Race for the Cure

Salena invited everyone to join her team "Pretty Pink Pansies" for the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure today. So Tori and I joined Shawna, Salena and Jessie for the Race today. We had a great time. The start of the race was at SUPERVALU Home office. Tori and I had Dana drop us off at my work and we walked over to the Main building. They had a bunch of vendors set up in the parking lot, so we wandered around and got pink cloth groceries bag, pink bandanas and tatoos on our faces. They are saying that there was almost 14,000 people participating in the race this year. This is a look at the crowd at the start line.

Here we are waiting for the start of the race. It was a beautiful day, sun and a light breeze.

Jessie brought Avery and Salena had Bentley. As you can see Avery is already to go......

Bentley wasn't all that excited, she wanted to take a nap, which is what she did right after the race started. Salena walked the race carrying Bentley.

Finally the race started and it probably took us 5 minutes to start walking after they started the race. Here we are on the our way.

Tori and Jessie headed off at a much faster pace than the rest of us. Tori was pointing out the gaps and Jessie was pushing the stroller and away they went......We didn't see them again until the end of the race. Here is a look at the crowd of people in front of us.After the race we meet Steve and Skyler at IHOP for breakfast (actually it was lunch time). It was a blast, however we did miss Sharlene who was Shaving Ice at the soccer tournament. We have already started talking about the Women's Fitness Challenge in Sept. Place to join our team for that event.

Prom

It is Prom Night ~ It all started two weeks ago when Lodge (his real name is Andrew Lodge but Tori just calls him Lodge) unofficially ask Tori to go to Prom. As it turns out Boise and Timberline's Prom is on the same night (Lodge goes to THS). So they are just going to THS's prom. The shopping for a dress began. Lodge gave Tori a list of colors he would not wear (he wanted to match his Tux to her dress). We finally found the perfect dress. Finally this week we got the official invitation, a box of rose petals, rose and a note. Then we had to give him an answer, so we went to Petco and bought a Beta fish and bowl. She made a sign to put on the fish bowl that said "It will be a SPLASH to go to Prom with you" and we delivered it to his house while he was at work. I treated her to getting her hair and makeup done. Lodge picked her up at 5:00, here they are exchanging flowers. Took some pictures and then they were off to Lodge's house for more pictures. She said that...

Welcome to the deep end...

...this is the message I got on Monday as I jumped in. Monday was my birthday, another milestone day.  One that I have been dreading for weeks.  Not sure why this one is so hard to swallow.   For weeks I have been feeling like the crocodile from Peter Pan...Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.  The days just tick away. Birthday's are interesting, there is a build up as the day gets closer adding to the excitement (or dread).  Then the alarm goes off on the "BIG" day and you wake up just like any other day.  The same person, nothing feels different.  If it wasn't for the wrinkles you see in the mirror you wouldn't know you were any older. It isn't until you mentally do the math in your head and realize that you're starting a new decade of your life.  60 is the new 30, right!?! We need to not dwell on the years that have past, we should look forward to the years ahead of us, all the new adventures to be had, people to meet, life left to experience. So let'...

Tori Scores! ! ! ! !

SENIOR NIGHT We had two very important (and tough) games this week. We needed to win them both to end up high in the standings. Monday's game, Senior night, was against Capital, Tori played outside back defender the whole first half. Then he moved her to outside midfielder for the second half. Boise won to win 3-1. Wednesday was again Centennial at Centennial. We started pretty flat and they scored first. Tori went in about half way through the first half as a outside midfielder. She SCORED with about 2 minutes left in the first half. It was a beauty...... We were able to come out in the second half and score again. Tori played really well in both games. Then we just held on tight and pulled out the win. We are going into the District Tourney as #2 seed. We play Saturday 10/11 at Centennial High School at 11:00. Come cheer her on..............
