Half Marathon Doug/Dora

Hailey and Harrison helped us with water a mile 4. It was so great to see them. My dear friend, Jamie drove them around to see us in the race. Her little 10 year old run the 1/2 marathon and ended 30 min before me.

It freshed me to see them again at mile 10. I needed the water so bad and only to see them gave me strength.

My time 2:02 average of 9 min 22 sec per mile. My goal was 9 min but at mile 11 I went down hill. However from last run I improved 30 min.

After crossing the finish line, I decided to go find Doug, he was only 10 min behind me. I was more excited to finish with him that when I cross the line by myself, I adore him. Doug did amazing, his time was 2:12. Faster than my first 1/2 marathon, I am worry that I wont keep up with him soon, I also excited for him to enjoy to accomplish things like this with his new health.

April stuff

 Hailey loves to performe with Sun Shine generation, this was in a senior center.

We went to two Easter Hunts but late, Hailey was kind of sad, so Easter Sunday the boys hid eggs in our grass area for the girls, I was relief that she enjoyed it a lot. Harper loved everything, specilly thr candy.

Harper putting attention to the nursery class

Harper love to sing and play at nursery, she does not even say good bye at drop out time.

Hailey brought Harper to share time to her class. Harper is sad in this pic because she fell down in the playground.

Harper in line to go inside the class, both were so excited.

Harper joined the class for the pleage of Allegince. She got so up set at the time to go home. That girl is so ready for school, she loves to be older independent toddler.
The good news is that I found a preschool that adimitted her fof this next school year, twice a week 2 1/2 hours a day. Today we drove by the preschool in our way to a store and she pointed in direction to the preschool saying: "mom take me to my school", smart girl.

Welcome Spring

Hayden is faster than last year. He won 100m, 200m by far from other runners.

Harper loves the park

 

Doug at the end of his 12 miles run training. He is getting faster. He loves to feel healthy and being able to acomplish such achievement. He was in assolated floor after  the stem cell transplant only 13 months ago, now running like a roadrunner. I am anticipating to cry the day of the race, he is my hero. 

Harrison's 11th BDay

My Baby boy is not a baby anymore. He is smart, FUNNY and loving kid. 9+2=11. 

Harrison choose to go to ITZ with friends to celebrate his b day, WE stayed 4 hours there. He was so HAPPY because he could get that giant ball with the help of his friends.

 

The boys had great time climming the wall. They did it many many times. 

Michael, Braiden, Cooper, Harrison and Kyle.

Potty training in two days

Harper kept asking me to put her in the potty for two months. I refused of course, I was not ready to do the follow up for months since she was only 2 y 4mo. I even attended a party potty but left early thinking that I did not want to start yet.
One Monday Feb 20th, I decide to give it a try, just to see. well to my surprise, Harper would sit for a long time on the potty with no complain. The first time she pee on it, I ofcourse made a celebration and she loved it, I sat her  every hour and she did not pee much, however she only had one small accident.
The next day, she figured herself to make the effort to pee, again one small accident.
The third day, Harper sat by herself when she felt is was time but I mostly aske her to sit down, she was so obedient.
That was it, because the 4th day she got diarreah and she would run to the potty by herself, she would come to me afterwards to celebrate.
She would wake up dry from nap and from the night, I still put diaper because I did not want to deal with accidents but I am thinking to stop soon.
Harper is sure smart and my champion.

Disney 3er day

Doug had a blast, his health has allowed him to enjoy more fully many things.

 

Harrison and Doug rode Screaming for firts time, they rode it 3 times and they loved it.

 

 

We meet we our dear friends the Lloyd's, we talked and rode rides. 

The kids pick up the friendship rigthaway. It is a blessing to have good friends. 

We also saw the Brooks  family there.

Disney 3er day

The boys had lunch at ESP Zone and big rides while I took the girls for a princess time. I started that day with a little sore throat, I felt ok during the day but by 6 pm I felt sick. I was able to get a presciption from a good friend doctor. I am glad i got sick the last day. I used think that Disney was a nightmare vacation, but for some reason this was a great vacation. Maybe because we did what we like to do there and we rashed the crowd less. I kind of miss it.throu

Hailey is very imaginative and she embraces magic and make believe. This might the last year she enjoy this, I just  happy to see her being a little girl.

 

She decided to wear a dress that will make her be princess Hailey.

 

 

We had lunch with the princesses.

Harper's favorite princess is Ariel.

 

 

Cinderela was the nicest, she told Hailey that Ariel and she were talking what a beautiful dress Hailey was wearing, she was so personal.
