Final update on Cross Country

So Abigail finished up her Cross Country for the year, taking 11th in JV Girls District!!!! Out of 80 girls including some Varsity girls as well. We couldn't be more proud of her success. She is quite the little speed demon and we are looking forward to spring when she plans to do long distance track as well. Keep on running......

Preschool and the Pumpkin Patch

Picking the perfect pumpkin is very difficult, but Isabella seemed to be quite skilled at it for only being 3 years old. Way to go!!! She had a wonderful time with all of her new friends from preschool, Mom also made some new friends today.

Last weeks CC Meet

Isabella and Taylor(my niece) had a wonderful time playing together while Abigail was preparing for her race.

They spent their time tracing every line on the baseball field where we were.
Abigail and her teammate, posing nicely
A little nervous right before the start, but she relaxed and ran hard
Abigail did GREAT!! Took 2nd and as you can tell from the photo she was (not) happy about it. She ran hard and kicked it in the end but her teammate had a little more left at the end. Great Job Ab!!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Just a couple of my favorite photos from yesterdays trip!

Jack and the Atlas Stones...Pumpkins

Boys at Grandma's House

Jack and Brayden at Grandma's house last week during one of our lunch dates!

No idea what they were looking at but they were certainly interested.

Todays CC Meet.......Results

Abigail standing around waiting for her 5K to start, she looks nervous, doesn't she? Not at all!!
Flirting with Nathan!
Oh, I think they are finishing up!
Milling about at the starting line
" Just noticed that Mom is taking pictures, I had better smile this time"
Just finishing mile 1, taking the lead
This is mile 2, still in the lead and holding strong
Mile 3 and the finish line is in sight
Nearing the finish line, digging in and kicking hard
That's right my girl took 1st today with a PR time of 22:34!!!!!

Someone got a new iPhone

here are a couple of pictures from it, from today

Come one come all...EDITED

She is such a Rock Star! NOPE not running with Varsity this time! she has informed me that JV is just running late.

Place: Tualatin High School
Time: 6:00pm sharp

Please come and cheer her on! Meet starts at 4:30, but she doesn't run until 6, takes her about 23 minutes to run her 5K, so not a lot of cushion for tardiness.

At the finish line and beyond...

This is the beautiful view of the Willamette River that Abigail was running by this morning at Bryant Park in Albany

Here she comes down the shoot!!

Not a pretty picture but this is what you look like when you are 22 out of 190! She ran her PR today at 23:01, shaving 22 seconds off of her last race

I don't have time for you guys I have to go and do a cool down run, this is what my lovely child says when we come and watch and cheer her on....

Don't worry we had a nice long conversation when she came home tonight

All smiles and kisses now!

While Abigail was running her tail off we did this...

Jack and Isabella were both hamming it up this morning while waiting for Ab to run!!

Jack loved the flags, kept running back and forth and pulling on them. Almost clothes lining himself several times

My favorite Pic of my little girl!!!

Playing in the flags

Now I know it appears that he has fallen down and can't get up, however he is simply laying down in the wet, muddy grass!! Free will and being 15 months old will get this for you.

Ready, Set, Run a 5K...

Abigail and her teammates warming up before the BIG race today, JV CC had 190 runners competing today!

Pumped up after an inspirational team meeting...game face on!

Still waiting....warmed up and ready to go

Look at all of them, a trampling we will go

There they go!!!!
