Mommy Weekend - Keystone 10k

This is a first. A post with no kid pictures.

I thought it would be a great idea to plan a girls weekend getaway to Keystone. Then I found out a race would be going on that weekend and a few of us decided to participate. Jen, Meg, and I decided to run the 10k on saturday morning, and Stacey did the 5k on Sunday morning. We signed up and did not read the fine print, it was a 10k trail run. Luckily, the course had to be adjusted a few weeks before the race due to fire in Keystone. I knew we were in trouble when the race coordinator told us that the half mile between 1.5 and 2 miles was going to be straight uphill and we would all have to walk. YIKES - and for the record I did have to walk half of it!

Yes...this is the hill.




I have to say, this was the prettiest race bib I have ever received.


But.....if lost in a ditch, please contact Todd.


We were all ready for the race - never mind that we were running at 9300 feet.



Crossing the finish line...




Way to Rock the 5k Stacey!



The free beer at the end of the race tasted great!


Thanks Todd for being a wonderful Daddy all weekend long. I promise I am not laughing at him, but I am laughing with him. I have to document these two stories.
1. Saturday Todd had to take the boys to a birthday party at Monkey Bizness. I had purchased the present, wrapped it, and placed it by the garage door. Unfortunately the present never made it to the party. Fortunately, the birthday boy lives nearby and Todd was able to drop it off later.
2. Sunday Todd decided to take the boys to the Zoo. In the rush to get out the door, Payson loaded himself into the car. When Todd arrived at the zoo and went to get Payson out of the car, he THEN realzed that Payson had no shoes on. Thank goodness the zoo gift shop sells shoes. I was shocked, but they do!

Ok....I could not really do a post without the boys. Payson can really make Dillon laugh. Check out this quick video!

Dillon's 2nd Word...So cute!

The 4th of July Question is....Not what we did, but what we didn't do!

A man after my own heart - he loves the candy store in the mountains!

Payson and I went on a date to see Cars 2 in 3D - pretty cool!



Just chillin' with Dillon in the hamock!




When needing a nap, just curl up in the wagon!

Wow - what a wild and crazy four day weekend! We had so much fun - Todd had Friday off and after a 9 month dr. appointment for DIllon he and the boys headed to Keystone. I had 48 hours to relax, watch movies, clean the house, and attend a friend's wedding. After the wedding I headed up to join the boys in Keystone. In Keystone we went out on the paddle boats, played by the river, tried to fish, and RELAXED.

Wow - somehow we did not get the memo that we were not invited to the Royal wedding, but instead to Paul and Sara's. Oh well, big hats were necessary!

At the pool or in the backyard....we love water!

As the heat continues, we are loving our time spent in the water. When Payson was enjoying running through the sprinkler, we brought the rubber ducky out for Dillon. Check out the pics - do you think he enjoyed it???



My favorite part of swimming, is how tired it makes everyone. There is no way you can look at these pictures and not feel relaxed! Notice the bottle that he barely finished before he fell asleep.
