Family Tree Cake

So today in church and I am teaching on Family History and Temple Work so I thought I'd make a cake to go along with my lesson. I spent less than an hour decorating it and granted I didn't start until after 10:00 pm so for the most part I think it is pretty darn cute. Tell me what you think....an be honest.

Austin turned 2 yrs old on August 18th - went to the Lane County Fair with his mommy.

Today August 21st we celebrated with friends and family. Here are some pictures of Austin at his party and the birthday cake I made him. He's really into trains right now so I thought this would be the perfect cake.

Austin was a little shy at first getting in the swimming pool but once he was in he loved it. All the kids played really good together

Love her sweet smile - this is right after she said "Again....Happy!"

Addison's Birthday Party

What a cutie! Addison has such a nice birthday party - Jon made an adorable "Dora" cake and Amber & Addision made the yummy cupcakes.

Addison was so cute opening her presents the way she would just let the tissue paper fly and we go straight for the toys, heck with clothes. She insisted on wearing her new bicycle helmet while we sang Happy Birthday to her, but once wasn't enough, when we sang and she blew out her candle , she looked up at everyone and said "Again, Happy!" She sat there until we all sang happy Birthday again and blew out the candle for the 2nd time---it was very funny.

Then there was swimming for the little ones and they all played so cute together.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDISON - 2 YEARS OLD

I did it! I ran my first 5K

5k Love Run 8/7/2010

So I'm going thru mid life crisis and have decided it was time to do something to get myself in shape. Amber & Jon having recently ran their first 10k and half marathon taught me that I can do it to.

August 7th was a donation only run for congenital heart defect research and all donations go to Doernbecher's Children's Hospital. I went around the neighborhood and was able to get a few donations to help the cause.

I ran/waled with Laura Leon - I owe her a HUGE thank your for staying by my side throughout the entire race. We kept our momentum by running 2 minutes and then walking 3 minutes. At the last leg we decided to kick it up a notch and sprint the remaining part. It's amazing how the adrenaline kicks in and I was able to accomplish my goal. Since I had never ran a race before I as just guessing a goal of completing the race in 50 minutes, however, I did it in just 44.40 Yeah!

My next goal is to run the entire 5k 10-10-10 for the Race for the Cure in Eugene.

Way to go Archambault's

Amber ran the entire 10k (6.2 miles) without stopping. Jon ran /Walked the 1/2 marathon (13.1miles) they DID IT. Jon's parents & Aunt completed the 10K annd Jon's sister and cousin ran the 1/2 marathon.We are so proud of you for your GREAT accomplishments.

Nana and Addison....she is so A*D*O*R*A*B*L*E
