so the kids finally got to play tank, tank, tank (or at least brenny did today, because dash came home on red. oops.
derek and i didn't realize that they can customize the face of their player!
look at brennan below! oh my!
and they scrimmaged against the rookie orioles.
thy each went up to bat twice, and dashiell went 2:2!

i've had since matthew. oh my. it was old. too old, probably, to really be "safely" used in a car.
so that one's going to go away permanently.
i gave brenny the choice of whether or not he wanted the new blue one (for my car) or the black and brown suede one for mom's car -- because amazon wasn't selling the red one anymore...i know he likes red, so i wanted to give him the choice.
what did he choose?! he chose both the new ones, and NOT the red one!
i told derek that i totally get it...being the baby, i was used to lots of hand-me-downs. this was his first carseat that wasn't someone else's first. maybe he wasn't thinking that deeply into it, but nonetheless...
the base shape is a little different; dashiell's is molded more on the sides, and the cupholders can be pulled in/out. brenny's are permanent, and he has TWO - one on each side. the base is flatter too. hmmm. minor changes.
but still the best and highly rated car seat around. they can be in it until they are 85# lbs with the harness...and up to 120lbs without (so seatbelt only).

it was lots of fun, seeing the lion dance and the loud firecrackers in the background (see above)
makes me miss taiwan...
the course was hilly and challenging, and matthew had a rough go of it.
BUT he persevered, and is now going to run 2 miles with me in the mornings to stay fit.
we are going to run the knott's berry farm coaster run again (in march).
[i haven't yet told him i signed us up for the 10k! uh-oh...]

matt had practice in the morning, and was free to come help me by playing with brenny AND by helping out dashiell's team on the field! =D
what a great big brother!

at the toyota dealership with mom...
eating some free popcorn while we wait...
the inside of the car before heading to eat.
there was only FIVE miles on the car! wow!(we would have taken a pic of the car but it was dark by the time we got outside)
mom and i stopped off at the new FS Hotpot for some dinner.
It was delicious and authentic chinese food~
(or so i think...)
dashiell and brennan enjoyed checking out the new car:

he also brought 100 pieces of a cereal in a baggie.

dashiell dropped it coming out of the car onto the driveway.
it turns on and everything, but the glass is all shattered and is not safe to use whatsoever.
no immediate plans to replace just yet - going to let them miss it for a while.

pasadena rock and roll half marathon with pascale~
it was cold this morning!
i PR'd again!
i didn't intend to PR today...not even close. i figured 2:20 most likely because i'd be tired from the flight yesterday.
but about 1/2 way through the race, i realized that if i kept up the pace, i'd be close to 2:10. i pushed really hard to keep right around a 10:00mi/mi pace (which i knew would get me 2:10). i had to run mile 13 in 8:55 and the last .18 at a 7:33 pace to make it~
WHEW!
gramma and grandpa left to go home today...
brenny was really sad when we pulled away from the curb. he wanted to know why he couldn't just go with them to montana.
we had to try to explain that we'd be back there soon...
derek had to pick up some tests from school, so we made a stop there after the airport.
the kids had fun playing around.
