cowtown 2009

my firstborn and i ran the cowtown 5K today. she did such a great job. we ran almost the whole time. we weren't speedy (34 min), but it was her best time yet! i am so proud of her. by the way...it was freezing and terribly windy. she was such a trooper. afterwards, colin and i decided to rip up our wood floors (because they were buckling). much to our dismay, this is what we found...

happy birthday reese!

my sweet baby girl turned 7 yesterday. she had a lego party and invited a few of her good buddies from church and school. it was such a fun party! we went to castle park (quite cold and windy), played on the trampoline, made lego creations and played lego games. reese is such a cool kid. i love that she doesn't have to have a princess party just because all the other girls do. she is a smart, independent, funny and beautiful young girl. i love reese and am so thankful she is my daughter!

colin made the coolest and yummiest cake ever!

oma, aunt candy and uncle-licious were all sweet to come.

on another note...happy birthday to my newest nephew colton (born today)!

we had tag team wrestling on the trampoline

and in other news...buster was fixed!

it was fun while it lasted!

we had a snow day yesterday! it was cold and icy all over the neighborhood. mid-morning some of our friends called us to go sledding down their street. we couldn't refuse...but i guess we should have. both of my girls had to go to the doctor today with strep throat!

jack-man was sick with bronchitis, so he watched the girls play from inside
