Last Saturday our family participated in a BYU Alumni fun run. Dad, Mom and the oldest three did the 5K and the youngest two did races on the track. The 5K was fun because we were all together for a lot of the race, encouraging each other on. Lady K was the first to come in for the family. She never stopped and even beat her mother (which I told her was only because I was running 5 months pregnant, next time she won't be so lucky! haha)
Baby R was in a 100 meter dash with all kids 5 and younger. She beat everyone and was so cute smiling the whole way and then at the end exclaiming, "I can't believe I got a medal, I never had one. Everyone else has medals and now I have one...I can't believe I won!!" Her excitement was so cute!! J Man ran a 200 meter. He started out on the outside lane and I told him to move in after the start. I don't think he knew what I meant because he ran the entire curve in the outside lane. He still beat everyone in his 6-7 year old age group and got a fun medal like his sister. He sat around the rest of the morning feeling like he was going to puke. Poor kid, I think he pushed himself pretty hard!!
It was an absolute dream morning for me. I have always wanted to have a day like this where everyone in the family got to take part in some way in the events and it actually happened. I have to thank Dad a lot because 5K races are not his thing but he did it to make me happy. What a great guy. I love all my little athletes.
