We spent the whole week in Kansas for Thanksgiving. Mike wanted to hunt and the kids and I had not been up there in a long time. It had been 3 1/2 years since Jake and I had gone and Joshua had never been up there!! The farm is a perfect place for kids.....lots of stuff to do! The house is more than big enough for extra people (we got the whole upstairs) and Rich and Dianne are SO good to us. The kids loved all the new things to play with and do. Lots of time throwing rocks in the creek, lots of puzzles and toys inside, lots of VERY good food (Dianne is quite the baker!!!) and time with cousins. Mike got a deer on Wednesday (whew!! trip was a success!!). On Thanksgiving we went over to his Uncle Larry's house. There were lots of cousins there!!! It was a great trip (long car rides were a big tough!!) but we were glad to get home today!

Rock and Roll...
Brenda talked me into doing the Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon. Me...who is NOT a runner. And...little mental determination or competitiveness (when it comes to athletics!!). We trained for 3 months. One rolled ankle put a minor bump in the road, but for the most part we stuck to the schedule. Race day was warm and humid!!!
Picked up our stuff on Friday...but didn't want to wear the shirt until I "earned it" on Sunday!
The group that ran together. Brett and Brenda finished a couple minutes before me. Kevin was a bit behind...he did almost NO training. Very impressive!
Sophia drew a picture of me crossing the finish line. I hope that's what I looked like

Baylor Homecoming Weekend
We missed Baylor Homecoming last year...so we made sure to go this year. It's such a great parade and the kids have so much fun. It was a jam packed weekend....playing on the new swingset, the parade, lots of fun with DD, a campfire at the river, BB gun target practice....and lots of outside play time!
Family Reunion
The weekend that I was doing Ole Market was the big Dorman Family Reunion. It was really sad that I had such a major conflict. But, Mom took Jake and Sophia up so they could enjoy the weekend and play with cousins. They had a blast!! Lots of ranch fun!!!
