Loving Life with Kelly - Never a Dull Moment: November 2011

Ok, I give up on even trying to make regular posts. This will just have to be random like my life I guess. :o)

So, worth sharing in the past month, Cedar Hill Farms pumpkin patch - WE LOVE IT!!! This is our 3rd year to go. It is the best place for fall pictures. Here are a few of my favorite (I took about 400)!

These pictures have not been edited at all. But, I just read on another blog that I follow "Applique Cafe Blog" that she uses and recommends a free software called "Photoscape" to edit her pictures (crop, brighten, sharpen, etc.) I can't wait to find time to check it out.

*****Movie Review***** - It has been sooooo long since me and my husband went to see a movie. Finally, we got to go see "The Help". I loved it!!! I like movies that are realistic and based or semi-based on true stories. It was great!!! I highly recommend it!

This past Saturday was the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure that we have done with my mom for the past 4 years. She is a breast cancer survivor and our team name is Hope Floats. In the past, I just did the 1 mile Family fun walk (short version behind the runners). This year I decided to be brave and run it. I did NOT train very well as in I haven't ran at all in the past month. The month before I ran a couple of times with my sis-n-law and barely made 1 mile each time. BUT, I ran most of the way Saturday, and finished in 37 minutes and 15 seconds. I know that is super slow to some people but I was quite excited. That is the 1st 5k I have ran since high school. My son ran it in 20 minutes and 30 seconds and I think my husband ran it in 30 minutes. It was just so exciting being out there with so many runners and seeing the yards that were decorated. It was awesome! I can't wait till next year. But, I am still sore and it is Wednesday.

Mom and Me freezing before the race!!! :o)

And last but not least, Halloween!!! We had a big Fall Fun Festival at our church which we have been planning and organizing for about 6 weeks. It was hard work but it was a huge success!!! The kids had a wonderful time. Here are a few pics!
