Born 2 Run Challenge

Charlie 'competed' in the Lane Pregnancy Support Center

2nd Annual Born to Run Challenge on May 30th.

It was a 5K/15K Run/Walk.
I chose to run in the 15K (9.3 miles). I trained for about 1 month and was feeling very confident. I estimated that I would finish in 1 hr 45 min at the earliest, I beat that and finished at 1 hr 40 min.
However evidently there are a lot of serious runners out there, I finished 43rd out of 48.
That was a bit humbling to say the least, I'm confident I'll do better next time.

Even though I concentrated on trying to beat others & just doing my best, that wasn't the reason for the race.

This was a fundraising event to benefit the most innocent, unborn babies.
It was such an honor to be a part of something much bigger and have a great impact on the innocent, lost & hurting.

The estimated amount that this marathon raised for the center was around $7, 000. Awesome!!
Prayerfully it will go along way.

My cheering section.
Alexis, 6
Preston, 4
Carter, 2

Travis' brother, Sean & fiance Jill, took our kids 1st thing in the morning for breakfast and tons of outdoor fun.

Becky Hall's Wedding

Becky Hall got married to Tom Gregersen on May 23, 2009.

It was such a lovely, relaxed, and fun ceremony in Albany, OR.
From 1st date to Wedding date - 3 MONTHS!!!

They honeymooned somewhere on the coast, isn't that wonderful that as the daughter I still can't remember where despite being told many times.

Becky & Tom will be staying at Tom's house in Junction City until his exchange student has left, then they will move into Becky's house in Eugene while they figure out what their plans are. The have talked about many possibilities, no decisions made yet.

Becky has 2 kids + 6 grand kids, Tom has 3 kids + 4 grand kids.

They are going to be a very busy newlywed couple, and hopefully all of us will remember what being a newlywed is like.
I''ve already learned to cut them some slack, it's going to be a big change for everyone involved.

It is so nice to see my Mom being giddy, even though she's always happy this is very different.

They are always laughing and are always going somewhere. We're going to enjoy having Tom in our family, it will be exciting for sure.

Update you've been waiting for

Alexis can now blow bubbles with her gum, tie her shoes, whistle and now ride her bike w/o training wheels. The bike thing today was a bitter sweet moment for me, I actually got a little teary over the whole deal. My baby is not my baby anymore, I know she's 6 but she's a big girl now. This opens up a whole new range of possibilities for her, so much more independence and mainly confidence.

The sun was in Preston's eyes that why he looks so sinister. He does not care at all that he's riding a girls trike and I'm glad he doesn't because that's all he's getting for a while.

My favorite part about this picture of Carter is his cute little fingers. He went through a whole bottle of bubbles because he's just so good at not spilling.

Look at our cute 'little' family. This was taken at an Easter Egg Hunt in Eugene over Easter weekend. More candy for me....

The kids loved decorating their eggs, oh yeah I put them back in the fridge and there they remained. Oops.

This is what Carter did the whole time they decorated, isn't that nice?

Portland Zoo day

My Mom, Becky and her intended Tom Gregersen. So far the date is set for Sept 26th, we'll see if they last that long though. Maybe it'll just be for a reception and they go get hitched real quick like before.

Preston in the Spotlight

Preston's first trip to the Dentist.
He said he was going to be brave because they were going to poke him. They just cleaned his teeth & he did a great job.

Enjoying his time in the spotlight with no interruptions from his siblings. He's doing his thinking pose right now.
