Celebrating Birthdays - May

Lizzy turned 9 and Alex turned 6… they are growing up way too fast.  Alex’s party was themed Lego’s Ninjago and the kids had a blast, especially with this pinata.  Here’s Alex & Joey trying their best to kill that pinata!

After all the kids had a turn beating the pinata, it was a mad dive for all the candy.

This is the very creative cake that Jessica made… so talented!!

Lizzy had her birthday party with her friends the day before, so they joined us in the afternoon for the family celebration.

Girls Gone Wild Party–February 18, 2017

These lovely ladies are my long time partners in crime.  The last time we got together we got quite VERY crazy!!  This time we toned it down just a little and had a fantastic get together.

Of course the pups are always included in our fun.

These yummy desserts were so big we had to cut them in half and we enjoyed every last bite!

Before my visit with the girls, I surprised my Auntie Jean with an unplanned visit.  It was so good to see her again... you're great Auntie Jean, I love you!  XOXOXOX

Babysitting in May

We watched the kids for a few days because Pami was in Hawaii working (or so she called it, hee-hee).  Although Mike stayed home because he had to work, we went to help out.  We stayed busy with the kids and had a great time.  They wore me out between soccer, chase, tag, and the Wii.

Of course we had to do a craft!  Flowers for their teachers.

Charlie sleeps in the funniest positions!

Lizzy thought this was very funny (poor Papa)!!

One day when the kids were at school, we had a couple of hours so we snuck in a super quick visit with some friends.  Graham was here from England visiting mutual friends in Santa Clara and we were lucky enough to see him.  Although it was short, it was a great visit.

After that, we had a nice lunch with Hank’s Dad and Ida.  Then it was back to pick up the kids from school.

Kaia Korner

We always pack the house on Saturday Power Hour classes. This day in February we had over 50 people working their booties off.

Here I am holding a plank at the Re-Grand Opening celebration (new location) on March 25th.   We had over 80 people participate in the workout and festivities.

Run Rocklin 5K, 10K, & Half Marathon Races
April 2, 2017

Several of the Kaia girls ran in this race and we represented Kaia FIT Roseville well.  Michele earned 1st place in her age group in the half marathon, I got 1st place in the 5K and Karen got 2nd place in the 5K in our age group.
This is my third official 5K race and I’ve earned 1st place in my age group in two of thoses races (the other race I came in 5th)!  Considering I’m not a runner, I was very excited to even place!

 

Here are my stats from the race.

So great to see that Finish banner and to survive the race!!

Karen & I were so excited for placing 1st and 2nd we were jumping up and down with glee.

After the race several of us girls went to a brunch to honor Michele, who was going to run in the Boston Marathon on April 17.  She was so strong and completed the marathon, we were all so proud of her.
