Lately I have been a little stressed out for a whirlwind of reasons, so instead of illegal substances (just a joke, dont freak out mom!) I have turned to dancing around my house after Camden goes to bed to the latest teen pop songs. One day I will look back and laugh...
My new favorite hit, already listened to it like 10 times today... Cam thinks its totally hot too!

Marathoning baby
On your mark, get ready, get set, 3, 2, 1 GO! Its race time! Last Saturday morning I ran a 5K for a friends charity in Xenia, OH and to my surprise I finished in the top 5! I had no idea my body even knew what the word "fast twitch" muscle fiber meant, let alone had any... haha. (all my exerc sci geeks get the humor behind the last sentence). The race started at 9am and that early in mid October, Ohio weather can be a bit unpredictable - like 40 degrees and windy ... no wonder I ran fast, I was COLD!! I am looking forward to more races and couple half marathons here in the next couple months, before the really cold weather takes over the Miami Valley and all I want to do is stay under the covers and drink excessive amounts of Hot Chocolate. By this year Kroger probably has a special stock of the low cal Swiss Miss in the back with my name on it.
On Sunday I bundled Cam up and took her for a hour jog around the neighborhood. Since I run with super speed now, I made sure to layer her up with a hat, hoodie and blanket so the breeze wouldnt be too cold for her. Little did I know my super speed is only possible with the adrenaline of race day, so my super sonic run turned into more of a brisk walk... haha! Either way I think she had fun, just check out the pics below...
not a half mile into my workout and she was OUT!
Watch the drool kid!
Go Gators, Cam rides in style!

Go Gators, Cam rides in style! By the way, Tebow was cleared for Saturday's game vs. LSU in Death Valley. He helped lead the Gators to a modest 13-3 victory. The Gator defense really deserves the credit, led by Senior Brandon Spikes they held LSU to a measley 3 pts! Go Gators, this weekend is homecoming in Gainesville. My predictions thus far... Alabama and UF in the sec championship game with an SEC team definetly in the BCS Championship Game.
T- minus 4 weeks till I am back in FL, Nov. 5 here I come G-ville

New Foods and Polka Dots
Camden has recently discovered how yummy real fruit is, she loves melons, strawberries, bananas, grapes, almost any thing. Its funny to watch her miticulously pick up each little piece and then shovel it into her mouth... ahhh the little things in life.
Camden is eating more and more real people food and less jarred baby food. Its awesome she eats what we eat, like tonight we had lasagna for dinner and Camden loves italian food. She just goobles up the noodles and meat sauce.
Miss Polka Dot! here she is in her super cute sweater from Molly and Marie last winter, She is finally big enough to fit all her cute fall jackets.

Oh Tim Tebow!
As many of you know I had tears in my eyes Saturday evening as I watched the Gators handle the UK Wildcats. These tears were not soley of joy, they in fact were triggered by the sudden and unexpected injury to UF's Superman Tim Tebow. Tebow was blasted by a UK player during the thrid quarter, he never saw it coming... BAM! "Down goes Tebow, Down goes Tebow" to make it worse his own lineman jacked the back of his head on his way down from the initial collision. Tebow suffered a concussion, he was later carted off vomitting into a bag (key sign of a concussion) and kept at the UK medical center overnight as a precaution.
Tebow is now attending team meetings, but is still out of contact practices. Reports lead us to believe he will fully recover and be back for the LSU game on the 10th, next Saturday. Dont get me wrong John Brantley, the back up for Florida is a class act, a great quarterback, just at this point it would be awesome to see the full impact of a healthy Tebow on UF's season and college football in general.

Let the good times roll
Who ME? Caught red handed dragging out cd's, video game controllers and who knows what else out of one of the entertainment centers. Camden has a new found fascination with cabinets, I dont even mess with toys, I just open the tupperware cabinet and let the good times roll, literally there are lids rolling everywhere -- haha! (yes, I am laughing at my own pun). Moving on... 
Who loves Grandma and Grandpa Stopka in Florida.... WE DO! Camden and I took another trip to see my family about 2 weeks ago, we had a blast, my sister even took me out to relive the old college days -- I lasted till about 11pm. My mom bought Camden this awesome toy, its a car, a walker and everything in between, Cam loved it
A Savant (spelling?) At least a child prodigy, Camden is making beautiful music at her great- grandmas house. After the initial surprise of the sound, she loved the piano -- hey whatever gets her a scholarship to college - haha!

DIY AGAIN...
Up next ... The bathroom
This time the DIY fairy decided to tackle the guest/hall bathroom. After our initial decision to paint the bathroom a very vibrant yellow after we moved in over a year ago, I finally found a better, more relaxing, rejuvinating color for the space. I tried to go with a spa blue, refreshing feel. It still needs bathmats and some artwork but the 4 hours of painting, triming and taping were finished last night at about 11pm (I started when Camden went to bed)
For the Love of Bathtime
After an incredibly messy dinner, Camden was ready for a long, soapy bath. Here she is covered in green beans, cereal and who knows how many puffs and cheerios. Earlier in the meal she did have a shirt on but after protesting and refusing to eat until her shirt was off, I finally gave in. Now I know what you are thinking, "how did you know she wanted her shirt off?" Well our princess was tugging, pulling and screaming while trying to get her shirt over her head. Yes, she is determined!
Green Bean Fu Man Chu - Its the latest craze
Camden also kept hitting her chest/stomach after each bite, as to say "FEED ME, MORE MORE"
Me and the babe, this time with no green bean residue
Camden loves bathtime, or anything else having to do with water, as soon as I turn the tub on, she is squirming and trying to get into the tub. I can barely hold her back.
This picture is awesome, I snapped the camera right as the gator was falling off her head, it looks to be stuck to the side of her head
Everybody loves a good bath, especially after a messy day of play
