Here we come Boston Marathon!!

This weekend was the Defender Classic 5K Race at Bryan Station High School. It is a great fundraiser for Shaun's band. Shaun, Harrison and Samuel participate every year. They get really excited about it every year. Last night after swimming lessons, Samuel came in and told me that they were eating carbs to prepare for the race today. Both boys are in the 9 and under age category. Typically Harrison comes in first place (every year except one when he was maybe 4 or 5 and a 9 year old beat him). Samuel is typically 2nd or 3rd place depending on how many kids are entered in that age range. This year was no different. Harrison was 1st place with a time of 27 minutes and Samuel was 2nd place with a time of 37 minutes. Check out some pictures of my little runners.

Here is Harrison at the start of the race. Look at that smile!

Spring Break is BEST

I will sure miss this week after it is gone. It has been so nice to slow down and just relax for a change. Spring break always seems so full of possibilities at the beginning of the week but around Thursday I start asking myself, "Where did the time go"? We didn't go anywhere for the week as a family. It is just too hectic and we are taking a trip mid-June to Pennsylvania and hopefully to Niagara Falls so decided to save out pennies for that trip. The boys and I did go back home and spend one night with mom and dad. That was nice. My old friend Shannon came up and we looked through old pictures and laughed and laughed. The boys were sooo funny with their reactions to the pictures and hair styles. Harrison just tells it like it is while Samuel just laughs hysterically. We have 2 more days before going back to the daily hustle and bustle of work, school and homework for the boys. The good news is that the boys will be doing swimming every Friday so that will be something to look forward to each week. Only 8 more weeks of school left this school year. I think I can.... I think I can.... I think I can....
