Feet to Feast 5K

Thankgiving the boys and I woke up early and headed out to run the Palm Coast Feet to Feast 5K. We were also joined running by Tracy and Cade and Jake, Baillee and Ben were also there to cheer us on.

The weather was perfect, the scenery was perfect, my run was perfect and watching my boys and friends cross the finish line was even more perfect. It was a great way to start the day being surrounded by people that I am so thankful for.

Also for being thankful that my older boys are starting to enjoy something I love so much. I came in 11th in my age group and 195th out of 539 runners. Bransen came in 435th out of 539 riders and Brayden came in 450th out of 539 riders!

They stopped to view the dolphins on the intracoastal!

Thanksgiving

This year Thanksgiving worked out perfect! We were able to celebrate with Jake's family on Wednesday night. Everyone was able to make it. We all shared a wonderful dinner, lots of laughter and smiles and we even snapped one of the best pictures ever!



Thanksgiving Day we spent with my parents. We watched the Macy's Day parade, ate a early dinner, spent sometime playing outside and enjoying each other's company. And I unfortunately didn't get any pictures of Thanksgiving at our house.  We all left the day with full bellies finished on homemade apple pie!

And we spent the night with some friends too and ended the night with a fire and marshmallows!

Arrival of Santa

Last weekend we took a trip to the Tanger Outlets for the arrival of Santa. A couple was nice enough to offer us there exclusive pass that got us right up to the front of the line. We got to take a picture with Santa, sip on some hot cocoa and eat some sweets. It was a wonderful night to ring in the holiday season!

Jacksonville State Race #1& #2

The Florida State Series Race opened up for the first races of the season held at our very favorite track, Jacksonville!

We traveled up both Saturday and Sunday so that Ben and Bransen could race.

Ben took to the track first in his strider race. All three motos he came in first place, giving him self his first win of the season and a big trophy!

Bransen had a great first moto. He won the moto and transferred right into semis. Unfortunately he didn't have a good run in the semi and not making the top four to transfer to the main. We ended our day late but earlier than others!

Day two, we made the drive back to Jacksonville. With high hopes we were there to perform. Ben again took first place in his race, obtaining another bog trophy! This little guy is literally all smiles on the track. He's Big Ben doing Big Business.

Bransen took to the track in his first moto coming in second and had one more chance to make it to semis. Well he did! He came in first in the moto and transferred to semis. Semi's came. He knoew what he had to do and with a top four finish my boy made his way into the main!

Eight riders in the main fighting for first place. He came out of the gate strong, got over, raced his little heart out and came in with a fourth place finish! We couldn't have been prouder!

Onto next month in Tampa!

Halloween 2019

I didn't take many pictures Halloween night. We went with the Roberts, Ansorges and Johnson's over to SawMill estates. The kids all dressed up. Brayden was a scary clown, Bransen was Chuckie and Ben was a police officer. The bigger boys ended up taking off with there friends and Ben strolled the streets in blue car with a fancy flashing light.

It was hot. Beyond hot for October. We were sweating and it was almost miserable! And then the next morning we woke up and it was chilly! If only the cold front had come in one day before it would have been so much better!
