HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you all have had a wonderful day.

We are having a great restful drizzly day, here in the Little Apple! We are getting a nice steady rain today! I keep thinking of all the folks that have family in or the little girls in the Easter dresses! However, the rain is wonderful!

Arturo had to go out and check babies this morning and they had six this morning! Six little Easter babies! I stayed here and did my normal Sunday morning stuff, balance our checkbook, pay bills and start laundry. We also made it to the 11:00 Mass at our church this morning. It was a nice service with BEAUTIFUL music. This afternoon Arturo has been watching baseball and I have been working on Accounting I homework. Arturo is cooking us the best smelling pork loin for dinner and my contribution is the corn bread and deviled eggs. You just can not have Easter without deviled eggs.

Well, I have made the leap and registered for my first FULL MARATHON. Can you believe it, I am going to run 26.2 miles on October 17th. Me...the one that made manager for the 8th grade basketball team, the girl that always got picked last. The one that would have been voted most nonathletic in school if that would have been a category. Yes, me...I am going to do it! My training will begin the first week of June, however I am going to continue running my average 12 miles during the work week and then do a longer run on the weekend such as 6-10 miles. Yesterday, I ran 6.67 miles and next weekend I am going to try for 7 and then keep working up until I get to 10 miles, before I start training. I think that this will give me a good base to start training. It is going to be an interesting ride...I plan to keep you all posted on my runs and how I am doing on my training program. So if you care stay tuned!

I am still knitting and still working on Arturo's sweater vest. It is taking FOREVER! It is going to be great once it is all done. I am ready for it to be done, so he will have it, but mainly so I can move on to the next project.

Here is the back of the sweater

And this is the beginning of the front...I still have a long way to go!

We hope you all have a wonderful blessed Easter Day!

LOVE YOU ALL!

Running eight!

This weekend was pretty exciting! I completed an eight mile run! It was a little tough, but I made it through it! Go me!

This week I am going to run three tomorrow, four on Tuesday and five on Thursday. I leave to head to TX to see my Mom and Robin on Thursday, so there probably will not be much running while I am there. That is ok, it will be great fun! We are headed to the Warrenton Antique Fair. It is acres and acres of cool junk. It will be great!

Sorry, I do not have a picture to share. I did not get many taken this weekend.

I have also finished the back of Arturo's sweater vest. Now I have to get through the front. I will share pictures soon, I promise!

Arturo has been really busy! Baby calves have started hitting the ground at the Cow/Calf Unit, so needless to say he is having to tag babies seven days a week. Spring has really sprung! I just love it!

I hope you all have a great week.

Take care!

Catching up

HI everyone! Sorry it has been a while... things here are busy, busy.

I have included a few pictures of us and our lives!

First is Max, he has one big stick that he packed off while we were cutting fire wood!


Us a the Tech/K-State Game! Go Red Raiders!



My baby sweater for little Leah. I have made more progress since this pictures. You are looking at the back of the sweater and the start of the sleeves.



This is my fall display for the front of the porch!

We are good, I am still running and enjoying the heck out of it. Arturo is still working like crazy. Life is busy, but we are loving it!

Take care all.

Fall Harvest

I LOVE FALL!

I think that it is my favorite season. Spring comes in a close second though. I love the smells, the colors and the coolness in the air. The trees have all ready started to turn a little here, I can not wait till about the middle of October. It will be beautiful!

Last weekend I drug out my fall decorations, Mom got me the Fall Harvest door hanger last year and I think it looks pretty cute with the fall wreath behind it! I am dying to hit Hobby Lobby and pick up a couple more things for in the house. Maybe this weekend!

Garden ~
I think that the garden is beginning to slow down. The tomato plants still have green tomatoes on them, but I am afraid they are not going to turn with the cool weather we are having. We may have to have some fried green tomatoes pretty soon!

I picked this bunch on Sunday and Arturo just roasted them in the oven with EVOO and salt and pepper. Then he served it with lamb shanks that had been cooking in a port sauce most of the afternoon and orozo on the side. Oh my word, was it amazing! I love that he his a wonderful cook!
*Side note to Janet and LA we have, no let me correct myself, Arturo has used the pot multiple times, so far. I know that we will use the dog out of it this winter! Thank you again!*




Knitting ~
I am still knitting, I have three projects going on at once, and that is probably why I have not finished any of them! I get board with one and pick up another and just go back and forth. I am working on a Baby Surprise Jacket. It is giving me fits. I will try to take some pictures this week and get them up!

Running~
I am still running...Arturo and I ran three miles yesterday and I plan to run another three today. Then we will run three tomorrow. I am starting to loose some, it is just so slow. However, I really have not changed my diet, I still eat pretty much whatever I please. I do eat pretty good, just sometimes to much on the portion side. I really do need to work on getting that under control. It is just sooooo hard for me though. I LOVE TO EAT!

Well, that is about all I have to ramble about this morning. My car is in the shop so I have been at my desk since about 6:30 AM, so I better eat a bite and I guess do something productive.

Have a great day everyone!

I am still Alive!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know I made it this morning! We ran a THREE MILES! It was a slow three for me, but I did it! I am sure I slowed everyone down a little, but they seemed cool with it!!

I have my knitting class tonight, I think we start a hat tonight! Will take pictures and share later!

Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

Wanted to leave you with a picture of my two favorite guys!
