGvAIK4BqI/AAAAAAAAACY/zT9M7ilMVZE/s1600-h/9934.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGGvAIK4BqI/AAAAAAAAACY/zT9M7ilMVZE/s320/9934.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGGvASSXtPI/AAAAAAAAACg/tAO8Zbrsurk/s1600-h/9918.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CLEAR: both; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGGvASSXtPI/AAAAAAAAACg/tAO8Zbrsurk/s320/9918.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-9067304320617113275?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/9067304320617113275/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=9067304320617113275' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/9067304320617113275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/9067304320617113275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2008/06/june-24.html' title='June 24'/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SGGu_vzD0bI/AAAAAAAAACI/4AoIVSjwf6k/s72-c/IMG_9939.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-6461488285708169974</id><published>2008-06-23T19:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-15T01:30:06.684-08:00</updated><title type='text'>June 23</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Today we stayed up late to catch lightning bugs. Daddy and Emma put them in her bug catcher for a few minutes and then set them free. She had a lot of fun running around the yard in her pj's. Today was cross training day for the marathon and I broke my bike out of the garage for the first time in about 6 years. Last time I rode I had a bike wreck and Dave took it away from me. I rode it around for about 30 minutes and man is that a lot harder than I remember. When we were kids we rode all day and thought it was fun. Now it is a lot of hard work. I rode up the big hill at the end of the street and was huffing and puffing and my legs were on fire! Well tomorrow I rest and we run 3 miles again on Wed.

I took a bunch of pictures of the girls. They were all candids in my room, striped sheets, hawaiian pj's and all. But I love the light from my window in the morning and the expressions on their faces. So it was a successful photo a day, day. Yesterday I didn't take any pic's. I thought about it but couldn't decide what to shoot and ended up spending the evening in the pool with the girls and getting nothing done. Which is ok too. We had a blast. I also ran 3 miles. This weeks schedule was Wed- 3, Thur-3, Fri-3. I did 3 miles all three days but walked some on Wed, and Thur. Friday I ran the enitre 3 miles! Yea me! It is the farthest I have ever run. Which is funny since I am trying to get up to 26.2 miles. You would think I should have run in the past, but no. I just decided I wanted to run a marathon before I turn 30. KC marathon is Oct. 18 and I turn 30 in Nov. So it will be close! My goal now for the marathon is to run, walk only the aid stations and finish. I think that is pretty good. Kelly is training with me and she freaked when I told her that there is a 6 hour time limit. But that is a 14 minute pace and last night Dave and I ran a 13 minute pace, so... Today I have to work so it is a rest day from running, but I will be shooting at a wedding all day. So I will be using my camera but won't have anything to post, the images will belong to the studio I work for.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Oh yeah, I posted some of the images from Thur. on the first post and will put some more on here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8909681829897687150-4249288106902686008?l=raineys-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/4249288106902686008/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8909681829897687150&amp;postID=4249288106902686008' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/4249288106902686008'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8909681829897687150/posts/default/4249288106902686008'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raineys-blog.blogspot.com/2008/06/ok-thur.html' title=''/><author><name>rainey_87</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01471047241926180302</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IhFUb4Mfd5k/SoGowcZBwEI/AAAAAAAAAP0/XUA8c0R3-A0/S220/IMG_0513.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909681829897687150.post-5977070998662036628</id><published>2008-06-19T20:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-19T20:47:04.324-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The beginning'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;So I have decided to start this blog to keep everyone up with my marathon training and the family.  I am also going to do a photo a day to get my camera in my hands more.  So I will be posting those as I go as well.  I am sure most of them will be photos of the girls, but who knows, maybe I will branch out some.  I am trying to think of a photo project to start.
