Race for the Cure

On May 9Th, we did Race for the Cure again. Here we are in the parking lot waiting for some of Tabitha's other team members.

Yep The Third is there he is just a little camera shy...nothing Grandma can't handle ;o)
Well right off the bat we lose everyone...Tabitha was waiting for someone else, Tatem was feeling sick, so Grandpa, The Third and I headed over to get our bags...but then we waited and waited...I gave TB my phone so she could call us to find us...well Tim didn't have his, so he went looking for a professor he saw working to see if he could borrow hers...while me and The Third waiting for them at the bag place....look at all these people how on earth could you find someone if you didn't have a phone??
View number 2

And we are off!!

Looking good lots of people still behind us!!!

Tatem did real well started to tucker out after about 2 miles....

Grandpa, The Third and Mommy...should we run???

Tatem having fun riding on everyone;o) No problem...it's a better workout. As long as she is not choking you to death ;o)

We are on the left hand side of this picture...as you can see Tatem is walking we are near the finish line and she wanted to walk or run a crossed it!

The Third and Grandpa left us in the dust a long time ago, so it is just the 5 of us...#5 is Tabitha's friend and for the life of me I can't remember her name...sorry ;o(Once again we are more to the left hand side of the picture, but kinda in the middle
Ok we crossed the finish line and then went to find Grandpa and the Third...then I see the clock and had to take a picture of it....we guesstimate that we cross it somewhere around 52 or 53 minutes...not bad time with a three year old walking or running most of the way!! The Third and Grandpa did it in 47-48 ish they said...once again not bad for a 6 year old walking and running all the way!!!

This year since we didn't have to wait 1/2 hour plus in the bathroom line in the middle of the race we came in way before a lot of people!!! This is a picture of them still coming in after we were done! Time for a well deserved treat!!

We lost Aunt Tabitha....oh wait there she is....what a crowd!

The third writing his mom and I love you note....sorry it didn't show up as good as I hoped.

My walking and running mates!!! I thought I put the picture with Tabitha's friend in here also but can't find it now.

We went out to lunch (for mother's day) right after....(Terriebeth was going to her in laws for Mothers Day). Tatem hiding under the table. She is not tired or anything ;o)

The Third under the table, what a great picture ;o)

Tatem looking out the window. Any thing to stay awake

The Third playing with my necklace box...it makes a good car, train , truck...the waiter even sat down and played with him for a second ;o) (Tatem kept winking at him )

Funny here is another family picture...maybe we will run across the one with her friend soon.
