a week in pa... it's never long enough!

 before moving, i had to take the opportunity to visit my family in Pa (being only a 4 hour drive!)... i actually had this week already planned to visit Emily and help her organize her house! WE HAD A BLAST and did AMAZING work on her house!! and the cousin's got to play!

Tuesday night we hit the Body Boot Camp at the YMCA in Denver... and we lived through it :)

 M and C... chillin'

 WILL... what a stud! Before taking this picture, i said... "Wow, Will... you look like a Mini-Justin!" he walks away after i took the picture... and said... "Mini-Justin?" and Caitlin comes in and said... "Yeah... you know... Justin Bieber!!"

 cousins... Will, Caitlin, Micah, Enoch, Isaac, Brinley, Ada

 Em and I donating a TON of clothes we cleaned out of her house... ahhhh, what a good feeling!

 Sua's getting into to the action...

 5k race... runnin' with the Chick-fil-a team... cause that's how we roll! (BEST surprise EVER... Jdawg drove up to see me run across the finish line... i actually spotted him as we started the race. What a darling Hubby i have!)

 Grammy and Papa ended "Grammy CAMP" by taking the kids to see BRAVE! (they painted these Angry Bird shirts!)

 so cute...

 Auntie Shelly being silly!

 Pepper's such a good sport...

 At Amy and Kevin's new place... checking it out!

 Caitlin and Will wanted to check out these "crops"...

body movin'...

Yesterday was the last day (of the first session) of Gymnastics! it's been an awesome 8 weeks! I've enjoyed taking Caitlin, Sydney and Claire after school... what a fun program they have a River City Youth Fitness! Caitlin LOVED it!
Victory stance!

Today Brinley and Mommy headed over to the school to watch Caitlin run in her P.E. Success Week 6 minute race! Cheering section...
Pre-race excitement...

good stretch before the race... ahhh!
:) beautiful day to be at a race!! Brinley kept saying, "I'm scared. I'm scared." I told her school is a FUN and HAPPY place! she was not so sure... she's so funny.
Look at my little Cheetah run!!
with each lap they grabbed a Popsicle stick to show how many times they went around!
5 1/4 laps! GREAT JOB BUG!
After she finished, she looked at me and said, "Mom! I ran the race just like you did!" That pretty much made my day! It brings me so much joy knowing that she was happy to be doing something that i enjoy doing, also. (and setting a postive example for my girl to take care of her body is like the ultimate 'yeee-hawww' of the day!)
class picture! Caitlin is in the back row, 2nd in from the Right!
After the race, i walked Caitlin back to her teacher and just then Will's class was getting ready to head to the lunch room! Brinley and I surprised him and sat with him for lunch!


...not scared of school anymore!
What a joy to be with my sweet children during the day!
