Blake's Jog-a-Thon 2010

Blake's school had their annual Jog-a-thon the 1st week in October.
He said he was going to do better than last year & make it to 20 laps.
Well...let's just say he's an over achiever when he really wants to be.
He ran 35 laps!!!
He did so great & I'm glad I was able to be there :)
I wish they had a track program for kids in elementary school. I think it would be really good for him.
Grandpa Chuck was able to come too & I was able to see my friend Debie & her husband Mike.
It was a fun morning!!

Sonny's trip to the Firestation

Sonny's 1st field trip was in September & it was to a local Firestation!!!! Unfortunately I was not able to take him because I was working.
What??!! I was working....more on that later.
Luckily Grammy Sisa was available so she got to take him & take pictures too.
She said he was really good & had a really fun time.
I'm so glad she was able to take him. It's fun looking at the pictures & checking out his reactions.
There's a picture of him holding the firehose & it reminds me of when Blake went to the Firestation on a field trip & how I had to coax him up to hold the firehose. Two totally different kids!! After this trip to the Firestation Sonny said he wanted to be a Fireman when he grew up & I thought it would be fun for him to be one for Halloween. No such luck...he was adamant that he would be a Fireman when he grew up....NOT for Halloween. Crazy kid!!



Update....so I started working part time back in early September. I'm working at Macy's & I love it!! I was hired to help with Trim-a-Home (Christmas) & wherever else I was needed. I cannot say enough good things about Macy's. I swear it just totally fell into my lap (wink wink....I know Heavenly Father answers prayers) & I LOVE it!! Did I say that already??!! It's been great & totally fits into my schedule...I can work while the kids are in school & then get off in time to be a mom!! It's great!!
