Fun weekend!

This past weekend was Riverboat Days in my hometown. It's the annual summer event with a parade, food, crafts, and of course a beer tent! Five weeks ago Kyle, my sister, and I decided to run in the 5k that is always Saturday morning before the parade. I have to say I was really worried about doing this. I have never been a great runner so I was worried I wouldn't be able to run the whole way or that I would embarrass myself by coming in dead last. Fortunately I ran the whole way and didn't come in last! I am even thinking about running in another 5k this fall. Kyle and my sister did great too! I am so proud of us. I guess I can cross that off my list of things to do before I turn 30!

While we were home we decided to take some cowboy pictures of the boys. My brother lives near a lake in the country so it was the perfect spot. He also owns horses so we had access to a saddle for them to sit on. I am planning on having a cowboy themed birthday party for Sutton's first birthday. I figured this would be a great opportunity to get some pictures to use on his invite. They turned out awesome! I was so happy with them that I made a trip to get them printed off the very next day. I even made his birthday invite on Shutterfly! I am a little ahead of the game on this, but I had lots of homework to do this week and I needed a distraction from actually doing it! :)

We had a fun time with my family and catching up with old friends. I feel blessed to have so many wonderful memories of this summer. Work starts on Monday so ready or not here comes another school year!
