Race Day

We ran our 2nd 10K relay yesterday. It was pretty fun.

I ran the 1st leg and finished with a time of 28:17. Carson ran the 2nd leg. His time was 31:28.

I think our next run is in about 1 month. It's going to be 4.2 miles. Let the training begin.

Cloth Diapers

(No, this isn't Cal. This baby is much too skinny.)

So, I have decided to try my way with cloth diapers. I'm not all crazy save the earth or anything. I just figure I could do my part to try and cut back on costs. I mean, every time Madi has an accident I'm pretty much cleaning a cloth diaper. I think for a little while I'll try to use them part-time, at least until I get the hang of it.
It was a little over whelming when I first starting looking online about cloth diapers. It was as if it was a whole new world. It's not just "disposable or cloth." There are tons of different kind of cloth diapers. So I decided to get a cloth diaper sampler and figure out what I like best. I also have been given a few patterns to make my own diapers. They don't look that hard. I'm really excited to try this & a little nervous, but mostly excited. They should arrive in 5-10 days . . . we'll see how it goes!

What's important to me...

It's funny whats important to a child . . .

. . . like picking dad's green tomatoes . . .

. . . and wearing sassy red boots . . .

. . . pants are optional.

5K

Carson and I ran our first 5K this morning! Actually, it was a 10K relay. Carson ran the first leg. His time was 30:28 min. I'm very proud of him! I ran the second leg. My time was 29:29.

We didn't place or anything like that, but we are super excited about our times, being that it was our first ran. The team that won ran it in 35 min. (CRAZY! that's 17min a peice)
We are running another one on March 13th. I can't wait!

The Love of My Life

(Snowboarding for my birthday 2006)

Carson is more perfect for me than I could have ever imagined! He is funny, smart, caring, and good looking.

(Halloween 2005)

We have been married for 5 years now (Dec. 30th) And we have had our share of rough times, but we have pulled through.

Carson has made me be a better person. Because of him I am more confident. He always makes me feel beautiful. He is patient with me as well. I love that we can talk about anything. Carson truely is my best friend.
I love him!

I'm a country boy . . .

Carson bought a roping dummy for Madi to play with, but Cal took to it faster than she did.
Those are genuine carharts. (Thanks to Grandma Jo). Every real country boy should have at least one pair.

Best Friends

Madi is loving having Cal around.She is a great big sister.

I can't imagine anything better than this.
