Fun Friday and Saturday

This Friday was pretty awesome. First my Mom came and picked up Maile, she was going to be spending the night with her. Next, my step mom Marj came and picked up the twins for their sleepover. Finally Zach and Zachary got on the road to go to their father and son camp out. And then I was all alone. I really didn't know what to do with myself so I ended up just relaxing and enjoying not having to do all the usual routines. I ended up sleeping really poorly, every noise made me jump but it was defiantly worth the hours I got to myself!
So, Zach took Zachary to the father and son camp out, late but none the less. They had a good time sleeping in the car and then they got to go canoeing and all that fun stuff. Zach took the camera and I was hoping to get at least one good picture of them but to no avail I got about 250 pictures of Hoover Dam and the surrounding scenery and a couple of other peoples kids but not a single picture of Zachary.....MEN!!!
So while every one was away my good friend Danielle, her husband and I all took part in the New Nevada 5k race in North Las Vegas on Sat. morning. It was a pretty fun run and the weather was great. I beat out my last 5k time by about 40 seconds coming in at 26:20. I placed 42 overall and took home second place in my age group. After taking a few weeks off from running I am re motivated to get back into it. Something about finishing a race just makes me want to do it again and again! Next race July 4th. Now I just have to actually train so I can shave off more time!
After the race I got to come home and spend more time by myself and then Zach came home and we both got in a good nap before our Cowgirls came home. First Lexi and Becca came home and yes they were spoiled the whole time they were away. They got to go to Ihop for breakfast, the district for crafts, and finally to a movie. Next, Maile came home a few hours later. She got to go watch Auntie Sam's school play and then went to Ice cream with Grandma Liza, Great Grandma Renee, Aunt Lezlie, Aunt Sam and Leila. What a lucky girl!! I am so, so thankful for the time that our kids get to spend with their Grandparents, so thank you for being such a huge part of their lives!!
