chillin in milwaukee

so our child (thanks to a fridge magnet at erin and drew's house) is obsessed with the empire state building and King King (or king kon - as carlos is wont to say). well, now we've got our very own version of it in the form of legos. pretty cool.
this is my skinny husband (say happy birthday! today he's 45!!!) and his lovely sister, the most awesome, jessie :)we're off to North Beach Snack Bar for dinner and then to watch the bike races in Shorewood :)

5K in Hartland Wisconsin

here i am finishing the 5K in Run to the Peak in Hartland WI. I figured it'd be fun to run a race on my birthday :) I am so proud of myself because i ran the race in 34 (plus some) minutes - and my last race was 38 minutes. Not only that, but there was a nice sized hill in the course as well and my lungs didn't even explode!

thanks to the heart rate monitor adam got me for my birthday i was able to pace myself without injury.

now it's the day after and my legs are only a little tiny bit sore! yeehaaaaa

Water Dance

Can he be any more adorable?

 

Salad and Cheese Sandwich for lunch

For some reason the boy asked for a "Salad and Cheese sandwich.  This from someone who won't eat a piece of pizza that has a speck of green on it.  He insisted, took a bite and asked me to take the mayo off!  Then said he didn't like it so went back to his pepperoni pizza.  No vegetarian here!

MusicAlive!

Musicalive! has been fantastic all week, Heidi is such a ham!  

Jumping in the Deep End!

You can't force him to learn to swim or jump into the deep end of the pool, but when he works up to it you just have to be in the right place at the right time.  He has never had a formal lesson nor will he listen to us teach him to swim; he simply watches, tries things on his own and eventually gets it.  I hope learning to read works the same way!!
