Saturday recap

I got off from work on Saturday to find two cards and a dozen of roses on the table waiting for me.
Olivia's Mothers Day present was to teach me how to make origami fish.  She said if she taught me then I would teach others.  It is the gift that keeps giving.  I really love how she thinks.  We sat down for an hour making fish.  They are now displaced in your house.  Later, we went out for dinner at the Warehouse.  It is known for its wide wine variety and art from local venders.  The evening was wonderful.

Best part, Olivia wrote in her card "I love you so much, I love you more than a dolfin loves the sea." 

Mothers Day

A Mother's Love

There are times when only a mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappoints
And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we've dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a mother's heart and a mother's faith
And a mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the angels
And sent from God above.

Happy Mother's

Field Day

 Field day at school. Crab crawl, lots of jumping, face painting...

 Olivia had a dragon painted on her face.  The 6th graders paint them.

What a wonderful day in the sun. 

Lift

 Jon was painting again today with the lift.  After school Olivia asked if she could go up in it. 

 Why not, lets she what she has when it some to heights.  She did great, a little worries but what that is expected when you are taller then the house.

 Daddies little helper.

Spartan Race

 This morning I got up at 530am and ran with my friend Terri 8 wonderful miles with our dogs.  After our run, I talked to Jon and he was not able to do his Spartan race today.  I headed home and ate and changed and met him there.  Jon signed in and I took his number.  I ran with 5 of his Navy members.  We started off so clean and feeling great. 

 The obstacles were harder and longer then Tough Mudder (last years race). 

 Even this soapy climb was not bad.  O yea if you did not finish the obstacle or did not do it you had to do 30 burpies.  They were not fun!

 Picture below shows me going to the area to do my burpies.  I missed my one throw grenade toss.

 Then we climbed a rope, first I fell in to the cold water then I climbed.  Not easy when it is covered in mud!  Yea I missed the top and more burpies for me...

 The end was my favorite cause it was easier and less muddy.

 Over all it was a wonderful race and hope I can do this with Jon next year.

O yea Jon hurt his neck a couple of days ago and he can not turn his neck.  The doctor said pinch nerve but it is not getting better, hints he did not race. 

I am bet and going to bed.  lol
