5k and a Sprint

Brent and I both ran our first race this past weekend. We participated in the Fun Run for Charities in Rocky Mount. I ran the 5k and Brent ran the kid's sprint. I have been training for a couple months now and Brent just runs all the time anyways. It was a lot of fun and I reached my goal of running the whole race without stopping. The best part was watching Brent race. So cute! and he loved it!


This was right before I crossed the finish line. I promise I was a lot more tired than I look.

I was pretty happy with this time considering it usually takes me longer when I run at home.

8 Crayola Moms ran the race. I came in 3rd out of the 8.

After they blew the horn Brent just stood there and looked around while the other kids started running. I had to yell "GO BRENT! RUN!" (he's all the way to the left)

I love the expression on his face. Such a funny little smirk!

A Truck Like Daddy's

We decided that we were going to get Brent a power wheels for his birthday this year. Since his birthday is in September, we wanted to go ahead and get it for him so he could enjoy it all summer long. I thought for sure that my little boy would want one of those John Deere tractors. But when I took him to the store a month ago to show them to him he was dead set on a truck like Daddy's. So, this weekend, that's what he got. And he is in love! He drove it for 2 solid hours today until the battery finally died. He is acutally a lot better at driving it than I thought too. He drove into the fence, a bush, and his tricycle, but other than that, he mostly just drove around in circles:)
