Christmas 2008

Everyone gathered at our house on Christmas Eve. Leilani couldn't make it because she was with her mommy, but Daddy Jose came. We had our traditional pizza dinner & opened presents. On Christmas morning Dad, Mickey & I opened our Christmas stockings.

Loma Linda Holiday Classic 5K - 12-7-08

This race has 4 divisions and I entered the 5k Walk. They separate the walk vs. run so if you're in the walk division, you're not allowed to run at all. I had my best time of 40:23, then a few hours after I got home I decided to check my stats online. I came in 2nd in my age division! WHA? Must be a misprint! Guess it pays to be old and to walk only! I even get a separate medal for placing. I placed 4th overall out of 77 total walkers. I know, small group, but still kinda fun. Please excuse my bragging, but this was pretty encouraging. When you're "only a walker", you don't usually have a chance at any placement or special accomplishment.

A Ride on the Polar Express!

On Dec. 4th I went with the Semmens family and Grandma Karen to Williams, AZ to take a ride to the North Pole on the Polar Express! We stayed at the Grand Canyon Railway Resort. A looooooong drive to Williams, but it was a memorable trip, and fun for the kiddos!
