Lots of new things.

After 13 weeks of hard training I attempted to fun my first Half Marathon. The first 8 1/2 miles went great. I felt good and only had a little over 4 miles left. Unfortunately I get a sever cramp in my right hip which caused my leg to go numb. I tried to continue but my knee started become very painful to run or even walk on. After another mile I got a hold of Jason on my cell phone and had to have him pick me up. Man was I bummed & in a lot of pain.

It has now been over a week and my knee is finally feeling better. I do plan to try again in a few years. Once I finish it though I think the most I will do is a 10K.

In other news, Jordan decided she wanted to be a big girl and go up stairs by herself. We were all at a friends house on Saturday night. We left Jordan in their living room, which was about 5 stairs down from their kitchen, while we ate dinner. Suddenly I notice that Jordan wanted to join us and had come almost all the way up the stairs. She is already an expert and always wants to do it herself now. I guess we need to start working on coming down now.

Grandpa Jahn and Carol were in town last weekend too. Jordan had a lot of fun with them. She helped carve pumpkins and played in the leaves. She also tried on the costume that Grandma Jahn bought for her. I think it might have been a little too small but boy did she look cute. Along with Grandpa being here Aunt Audra came to visit from Winter Park. Jordan loves seeing all here relatives.

Day at the Museum

Jordan & I spent last thursday morning at the Denver Natural History Museum with a friend and her son. We got to see how gold & silver look before they are mined, along with a lot of other natural stones. We also got to go see the dinosaur exhibit that they have right now. While in that exhibit we got to help make a cast of a fossil. After those exhibits we went to the Discovery Zone where Jordan got to play the piano, see how the wind machine blew the fabric up, play with big styrofoam blocks. They also had a volcano filled with stuffed animals. Jordan didn't care for the animals but loved trying to climb out of the volcano. They had tails that the kids could wear in the volcano so I tried the dinosaur tail on Jordan. She looked so cute. After the volcano Jordan played with the bead mazes. She really had a lot of fun with them.

Zoo Day!

Today was free day at the Denver Zoo. Jordan & I went with Neisha and her son Ryan. This was Jordan's second visit to the zoo & I think she really had a lot of fun. It was pretty crowded since it was free day but I think that made it all the more fun for Jordan. She loves people watching. We had to make sure we saw the Giraffes. They are her favorite. All the animals were pretty active since the weather has cooled down a little. The monkeys were even in the tree that has the pond around it.

Here are a few pictures of the animals we saw.

Jordan really liked the Rino. She didn't even want to look at the camera.
