Another 2.5 miles

completed. I ran at the skating arena again. My goal was to do 3 but I just could not get myself to do it. It is so boring running around in a circle not to mention hard concrete and cold. Hopefully the weather will break here and I can run my usual 4 miles on my usual course. Can't stop there or I'll never make it back home! If I can at least get running outside and get back up to my usual 4 mile workout then I can actually consider upping my distance and signing up for the Bmaker!

To the moon!

Schyler and I were bored most of our spring break vacation. The weather was horrible all week except for one day, it got up to about 45 degs. We decided to tough out the cold anyway and got out her moon shoes she got for Christmas. This is her first try with them. I was laughing so hard I could barely take pictures. We had a lot of fun!!

2 more under my belt. . .

miles that is. I ran 2 more miles why Schyler was taking a ice skating lesson. I felt ok, hate running in the arena because it's so boring and I pretty much stop after 2 but the weather is horrible and it's miles!

A new member. . .

of the family. His name is Pepper. Schyler was really wanting a pet of her own that she can take care of and be "responsible" (her terms). Here's a recap:
Schyler: Can I have a monkey?
Mom: LOL no
Schyler: Can I have a chicken?
Mom: no
Schyler: Can I have a camillon(sp?)
Mom: eew you no I don't like reptiles!
Schyler: How about a hamster
Mom: nope I don't like rodents either
Schyler: Ok how about a fish
Mom: There ya go!

So the Easter Bunny got her a little aquarium and she bought Pepper along with some food with her Easter money as well.



The next conversation - Schyler: Mom, I think I got a really good fish.
Mom: Why do you think that?
Schyler: Well, he really likes people. When I put my finger near his tank he comes right over to see me. He's very friendly.
Mom: Well good I'm glad you got a nice friendly fish.


Better than having a mean perona like fish right?!

Drama Queen!

Work it girl! This is what I got when I broke the news to her . . . time to practice your multiplication LOL! She got a 100 on her effort and acting skills but we still need to practice her math ;o)

Yes, mom's still watching!

still not working!

I finally got a chance to run again! Boilermaker is looking like another goal again that isn't going to happen. I was able to run at the skating arena while Schyler was taking her lesson. So I have 2 more miles under my belt.

Fantasy on Ice 2007 - Ice Heist

Life is finally getting a little back to normal. The ice show has ended - 4 shows in 3 days. Jeremy Abbott was great as usual. He was our guest skater again. He is such a nice kid and great skater. Good luck in 2010 Olympics Jeremy!

My egyptian princess! Her group was Egypt in the show and they loved their costumes. The girls weren't happy about the song but all the moms loved it - "Walk Like an Egyptian" - the girls wouldn't understand it's from the 80's ;0)

I know these aren't the greatest pictures, but they were the best I had gotten. Shooting in the arena with it well lit is hard enough so turn off the lights and use spot lights and try and get a decent shot LOL

After 4 shows of doing this Schyler's shoulders were really soar.

We were pretty happy with their routine this year. The choreography was really good, the costumes were great and the song was awesome. Congratulations girls! Now that the show is over and we have been there all week, back to the real life. We have Monday off and we're back to the arena on Tuedsay for Spring Skate.
