First day back to Preschool

Maisey had her first day of Preschool yesterday. It couldn't come fast enough for her. It's all she has talked about since the boys started back. She absolutely loves it and this year its three hours instead of two for the four year old class. She's my little sidekick so its going to take a little getting used to. I know I will not like her going to kindergarten next year. She is growing so fast!

Results

Well after waiting over an hour and a half I saw my doctor and its a stress fracture of the femoral head... and some ligament damage. It will take at least three to four months to heal. If I would use crutches it would heal faster so we will see... I hate the dang things! 

Maisey's first haircut

Maisey had her first haircut today! She's four and a half and it was time to get rid of those ends. We went up to Aunt Carol's house in Huntsville and Heidi and Elena met us up there. Afterwards we went and got some lunch and took it to the park. It was nice to catch up and the girls had a good time playing!

3 brothers, 1 sister, 1 SIL and hubby and lots of awesome friends!

It was hard for me to watch everyone run the marathon but I am so proud of my family and friends that ran it this year. Kevin's knee didn't work after about five miles and he had to stop. It was really frustrating for him and it sucks that this year it just wasn't going to happen for us. I have him going to see my doctor next week so hopefully when can figure out all of these dumb injuries! My brother Jeremy who was told not to run from his doctor due to his back did an amazing job and came in at 1:41. It was his first half marathon. My brother Chris who is pushing fifty also did great and came in around 2:07. I talked to him the night before and he really was worried about how he was going to do and he did great! My sister Amanda came in just seconds after 2:00 and told me never to ask her to do it again! It's funny because they all say that but I have heard a couple of them say they might do it again next year. I guess it takes a couple of days after to event think about next year. My brother James ran it for the first time and his wife Kari also did it! Kari broke her toe a couple of months ago and was only about to train for a few weeks. She did awesome and came in at 1:54. I was worried James would kill me for talking me into doing it but he says maybe next year and fourty pounds lighter. It sucks that I wasn't able to run but Kevin kept telling me its the journey and not the destination. As I look back I think he may be right. I had a great time training with Misti and Tiffany and most importantly Kevin. Even though we don't have the same pace it was nice to go run in the mornings together.

We saw Jeremy first and it was fun to see him running down from the canyon.

Amanda giving thumbs up! I know she loves doing the marathon even if she hates me afterwards!

I managed to get Chris to sign up again this year! He doesn't like me very much right now but he did so great!

James and Kari after the race! I'm so proud!

The picture that kills me not to be in! I love my family!

This Sucks!

I went yesterday to see the Orthopedic Surgeon that Basic Sports Medicine had referred me to. I am still limping and having some pain but have felt a lot better in the last couple of days. The doctor checked me out and thinks I have a hip stress fracture. I had some x-rays done and you couldn't see anything which is common so he would like me to get a MRI done. He wanted me to go off of my anit- inflammatory and muscle relaxers to see if it was just masking my pain. Last night it was bothering me quit a bit but since I don't know for sure I'm just going to see what the next couple of days bring. I'm okay to do other things other then running but Its just upsetting when I have so many friends and family running the race and I've trained for so long. I have had a couple of good cries which I know is so stupid but I have gotten this far and it just sucks! 

First day of School

Yeah! First day of school! The kids were excited to go back even though Trey doesn't look like it. He is so much like his dad! 

My brother Jeremy got here last night for his week of playing golf with my other brother James. He is running the TOU on Saturday with us.

Summer Dance

Another year of Summer dance and Maisey had so much fun! I love how low key it is and Maisey loves to see her friends from church. This year the 4-5 year old class was supposed to have their hair crimped in a ponytail. I haven't used a crimper since middle school so I was in luck and my neighbor Aneesa had one from high school that still worked. Maisey loved looking in the mirror and watching as her hair got crimped. It was fun to watch the girls and Maisey just loves her summer dance teacher Raechel!
