August events

Josiah's Birthday Party - Check  Had lots of friends and family come and party.  Even without Apples to Apples we had fun.  

Josiah loved eating cake and all the kids loved his new toys.  We got little people toys and trucks, more cars and trucks, some clothes including a Reds outfit and Krusling made PJs (Hooray for both!), and a puppy toy that sings and  talks.  There were more toys too, but they aren't visible in the living room at the moment so I can't recall them.  Our house is getting neat and organized... I'll be glad to have visitors now!  

 We made foam mask ,'o)

Run 5k - Check.  My time wasn't amazing, but that is what happens when you don't give it your all.  Ben ran it also but didn't train and I think that had something to do with not having a good time.  

Visit Betsy (Elizabeth) - Check!  Had a blast with her and the kids and some friends that live there in Kansas.  10 hour drives are now not so overwhelming.  Cruise control would have been nice.  I drove 10 hours west in 9 hours... maybe cruise control would have helped me not to speed so much.  

Visit my Dad - SOON!  For those of you who don't know, he had a massive heart attack this past month and I want to make sure I don't keep putting off going out to visit him.  I have just been reminded how short life can be.  

June and July

Sister Married- Check










Preperation for Castle Chase 5k - Check

Lake trip - Check
     The Lake trip was so much fun!  Actually it was too much fun because I went tubing (where a speed boat drags you behind over wake waves) one to many times.  3 or 4 consecutive days of hanging on for dear life sent my shoulder and neck muscles into some serious spasms.  After 3 days of nearly continuos pain I went to the dr and was given steroids and muscle relaxers after he determined I hadn't broken anything.   They worked great but now I'm in withdraw.  Either that or I took a little too much advantage that I was on them

Ashlyn visit - Check


Train for 5k -   Progress
     I ran at least 10 times while Ashlyn was here and she even managed half mile runs a few times and walked/ran (but mostly walked) 3 miles.

Ashlyn Birthday - Check.   

  












  We went to the zoo with the Dostals and had a blast!  We made her a cake and bought her a bible and some clothes.
