Branson 2008

Emma picking veggies on the farm.

I don't know why some of my pic's aren't working. 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. We went to Branson this past week with my mom and Emma had a blast. Sammi is not a traveler. We had a good time anyways. Enjoy the pictures!

This is how Daddy and Emma were napping today. ARen't they cute! Today is my rest day so no running to report.

July 7

Sammi tried out her new shades, and I finally found the baby swimsuits! 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.

Marathon goal: run, walk the aid stations, run across the finish line in under the 6 hour time limit.

We had a really great afternoon out back on Sunday. We wore poor Sammi out. But Emma is the energizer bunny! We got in the pool, played on the swingset and did the slip and slide. Woo hoo!
