Look Mom No Shoes!

Imagine my surprise last weekend when Nick crossed the finish line....

in his socks! I had been snapping pictures and cheering him on the whole race and never noticed that for the first two miles he was running in one shoe...

and that for the last mile he ran only in socks....his time was still incredible...the blisters are still there...what a guy he is!

Farm Chicks Show Weekend!

I was not there…in Spokane…shopping…meeting wonderful people…trying to figure out how to get purchases back to So Cal… I was not at the Farm Chicks Show

This is where I was!

The Mission Viejo Relay for Life at Saddleback College. Over 1,000 people, over 100 Cancer Survivors, 24 hours of non-stop activity, over $160,000 raised for the American Cancer Society. I partnered with wonderful ladies; Pat, Kathy, Jill and her Girl Scout Troop to serve our Cancer Survivors a fabulous brunch. Until next year…
If that was not enough we then headed South Sunday morning to Camp Pendleton to watch our youngest (he’s almost 15) participate in the annual Mud Run. 6 miles, mud, swamps and lot’s of laughs! He ran with two of his cross country coaches and two Trabuco alumni in the 6 mile race. You need to meet your teammates prior to crossing the finish line and cross together. Out of all the teams Nick finished 3rd with two of his mates. His time was 47 minutes. They waited for the others to finish and then all crossed together. They are already planning for next year’s race. I hope that next year’s Farm Chick’s Show does not conflict with either of these events and if they don’t I’ll be in Spokane!

Our Champion!

We just returned home from our Seaview League Cross Country Championship and our little guy finished third for the freshman!! YEAH! He and his teammates made us proud tonight; the freshman boys came in 1st, 2nd, 3rd (Nick), 4th and so on. You guys rock! It was an awesome season and I am such a proud mom.

Here is neck/neck with his teammate "Toto". They all have nicknames and some of them are very funny! Nick's is "Big Black" ~ go figure!

Coming into the finish; his time was 17:16.

The boys! Nick is 2nd from the left. Congratulations Boys!
