Our first few days of RR

Our first few days of RR...wow, looking back I should have written all of it down because we did so much in 2 short weeks.

First, Jon and I were able to stay in an amazing hotel on the riverwalk, just him and I for the first 2 nights. The Hotel Contessa, very swank:) We got up and ran along the river the first morning, then we came over to his folks home, and got in some good Daddy/Noah time.

Then...we cut the boys hair. I was almost sure he would hate the clippers...but he did amazing, he even made the buzzzzzz sound whilst we buzzed.
We loved his new do!

We also went to the WildLife Ranch a few days later.
It ended up being a huge disappointment for me bc I have been there and seen so many animals, but when we went the only animals we saw were the freaky ostriches and all the deer type animals. So, the petting zoo was the most exciting part of that trip. And Noah again, surprised us all.
He LOVED the lil goats and definitely was not scared of feeding them.

Since Jon is a big runner, I found 5K fun run through our church that we could do. I told him he could either run/walk with me and Noah or he could try to run it to win it. So, he opted to win. And he came in 2nd place...(the guy that won was a beast!...and Jon thought the whole time he was running that the guy was just working for the run, he didnt even know he was competition). Shannon was gracious enough to run along side me and help push the boy whilst I tried to run/walk. She coached me through and we had a good time.

yes, this is us after running/walking 3 miles...notice Im the reddest one of the group! LOL

The run was the same day we had a huge family event. Jon's Uncle Mark came in with his son from Dallas and we had lunch and the boys played...his cousin taught him how to play lacrosse and Uncle Mark, Jon and Mark juggled in the front yard. I, sadly, do not have pictures of those on this computer...I will try to post some later if I can. Then, we had a huge party for Jon at a great BBQ place down the road. So many great peeps came. And, of course...I didn't take a single picture..but I think Jon's parents did..so I will get those on here soon too. We had a great turn out, and I was even able to raise some money for his unit.


More to come..I think that's a good amount for now...
