Mud Run! {PICTURES}

Sunday (March 20th, 2011) was the Mud Run at Church! 

My friend Mendy and I Volunteered for the morning, we help set up.  Then for the afternoon we DID the Mini Mud Run with our kids.  SUPER fun!

 

Me and the kids running to the mud!!!  On the left we also picked up a stray....  lol!  Her mom couldn't run with her cause she has a baby so she joined up with us.  Don't mind my "BRIDE" pants from my wedding day!  lol!  They're comfy and I used them for all my dirty home projects.

 

Yes, that's me going down the hill on my bottom!  Wow, after about 5 times of that I must say, this morning my butt is all scratched, red and sore.  Those little pebbles... OUCH!

I LOVE that boy.  He was so excited and just had an absolute BLAST!

Obviously this was towards the beginning so we weren't super dirty yet

Into the tunnels

Lucky my little man can easily walk through instead of SWIM on my knees like I had too!  lol

crazy!  

SO glad I got to be a part of this!  They do it twice a year at our church.  Last time was October and I didn't do it cause I had no idea how it was going to be.  Of course this time I knew I had to go with them.  Last time our friends ran with the kids.  It was definitely a WORK OUT!  lol!  But well worth it.  

I have more pictures but I'll save those for later cause I have to get them off my phone :D

another one bites the dust.

You know what greats REALLY old when you're trying to get pregnant? 

Other people announcing THEY are pregnant.

Ugh.  Yup, I swear every day either one of my friends has a baby or announces their pregnant.  Ok, ok... maybe not EVERY day but probably almost one a week. 

I dealt with not being able to get pregnant for two and a half years....  YEARS!  Then I gave up and fostered a sweet baby girl, Renee.  Renee left us after 2.5 months and I got through that.  Then we got Aiden and of course the month we got Aiden, I became pregnant with Nolyn.  But now, it's been 8 months since my IUD has been out and.... Nothing.

I know it my head it's Gods way of saying it's just not the right time.  I still have a TON of thing to finish in the house for my day care inspection which I know I shouldn't do while pregnant (lots of chemicals and dirt and just nastyness)... but no matter how much you KNOW it's not the right time, doesn't make me want it any less. 

But I guess I should just be happy that I do have two amazing, healthy, growing boys in my life right NOW and hopefully eventually we'll get to add to that.  I would LOVE to foster a girl but I'd have to talk my husband into that.  He really wants to have a child together first.  Which I completely understand. 

But AHHHHH!  Hopefully all the positive pregnancy test pictures, baby showers and new births slow down a bit! 

I officially declare today....

A POOL DAY!

Maybe I'll try and bust out my camera and get some new shots of the boys.  Every few months I try to do a photo shoot and get some new pictures of them to hang on the wall, but now that I'm jobless I'd like to build my skills a little more and start using my camera on a daily basis.

I'm so glad we have a pool.  Even though that too needs to be updated cause pink tile isn't really "in" these days.  And during the summer our electric bill goes through the roof.  But, our Air Conditioner is broken and our Landlord (a.k.a. my dad, has yet to fix it) so I guess if we just don't use the Air conditioner and hang out in the pool it'll be less expensive anyway.

I'm a little nervous cause SDG&E is installing "smart meters" in everyones houses in San Diego now and on the news a lot of peoples bills have gone up.  Luckily most of the people have issues with their gas portion of the bill being higher and we are rural so we have propane so hopefully we won't have an issue.  It might help us cause some months we use like nothing and our bill will be insane because they estimate it instead of reading our meter.  With the "smart" meter they won't have to come out to read them anymore.  I won't how many meter reader people will lose jobs with no more meter reading???

So anyway, yay for sunny san diego days!  All week it was cloudy so it'll be nice to jump in the pool again!  And I semi-taught Nolyn how to swim so he's so excited to get in the water again.  Aiden on the other hand got too excited with his life jacket off when Nolyn was swimming and his head went under and now he's so scared to even try.  time like that when I wish they would LISTEN to my rules... like "ONLY ONE PERSON OFF THE STAIRS WITHOUT A LIFEJACKET!" cause it's hard to rescue two boys at once!
