SuRpRiSe!!! Happy Birthday Mike!

10k in Cottonwood

We did it! We ran a 10k in 1hour and 2minutes! Not that great but we did it! Yes, we ran the whole time. Only sissies walk! :D just kiddding! We drove 2 hrs up to Cottonwood. It was really beautiful up there, perfect running weather!

There I am finishing the race with my race wave. It was so funny cause Mike and Max were waiting for me about 200 yards before the finish and when I reached them, I started to sprint. So Mike starts running along side me, pushing Max in his non-jogging stroller, trying to get a picture. People started cheering for Mike and Max and Mike was embarassed as he tried to explain the he wasn't racing. Too bad I was too fast and he couldn't get a good picture of my finish! ;p

Here comes Soin!

Yay Soin!

We did it!

Tired and sweaty. That's water on my shirt by the way...

I think one of my favorite parts about racing is all the cool stuff you get. This race was by far the best. There was a snow cone machine, pasta with meat sauce, cookies, granola bars, and of course the bananas, apples, and oranges. But a snow cone machine?! That's so awesome!!! Anyway, here's Mike and Max hanging out after the race. It was Mike's birthday, by the way. We a gorgeous birthday man!

There we all are.

We went to lunch and walked around the cute little town. Here's our precious boy.

Blog Break

I have been procrastinating blogging because I have so many new pictures and the thought of uploading all of them makes me tired.... :p

Anyway, it's time I catch up so here it goes.....

EASTER

For Easter, we all went to Rancho Mirage to spend it with Mom and Jeff. The weather was so nice, so I took a few pictures of Max with Tia Soin

...and Daddy.

Max liked Jeff's car.

Every year we decorate eggs with nail polish. They come out so much prettier!

Grandmother helped Max decorate his first egg.

Here are some of our masterpieces.

And of course Mike always makes the coolest one!

Max loved his Easter bucket from Grandmother. It had lots of goodies!

Max found an egg!
But the eggs were kind of slippery and he couldn't pick any up!
It made him really sad....
But my boy doesn't give up!

He did it!!!

mmm... yummy nail polish egg...Grandmother helped him find another one.

And another!

Then it was time for a family picture.

And another!

What a fun Easter.

Max's New Crib

Max has finally grown out of his bassinett, so Grandmother bought him a crib. It's perfect and he loves it. He sleeps really well in it because it gives him space to roll over and spread out. On our way to get the crib I was telling Mike that we need to get a bumper for it. When we got to the store he spotted those stuffed alligators and said, "hey we can use these for the bumper!" I thought about it for a few seconds and decided that it was a great idea since his room has somewhat of a jungle theme anyway. I think it looks really cute. What do you think?

Now we just have to do some rearranging so that everything fits and looks nice in his room. When we finally get a house I can really do some decorating!

Just another picture of our baby boy...
