Mommy's Run

Saturday morning was race day for Mommy!   She and a few friends did the "Grin and Bear It" race in Harrisonville.  Daddy, Grandma Collins & the boys met us there, as it was freezing -- 41 degrees when we arrived at the race (not the weather we were hoping for)!  Mommy has two great friends in the neighborhood who walk/run every morning at 5:00am!  Mommy's goal was to simply cross the finish line upright and still running.  We all did great, and finished with a time of 26:55, which means we ran 8:40 miles.  We all went home with a medal, and Mommy was 2nd in her age group.   What a fun race day!

Mommy's biggest fans!

Where is Mommy?  It is cold out here!

Mommy's friends really "kicked it in" at the end!

We did it!

Cute sign the neighbor girls made and put in front of each of our houses!

Breakfast out -- the best part! 
Sawyer really liked Mommy's medal.
