15K

Jackson, Jeff, Amy and I went and ran the Tulsa Run this past weekend. It was perfect weather to start out until the sun was beating on you. Prefer 40's and overcast however 50's and a little sun wasn't so bad. Here we are before the race.

I was feeling extra spectacular for this race, thank you God! And ran it in 1 hr and 34 min at a 10:09 pace. The good ole garmin watch said we ended up running 9.4 miles instead of the 9.3 and my time with the extra 10th was 10:02 pace. Taking that one since I'm not thinking the satelites are wrong :). Amy did so excellent for her first race past a 5K with 1 hr 44 min at an 11:13 pace. I'm so proud of her, that was awesome for the first long race!!! Jackson finished in 1 hr and 32 min and Jeff in 1 hr 30 min. We all had good runs and hope to run it again next year!!

1st tooth

Sunday morning when we woke up Stockton came up to us and told us he had lost his first tooth. He showed me the night before that it was loose but it didn't look to me like it was that loose. Well apparently it was and he pulled it out himself and already had it in a baggy and everything. So funny.

Pumpkin Carving

This is the 2nd annual pumpkin carving with the Lee's and the Jenkin's...sounds so formal..HA.

The boys love this and Joanna and I totally agree that we are glad it's just once a year.

After everyone finally decided which design they wanted off to work we go. The inside of my pumpkin was soooo full!

It seemed like it took me 1/2 an hour to clean it out. Joanna's was small and it took her just as long because of the itty bit hole she cut in the top...:)

Tanner sure was having fun even though his hands weren't diggin out the insides of a pumpkin, he probably would have had fun with that too. It took the boys longer than the rest of us so their pumpkins actually didn't get done but they did get their designs poked out.

Well I'm not sure of what else to say about the pumpkin carving...so I'll leave you with the finished projects. From left to right is Joanna's, Tyler's, Jackson's and mine.

Arkalalah 2009

This year we went to Arkalalah on Wednesday for the night parade. It wasn't the best parade, that will be why you see no pictures of it.

We started off the night with the infamous bierocks...there IS a picture of that!

I know...so good! I had 1 1/2 that night and 2 more on Saturday, yep they are that good.

Jami and I always have so much fun together and this year we made plans to do Arkalalah together. We both were raised going to the event so it's no wonder we both love to go every year so much.

Here we are and no we did not plan to dress alike. Stuff like that happens all the time with us.

The kids sure had a good time between eating cheesecake on a stick...

to riding rides and, we're not talkin any sissy rides for my boys.

To just hangin out with their good friend Hali.

We always have a good time with Jami and Hali!!! Can't wait to do it again next year!!

Kali is so not impressed...can you tell? Here she is telling Tank who's boss.

And then Tank telling Kali, he isn't listening..

They are getting along alot better now that we are on day 3. Kali still thinks she's boss, when he out weighs her by 20 or 30 lbs well see what she thinks then. Posting more adorable and funny pics of them.

Is this not the cutest picture ever!! So adorable...and then Stockton decided to take a picture....

Nough said.

It's been awhile...

Well I know I've been a blog slacker so I thought I would write about our newest addition, or soon to be newest addition. Tank!

Yep he's the one with his tongue sticking out....so funny! He comes home tomorrow morning. He's 13 weeks and in this picture he had just gotten the stitches taken out of his ears.

We've had Kali for 2 months now and she has literally doubled in size. She weighs 44 lbs now and is just a great dog. The puppies I have been around in the past, well she is nothing like a regular puppy. We go on a walk and she is so alert at what is going on around us, and at 5 months! She is amazing! I hope she likes Tank...we will soon see. Here is a recent picture of Kali.
