Remember the Ten run

I'm just catching up on my blogs, so I apologize for all of them. The weekend of April 19, Tommy and I were slated to run in a 5K that was to honor 10 men from the OSU basketball program that were killed in a plane crash over 7 years ago. We knew them all and one was one of Tommy's groomsmen. It ended up that just the kids and I went b/c Tommy traveled to Indiana to see Meredith one last time and tell her goodbye.

I ended up running the entire 5K, which for anyone that knows me, this is a big fete. I am not a runner. I would prefer walking, but something just kept me going. It was a great time and I look forward to next year's race.

While we were there, the kids got aquainted with my parents 2 new dogs, Liz and Sam.

Here's Madison and Grandpa putting the dogs in their "yard" while we go to dinner.

Trey would just stand at the door giggling at them.

I also became a little creative and my inner Martha Stewart came out over the weekend. From a link on my friend Alison's blog, I saw the cutest burp cloths and minky blankets for babies. I just had 2 friends that had babies and thought, I can make these. Luckily my mom has 12 sewing machines!! (just kidding, she only has 5). I was able to do almost all the work after she gave me a tutorial on each different machine. I think they turned out pretty good. I even made the comment that I might just have another child b/c they were so cute. Trust me, that thought only lasted about 3 seconds!

Here are the finished products:

On the way home, I heard this weird sucking noise and then giggles. I turned around and this is what I saw.
