Valentine's Day

Good Early Morning to everyone,

Well I completed my first race on Sunday since Olivia Kate was born a year ago! And, surprisingly it went very well for it being zero degrees and windy when we began, as well as quite slippery and snow covered in most areas! I ended up placing 4th in my age division at 1:45:00 so i was very happy with that. And overall I was 40th out of 190 people that finished!!!!
I was not sure I was going to run it because that morning it was so cold out...I told scott multiple times that I could just go to the gym and come back home instead! But I am really happy that I went out and actually did it!

Other than that we really have not done too much lately.

Last Friday the kids and I went out to eat with Kari and Benjamin for Karis Birthday and went and did a little shopping at the MOA. Henry also went on his first ride while we were there (thanks so much Kari for letting me go on the ride with him!) and to my surprise Henry LOVED it! It was a little roller coaster and he put his hands up and everything! It was so cute! Now I cannot wait to take him back again for some more rides! And I got to go to my beloved store ATL! Amen! I miss that store so much in rochester, although, scott has noticed that it has helped our checkbook just a bit! I wish I had my camera while we were out to eat, I felt so bad, but Olivia made such a mess! Oh my goodness, I felt so terrible! It was truly everywhere under her chair/table area! Henry was a good boy while we were shopping! a typical two-year-old who wanted to hide under the clothing racks in stores, run away from us! but overall a very good boy! and he was also so excited because he got to see airplanes on our way home! it was the prefect time of evening, because there were at least ten planes waiting to land that were just hovering in the sky and he loved it!

Olivia did get her 1 year photos done the other day by a lady in Stewartville, she was so sweet and did just a great job despite Olivias temperment that day! she wanted nothing to do with pictures that day! I think I will need to bring Henry along from now on so that she has someone to play with while we are there! if you wish to view the photos you can go to http://www.peapodphotographybytina.com/

There are only 18 photos, which i thought I might be sad that there were only 18, but in honesty, it is so awesome! I love all 18 photos, they are so sweet, innocent and precious and I can actually choose relatively easily which ones I want enlarged and on my wall!

This week we have school again on thursday and then we start swimming lessons with both kids on thursday evenings, so i will have to take some photos! I hope that all goes well and that they both love it! and on saturday I have not decided for sure since both kids kind of have a cold but I might take henry tubing at the ironwood spring ranch in the evening and olivia might go to wrestling with dad! I am just not sure how much henry would really like it, or if he will just be scared!

well, i gotta get back to work!

have a great week, katie
