Fall Fun!

A lot has happened since my last post so this might be long!

First off, in case you are not exactly sure where we moved to this might help:

Too funny!

Anna and Ben had their school pictures taken. Aren't they adorable!!!

I've been trying to find a good place to have Ben's hair cut since we moved here and I have had the hardest time! In Sacramento we had "Ms. Esmeralda" who Ben loved! The kids hair cut shops here have been messing up Ben's hair so I finally tried an old fashioned barber shop. Ben looked great after his hair cut but he was very upset that an old dude was cutting his hair! He was so sad =(.

Unfortunately I had to give that place the axe because Ben looked miserable. I asked my swanky hair salon if they could cut Ben's hair and to my surprise they would! Ben LOVED Ms. Lydia =)

He's laughing hysterically here!

Mr. Ben was all smiles the whole time and the price for his hair cut was the same as the old barber shop!



I ran in a half marathon last weekend with my wonderful running friends Kim, Susan and Cindy.  It was called the "Iron Horse Half Marathon" and it was hosted by the running store that I work at. It was absolutely beautiful. We ran on country roads through the rolling hills of horse farms. It was by far the most beautiful race I've ran. At mile 7 there was a "herd" of about 40 thoroughbreds on a farm that would run with us to the end of the fence and then synchronized they would all turn around and run in the other direction. I bet the horses are not used to watching 1200 people run down their country road. They wanted to show us how it's done!

Waiting for the race to start!

We ran on these country roads. It was very hilly!

Myself and Kim (my old neighbor)

Coming in to the finish line!

I finally received the images for the rest of the photos I chose from the photographer. I don't have the hard copies yet so these have his web site on the bottom. I must say that I got one heck of a deal but the con is that I don't have the hard digital copies yet! I was told they are "in the mail". Here are a few more:

He's so handsome!!! xoxo

She was having a great time! Anna is quite the ham!

Ben tells me he's a "big boy" but he sure looks like his mama's baby here =)

 I attended my first University of Kentucky tailgate and football game! It was chilly but it was fun.  I'm not sure what it is about the Wildcats but they are easy to love and root for. I am a Cal girl -- GO BEARS !!!!  But,  the Wildcats have grown on me =). Maybe the good Kentucky people have something to do with it?

Look at these pants .... those are little UK embellishments!

6 foot portable grill!

Getting set up for the fun

Great seats!

Here are a few more photos from last week:

Beautiful Anna!

On her way to her Girl Scout Halloween Party. Yes, Ben is wearing her black heels in the background. He was practicing his dancing =)

Kiddos playing outside

 

Mr. Stud Muffin. He wanted to wear some "jewelry" so he has a pendant of Saint Ann around his neck. He wanted to wear the same pendant to bed tonight! Maybe Saint Ann is his guardian Angel?

Anna "exercising" =)

Anna with her best friend Sofia. They were pretending to be puppies here.
