run sugar run.

this morning we headed to little rock to see spencer run in the little rock marathon.  the three of us made pratt a shirt last night for him to wear.  he really loves his sugar, and i knew he would love seeing everyone running/racing.


tyler found a good spot up top.  we found a spot nearer to the fence, further from the finish line.  so we could see her run by.




she ran 13.1 miles in 2 hours and 8 minutes.  awesome.  this was faster than the pace she had previously expected.  we saw her run by and clint screamed at her.  i don't think she heard us though.  but then, pratt and i took off running (yes, nearly 30 weeks pregnant running is NOT pretty), and we caught her trying to tie her shoes.  or maybe get that tag/timer thing off.  anyway, we yelled, but she didn't hear us.



i was about to walk away, when she looked up and saw us.  and took off to come say hi to pratt.  and i captured this picture.

it totally and completely melts my heart.  he was so proud of his shirt.  and he couldn't wait for her to see it!




spencer, we really are so proud of you!  maybe with yours and clint's genetics, pratt will one day run in the marathon too.  but he's not allowed to run in the full.  only the half.  the full nearly killed clint 3 years ago.  not lying.  he lost 11 pounds in about 5 hours that day.  11 pounds!!! and he couldn't formulate full sentences on the ride home.

we had a great time!  pratt loved sugar's cheese crackers best :)

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
