Willow Crest 1 mile run

Haili's gym teacher came to me after school and told me, your daughter likes to run. I am thinking is this good or bad? Well, he wanted her to enter in a 1 mile run this weekend and so we did! No one in our family is a runner, but She was awesome. She ran a 1 mile cross country run ALL by her self, and she was the only 1st grader to compete in her school. With no training and being all new to running, she did an Awesome job. She finished in the top group with all the 3rd graders. I was so excited that she finished that I didn't get her time, but her teacher will let me know later. We do have to give Grandma Rowe kuddos, we were a little worried about her running a cross country race by her self so Grandma ran behind her. Haili had no idea she was there. Shanna even took a few short cuts :) and still couldn't catch up to Haili. We are so proud of them both...

And there off... Haili is somewhere in the middle of all those kids.

Cody wanted to run too, only because Haili was doing it. So, Trevor decided to run with Cody in his division....I guess they got down the first hill and Cody plopped down on the ground and refused to go any further :) (He his a lot like his mom) So being a good father, Trevor made Cody finish what he started and he coaxed him (maybe dragged him a little) to the finish. In the end both kiddos recieved medals for finishing and they are both proud of their accomplishments. It was a very fun day, and it ended with a trip to DQ.

As soon as Cody saw me he started to ball and didn't want to finish, Trevor helped him the last few feet :) They might have finished a little sooner if Cody spent more time running (which he loves to do around the house) and less time throwing a fit. They both had fun, and Trevor couldn't stop laughing.


So proud!
