fall fun with friends

Registration at the Race for the Unborn. I think the race raised about $1700 for the cause of fighting for the unborn. Most of the money will go to the Mississippi Personhood organization which is petitioning to get an amendment to the MS constitution which would define a person beginning at the point of conception which would outlaw the killing of unborn babies in MS!!

Here is Scott about to cross the finish line! He ran/walked the 5K in 32 minutes. This was his first race.

Anna has improved these past few months from not being able to run for even a quarter of a mile to being able to run for 3.1 miles. She was disappointed with her time at this race but she has much to be thankful for!

Claire on the pony ride at B'ham Ridge

We had a wild hayride. We did not know what to expect. It took over an hour and we went WAAAy out in the country, through mud and past scary creatures (which petrified John).

By the time we returned to the church we were frozen. It was fun though and my kids want to go back to this event next year!

Ben bundled up for the hayride!

Last Saturday was a busy day! We started the day at the Race for the Unborn (a 5K at Ballard Park) Mom was able to come down and watch this run. Anna and Scott ran and Ben, Claire, John and I did the 1 mile fun run/walk.

After the 5K, the Spartans all went to the Johnsons for a cookout. There were about 100 people there and the food and fellowship was wonderful. We have enjoyed being a part of this team this year!

Then later in the afternoon we went up the hill to B'ham Ridge Baptist for their fall festival. They had blow up slides and bouncy thingys, a cake walk, pony and wagon rides and LOTS of yummy soups and food! We enjoyed seeing people from around the B'ham Ridge community where we live.

Happy Fall Ya'll!
