Susan G. Koman, WA
My cousin, a friend and myself walked/ran the 5K race. The differences between the Phoenix and Seattle races is there were hills in Seattle!! I am use to FLAT courses. So, my cousin and I walked, while her friend ran it. I think our time was 39 minutes, give or take.
PS. I had to indulge in some pink cotton candy!

Happy 2nd Birthday!!
The baby just turned 2. The theme of the party was monkeys. There were 16 people at the party, including friends and family. The menu consisted of BBQ chicken and lots of different salads. Desserts included banana split cake and monkey cupcakes, which mom surprised me with. The kids played pin the banana on the monkeys head and ball toss through the monkeys hands. Everyone went home with goody bags.
Here are a few pictures from my dad's camera of the party. My camera is having some difficulties.

Honda VTX 1800
Also, know as RED or mama's bike. Husband purchased a new bike for the two of us to ride. I like to call it RED, because that way I don't have to know all the special things about it. The girls call it mama's bike because dad has an orange bike. The KTM is in the process of being sold.
This is the first trip with the both of us and another couple. We started early in the morning and the final stop Pinetop-Lakeside, AZ. The first stop was in Payson for breakfast. The second stop was Bison Ranch. The third stop was in Showlow to put on the foul weather gear. From Showlow to Pinetop (about 15 miles) it poured down rain. The rain was a nice break from the hot temperatures.
We stayed at Mt. Haven inn (www.mountainhaveninn.com) in the garden room. It had 2 bedrooms, living area, full kitchen and one bath. It was a cute quaint place to spend the night.
The ride back to PHX start nice in the pines, then dropped to the desert. The hot was enormous as you entered into PHX. I think we may have to wait until November or December to ride again.
Sorry, the pictures are not the best. Our good camera is in the shop.

Home to the Desert!!!
Today is the day, we leave from WA to AZ. I think I will miss the nice cool weather. I did stop raining a week ago. There was even one day of 90 degrees, it was getting me ready to return home.
The trip was a great one!! My cousin and I have a great time just being around one other as friends, as mothers, and just women. The kids will deeply miss one another.
There will changes for my girls when they return home, dad painting a room and put in a set of bunk beds. So, the youngest is out of the crib and the older one will be sleeping up top. Hopefully, the transition will be smooth.
I will be posting pictures sometime this week. There are so many to choose from.
PS. Almost my 100th post.
