Memorial Day

Well, our Memorial Day celebration got off to a great start this morning with a 1st Annual Lubbock Stake 5k Run! I had to push the double stroller for the first half so that Vic could run it (cause he can actually RUN the whole time) and then Vic came and took the stroller and I half ran/half walked the rest of the way. It was my first 5k and I came in at a pathetic 52 minutes. The only direction you can go from there is up I guess. Vic of course got FIRST PLACE when he came in at an amazing 20:01!! It's really crazy how good he's gotten in just a few short months. I must say, I'm very impressed/proud of him.

After the 5k we went home to get the kids fed and changed into our swimming suits because our friends Jake and Andrea invited us to go swimming at the community pool near his dad's (our Bishop's) house. The pool was nice and even had a kiddie pool for Abby...but did she want to stay in it? Nope, of course she wanted to be with the adults in the big pool...which makes it difficult when the shallow end is 3 feet at it's smallest. We even put Logan in the pool with us for a little bit, in his onesie since he's so small we haven't even thought about getting a swimming suit for him yet. The pool was a nice temperature and it was so hot outside, it was a great day to go swimming.

After swimming we all came home for a nap. Well, all except for Mom who took a shower and went with our friend Stephanie to the store to get food for our barbecue we were going to have. Once I got home, it was time to clean up a little bit and get the food prepared. Stephanie and Addie came over about 6:00 and we ate about 6:30. The food was amazing...hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, pork and beans, potato salad, deviled eggs, and chocolate chip cookies. Wonderful friends and amazing food. What more can you ask for, really?

At 8:45 I headed over to my friend Chelsea's for our weekly game of Peanuts. We still had a good turnout with it being a holiday and as usual, I had a lot of fun. Did I bring a camera to any of these events? Of course not. That's just how I roll I guess. Today was an amazing day filled with friends, food, and laughter. We closed our day a little sunburned, REALLY tired, but incredibly happy. Life in Lubbock is wonderful to us.
