Challenges

Ok, so it's still January and I am still doing this photo challenge.  For those who haven't seen on Facebook, my daily pic updates, they are on here.  =)  

We have had an extra child in the house for about a lil over a week, going on week 2.  His mother and father are up at OKC hospital, the mom was 34 weeks pregnant and she got preeclampsia so they had to take the baby out.  The baby and mother are both fine, but have to stay up there for a little while, so we were more than happy to help wherever we could.  Besides, it's Mason's best friend, so can't go wrong.  They got to spend LOTS of time together and are probably getting sick of each other, lol, but they get along great and Robbie (the boy staying with us), is a pretty awesome kid, so no complaints here!!!  It's been fun for me too, because I get to show them what a real Air Hockey champion looks like..  Ha!  They try daily to beat me and it's just not happening..  That's right, this mama is awesome!! =)

Maddie had a school Spelling Bee challenge, and she and another boy are the winner's.  Man, it went back and forth between the two of them, after kids fell away like dominos, one right after another.  The boy would get it wrong and then Maddie would get it right.  Then vice versa.  Finally at the end, the boy won, and Maddie came out Runner Up, which the school needed two winners, so she is a WINNER no matter what...  It was so thrilling, and I was so nervous for her, I nearly had a panic attack.  Lol.  Here is a video of one of her words..

We also had our St. Barbara's Day Ball on the 11th.  I enjoyed getting prettied up and looking all snazzy with my hubs.  However, with all the running I am doing now, I have really nothing to "hold my dress up" so I had to keep picking it up.  =/  Oh well.  Not going to stop me from running.  Oh, and a wife friend, challenged me at the ball, to run in the OKC Memorial Marathon with her.  Not the full but the half.  So I am prepping myself and am kind of getting excited about the thought of doing that.  I already did a 5k, and a 10k (on my own), so what's 13.1 miles....?  Ha.  I am guess I will see in April!!  I have time to train harder then I am already.  Hopefully I will fulfill this challenge and NOT chicken out.  Pray for me =)

So here are some more pics, from the photo a day, and our ball.  And maybe a few miscellaneous one's as well.  Hope this email finds all well.  Love to all
