April Miscellonous

April 30th~

Molly

She thought this was just about the best thing ever

  

Molly refused to nap this day, but before we were out of the subdivision and on the way to the park this happened.  

This is the way she will ride in the car if she knows she wants to  nap

Mommy was naughty and let Molly sleep in bed with her while Daddy was out of town.

"Lilly let me pet her!"

Showing off mad skills

My princess who isn't afraid to get dirty

 

I love her expressions

  

Molly got tired of painting all the garden markers and painted her hands instead

Sam

  

Helping to water the flowers

 

Watching Morgan play softball

I love when school sends me pictures

I don't know why, but the dog bed is lots of fun.

  

Kids

That is Molly on the other side, Chris did not grow long hair!

When I saw this I said "Drake is in Heaven."  Molly immediately said "What?! Is Drake going to die?" It was so sweet

  

Park with Elliot

April 21st~

Amber and I took the kids to the park to play so her and I could visit before her baby girl arrives.
The girls had a good time running around and Molly was happy to show Elliot some bad habits!

Mile's 4th Birthday

April 17th~

Mile's had a Soccer Party at Sunset Park for his fourth birthday.

 

 

Our wagon was a big hit

Analiese and Andrea

It was a perfect way to tucker out Sam

Race to Robie Creek #8

April 16th~

This marked my 8th time running Robie Creek.

  

Sam was still napping so I missed out on my pre-race photo with him.

This was #10 for Kerry

Me, Jill, Katie
Our smallest group yet.  Zif also ran but somehow we never see her at the start.

The weather was much better this year.  At noon it was 65 degrees and I don't think it got too high into the 70s before I was done.  Anytime it got too warm out a nice little breeze would pick up so it was almost pleasant, almost.

With our crazy schedule as of late, I have not been able to get in as  much running as possible.  I figured this would either help or really hurt for Robie :)  Impressively, it seemed to help.  This is by the far the best I have ever felt on the course. 

It was my fastest summit time of 1:37:56.

The last mile was still the worst.  I have have decided I would rather summit Aldape Summit twice if it meant I did not have to run that last mile.  Even with hating that last mile I finished under 2:15...which is always a major goal of mine.  I have only made that goal one other time.  With how well I was feeling, I was a little surprised I did not finish sooner, but I am still very happy with my time of 2:14:41.  I missed my 2013 PR by 29 seconds.

This sums up how I feel at the end.

We did not hang out at the finish too long, but headed home to get ready for the Sloth After Party that we were hosting.

Renee, Me
Kristie also ran but was on call and took off right after she finished

At Lucky Peak to get the car
Jill and I showed up in the same shirt so we had to text Keziah that we were representing St. Croix!

Mile's relaxing
I wish we would have taken more pictures at the after party because everyone was having such a great time, but this is the only one I got.
