Happy 8 Months!

First things first...Happy 8 Months to my Baby Boy!! It's hard to believe he's already 8 months. Every time I look at him I can't get over how sweet and wonderful he is!! And he's growing up so fast! Right before my eyes he's growing in to a little boy...trying so hard to crawl and getting frustrated when he can't, getting his teeth, and making new sounds (the scream is still his favorite)!!

I rode the Lac Le Jeune ride the only ride I know in Kamloops) yesterday. And it was so fun. My legs weren't as heavy as they have been the last couple of weeks so i didn't quite feel like I was going backwards!! It was just a nice, peaceful ride with very few cars! Coach told me to ride the last 40km at race pace and lucky for me that part of the ride is all down hill and fast (which I deserved because I had to climb all the way up there first) and I barely had to peddle! Then I slipped my new Nike's (they feel like slippers) onto my feet, which had been looked at by a funny doctor on wednesday and given a cortisone shot...and low and behold I had less pain then normal and it was fun to run! yeah!!

Then best of all we spent the afternoon at the beach with Max...it wasn't that warm so we just walked around and played at the park!

Call 911

You know the song...it's totally catching...something about "call 911". Well my husband found this exercise/dance video to that song, and it's hilarious. Neither of us are that great of dancers but will do anything to get Max to smile! And smile he did! He thought we were hilarious trying to copy the video!!

Max was sick for the first time yesterday (besides some minor teething fevers). He had a fever, a running nose and cranky disposition until about 5pm last night. The poor Little Dude was not happy, but he when he went to bed he was already starting to come out of it and this morning he woke up happy...smiling at all the skaters and trying to get as much attention as he could...he's a little charmer to say the least!

The First Cool Day

The first cool day we've had here in Kamloops and it's 27 degrees...crazy!!

Sunday it was 39 degrees and on the positive side it's preparing me for IMC heat. I did a four hour ride...and I'm not one to talk about how fast/slow I can ride but I have to say that I the ride I did on sunday I only covered 100km in 4 hours because it was so hard...I climbed for at least 25 km and it took me right into a good head wind....so needless to say it was a super hard ride. And when I got back I headed out for a 2 hour run and that's when I started to feel the heat...I was dripping the whole way and the heat was definitely getting to me, but it was a great run and a great workout. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon napping and watching a friend from Calgary play soccer! Max stayed up all the way until 7pm with all the excitement!

Monday afternoon we spent the afternoon at Riverside Park. Max loved the river...it was cold but he was all about bobbing up and down! He was screaming with delight!! Then we headed to the Icecream shop and Max had his first taste of icecream and he couldn't contain himself! He took a lick and then another and then he wouldn't let us eat our icecream because he was trying to get it...he loved it and it was so cute...we only let him eat a little because I was scared his tummy couldn't handle it!

Tomorrow we're back to Calgary for 5 days...looking forward to the home cooking!
