Jos, my little photographer

Another snow day at home with my Jos. We decided to have a photo shoot. I took this one! Now here are some of her works of art!

All of her favorite things!

Very artistic! Always thought we would have an athlete, but maybe she will be an artistic athlete! =)

Besties

This is Josie and my cousin's daughter Presley. They are 6 months apart in age and just love each other. They live in Denver and we see them about twice a year. Jos has a doll named Presley and Pres has one name Josie. The last two times they played they decided they are best friends. I wish we lived closer and they could really be friends! Here they are the first time they met. Christmas 2008.

Frosty the Snowman

Josie's version of Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman was a jolly wholly whops!

I love it, Jeff taught her the correct way to sing it and now she does. Sad........

no surprises this year

This year Jeff and I won't surprise each other with Christmas gifts all because of this little stinker. She told us both what we are getting. That's ok, I like that this will be a Christmas to remember!

on the calendar

Christmas in KS and then again in CO!

Maybe I can try to inspire this little girl!

I was inspired today while watching the Ironman 2010 World Championships. I want to do it! The stories of the people who trained, tried, won, finished, failed were incredible. I love to compete and while I know I will never win it, I want to do it! I have always wanted to go to Hawaii and this would be such a perfect reason.

About this time last year I decided I wanted to run a half marathon. So I went out and ran 2 miles, it sucked and I thought well forget that. I eventually kept at it and in Oct I finished my first half. Now I KNOW I can do ANYTHING I work at. I have fallen in love with running, no it's not easy for me, yes some runs are hard and not fun, but I love it and I always will! So here I sit wanting to do this Ironman! Ask me in a few days after I swim a few a laps and I may have changed my mind. This time though, will be different, I know I can, with a little work do the swim! Oh and I guess I'm gonna need a bike =) So on my calendar for 2011........

Jan 15- Indoor triathlon YMCA Wichita, KS ( 500 meter swim, 6 mile bike, and 2 mile run)

April half marathon (13.1) somewhere in KS

June 5 first full marathon (26.2) in Steamboat Co

Aug 7 Ironman 70.3 in Boulder CO ( 1.2 mile swim, 56 min bike, 13.1 mile run )

I think it is a good place to start.

I WILL do a full IRONMAN!

You Go Girls....... and Boy!

We went back to the Heights Cheer Show this year and totally rocked it out! We did awesome and received a #1 rating for routine. We had the best routine! My "assistant" coach. There to help spot stunts and crowd control! Thank you!

Ready to compete!
