Pete, Jen, Sawyer....and Izzy too!: Dirty Girl Run & A Bridal Shower

This weekend was a SUPER busy weekend, but a lot of fun! Pete has started football and i'm pretty sure i've seen him a total of 2 hours in the last 8 days! Going back home to hang out with family was a great time and kept me busy!
After work on Friday i drove home to my mom's house and we decided to go to the Jefferson/Lakeside football game which my cousins Jared & Michael played in for Lakeside. Unfortunately, Lakeside lost by a touchdown, but it was so much fun to see them play! Made me feel old that they're in high school already!!

Saturday was the 5K Dirty Girl Mud Run ...it was a BLAST!! Myself, Aunt Jayne, Whitney, Tayler and Becky signed up to run in it. None of us knew what we were in for but were excited! Of course, the morning of, it was downpouring...making it EXTRA muddy for our run! These are close to the order we ran them in:
Obstacle 1 - Hay bale climb
Obstacle 2 - Tire High Step
Obstacle 3 - Hanging Tires
Obstacle 4 - Tunnel Crawl
Obstacle 5 - Mud Ditch and Climb
Obstacle 6 - Army Crawl
Obstacle 7 - Jail Break Fence Jump
Obstacle 8 -Mud Crawl
Obstacle 9 - Tire Weave
Obstacle 10 - Cargo Net Climb
Obstacle 11 - Mud Water Pit

We were completely soaked and muddy. HOWEVER...(sorry Becky) the funniest part of the whole thing was performed by my sister in law Becky. We were running about to do the Jail Break Fence Jump. The trails were SO muddy and uneven it was hard to get your footing so we tried to run on the sides of the trail. Becky apparently went too far over and ended up falling into a ditch. Not just any ditch, a ditch with a little creek running through it. She went down and i looked back and all i saw was her holding onto weeds trying not to fall into the creek. I went back to help and was laughing WAY too hard so i was sitting on my butt trying to pull her up. Whit and Tayler came back to try to help too, which took even longer due to the laughing.
All in all, great experience! Fun family bonding Saturday morning. We were promised a cosmo after we were finished but it ended up being a shot glass of it instead....tempting us to want more! That night when i went home to shower...the things that fell out of my sports bra, shorts and were stuck to my skin was disgusting, a shower had never felt so good in my life!
Saturday night Becky, Kyle and Nick came over to my mom's while Becky and I made cake pops for Erin's bridal shower the next day. A few bottles of wine into it, Becky and i had made 50 cake pops and put two per bag, one in white chocolate and one in chocolate and decorated them. Then we made little tags in the shape of a feather and put "Sweet Beginnings" on the front and "Erin & Sean 9-17-11" on the back. They were really cute once we were done.

Sunday was Erin's shower. We had a great turn out for it! Lots of family showed up for it and enjoyed the food and shower games as well! Only one more month until the big day! Time flies!!

Also...Kyle taught all of us how you can get a wine cork out of an empty wine bottle Saturday night....
