My Mommy Is Amazing!

Marathon number 2 - COMPLETE!


Last weekend, my mommy ran in the Women's San Francisco Marathon. She has been working and traveling a lot lately, so she did not train much at all for the race, I don't remember a single run in the last month. You could say she was well rested. But she did great anyway! The first half of the race was perfect conditions for the runners - cool, cloudy, and mommy had a pace well ahead of her first marathon pace, but then the rain came, and then the blisters - OUCH!

This was the only picture daddy managed to take before his phone's battery died. We saw mommy right after this (at the 11 mile mark), so she is probably in this picture (somewhere in the background).


After we saw mommy, I was ready to go home, but daddy said mommy needed to run a little further, so we went to the store to get some snacks and some chocolate milk. We found a good spot near the finish line and settled in to eat our snacks and watch the rest of the race, but then the rain came and the cold.

We had to get up really early in the morning to make it to the race. I was pretty tired after chasing mommy around the race course all morning, so I decided to take a nap, but since it was raining and daddy forgot the stroller, chairs and the umbrella I had no where to sleep. Luckily my nice daddy held me for my 2 hour nap (hours 3 - 5 of mommy's marathon). Daddy sat down on a curb while I slept. I guess we looked pretty pitiful, because these nice ladies kept giving daddy stuff to keep us warm and dry. This one lady gave us an extra poncho she wasn't using, and another 1/2 marathoner gave us her post race heat blanket, daddy wrapped that around me during my nap, and it kept me nice and toasty.

Daddy thinks the prize at the end was the only thing that pushed mommy to finish the race...

Congratulations MOMMY!

I Love October!

Football, Playoff Baseball, Halloween, and Pumpkins!

During my recent trip to Atlanta, I was able to see a lot of my friends and family. I was glad I got to see everyone. I saw all my grandparents, my cousin McKenzie, my Uncle Kris, and some of my Atlanta friends. We were also able to go to the Georgia Tech homecoming game.

On Monday, I also was able to go to a pumpkin patch with some of my friends, for some pictures, Mommy and Daddy didn't want to take any pumpkins on the plane, so no pumpkins for me.

This is my new friend Campbell, Keifer's Sister, she is much more active than the last time I saw her.

Here are all my buddies with our pumpkins.

Just the boys.

Jet Setting

I have been on the move for the last several weeks, and I have determined 1 thing, airports drive me crazy!



But, sometimes if the pilot is late, you get an invitation to sit in his seat.



I think there was some kind of mistake, because I was really upset when I found out I wasn't actually flying the plane, but it was for the best, I took a good nap on the flight, and the pilot did a good job.

My First Disney Trip!

WOW! I never knew Mickey had a California house - Disneyland. We went to visit him and all his friends, a couple weeks ago, and it was FUN! Everyone had a muy bueno time!

We saw Mickey and all his buddies, I saw some other kids that were scared of Mickey and his friends, but not me!


Note: Mickey doesn't have any teeth!

Goofy is tall.


Pluto is very friendly.


We rode lots of rides.
The Pinocchio ride, it was a little scary, especially Monstro!


The tea cups were fun, we went around and around.


Daddy and I drove the race cars, I did the steering, and Daddy controlled the gas pedal. You have to keep your eyes on the road.

And you have to hit the merry-go-round.

And saw lots of sights:


I was pretty tired in this picture, but this was one of my favorite things to do while I was there. If there was any break in the action, I wanted to go see the Castle. So we went there several times.


Mommy and Daddy say there is another place to visit called Disney World in Orlando. I am trying to convince them that we need to go there so I can compare the two. Wish me luck!

A Busy Month

Lo siento to all my avid readers out there, Mommy and Daddy have kept me really busy for the last month, so not many posts.

Going back a little while, here are some more of my favorite memories from our trip to Minnesota last month. I really liked seeing my Grand Parents, going fishing, and seeing all the animals. I had a lot of fun!



We saw all kinds of wild life.

Chipmunks and Squirls:


Lots of birds:


Even bats!


We also saw raccoons, deer, ducks, geese, mice, and lots of other animals.

And we caught lots of fish. Mommy really liked holding the fish!



I really liked the bobbers!


I can't wait to go back next year.

Time For A Little Workout

I usually don't like to show off, but Daddy thought it would be fun to post one of my workouts. This is my dead lift workout, I am mainly working on my form here, but it is still pretty tiring.

Here are two of my best sets:

Fishing is Fun!

Perhaps in the past, a little perch might have satisified my call to fishing - but this year...I wanted MORE. A big one. THE BIG ONE!

Mission accomplished! A gigantic Norther Pike. Matter a fact, I hit the weight limit of my spiderman reel with this sucker!


My fishing companions have racked up as well:

Jonas:
1 Northern Pike (21”)

Mommy:
1 Walleye (16”)

Daddy:
2 Northern Pike (21”, 23”)
1 Dogfish (21”) - 1st one on record. That is one 'scabby' fish!

1 Perch (6”)

Grandbob:
1 Bass
1 Blue Gill
2 Northern Pike

Grandma:
We are still trying to get her in the boat.
