Its darn cold out

Funny how your body changes.  Seems like just 2 weeks ago it was 70-80 degrees and now it's 50 degrees.  That just feels so darn chilly to me.  But yet, when it was in the 30's, 50 would feel so warm.  But now that it's May, 50 doesn't feel warm and recently we've had several overcast days in a row of 50 degree temps and rain.  It's been so dreary.

So with Memorial weekend literally 20 or so days away, I wonder will we be warm enough to actually go to the pool.  And speaking of warm, I haven't even planted my garden yet.  I won't get tomatoes till July or August this year if I'm lucky. 

Come on Sun!!!  Come back...we need you!!

2 more

So here's our 2 new additions to our family. 

We haven't decided on their names yet but the black and white one is a boy and the grey and white one is a girl.

Step Sisters Ribbon Run 5K

I love running this race.  It's means so much to me and this year, was special because my son and sister ran it with me.  This year they changed up the race course which was completely different and challenging.  It was a nice run, but there were hills and we ran through a tunnel which was fun.  Another challenge was keeping My "survivor" sash from falling off my shoulder.  I guess I should figure out a better way to keep it on while I run.  And my goal next year again is to actually run the race with Cody.  So we can cross the finish line together!

Sisters!

Whoo-hoo!

Cody's just about to finish (little guy in yellow)

Just crossed the finish line

Go Wendy!!

Cody won a prize

 Each of us had a raffle ticket attached to the race bib.  And they actually called Cody's number which was so awesome! 

A Great Mission

Cody and his medal

3rd place

Cody got 3rd place in his age group.  He ran the race in 29 min 57 seconds.  We were so proud of him.

I AM MY OWN HERO!

I ran the race in 34 min 56 seconds.  Not my best but certainly not the worst.  I'm proud of myself and will continue to run this race. 

OUR RACE BIBS!

47 days till SUMMER!!!

I heard it with my own ears this morning.  The weather forecaster said although it's super cold in the morning for April (32 degrees = brrr) Summer is just 47 days away.  And to that I say THANK YOU!

Super cold and WINDY!

Thank goodness Cody's lacrosse game is only 1 hour.  It was so cold and windy out that I don't think I could have made it more than that.  And thank goodness for CuddlDuds that kept me extra warm out there.  Seriously, my noise and fingers were chilly but my legs and body were fine!

Where's the warm weather???

Brrr it's cold out!

Friday temps rose to almost 80 degrees.  Saturday was rainy and cool but eventually got sunny and nice.  I wasn't wearing shorts but Cody was since he was outside playing with his friends.  But last night the winds picked up in full force.  It was so windy and loud outside.  Cody was getting a little nervous about it but we assured everything was going to be okay.

So this morning it's chilly!!!  What happened to those beautiful 80's?  Come back!  Working a little bit in the yard yesterday makes me so excited about the upcoming flowers and garden that's on the horizon.  It's April 3rd for goodness sakes.  Let's get this party started!!  Go away cold weather!

Spring is here!!!

I am overly excited!  Spring is here.  The flowers are blooming, the sky is blue and the grass is green.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE SUMMER but I got to admit, this is pretty.
