Santa Run 2009

Over Thanksgiving I planned to do my 1st 5K. Probley the best part of the whole thing was that my brother was gonna be visiting and wanted to do it with me. He ran the whole thing with me..even stayed by my side when I had to stop. We finished in at 30 minutes and 6 seconds!!! Not to shabby for my 1st 5k if I may say :) It was so much fun and so rewarding. Thank you everyone who was there to root us on!!

They had milk and cookie stops..of course Derrick is eating a cookie in this pic! LOL

Playing in the nose (or snow)

Nelle's word for snow is nose..hince the title to to this post. The other night we got quite a bit snow so we bundled Nelle up in her winter clothes and let her run and play outside. She loved it!!

Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween I decided to have all of us dress up with a greek theme. I was a greek goddess, Jake was Hercules and Nelle was our greek princess. Mimi Eldredge and I made her costume and it turned out perfect, she looked so cute! We went out trick or treating at 7 around our neighborhood. Nelle didn't quite understand until after we had hit a few houses but then it was like she was a pro. She knew to walk up to every door and knock then grab a piece of candy out of the bowl and put it in her bag. She is a little hustler tho. At some houses the people would drop a piece in her bag then she would reach up and take another one. She came home with enough candy to keep her on a sugar high for a year!

GRRRRR
