A GOOD DAY FOR WORM PICKING!!

When the rain comes nothing stops our Kenzie from worm hunting!! How she can pick up those disgusting things is beyond me!!!

She insists that these worms will stay alive until daddy comes home to take her fishing!!!

THE BEDROOM DISASTER!!! A MILD CASE OF HOARDING!!!

This picture should actually be on the bottom. As you can see Kenzie is having a nice peaceful sleep in her CLEAN bed.

This is what it looked like before!!! She was having some separation anxiety from ALL her possesions and insisted that they sleep with her. I know it was my fault seeing as we will be moving in the fall and I'm sure she thought all her things were going to stay with the house. Poor thing!!

Most nights she slept with me because she couldn't even get into her bed. The other morning she woke up and found me in the kitchen and said to me "mom, I want to clean my room will you help me"? We spent 2 hours that morning cleaning and organizing her room! Mom's prayers really do work!!!

FLAMES FAN OR JERSEY DAY AT SCHOOL?

Kenzie had jersey day at school not to long ago. She looks more like a hockey player than she does a fan!!

KENZIE'S 4TH BIRTHDAY

I'm always game for a birthday bash!!! This year Kenzie had a Hawaiian Dance party and it was a hoot!! The girls all showed up in the flowers we made for them with their invitations and they all dressed up in cute flowery dresses and outfits.

My friend Stephanie played What Time is it Mister Wolf with the kids. You needed ear plugs from all the squeals of terrified little girls!

Opening presents.

I can't believe she's 4!!!

Valentine's Day Run

Im currently enrolled in a 10 mile running clinic at The Running Room. We do our "Long-Slow-Distance" run on Sundays and since that it occurs on Valentines Day this year, they had an interesting idea: all persons that were able to show up for the run this day were asked to "wear red if they were taken and in a relationship" or "wear pink if you were looking and available".

Since I dont own too many red clothing items, my "crafty" wife Karla, decorated one of my toques for me! It was a great day for a 10k, and I swear that Im sure the hearts on my hat made me run faster :)

MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS PICS!!!

RESOLUTION RUN 5K 2009

With a temperature of -20....with the wind chill it felt like -35, what a great night to go for a 5km run! Since I began the exciting sport of running, earlier this year, I thought it would be a great idea to sign up for my first organized running event. The event is held on New Year's eve at 6pm for The Running Room.

With all the layering I had to do, I ended up looking a cross between Spiderman and a Stalker

This year, there was a complete registration of 210 participants for the event. It was stressed that this wasn't a serious competitive running event, but a fun event enjoyed by running enthusiasts of all types

I had a lot of fun running in this event. I started at the rear of the pack for the beginning of the race and finished somewhere in the top 1/4 of participants. My time was 32.20 which I definitely could have improved upon, with a more structured start and better trail conditions.
