Look at the two love birds, Mitzi and Rob!!! They look like they are on a nice little vacation under their grass hut, just the two of them :)

Oh hey I wish I was a kid again... when it was okay to eat ice cream sundaes as fast as you can with no hands!!! I might have to try that tonight on my own just for fun!!!

Went to Hurricane Harbor today with Mitzi and Kris and the kids.... We had a blast :) In addition to hanging out with all of the kiddies and aunties today, I did get a chance to steal away and do some of the "big kid" waterslides!!! I was very proud of myself for doing the Vipers drop or whatever it is called..... The big black one that goes straight down!!!! I tell you what, I have never had a bigger wedgie in my entire life, but it was totally fun and worth it! Thanks to the Mandel's for the free tickets! PS... all these pics are courtesy of Mitzi's blog!

8 miles!!!

I just wanted to share to everyone that I ran 8 miles today!!!! Never ever ever in my wildest dreams did I think I could ever run 8 miles... but today I did... not very fast... It took me about an hour and fifteen minutes, but I did it :) Yay for me. Walked for a half mile afterwards burning EXACTLY 1,000 calories... crazy huh?!?!? I think I can treat myself to ice cream tonight if I wanted to :). Only 5.1 miles to go for half marathon shape!

The Missing

So I finished my book for May, called the Missing. It was a pretty good book! Nice change of pace from my normal Jodi Picoult books. The book was about a girl with special powers... not like super hero powers, powers that she can hear people in danger and try to save them. That is just the underlying plot going on beneath the love story that is going on. The title of the book comes from the main characters' ability to find the missing and in the process maybe she finds herself and who she is!!! Great book if you are interested.

The book that I am reading for June is called Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult. I have read the first 100 pages... so far so good! Hopefully during the summer I will be able to ready two books a month and get caught up on all the books that I have bought over the past couple of months!

Hail.... in June?

It started hailing when we were at dinner... and we had to walk back to our hotel (luckily it was only three blocks away... but some of the hail was a little bit bigger than the size of peas) and it hurt!!!!

Our hike in Tahoe!

We went on a two and half / three hour hike up Eagle trail! It was absolutely breathtaking... and also difficult... All going up a mountain..... my quads were freakin sore... as well as my ankles (we may have rolled our ankles a few times marchin on up there).
