Random Stuff

I walked into my room the other day, and found Carlee doing this.... Seriously, it's not posed.

Dear Dyson, What is this you might ask?? I was trying to Vacuum and nothing was being sucked up. I bent the vacuum over, and this is what I spent the next 10 min. digging out of the vacuum! With all the technology we have today, you would think someone would invent something where this doesn't happen. It's just gross. Sincerely, Hairy Situation.

Carlee Christmas Part 2

Each year my family draws names to exchange presents for Christmas. This year Amber's family had our family's name. So, again, since Carlee is going to CA for Christmas, we decided to get together to open just Carlee's Presents. Aunt Amber made her 2 aprons for her kitchen play, an adorable Tu-Tu, Mulan and Mulan 2, marshmallows, and a cute snowman. It was such a fun day!

Dear Carlee, I'm coming Early! Love, Santa.

Since Carlee will be in California this year for Christmas, we had a Christmas Party for Carlee last night. And man did she score! She got 3 movies, a sleeping bag, kitchen/ shopping cart set, food to cook with, tinkerbell pj's, Dora fort/ tunnel, a Leapfrog, foam puzzles, Dora underwear, Beaver shirt & Beaver Keychain. She had a blast opening up all her presents, and is having an even more fun day playing with all them! Thanks everyone.

A Christmas Carol

Saturday we went to the ACT Theatre in Seattle to watch the "Christmas Carol" play. It was so much fun. It was a fun evening out without the kids. The seats rounded the theatre, and I really felt like I was in the play! Actors were fantastic, and I definitely want to go next year. We even went to the Cheesecake Factory afterwards and got 3 pieces of Cheesecake to share!

This dress was made completely out of Moving Paper. AMAZING!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was spent with Mom & Dad Radimak. Eric is the one taking the picture, that's why he's not in it. I really should take the camera more, so there is evidence of him! We had a great time visiting, eating, and Mom, Julie & I went to see New Moon while the boys stayed and Cooked! Now that's my kind of Thanksgiving. Thanks Boys!

Grandpa Radimak brought out the ol' Accordion. Well Really we forced him into it, but he was a good sport and even the kids got to play.

Carlee really has a Love for Jake. They are inseparable!

Half Marathon!

While we were in Oregon visiting Eric's Grandparents, I participated in the Half Marathon on Saturday Morning. The last one I had completed was the San Francisco Marathon 3 1/2 years ago. I decided it was time to get back into the game. Little did I know that Eugene, OR is basically the running capitol of the world! It was extremely tough this time, and 13.1 miles later crossed the finish line and just wanted to eat and cry! If I can brag a little bit, I will...I was very proud of myself. After having a baby, and knee surgery, I completed a goal that I wanted to do for a long time... to complete a 2nd 1/2 marathon by 2009. Over 1,100 people participated in all the runs that day which consisted of a 5K, 10K, 1/2 Marathon. We raised over $20,000 to help over 4,000 families pay their utility bills to have heat this winter. Such an exhilarating experience to be a part of. It was so much fun.
