Goose's First 5K

I haven't shared much about being a board member on a local non-profit here in Colorado but I am today because we just had our first Run, Stroll & Roll 5K Free Community Event! It was a blast!
Own Your Own Health is a great organization that is helping people take ownership of their own health. Our mission is Encouraging, developing & supporting ownership of your health and healthcare. 
My family has a special bond with this organization for at least two reasons:
1.) my best friend is the founder and executive director and she has the most kind spirit of anyone I know!
2.) because when Hubby was sick this past April not only did the mission of the organization and the information they provide help save his life and get him the care he needed but Tiffany was there for support every step of the way!

Here are just a few pictures from the event.
Kelsey Campbell from the 2012 London Olympics was there and she signed Goose's shirt. 
She said it was the first time she had ever signed a baby!

Just chillin' out in the windy Colorado weather watching everyone run the race.
I think she won the 5K race! 
It was a free community event so in reality there were no official winners but in my book if you can run a 5K with a child on your back you should get a metal!

I will continue to share information about this organization as we grow and do things around the community. In the mean time if you want to know more about it go to Own Your Own Health.org or email me with anything you would like to know.

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
