Hula Hooping Fun

soccer day

And I see your true colors shining through.......

Marathon Relay

Di and I signed up to run the Spokane Marathon Relay (with the group of girls from GU athletics I ran it with two years ago).  Due to another knee surgery in the works for Di, Amie stepped in to fill her (running) shoes and Di served as my nanny.  Best nanny I can find.  I only have to pay her Kendall Jackson!  We had a great time!  It felt good to get moving again.  Good times with good friends!

Trevor Lincoln

I'm not sure how I got so lucky!

My heart melts every time I see this:

Loving this song.  These guys are coming to Spokane December 5.  May have to look into it...

Kid Funnies

Millie: Mommy, I have to tell you something.
Me: What?
Millie: Remember Ryan came over?
Me: Ryan Bressler?
Millie: Yeah. And that other boy.
Me: Phil?
Millie: Yeah.  That was fun.  I want them to come again.
They were here a month or two ago when Phil was dropping off Ryan at GU.

I called Trevor on speakerphone in the car.  He didn't answer, and his voice mail came on.  I hung up saying "where is daddy?"  Millie said, "He's unavailable." 

Mil "Mommy I'm gonna take my bow out because it's not windy inside."

 

Talking w Mil about GA getting a flu mist. I said it doesn't hurt, and shots only hurt a little bit. she says "no, a BIG bit!"

Murph getting his haircut and Mil sitting next to him telling the lady "My grandma and grandpa live in Hawaii" Mil "I'm even not a boy. I'm a girl."

Called a squirrel "stupid" for sitting in the street. Mil says "stupid idiot." I said it's only ok to call a squirrel that Nobody else. she says "especially only a baby weiner dog."

"How do you plant a banana tree if bananas don't have seeds?" - GA

Hola! Fresh from Spanish. Murph said "a boy is nino and a girl is nina". I said I know-i took Spanish when I was little. "Really? When you were 4? Whoa."

Georgia was telling me about indoor recess when it rains, and how they play Heads Up 7 Up. I said I remember playing that when I was little, and I used to cheat and look under my arm at the person's shoes that put my thumb down. She had the biggest smile. then she said "I've never gotten up to pick people. Once I accidentally looked up too soon and saw who put my thumb down, so I told the teacher."

Look at that puppy with that guy. It's so cute. Murph: "It's a boy bc he has a dude." Mil: "The man has a dude too."

Mil: "Member that girl sings 'Have you ever felt this way ay ay ay' and she got wet? I want to watch that." That would be Pink's Glitter in the Air music award you tube video.

Talking w Mil - What's your baby sister's name? "Charlie. Charlie Mae." And your brother? "Murphy Lincoln Kettrick. And my sister Georgia." Georgia what? "Georgia Violin Kettrick." 

Charlie was crying and Mil said "don't cry, said mother."

What's your favorite song Mil? "You!" I'm not a song! "Uh huh! Ma ma mommy I love you mommy..."

GA mixing waffle mix "If I was an octopus I'd have this done by now!"

"Crash into me. Dave Matthews say that."

5K Fallen Leaf run for SIDS

We invited Roe for a very good reason. :0)

Maddie & GA

Hi Di!

Something just doesn't make sense here...the girl behind them is running the opposite direction...

pit stop

Millie and James contemplating saying hi to Otto.

Georgia pressured her a little much...

She truly IS my kid!

Best!!

It was a BEAUTIFUL day for a run.  And a great reason to get out and hit the pavement!  This was my second year doing the Fallen Leaf run.  I flew solo last year, and decided to sign everyone up this year!  The T-shirts people were wearing in honor of the babies they lost to SIDS were heartbreaking to see.  I am so thankful for my four and couldn't imagine such a loss.  We will all be doing the run again next year! Anyone want in?!
