Fort Bragg with the Coulam Families

We went camping with the Coulam side of the family. We camped at Mackerricher State Park for a few days. We did some hiking and tidepooling and playing on the beach. We had a great time!!

Cowan Talent Show

Carlin and her friends decided to learn a dance for the Talent Show this year. This is their last talent show because next year they will be in middle school.




Here are a few shots of them in their costumes. I guess blogger doesn't let us do video anymore. I would put the video up if I could. Sorry!!

No Excuses 5K

I convinced all the girls and the Cobabe Family to run this 5K with me. Doug and Alyssa Barnes also ran with us.

My first 5K race

A couple of months ago, I decided that I wanted to run a 5K. I started to walk/run a few times a week. The race that I had planned to run came quickly. The morning of the race, I convinced two of my daughters to do it with me. It was difficult but we made it!! A BIG thank you goes to Doug and Alyssa Barnes who inspired me to do this and helping me encourage Carlin at the end of the race when she was so tired!!

The three of us before the race.
