Mr. Balloon Man!

Eric never ceases to amaze me....He has all kinds of hidden talents up his sleeves!
Balloon Pro, Balloon Man, Balloon Twister, Balloon Artist
Whatever you wana call him. Noah, Pace, Kyra, and Cade all got to enjoy Eric twisting balloons for them.  This was a first for all of us.  Noah got a motorcycle, Pace got a monkey, Kyra got a teddy bear, Cade got a dog.
From what I hear, Eric did balloon twisting at restaurants way back in the day.  This was his job throughout High school.  He said it made pretty dang good money, and that's all that counts:)  Right?


My kids are so lucky to have an Uncle like him!  He is great!  Eric taught Noah how to make a lizard.
Eric didn't forget about us girls...He twisted me a heart with 2 love birds and Beth got a pretty flower.
The kids also got swords & parrots.  Kyra's sword was purple, how cute is that!!!

Pat's Run.

This is my second year to participate in Pat's run. I really enjoy this race. If you don't know much about the race you can read who Pat Tillman is by going to this link patsrun.com. There were so many people this year, a record of 20640. It was like running in a mosh pit, shoulder to shoulder full of people running down the road. We managed to get around, but I'm pretty sure they thought we were rude. Even though Beth and I had a hard time keeping our pace. I was still able to finish with a 36:49. Which for me, is a good time.
I hate this picture, but it was the only one of us two together. I look fat standing next to Beth, and my glasses are all crooked.
I ran this race with my sister again. She is seriously so fun to run with, someone I look up to and want to be like one day! Maybe I will get there, just maybe...I say this cause she runs a 7 1/2 minute mile. That is something to definitely brag about!
This is Beth & Eric after the race. This was Eric's 1st time running Pat's run. He said he loved it:)
This is what happens when you don't have running shoes...Eric forgot to get his running shoes out of Carrie's car before she left to California for the weekend:( Man that stinks!! Eric was a trooper and still ran it.
