Thanksgiving Vacation 2012

8 days of heaven for my boys

I think the pictures speak for themselves...it is beautiful here. The boys are in their element and so are Chris and I. When he finishes school, I think we will apply to every city that has mountains. We spent our first day about an hour from Mountain Home in Ponca. I am still amazed by how far the boys can hike...my it band was not so happy but it will have to corporate this week!

RAGNAR RELAY 2012

Chris and I just finished running the Ragnar Relay. 

(with a bunch of other crazies and a great van driver...thank you Wilson)

We ran with 10 other friends from Chattanooga to Nashville.

196.3 miles

2-15 passenger vans, lots of GU, lots of stinky clothes

no showers, no sleep for 30 hours

Everyone ran 3 legs.

This was the 1st exchange for Van 7...it was leg 7.

Some legs were in the middle of the night!

This is the part of the race where I heard team members saying "why did we do this again?"

This was our Van...Van 2.

I can't believe after 30 hours of NO sleep everyone in the van is still talking to one another.
We had the perfect van:)

We had to wear really cool safety gear...and wave a flag to cross the street.

And the best part of the race was of course checking out my hot husband in his spandex!

By the end of the weekend...everyone was planning for next years race!

I guess that means Shake, Rattle and Run will be running RAGNAR in 2013.

happy "spookiness"

I love Halloween. 

I'm not sure if it's the candy or all the cutest of the littles.

We trick or treated with sweet friends and ate Mollie's famous jambalaya.

the candy getting crew

they work hard to fed us

a last minute costume change from "the mighty flash" to a very homemade ghost

I love projects like this with the boys...it really shows their styles and personalities
