Maya’s 1st race!

Monday, October 12th, 2009

We did Abby’s Run Sunday morning.  Dustin pushed Maya in the jogging stroller while we ran the 5k.  Of course Dustin still beat me by 5 minutes even pushing the stroller!  In my defense, I did hurt my back after mile 2 and could hardly finish, I’m sure I would’ve beat them if that hadn’t happened.  right…

Griffin & Kate ran along side Maya to help her with her 1st tot trot!

She loved her race, all day she kept saying, “Maya run!”

Maya won her division (to be fair she did have an advantage since she’s almost 2 but ran with the 1 year olds).  A lady from the KC Star was there and took down Maya’s info so maybe we’ll see her name in the paper!

Kate ran with the other 8 year olds and she was towards the front as well!  Good job Kate!

Party!

Sylvie’s daddy had a birthday party Saturday night and they had some of us up for chili.  We had a great time.

Dustin found an awesome pumpkin patch to take Maya to on Sunday.  Its called Johnson Farms 15 min. south of where we live.

Hay ride out to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins!

Nichole & Sylvie came down from St. Jo to meet us for Kindermusik, pizza and playing at Loose Park.  Here are the girls eating a snack.

Sylvie liked to push Maya on the swing.

We took Aunt Brie out to breakfast on her birthday.  Maya spotted the horses in the water while walking to The Classic Cup so we had to take a detour.

Lilli!

Saturday evening we went over to Lilli’s house.  We had a nice dinner and played outside at Dawndy’s and over at Grandma Rosie’s in the water and sand.

Grandma Rosie put up Maya’s swing in her new arbor and the girls were thrilled to take turns going fast!

Jumping in Lilli’s bouncy house!

Hugs!

Grandma J’s house

We spent last weekend in Tipton, IA at Grandma’s house.  Maya had lots of fun riding on the lawn mower with Grandma.

We had a nice visit with Carol at a coffee shop in town.

Grandma has horses in her barn which Maya had to see every time we came home or left.

More meow’s!

Swinging with daddy!

Bye Bye Grandma’s house!

Sweet Griffin holding his new baby sister Olivia.  She’s one month old now!

Everyone wants to hold the baby at the same time.  So here’s the compromise.  Good looking bunch!

Penguin Park!

Aunt Brie & I took Maya to Penguin Park on Labor Day.

There’s a slide inside this kangaroo that Maya loved to go down.

The highlight of every park, the drinking fountain.

Big slide!
