Today is Brent's B-day! Happy B-day Brent! He is 27 now and still looks like he could be 18! We are going out for dinner tonight while my Mom watches the kids. Then we will have some cake and ice cream with the kiddies.

We Celebrated the 24th in Mendon, like we do every year. I ran the 10k Saturday morning and got 3rd place in my age group! Technically I got 2nd, because the girl who was first got 1st over all, so she doesn't count right? I got a free cheese burger and drink. Woo hoo! even though I didn't feel like it till way later. I didn't feel like eating much that day. because I felt sick after the race. I'm still trying to recover. I pushed myself pretty hard!

Brent played in a Basketball tournament earlier in the week and their team got 2nd place. He had alot of fun. We also tried to play in the Volleyball tournament Saturday, but they already had enough teams. We were subs, but nobody ever wanted a sub. Owell, we got next year :) Brent also played in the horse shoe tournament with his brothers while Me and Joann (sis.-in-law) took the older kids around on the fun bouncy slides and toys. Brayden also got to ride a pony. :)

We enjoyed parades and fireworks for the 24th and I attempted to take the kids to the Aquatic center Friday, all by myself, and I did it! The first thing Brayden wanted to do is go down the water slide. I could only go down with one of them so Brayden ended up going down all by himself. (he was barely tall enough) I told him I would be right after him and that the lady would catch him at the bottom and sent him on his way. He looked back at me all worried because he thought I was going to go with him. I saw him after the first bend still turning to look at me all worried, then I saw him down the next bend and he was on his stomach going head first! uh oh! I don't know how he got into that position. I felt so bad for him, because I knew he was scared, but I couldn't stop laughing. He wouldn't stop crying and talked about it for a long time after. He didn't want to swim after that. He ran away from me and headed for the car. he wanted to go home! After I chased him down with Tyson in my arms he sat in a chair and watched me and Tyson play in the water until he was ready to come in. When he did and got comfortable in the water he didn't want to leave. We stayed there for 2 hrs! I'm glad I stuck it out and had a fun time with my boys :)
