Video Link for Boise's Susan G. Komen - Race for a Cure

I sure hope it works. Here's a link to the video from the race on Saturday that I participated in. I actually made it on screen as I crossed the finish line.

It's the first video on the right, just click in the middle of image and it will start playing. Can you find me? Hint: I'm somewhere around the 50-60 minute mark. My race number was 11666.

Pictures from today

It was a nice day so George and I took a stroll outside on the porch. He crawled back and forth all over the place.

He even thought to walk a bit.....

but needed help in order to get off the porch and down to the sidewalk and grass.

He's not to sure what to think of grass. He'll put his hand on it and then pull away. Perhaps it's to tough and pokey.

He's walking!!! I can hardly believe it. Little Man has been walking for a few weeks now and everyday he gets stonger and stronger. He can almost cross the entire living room before falling. Falling usually results from him going a little to fast or crossing one foot over the other and getting all tangled up. He takes his falls well and usually gets right back up. He doesn't need to pull up on anything to get to a stand, he just gets on his hands and feet (like a bear crawl) and then bends at the waist. He's such a ham and loves to try and chase the cats and dogs around the room. You can see them checking him out in the above picture. Here's a short video of him showing off his skills. It's not the best but he did take a few steps for the camera.

Racing for a Cure

That's right! Me racing for a cure for breast cancer. My goal for this year is to get more physically fit and I decided what better way to reward my accomplishments so far than to run a 5K. While looking for a race I discovered that the annual Susan G. Komen Race for a Cure was being held in Boise on May 10th. Doesn't give me much time to get in shape to run over 3 miles, but then again if I can't run it I can walk it....as long as I finish I say.

If you want to help me raise funds for the cure you can donate at my race site:

I'm getting excited and it's still over 2 weeks away. Oye that's going to be a long Saturday...check in starts at 7am. I'll be doing this alone this year, but perhaps I'll make some friends along the way. Here's to Jackie...my husbands step-grandmother....racing for you!!

I made this blog site and need to post more so I'm taking a contest as a chance to motivate myself to do just that. A friend at http://titsworthfamily.blogspot.com/ is doing a photo dump contest and I these are a few of my favorites......

This is the look you get when you wake DH up with the flash. He looked so cute and peaceful asleep with the cat before this.
