Weekend Review

My weekend was super busy, here it is in condensed form.

  • Go get Bountiful Basket, stop along the way for a 5.8 mile run.  I was going to do an even 6 but had gut issues again.  What is up with that?!
  • Get home, frost birthday cake for Little Cowboy, wrap presents, make chip dip, shower, get kids ready.
  • Get the news my sister and her kids are going to be flying out of Tunisia and into Germany sometime on Sunday. 
  • Cry because I am so relieved they are getting out of there.
  • Set up for multi-cousin birthday party at my Mom's house.
  • Have party.
  • Go home have birthday BBQ for my husband with his parents.
Cade wanted a rodeo cake.
Hard to believe he is 6, or will officially be on Thursday.  Cousin Chase is four and cousin Carter 7.

Sunday
  • 15 mile bike ride, be sad I am not doing the half marathon half an hour from my house. 
  • Clean house (again, does it ever end)
  • Organize pantry (kids are so messy)
  • do a Bodyrock workout
  • Find out sister and kids will hopefully be here Monday night.  :)
  • Have the neighbors over for supper.

 How was your weekend?
Any races? 

A shout out to Julia at Pain, Pride and Perseverance on her first 50 miler!

  2. Busy weekend! That's great news about your sister- so scary and nerve-wracking to have loved ones in possible danger with no way of helping.
    I love the cake- what a great mom you are!

  8. Really happy your sister and her family are getting out and will be safe.

    I love the rodeo cake :)

    You will be back up and running in no time. I know its hard to sit out the races you should be running, but its for the better. This year has been full of heartache like that for me- especially the start of the year when I hurt my hip flexor and couldnt run for 3 months. It's been moderation ever since. But I am really happy I took the time to heal properly so this marathon could be a success.

    Thank you for the shout out :)

  15. Did you say supper!?!? I love it! My grandmother says supper! I want to come over to your house for supper. Not dinner, mind you. It sounds like a fun, family and friend filled weekend, which are the best, even if you end them wishing for a vacation!
