A New Puppy for the Gleaton's

Gizmo "Gizzy" Gleaton came home with us today. He's a sweet puppy, very calm. Let's just hope that last. :) He's about 4lbs of fur.

The Monster

On Halloween night, Todd always puts "The Monster" out.

I DID IT....I RAN A HALF MARATHON!!!!!!!!

As most of you know, back in July I started training to run a marathon. We were to the point in our training that we were ready for a half marathon (13.1 miles). So, on Sunday, our group participated in the Scott and White Miracle Match Marathon here in Waco. It's known as the Toughest Little Marathon in Texas. I was able to cross the finish line in under 3 hours (2:51 to be exact!)

Amy and I just before the race started. I convinced Amy to sign up with me to train for the marathon. Amy has been a huge encouragement to me throughout our training! Thanks a million Amy for doing this with me!!!

Todd, the kids and my mom were there to cheer me on. Todd said he took a chance taking this picture at the start of the race and just happened to get me as I crossed the starting line.

Laura, Amy and I

Goofy picture? That's pure joy on my face as I was about to cross the finish line!!!

Me, Amy, Laura and Brandi...proud to say WE DID IT!!!!

It doesn't stop here. We will continue to train for a Full Marathon. Amy, Laura and I plan to run another half marthon in December. Then in February we will run our first full marathon in Austin!!!

Anniversary

Todd and I celebrated our 12th anniversary on Sunday. We enjoyed dinner at 135 Prime Saturday evening. Sunday was just a regular day. I helped with a wedding shower and Todd took 5 kids to the zoo!!!

Hook'em Horns!!!!!

Texas knocks off # 1 Oklahoma

Whoooo Hoooo!!!!

There's been a lot of whooping and hollering going on at the Gleaton house today!!!!

I'm Back

Let me catch you up on what's been happening since July! We made it to the state baseball tournament! That was alot of fun and a great experience. Our team placed sixth overall!About a week after the tournament we took a quick family trip to Galveston. Todd's parents, brother, niece and nephew joined us there. We had a GREAT time! We stayed in the Casa Del Mar condos at 61st and Seawall. Here are a few pictures from Seawolf Park. Unfortunately this area was heavly damaged by hurricane IKE! I saw a picture the other day of the battleship leaning on it's side, the sub is still in it's place, but all the other stuff is gone!

This is a picture of us riding the ferry.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL I'm only six weeks behind :)

Preston is in 4th grade this year and Colton's in 1st grade. Both are doing great in school, first report cards come home next week! I think they think they are getting too big for me to take their picture on the first day???

Colton was all business on the first day of school.

Since school has started, Colton has lost one tooth on the top and the other is well on it's way out. I tried taking a picture but you can hardly tell it when he smiles. I guess first thing on the Christmas wish list will be his two front teeth! :)

Longtime no blog...

It's been a long time since I sat down to blog. So let me catch you up on what's been going on with The Gleaton Gang. I can sum it all up in one word...B-A-S-E-B-A-L-L !!

That's right, Preston is STILL playing baseball. His team came in first in their division which means playoffs. Our regular season has been over for a month and we are FINALLY going to start post-season play this week! In the meantime we've kept busy with the 2-3 hour practices 4-5 days a week! Go Sidewinders! If we win this round we will play in the state tournament in Brownwood the last week of July!!

Enough about that... Todd turned 35 this week!!! We celebrated with an Asian stir fry, cake and homemade ice cream. All Todd's favorites!!!
