Third birthday!!!

for what ever reason I can't seem to logg on my computer..but at my friend house i can...so a quick up date. The little man has turned three!!!AHAHA where has the time gone. We had a great time. Because it was raining ( we have never had that before) we had to have two partys. One for friends and one for family. Lots of fun at both.

still having trouble loging in

Well I have not updated in a while and it has nothing to do with Facebook!! Life is crazy busy. I am working three and a half days a week and the rest of the time is filled in with friends,family and trying to run/and or swim. We did a few things this summer... worked for a week at Camp Imadean. Loved it!! Then the day we left camp when to Nan. to see Nicole, Kristy and Ang Collins. A little reunion and I locked my keys in the Car with the little man inside who was just walking up from a nap( so at his most understanding time of the day...noo) Kristy pulled a "Mcgiver" and got them out. I think she has done it before!!! and we have been to Powell River to visit a few people but that was about it.

So Out Fall routine has started..the little one has started Pre school. He loves it!! Mom has found it a little hard but he loves it. On the 24th of this month he will turn Three..such a little man. And talks like a four year old or so I have been told. Strangers think he is a lot older than he is because of his speech. But Look who is Mother is..I am never at a lost for words.

Well I know this is a short entry but I have to go and get some sleep

Well I got signed in the first time but..I have nothing to write about. Running is good, summer has been alright given the weather. We have been to the beach a few times with Aunty Amy. Here are some great photos. So I hope I will be able to update more soon.

Blog problems

I would update this more but I having a very hard time logging in. I have to go to some one else blog and make a comment them I can get in to mine. But I am in now.

So I went to Camp Imadean for the first time this year. It was July 14-21. the week it rained!! But that was OK. I had a tone of fun...I was a teacher and this was my class, 24 great girls. The camp was intermediate girls. So 9,10,11 year old girls. And if any of you girls are see this know that I miss you!! Well I should get on with my day.

I did It. I finshed my first Triathon We had so much fun!! We left victoria about 12:30 Sat. got as far as mill bay before we stopped for lunch..Subway. Then drove up to Qualicum and the ravensong rec center. What a great center..very nice pool. We got our shirts and numbers 188 and went to bike check. And I found out that my handle bars we totaly loose. So had to get them fixed. Then it stared to rain...we were going to go for a bike ride, but none of use were keen to ride in the rain. So we went to the hotel and checked in. Nice room but weird. It was the managers suite but had been chenged to a room. The front door was in the laundry room and then there were all these doors that were locked and then 29 stairs in a sprial style stair case to the kitchen. But it was only 90.00 for the three of us so about 30 each. then we went back to the rec center and it cleared up so we walked the trail that was the run.

YAAA HOOO

We got a call today saying that we made it in to the race!!! So training is really back on!! I had a little bit of a slack week...well three days in a row!! I even had chips. So we went for a ride tonight and I will swim and maybe run tomorrow.

And this is how I will feel after!!!

We went out to a movie and the babysitter said that he was really good and went to bed no problem. When we came home he must of heard us and woke up so we brought him out and like two min later this is how he was!!! SO CUTE!

AHHHH

Well people I have three weeks until I might be doing the tri...ya you read that right...might. We have hit a little snag. We Janet, Julie and I sent our paper work in almost two months ago. about 6 weeks ago I said to the ladies that I didn't see our names on the confirmed lists. So Janet said she would send an e-mail to see why. Well the next morning she sent a note out and then took her daughter to school. On the way back see picked up her mail and then sat down at the computer and saw a note back saying that She ( the lady who is in charge of registration) had not seen ANYTHING from us!!! Then Janet looked at her mail and saw our envelope. Not enough postage!!! So Janet called the lady told her that story about the postage and about how it is my first tri and was there any thing we could do. Well we are on the wait list....#2,3 and 4. The lady is number two!!! She also said that in the 12 years that she had been doing this every one on the wait list has gotten in!!! So the race is three weeks away and we still have not heard. We are hoping to hear this week. If not there is another one July 15 but is is longer and harder and STARTS AT 6:30AM!!!! So pray please...I have worked so hard and really want to do this. Thanks Dayna

A great week

Well we have had a great week. First the Victoria Day Parade. It was nice and Sunny but very long. The little one did really well and even "joined in" a few times. Meaning that he ran out in to the middle of band and groups. One Pom Pom girl saved him..He ran out and would not come back and the band keep marching , He was on one side and I was on the other, but I wasn't going to run in to the middle of the band so a Girl just add a few steps to her dance and picked him up and gave him to me. The crowd loved it!!! So that means He loved it...He is MY child after all. Any thing for a crowds reaction.

Then the big man took an extra day off so we went to the Park and Petting Zoo, little guy didn't really like the goats but loved the peacocks (lots of displays and fights) and pig. And then we went to the dog Park and had a good run around. So all and all a good Week.

I even got all my training in, two more days of work and then I get a rest day!!! Lots of Running and biking and two days of swimming. Every muscle is feeling it. Well I am off to bed to get some much needed sleep.

The down side of a Dog

Well it has been a LONG week. At the start of the week the little one was getting up a 6 am. Now for a lot of you this is the norm but for this house it is not. We are 8 to 9 people..He doesn't go to sleep until 9pm and not really having naps much anymore. So Mommy was tired and so was he so I was a little slow on why he was waking up...too much light in his room.we have a dark shade in his room but the edges are not all the way to the edge of the windows so up went Black bags on his window looks like crap but much better today it was 8:30 before he got up!!! Bags went up Wed night. OK so Wed was a killer day. Monday night when I was putting Tia The dog to bed i notice that there was a sticky spot on her hip. I thought it was Yogurt ..the kid had tossed it earlier in the day so I thought that it had landed on Tia. So in the morning Tia had started to chew it so I took a cloth and sort of wiped it off, then went to work. By Wed morning that spot on her was raw so before I left for work I gave her a bath and noticed that the sticky spot was not coming off. So I sent little man to Nana's and went to work( He is still getting up a 6 at this point) when I got to work I started to worrying about her so I called the Vet and they were really worried ,on my lunch I took her to the vet with the thought that it would be about $90.00. went back to work and after work I went and picked up the kid and went to get the dog . 1.5 hours and $250.0 it was a hot spot?? What the heck is that!! I guess there was a bug bite so some itchy spot that got infected!!! so drugs twice a day and a bath every three days for two weeks...like I don't have enough to do. Here are some pictures of outfits to stop Tia chewing her butt.

Well I figured out what was wrong...no I am not having a baby. I know That is the news most of you wanted but it was just the flu or some sort of it. But I am back on the mend. So I went for a run today just 2 k or 3k but it only took me 10 min last year when I did it it took me one way 7 min. So I have gotten way faster.

So glad the sun is back out. I think I even got a bit of a tan. And My little one loves being outside. we went to three different parks today one with Grandpa J, then Auntie Maria then our friends Janet,Rachael and Josh. This picture is from a few weeks ago but I really like it. Josh and my little Oak (Mr Oak doesn't want me to say their names) really like to play to together. Well that's it for day. Hope you all have a great day.

Well training is going well...I must need more of something...sleep..food, antioxengents??? I don't know. All I know is this week I am TIRED!!!! I came home from work early today so that I could get some sleep before I picked up my son from the babysitter. And I am ready to go back to bed now. It could just be some sickness. Any how this blog entry is really lame!!! sorry!!! Well goodnight to you all.

Say no to crack

These pictures just made me laugh. The elastic on his pants had come undone but he would not stop playing long enough for me to fix it. What a cute little bum!!!

I am alive!!!

Well I am alive...The week was hard. Monday I swam really well, 400m in 11 min. Not world class but a really great time for me I would like to get it down to 10. Then Tuesday Jenn was not able to go out so Randy and I have decide that Tue and Fridays are his days to work out. Wed I ran with Maria and Val at 6:00 and then At 9:00 Jan and I went swimming. I got a a leg cram at about 350 m but I swam until I got to 450m so Jan swam until 700m and I sat in the hot tub!!! Thursday Val and Julie Ran I and I tried to ride the bike...not bad I worked on stopping, gearing up and down and turns. In case I haven't said this I have not really rode a bike since I got my drivers licence at 16. Than Today Val, myself and the boy went and watched Glenn do his first Tri of the year. Wow He is great.. And Gave me some great tips. Then Val and I did a 12 k bike my bottom is numb!!! but I did it in about 40 min.. I will work on that time. So now we start all over again this week. And I feel really good tired but good. so now I am going to bed. If any one wants to join me just give me a call.

Pray for me this week
