HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY BRIGGS!!

Happy Birthday to my nephew Briggs (actually my great nephew but that is just hard for me to come to grips with)! Most of you know that I am the youngest of 4 girls. Shelbie is my oldest sister's daughter and she has a son that is celebrating his 1st birthday! We traveled back to Dodge City over spring break to attend his party. My niece Shelbie, Briggs' mother, made his cake. I had no idea she had that kind of talent.

Finally a picture with Shelbie's husband Daniel in it. Briggs is riding the bull his Uncle Isaac gave him. (Isaac is Shelbie's brother)

Keylee had to take a turn on the rocking bull with Isaac, to her right, giving her some riding instructions.

Dave and Buster's

We were lucky to see Joe's brother, James, over spring break. James traveled to Kansas City and we took a quick road trip to meet him for dinner at Dave and Buster's. We had a great time eating and playing games. It was great to see James!

First the food. . . Then the games (Joe and Keenan)

Final Wrestling Tournament of the Year

My sister and her son Gage were able to go to Champman and see Keenan's last wrestling tournament a couple weekends ago.

Vist From Aunt Tam Tam

My sister and her dog, Lexus, came for a visit a few weekends ago. The kids always love it when she comes and it was nice for Joe and I as we were able to go bowling and have dinner with friends.

Chicago Marathon 2010: registration complete and flight booked I have decided to run the Chicago Marathon. I have wanted to run for quite some time but have always decided against it due to the fact that it is in October, which happens to be football season. (Yes, I am aware it is football season in October) I have managed to talk one friend into running it and two others to come along for the other great things Chicago has to offer (theater dinning and shopping). Joe still questions why I would want to run another marathon and I told him it is not that I want to run another marathon it is that I want to run the Chicago Marathon. It is going to be a great run and it happens to fall on 10-10-10! How cool is that??
