Yesterday was quite exciting!
It was my baby's Birthday. Yes, Ruby turned 2!
And most of the family were running, or walking in the Huntsville 10K!
Some of my pictures are a little bit out of order, but you get the idea :)
My Birthday Girl!
We've had this 10K on the books for a long long time. I trained and was so ready for the Ogden Half Marathon, but lately, life has gotten in the way, and I was totally NOT ready. But I actually pulled off quite a fast time for me, considering, I haven't been exercising.
Yes, I was left in the dust. I was the very last person in the 10K to cross the finish line, but I made it.
Thanks to my sister in laws, brother and sister for walking with me the whole way. It was nice that I wasn't all alone. I think I have some serious work to do. It's an on going battle. But I'll get there.
It rained... actually poured almost the whole entire time, with very small breaks.
But I'm so glad that so many of us were there together! And my sister in law Adelle's family had a huge showing as well. After the 10K, we all had lunch and celebrated Ruby's birthday together. I had a great time. I love spending time with family. And it was nice to get out in the fall weather also. All of the leaves are changing, and the route went along the shores of Pineview. It was awesome!!
Doug, Mom, and Dax all placed in their races. Doug came in 1st in his age group for the 10K, Mom came in 2nd for her age group for the 5K, and Dax came in 3rd in his age group for the 10K!
Some of the kids were signed up for the kids race, including my girls.
Well, most everyone got really wet racing, and some of the kids played in the rain and were soaked. So everyone else went home to get warm and dry. But Bree was serious about racing. She didn't want to go home. We'd been talking about it for weeks, and she was going to participate! So we stuck around. Bree and Elle ran the kids race. It was short, but they were proud of themselves. They got to cross the finish line that all of the adult racers crossed. They were handed creamies, water, and Sunny D! They even got Tshirts.
They were so happy. I'm glad we stayed and let them race!
See.... I told you these were out of order :)
Camber!
Look who is TWO!
After the race, it was time to picnic, and have a Birthday Party!
Ruby and her Cake
My sister in law Adelle, is amazing. She made the cutest cake for Ruby. And I'm here to tell you that as cute as it is, it tastes even better! :)

It was a great day! I am glad that everyone decided to do it. It was a great kick-start to exercising again. :) I hope it won't be so wet and rainy next year. I think it should be a tradition.
Glad you like Ruby's cake. She is adorable. How it it that she can be TWO already?
