My rockstar.. she can really dance!!

So this is my little "Rock star" as she would put it! She amazes me in so many ways I can't name them all. It almost seems every day she busts out with somthin new that makes us smile! She is like a little sponge, she is smart and i love how she picks up on the littlest details. I think for sure I'm going to have my hands full when she gets a little older!

So we have this thing between us girls in our family, that we like to have "DANCE parties"...it's where we turn up the turns really loud and sing our gut's out. So I'm here to share her with you...enjoy! She has the moves down for sure..! The song kinda runs out because my memory card ran out fast but you get the idea. We love you and all your spunk "C"...I love having girls... oh i do!!!!

P.S. remember to mute my background music to here her sing! :)

"Heart Attack"...

No, No not to worry you all... but we gave Dustin a Heart Attack for Valentines Day! I guess it kinda sounds bad with the news of my mom's cancer in my last post to news of a heart attack!!?? Just the Valentines day kind. LOL!

*** Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Valentines Day!

The kids and I made cheesy hearts and stuck them all over the Armada so when Dustin saw it the kids were convinced he was going to have a Heart Attack! I can't count how many times I did this in High School but it's still fun to get my kids involved! I guess you can still call me CHEESY!

CANCER...

It's true... my mother for those of you who know her, has ovarian Cancer. After a series of testing a few weeks ago and things came back pre-cancer they sent her biopsy to CA to do some further testing. She found out on Friday that things didn't look so good and the testing came back positive. It was a lot of big words that she couldn't pronounce and then she did a fare amount of research herself. After nurse called her and told her the news, she was having such a hard time with it. She then called all of us kids and dealing with it has been a little hard. To think how bad is it? How fast is it spreading? will a hysterectomy remove all the cancer? Does she have to go through chemotherapy and will she loose her hair? So many questions and no answers yet? Her Dr. is out of town until Tuesday. As I know more I'll keep this updated! Hope your weekend was a good one.

Remember those we love.... hold a littler tighter and keep them in our prayers!

Londons Run/Marathon

HALF MARATHONThis was one of the hardest things that i have even done...I rate it right up there with child birth!
If you thought it would be easy? Who lied to you???

Some of my random thoughts/feelings:
rewarding
emotional
tired
many tears shed along the way
great cause
fulfilment
reached a goal
addicting
gratifying
Over all it was a great experience and couldn't have done it with a better running partner...A. Pearce! What an inspiration she is too me! Love your guts!
Way to go and pulling me through the last few miles and just telling me that I could do it!

WOW, you so did get me through it!
All in all it was for a great cause, a family out in Queen Creek, AZ lost their daughter to cancer and so in remembrance of her and many other children that face challenges of this kind they sponsor a run to donate all the money to help families in need! I truly feel that I helped out in a small way but I'm sure that it will mean a lot to receives it on the other end! It was more then a marathon for me it was one of those experiences that will leave a mark on my heart forever!
If any of you are thinking about doing it i say go for it! Read up on it and set your marks high! We owe are amazing hubbies for all the LONG hours we were gone and being so supportive! I think he finally caught the magic of it all towards the day of the big run!
