Christmas Angel

Every now and then my mom gets the most amazing pictures. What is even more amazing is that those pictures were taken of Kendall! Nicknamed the "White Devil" by no accident, I would call it a Christmas miracle that these shots were taken of such a Christmas Angel, our sweet and sassy Kendall.

Addie's Kindergarten Christmas Party

I got to go help out at Addie's Christmas party at school. It was a fun time complete with a pinata, fun games and yummy treats. Their teacher Mrs. Godsill gave them each a book. They even got to make their own gingerbread house! Addie was really confident about it because she had already had some practice doing gingerbread houses at Aunt Stephanie's house.

Zach's First Haircut

I finally gave in and gave him a haircut. His hair was getting pretty long to where it was getting curly and girly and we can't have that going with a Green boy. Anyway, as you can tell by the pictures he hated every minute of it. But now we spike it and it is so cute! I will try to post a spikey-do picture soon.

YMCA 1 Mile Fun Run!!

The girls ran in the annual Canyon County Harvest Classic 1 mile fun run sponsered by the YMCA this year! They were so excited to do this. The weather was so cold and windy that day but their resilience was amazing and they still had smiles on their face after they were done! Addie ran with one of her friends and Kendall was my buddy. She was so cute. She would run as fast as she could and then slow down and walk and say "mom, I'm tired" and I would say "do you want to keep walking?", and she would say everytime "no I want to run!" and take off for another 30 seconds or so as fast as she could. Thanks mom for braving the weather and taking pictures!

Kendall Irene Green turns 3!! Late :(

I am so late getting a post up about my sweet little Kendall and her 3rd birthday! We did a Barbie party at home for the Green clan and Grandma threw a Dora fiesta party for the Grants! She had so much fun and would say "I love it" to everything she received. She is such a wonderful blessing to our family.

I finished the race...

Thats about all I can say. It was pretty pathetic but hey I finished! It took me 2 hrs and 54 minutes. The hills on this were killer. I thought I had done enough work on the rolling hills out by where I live. Um NO! The second hill (actually it was the top section of a longer hill) was so steep you could walk as fast as you could run. Think middleton road hill but for a half mile. I had 2 major obstacles as well during the race. My first obstacle came when I had to make a pit stop at hidden springs. For those of you who would like to hear more of this adventure email me and I will gladly share as it is a little too graphic for a public blog, but a funny story! My second obstacle was at mile 10 when my knee started hurting so bad I wanted to cry. So I had to walk(limp) the last 3 miles. I was able to muster up a slow jog across the last little stretch to the finish line where I was greeted by my mom and my brother and his family. That was so awesome to see them and made me feel good. I have a goal to run it next year and be 30 pounds lighter(so I dont kill my joints) and run it 45 minutes faster.

Half Marathon in ONE WEEK!!!!

In exactly one week from today I will be running the Zeitgeist Half Marathon just outside of Boise. I can't believe I am actually here and I have no injuries this time!! Please pray my fat butt can make it across that finish line!!!!
The run is on November 1, which is my moms birthday, so I decided to dedicate it to her and her gift will be me finishing! That will be good enough motivation to chug out 13.1 miles.

Here is the link to the race

Has it really been 3 months??!!

I can't believe it has been almost 3 months since I last posted. Zach is a big 9 months old today! He is pulling himself up and standing on everything and really wants to walk, but hopefully takes his sweet time for moms sanity. My cord for my camera is lost right now so I really don't have alot of pictures to update, but I have a few from my mom in email so I will try to get those posted soon. I also need to post about Kendalls birthday, soon, I promise!

Mom, I think I'm ready to wear a bra....

yes words that came out of my 5 year old daughters mouth. I mean seriously where did she learn she needed a bra? If she watches tv it is disney cartoons, and I have never had any bra discussions with her. For the moment it has been put on the backburner, but I will take any advice in the comments section!

1/2 a Year Old

Zach recently turned 6 months old. I can't believe 1/2 a year has flown by. He went to his 6 month check up and weighed a whopping 19 lbs 1 oz and was 28 inches long. He screamed when he got his shots but recovered quick enough to give the nurse a smile before she left. He is sitting up on his own now and eating solids for breakfast and dinner. His favorites are oatmeal, sweet potatoes and bananas. Stuff we are still working with and getting lots of funny faces from are peas, greenbeans, applesauce.
