The Color Run!

After experiencing the fun of the Glow Run - I thought it would be fun to do another similar 5K - only this time add more family members.  So I recruited my mom, sisters, nieces and the boys to do the Color Run.  Holy smokes was it CRAZY!!  There were WAY more people there than the Glow Run (and there was another run at 1:00).  The race was to start at 9:00 am, however we were towards the tail end of the line - so we didn't get to go thru the start line until 10:00 am.  The mob was so big it was hard to run - so we would walk - but then if you walked you almost got trampled on.  It was a challenge.  Along the course they had color stations where they would spray you with color (it was colored cornstarch).  There was blue, orange, yellow and pink.  Once you crossed the finish line you could take your packet of color and go out with the rest of the runners who had finished and throw up your color to get even more colorful.  We did get colorful and dirty - not as bad as some!  It was fun.  I think the boys had a lot of fun and I was so proud of them for doing it!  Here are some pictures of our crazy, fun day!




 
The boys ready to go!  (they had the bandanas to cover their faces with - they also wore goggles for awhile)

This is just view of all the people who were there!



This was one of the color stations - yellow!!  You would run thru it while people would "squirt" you with color.  You didn't really want to take a breath while running thru this!





 
Here we are at the end! 
 
 



 
This was the color packet party!  It was crazy yet cool all at the same time!




 
The boys and I at the end!

    I must say this is pretty cool and TJ would've LOVED being sprayed with all the different colors! I can hear him ... "Can we do that again" LOL
    Looks like you all had fun!

Grieving Still

I love to read other people's blogs.  Sometimes I get neat ideas from them or at other times it's just fun to hear what is going on in that particular family.  I few months after TJ passed away I received an email from a friend of the family's to check out a certain blog.  This particular family had just lost their 15 year old son to pancreatic cancer.  I decided to go back to their caringbridge page to read more about their journey.  There were some similarities and some major differences, however, we have both experienced the loss of our sons WAY too early.  I love to read her blog because I can totally relate with her.  I almost feel as if everything she shares are my feelings as well.  She shared something on her blog the other day (something someone else had shared with her) and I hope you all don't take this the wrong way, (I'm sorry in advance) but  Our transition is still a grieving one. They are SPOT ON! I thought I’d share them with you. I’ve heard it a th

Welcome

Welcome to our blog!  This has been more work than I thought it was going to be and I still have more work to do.  I think I'll just keep working on it a little bit at a time until I get it the way I want - SO it might look different every time you check it out.  Who knows!  I thought I'd create a blog for you to keep up with us instead of checking on caringbridge everytime.  I don't know how often I will update.  Just know that I will be sharing our life with you as it is without TJ.  Some topics might be just the everyday things our family is experiencing - school, holidays, vacations, etc.  And at other times I might be sharing my heart.  Follow along if you wish to know how we are doing, what we are doing and ways you can pray for our family.  See you soon!

The Basement Reveal!

Image
This post is long overdue - pictures of the basement.  We have since added the boys beds, living room furniture and toys.  There are still a few more things yet to bring in, buy or add - but for the most part it is DONE and we are enjoying it!  Still have to put up some trim in the entry way and living room  The upstairs bathroom needs to be finished and putting the office and now spare room back together.  Otherwise our project should be finished.  It seems like it has been a process - but it sure is nice - so glad we were able to do it!    The stairway down - we opened up the stairway two stairs.  Need the railing back on yet.       The hallway between the bedrooms, bathroom and laundry room.     The family room - this side has the tv, and furniture.  I didn't take a picture of the other half - that is the toy side.   The laundry room.  Still waiting for a counter top for the south wall.          The bathroom.
