Rock & Roll Marathon!

4:30 am ~ getting ready for the big race!

Just after we crossed the finish line.

Mesh and I ran our first marathon today and did it together every step of the way, holding hands the last couple feet as we crossed the finish line! We finished in 4:33.19 which is a pace of 10:26 min/mile. We were at about a ten minute pace until mile 20 and then we were just focused on surviving...but we kept on going and made it through running the whole time! Shockingly, I didn't even need to stop to use the bathroom. Gramps, Nate & Riley met us at the finish line - what a great feeling!

Waiting for the doctor

We had some time while waiting for the doctor at Riley's 15 month and Nate's 3 year check-up so we sang Riley's favorite song.

Toby School Graduation

This first one wasn't from preschool but so cute I had to add it!

Nate and Riley had their last day of our coop preschool this week and the class celebrated with a little graduation ceremony. Next year Nate is off to preschool on his own 3 days a week - and he can't wait to go all by himself. For the last month at the coop preschool he has been telling me "You can go Mama, I like to go to school by myself."

Water park and Gig Harbor parade

We went to the Crossroads water park with friends on Nate's birthday. The weather was perfect!

This is Nate's serious face.

After weeks of wonderful sunny weather it rained on the day of the Gig Harbor parade-but that didn't stop us from going! Nate and Riley loved watching the floats go by and Nate collected a ton of candy and toys - so much fun!

Nate is 3!

Nate is 3 today! We celebrated Nate turning 3 and Mesh turning 30 with a party at the bounce house last weekend. So today Nate keeps informing me that his birthday is already over and to stop singing or wishing him a happy birthday. Happy Birthday Nater (very quietly) - you are a joy and I can't believe our little boy is 3!
