Team Geo Tracks-- All Aboard!

May 13- I know I'm a few days behind!!
Bryce wanted a "Geo Tracks" birthday party, but I am just not a great planner at this point for some reason and I didn't plan anything. He wanted a Geo Tracks cake of Aero so I did my best and it actually turned out pretty cute!! We just had cousins over and they played and had cake and ice cream. It all went pretty well except the 3 boys (Nick 4, Bryce now 4, and Seth 3) all disappeared and were playing SOOOO nice in Bryce's room for about 30 min. It was all too good to be true however and we found his bed, dresser, and blinds all colored very nicely in pencil (luckily). It was pretty funny because it said N I C K all over, but Nick was pretty sure it was just Bryce and Seth that did it!!! Bryce was very excited he got "Grand Central Station" with Aero and Eric. Which he told us was "Just what he wanted!" I love that it is so easy to please a 4 year old! I can't believe my little boy is growing up so fast! He is so fun to have around, he says the funniest things and is always making me laugh! His latest thing is "What the heck!" followed by a little Bryce giggle. He is such a sweet boy who loves his brother but just has trouble showing it at times! I'm hoping that now that he is 4 we will be DONE with the HORRIBLE 3's!!! Yeah!!!

Super Fun "FUN RUN"

Those are some words I never thought would come out of my mouth! Yesterday was the annual Preston Hospital 5K Fun Run/"Walk" and Hayden and Jared were so excited that I kinda got roped into it too. It actually wasn't that bad, I can say that because I only WALKED it with Tara (my sister in law) and we were very proud that we were not last! Our time was 40 minutes which considering we DIDN'T run we were walking along at a pretty brisk pace. I am VERY proud of both HAYDEN and JARED however. It was Jared's first "offical" 5K and he ran it in 20 min 58 sec! WOW! I would have died!! (That is just under a 7 min/mile average.) Hayden and her cousin Connor did the 1 mile run. She is pretty fast herself (she must take after her Dad) She ran it in 8min 4 sec! I don't think I have ever run a mile that fast! She took 5 place of all the runners the sad part was that the first 3 people where all 3 girls in her age group of 7-12 and then her cousin Conner beat her by 2 seconds. She did feel a little better when I told her that she beat the 2 boys who got 2nd and 3rd and Jared also gave her his medal and that helped. Jared is going to have her out at the track before too long he thinks he has found a cheap way to pay for college (He-he-he!)
