me, getting muddy!

all of our group doing the second to last obstacle

My neighborhood playgroup FORCED me into signing up for the original MUDRUN here in Fort. Worth. It is a 10K run with about 28 military style obstacles through out the run, I literally almost backed out the morning of. I nurse Ever and he hasnt taken a bottle since he was 8weeks old, that was my excuse for almost letting down my girlfriends. I am so glad and proud to say that we all completed the race! and in one piece! My fellow MoFo Laura (hummer) Mancuso and I cant swim and nearly drowned in the Trinity River! Our good friend Chrissy came back to take pics and SAVED us both! THANK YOU CHRISSY! Craig, my mom, my sis and my kids came out to see me and I was so happy to see them cheering us on! They were able to see the last two obstacles and Irina thought it was silly that we were crawling around in the mud. Crew was thrilled to see me and nursed for almost an hour in the parking lot. Of course Hummer made us all matching "MOMTOURAGE" shirts, they had all of our names also. We all had a blast getting gutsy and dirty, MUDRUN 2012 here we come!

ready to bat! she did great!

game over! I was cheering for BOTH teams, the kids are so cute in their uniforms!

Irina's first t-ball game was SO much fun to watch! I cant believe how quickly I became "that mom" that cheers and cheers for her kid. The game is short and is based on every child taking a turn to bat from each team, no score keeping; just a good time for the kiddos. She did great and had a blast with her team mates, Daddy-O came to see her play and Liam was in on the fun too. Liam was with us this particular weekend because his mommy was in labor. An awesome first game for the gators!

Play Ball!!

Irina had her first t-ball practice this week and did an awesome job!! Her team name is THE GATORS and Craig is an assistant coach on her team. The kids are so cute and they all get along great together. Her practice is in my old home town and her practices are at my old stompin' grounds Haltom Middle School. We had so much fun watching her interact and practice with her team mates. GO GATORS!

Golf Lessons

Craig is a huge golfer and has been talking about teaching irina some putting moves. im all for them spending quality time together but i didnt think she would like golfing. apparently i was wrong, she not only LOVES it, she is actually pretty good according to craig.

March Madness Not Over

i got it!

nothin' but net!

Here are some pics of Irina doing her thang. She loves playing basketball, especially when she slam dunks her "pee (pink) ball"

GO COWBOYS!
trying my hand w/ the prof camera
On the way in, we crossed a bridge and came to this. Pretty Cool.

Last week we were at the new Cowboys stadium in Alrington to watch the last "home" pre-season game. They were challenging the 49ers and there were over 72,000 fans to cheer them on. We had a great time, we found awesome parking and had great friends to hang out with. I was a bit disappointed that the newly drafted Stephen McGee wasn't suited up to play but I still very much enjoyed the game. I saw him play countless times at Kyle Field in Aggieland and I'm super excited this Aggie is now a Dallas Cowboy!!! The new stadium is FABULOUS!!! It has a "mall" feeling and it completely air-conditioned! In fact, I was freezing! We had some drinks that were way over priced but I had to have an "Inaugural Season" cup. We left after the 3rd quarter to pick up Irina from my Mom and on the way out were handed free cases of a new energy drink called Venom...yeah not going to drink that.. You all know how I feel about synthetic energy drinks, if you don't then don't ask b/c I will go off on a crazy rant. Speaking of crazy rants: there was this totally insane man sitting a few rows down that was quite the distraction. He was a 49ers fan- need I say more? No, but really, at one point he had his arms up in the air and screamed "Shout to the Devil"! Yikes! I didn't see any alcohol but he may have arrived drunk to the game...or maybe that's just him sober? Anyway, I'm so glad my friend Mary set this whole thing up because I had an awesome time!! GO COWBOYS!!! GIGEM AGGIES!!
