New Moon...midnight showing...so fun!

Here is a picture that just captured some strange events going on!


WHAT THE.............!

Kassidy's pre-school graduation

Kassidy graduated from pre-school today! What a big day for her...not really, it's only pre-school for goodness sakes :) It was VERY cute though! I was talking to my mom the other day and she says, are you going to get her all dressed up in a graduation dress? because I think that is just way too much. I said, well of course not, I think that is lame...I totally should have just for that comment and then sent her pictures! The 2 feet graduates all marched in up to the stage and sang us some songs and then after we enjoyed socializing and eating, what a fun morning! I can't wait for her to go back next year, she had a good time and so did I :)

Random crap

She LOVES to do silly poses and faces.

At the state fair. Ryan Miller braving this ride. That's his arm sticking out.

At the fair again.

Kassidy riding the airplane.

Kassidy in a baby roller coaster that scared her and Sadie. Kassidy kept saying "can I get off this yet?" I felt bad but was laughing at the same time.

Doggy ears that they made at preschool. All the kids came out looking like this it was SO cute!

We had a garage sale last Sat. and I sent out Danny to get some cash/change on Friday night, I think around 10pm so of course the banks were closed. He was gone for a little while and when he came home he had a pack of gum, some gas in his car and 3 lottery tickets. Apparently he had to go to several different corners to get this cash and didn't want to look like an idiot buying gums so he came up with this plan. I was laughing. I hope we win, after all that. By the way I willl never do a garage sale again.

Kassidy thinking that Chandler has now turned into a Super Slueth!

I got my hair cut, this is doing nothing, I like it better when I straighten it. I've gotten half people not saying anything and the other half liking it so I'm assuming by not saying anything you have nothing nice to say, LOL.

Kassidy playing games on the computer.

A train in the mall?

Kassidy and I went to the mall yesterday to return something and we got a See's chocolate and were sitting on the couches eating when Kassidy said "I see a train, do you see the train?" I'm looking around and I don't see a train so I told her she was crazy. I said "do you see it now?" and she said no and then said "you wait, you'll see the train". So a few minutes later her eyes get big and she says " see there's the train" and I turn around and low and behold there is a train coming through the mall! She says "see I told you so" with a huge smile on her face! So we go running down the mall to find where we get on this train and as she's running she looks at me with her arms swinging big and says "we're running mommy, this is good excercise". Good girl, I am glad I'm teaching you something good! So I wasn't sure if it was a free ride or what so when we got there the sign said $3 dollars per person, not per ride, per person so yep we paid $6 to ride this little train. I just don't understand why if you have to accompany your children on rides or take them to places that obviously you can't leave them at and you are obviously not partaking in the activities because it's a kids place, do the parents have to pay...I think it's retarded and a rip off. She did have a good time though and the smile on her face and the fun she was having was worth it and I guess that's why they charge it because they know you will pay.

Kassidy says funny things

We attended a baptism last night and when it came time for the blessing all the men were in the circle and Kassidy whispers to me...

"mommy there's a baby in there" - pointing to the circle of men
me - "shhh, no there's not" - thinking, what the heck, why would she say that?
"mommy there's a baby in there" - getting a little bit louder
"me - shhhhhhhhh, no there's not" - wanting her to be quiet but now I just figured out why she was saying that
"mommy there's a baby in there"
me - "no there's not, you'll see"

She thought it was a baby blessing because that's all she's ever seen. So after the blessing they all backed up and I said...

"see there's no baby, it's a man"

hmmmm, I wonder if she thought the baby turned into a man!

What do 15 women do for fun?

Alrighty, where do I start?

I guess it starts with a friend who wanted to do a 10K up in Pinetop AZ where she is from and got a whole bunch of friends to join her. I was one of them. Mind you the first run I ever did was a 4.2 Pat Tilman run back in April. So of course I wanted to take on the challenge and was excited. We all headed up on Fri. afternoon to her house that they still have there. It's a small mountain town where there are no malls or anything like that and so she was excited for all of her friends to come and see what her life used to be like before she moved to the big "city" of Chandler. We slept all over the place in beds, cots and air mattresses, didn't get much sleep, and woke up at 6:15 Sat. morning and headed to the starting line.

Tiffany was explaining the course to us and every time she would talk about it, it got worse so I really wasn't sure if she was lying so when we got there it would seem easy or that what she was saying was really true and this was gonna be hard! We started off and went up a hill, only a little hill, but our hearts felt like they were coming out of our chest. Seriously, the altitude was a killer! K, so the run was so hard, Tiffany was right, there were hills! Not HILL, HILLSSSSSS. I so wish I could have taken pictures of them! By about mile 4.5 my right leg muscle in the back of my knee was killing me and I finally had to walk. I was so bummed I wanted to cry! It was a nice excuse though to power walk up those huge hills. So for the next couple miles I would run, walk, run, walk. I made it to the finish in 1 hour and 15 minutes and ran through flats, hills, a dead skunk, car exhaust, pretty scenery and watching everyone's backsides wishing someone was watching mine! Well, technically I wasn't the last person but when there is only like 50 of you running that doesn't leave a lot of room to be closer to the front unless I could have ran the whole thing. Maybe next year.

After the run we all went to breakfast and had the most delicious food. It was so good some of us couldn't get enough, LOL.

I want to do it again, I accomplished something I never thought I would and if it wasn't for my stupid leg I would hope to think I would have ran the whole thing and not stopped to walk. Thank you Tiffany for letting us use your house and getting us all together for some fun!

P.S. On a side note, I went to step class this morning and was commenting to my friend "man this is easy compared to what I just did"! I kept thinking to myself if I can do a 6.2 mile run up and down hills in high altitude, I surely can do a step class!
