Lady Tutu 5K

Alexa has been wanting and asking to run a 5K race. We've practiced a few times so she knew how far 3 miles was and she still was excited to do it. I saw an advertisement for the Lady Tutu 5K and thought it would be perfect. There were lots of other little girls and we also got to make our own tutus. I asked Alexa what colors she wanted and she wanted rainbow tutus. I got lucky and found those leg/arm warmers on clearance at Target and not only did they match our tutu, but it was sooooo cold that morning that we were glad to have them. 
Like mother like daughter....
I was really proud of Alexa. She ran most of the race and only walked briefly before picking up the pace again. 
We got lots of compliments on our outfits!
Alexa finished in about 43 minutes. She loves her finishers medal and it proudly hangs in her bedroom. 
We had made Erika a matching rainbow tutu, but it was too cold that morning for all the kids so they stayed home with Daddy.

Busy weekend


My little Daisy Girl Scout!
By the end of the year, she will earn petal badges to go all around the center circle. 
Here's my Girl Scout troop. I love working with them. 
Some of my triathlon friends at a bike store event
There was a drawing and Alexa won a t-shirt and water bottle. 
And I was the grand prize winner!!!  I won a $200 gift card to the bike store. 
Afterwards we walked next door and enjoyed ice cream
This is another friend that I rode the Rockmill bike ride with. 
Erika's first time swinging on the swing set!

Alexa is showering her with bubbles. 
Took a walk to visit these friendly horses


Erika and the horse were curious about each other :)


Erika is always happy to see Daddy when he comes home from work.

Sick Erika


Erika had her 9 month wellness checkup this week. We discovered that she had a double ear infection. She's being treated with amoxicillin. 
The pediatrician was pleased with her weight gain and growth since her last appointment. 

Her top two teeth have broken through her gums now. That gives her 5 teeth.
