What I am loving Thursday!

This was supposed to be posted last night, but I got busy and never finished the post. :)
 I love this beautiful sunset I saw earlier this week.  We have the best sunsets and sunrises at my house. 

And a little later it looked  just as beautiful.

 

 My Dad lit the sparklers for the kids on the 4th with a blowtorch like any farmer/rancher would do.

The kids had a great time with the sparklers

 and all the food.

and roasting marshmellows  for smores with cousins.  My Mom is getting a new kitchen, do you see her old cupboards back there?  My little cowboy refuses to go anywhere these days in anything less than full cowboy gear.  At least I have him talked out of wearing his chaps in this weather.  I had him in shorts and a tank for a party on Saturday, you would have thought I was torturing him.  He kept telling me he felt weird.  So fine he can wear what he wants, I just thought he would be cooler in shorts!

No run on Wednesday, just work and a quick BodyRock workout when I got home.  Work again today and tomorrow.  Hopefully I will sneak in a run somewhere in the next two days.  I am now obsesseively checking the weather forecast for next weekend. Right now they are saying high of 82 and a low of 56.  Way better than last year.  Of course that could all change by then. 

  Does anyone else do that when you have a race coming up?

Some not so good news, Exxon  lost 10,000 gallons of oil into the Yellowstone River  over the 4th of July weekend while the river was flooding, so not only is the river contaminated, valuable cropland, and many people houses are flooded with the oil.  Thanks again Exxon for another spill.  Seems weird to have a global response team in Billings MT.  Luckily I do not live near the river.

And finally if you haven't already you still have a chance to win some Gotein HERE and a Handful Sports Bra HERE!  Because winning if fun!

Tell me what is the best thing or your favorite thing that you have won?

Me..hmm besides winning my age group, my favorite thing lately (I wish I could say here winning a spot on team NUUN, but I am still an alternate, I feel like the pretty girl's best friend.  Don't feel bad for me, I am just whining a little :) Okay favorite thing I won is movie tickets at work and I took my son to Kung Fu Panda in 3d.  I had such an awesome time with him.!
