It was a great and very eventful Mothers Day Weekend.
I kicked of the weekend with the Pasta Dinner for the Montana Women's Run with my Mom and our neighbors Peggy and Christine. We had never gone before and my Mom thought it would be a great time. Once we got there and started dinner the Women's Run staff were announcing things and awarding women awards for hard work and dedication. I was semi listening to what was being said when I heard them say Jeanne Milton...for those of you who do not recognize this name it is Ken's Grandmother. Jeanne had been attending the Women's Run every year for as long as Ken can remember. He said she would run every year and loved it, she even won her age category a few times. She flew down from San Diego and would run it with her daughters, nieces, granddaughters, friends, and other family members.
This year was the second year that Jeanne was unable to make it. Last year at this time Jeanne was in the hospital undergoing treatment for cancer in San Diego. During her treatment Jeanne was such a trooper and would walk on the treadmill just to stay as fit as she could.
It has almost been a year since Ken's Grandma has been gone but she is still very much with us because...The Pasta Dinner for the Montana Women's Run was dedicated to Jeanne Milton for her inspiration to other women in MT.
Love you Grandam Jeanne we will never forget you!!
The next morning I woke up (and bundled up 30 degrees brrrr) for the run. Ken had gotten me 2 beautiful roses and Bluetooth for the car! He thought it was a good idea so I am not driving our new born son around digging for a cell phone while driving...good idea! It was great and very unexpected since I still have two more months till D-day.
My Aunt Peggy came down for our "walk" and Mindee walked with us as well. It was nice I was definitely not use to walking, we have always run but I have been a bit lazy about running as of late; ) I could not believe how many people there were walking it was wall to wall people and it never thinned out! Usually when I run it thins out a bit. We finished and I vowed again (for the 5th year in a row!) that next year I am running the 5 mile...no if and's or but's. All of you heard it there is no backing out...pregnant or not I am running the 5; )
Later that day Ken and his brothers took Chris out for a long over due Mothers Day dinner (what good sons) at Ciao Mambo. And I met up with my parents again for Fudd's, mmmmm.
For Mothers Day we finished hanging pictures in the nursery and put the finishing touches on it. I think it looks pretty good if I don't say so myself! I am almost 31 weeks, 9 more to go (or a little more depending on if he has some stubborn Stabio in him: ))
Here are some pictures form our great weekend. Please do not mind my double chin. The t-shirts were made by my sister-in-law Nicole and we wore them during the run in memory of Jeanne....
