The "Daddy Cuddle"

Eye on the ball!

Oh No!  Missed it!

Try again, this time with a little bit of attitude!

Uh oh.  Missed again.  No pictures please!

A Fun Summer Weekend!

Missy Mya is always all smiles when we're out at the lake.  We got there just as it was starting to get dark Friday night...

Even though the water is FREEZING, Mya just couldn't resist!

My Birthday is coming up (do we really have to keep counting?  Let's just stop at 30:), so dad bought me a cake.  At least it's a good excuse to have TWO peices of cookie dough ice cream cake!

Ran in another 5K in Fergus with my cousins Keisha and Erika.   Yes, I'm completely hooked.  This one completely kicked my butt, though.  Terrain in Fergus is a little different than Fargo and Wahpeton.  The route must have drug us up four hills.  Not really a good excuse, but sheesh!   

The kiddos with their marching sticks.  Quite the imaginations these four have!  I love how much time Mya gets to spend with her cousins.  Thanks for coming out to the lake Nevaeh, Bodin, and Jaxtin! You guys always make it so much fun for Mya! (We kind of like when you're mom and dad come to hang out, too;)

We came home early today to go to cousin Beth's graduation from Breck.  Here's Missy Mya all dolled up:)

Memorial Weekend Part 1

We spent Monday at the zoo and then running throug a sprinkler in the back yard:)

Fargo Marathon!

Dad, Ashley, and I ran the 5K together Friday night of the Fargo Marathon

Dad finished in approx 26 minutes, Ashley in approx 30 minutes, and I finished in 32 minutes.  My goal was to RUN the WHOLE thing and I did just that!:)  There were 6500 people running/walking the 5K.  It took 9 minutes for the entire mob to cross the starting line!

Dad ran the half-marathon on Satuday morning.  Ashley and I snapped this picture of him at Mile 6.  About half way. 

I found this picture on The Forum website.... Not sure what mile this is, but some are still smiling!

Dad finished the half in just under 2 hours!  Very cool.  I'm super motived to up my goal and run the 10K next year.  Anybody wanna join me?:)

Happy Mother's Day!

Randy and Mya bought me flowers for Mother's Day:)  My mom helped me pick them out and then snapped these shots as we planted them...  It was a fun day!

Spring Wrap UP!

Mya in her Easter Dress:)  She hates the camera, so YES these are the only pictures I got.  We did try to take some family shots and in EVERY SINGLE ONE she turned her head so we can't see her face. She's  such a pleasant child. 

My mom and I at the Komestakes Easter at my house...

Ready... Set... HUNT!

Family gathered around the table.  One of my favorite things...

Auntie Ashley with Jiggity Jasper:)

James, Keisha, and Randy

We finally broke down and got Miss Mya a Gator;)

We had a Bday party for Randy last night.  It's a long standing tradition in the Miranowski family that we ALWAYS get together for Birthdays.  ALWAYS.   Even when the Birthday Boy is an old fart!  Also- a long standing Miranowski tradition... competitive sports!  They spent the evening playing kick ball in our back yard.  Below you'll see that Mya is getting "trained-in!"

Playing the out field

The girls assembled a band and sang Happy Birthday to Uncle Randy:)
