I have bad feet and haven&#8217;t walked in a while let alone run. My sister who has been working out a lot asked me to do the 5K with her. I had just gotten my new orthotics and thought I would try it since I had walked 4 times this week before for about an hour.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.impactahero.org/">Impact a Hero 5K</a> took place in Sugarland, Texas. Impact A Hero is a non-partisan 501(c) (3) organization, created to provide a simple mechanism for individuals and corporations to help provide emotional and financial support for our severely wounded /disabled War on Terror veterans and their families. Donations are tax-deductible. </p>
<p>We wanted our nephew Jacob to run but he decided against it. We did get Mason and our other nephew Jordan to run the kids 1K!</p>
<p>She signed us up at &#8220;We Run for Torillas!&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/imelda/4671798659/" title="Team: We Run For Tortillas! by .imelda, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4019/4671798659_aeb5485656.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Team: We Run For Tortillas!" /></a></p>
<p>It took me 42 minutes and I listened to the <a href="http://pixiesmusic.com/">Pixes</a> the whole time! Thanks Joey Santiago! <em><strong>Note:</strong> They are touring again and passing through Houston and Austin, among other cities! I already bought my tickets! </em></p>
<p>Mason and Jordan had a bit of rivalry going on. Each thought they were going to win. Mason out grew his running shoes. I was busy Friday so I sent Corinna to get Mason a new pair of shoes but asked her for the wrong size. Race morning, they were too small and he had to wear is Vans.</p>
<p>Mason was a bit nervous and I was at the starting line with him but when the gun went off, he took off! Lightning fast! I was worried he would stop and turn around and realize I wasn&#8217;t right there with him.</p>
<p>I waited for the turn around and when I saw this little pair of Vans from a far, I knew it was my little Mason! I thought he was going to stop when he saw me so I ran with him in to the finish line!</p>

<p>I was soo proud of him! But all he could talk about was, &#8220;I beat Jordan! I beat Jordan!&#8221;</p>
<p>Jordan came in a few minutes after but he did fantastic as well! </p>

<p>All and all, it was a great morning with family, fun and exercise!</p>

<p>It&#8217;s very <strong>rare</strong> that I get a photo with all my kids. It&#8217;s very rare that I get even a photo with one of my kids, because I&#8217;m usually the one taking the photos in the family.</p>
<p><strong>I LOVE this PHOTO! I LOVE my KIDS!</strong></p>
<p>Jack is new to the bunch and we all just adore him. He&#8217;s a very easy baby. He&#8217;s &#8216;over coked&#8217; so that may have something to do with it. He&#8217;s 7 months now and already has 7 teeth and knows how to use them ;)</p>
<p>Mason is preparing for Kindergarten and turning 5 later this month. He is learning soo much at school including writing, math and some reading. He is becoming so helpful around the house, offering to help with dishes and laundry. He LOVES dinosaurs right now and always ask to be read his dinosaur books. He also watches the Science Channel a lot and says &#8220;Dinosuars are his kind of science&#8221;. Smart kid! Maybe he&#8217;ll be a scientist like his uncle or grandfather.</p>
<p>Danielle is strong willed, smart, beautiful and I am so proud of her. She completed High School early and will celebrate commencements at Reliant Stadium in early June. She has been doing a lot of babysitting and also is a nanny for a particular family. She loves being around kids and hopes to become a teacher. Of course the teen years can be rocky, but Danielle is growing past that and I love watching her grow and progress. </p>
<p>Matt is taking the photo so he&#8217;s not in it. Matt is Matt. He&#8217;s great as long as he has his boys! </p>
<p>Very good day today! Very thankful!</p>

When I heard &#8220;ICE CREAM&#8221;, I couldn&#8217;t refuse. Other who were invited where <a href="http://amomblog.com/chevy-blue-bell-tour/">Nanette #1</a>, <a href="http://healasister.wordpress.com/2010/04/28/chevy-blue-bell-day/">Nanette #2</a>, <a href="http://itsalmostnaptime.blogspot.com/">Missy</a> and <a href="http://mcwhorterfamily.blogspot.com/">Ashley</a>.</p>
<p>The day started with us meeting up at Lone Star Chevrolet, meeting some of the sales and marketing teams including <a href="http://twitter.com/GMTexas">Donna McLallen</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/ChevyTexan">Vanessa Astros</a>. I met Donna at <a href="http://www.mom2summit.com">Mom 2.0 Summit 2010</a> in February. We signed papers and went to pick out our cars we&#8217;d drive to <a href="http://www.brenhamtexas.com/">Brenham, Texas</a>! I had never been to Brenham so I was pretty excited about going. I love small Texas towns so glad I got the opportunity.</p>
<p>Since I was recently a <a href="http://www.imeldabettinger.com/blog/2010/03/21/chevy-girlfriend-getaway-kickoff/">Chevy Girl on the Go</a> and got to test drive a Malibu for a month, I wanted to try a different car. We picked the <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/traverse/">Traverse</a>! Man, that car is roomy!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/imelda/4559529478/" title="Chevrolet Traverse by .imelda, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3099/4559529478_7beca17e57.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Chevrolet Traverse" /></a><br />
<br clear="all"/></p>
<p>We were given a walk through of this crossover vehicle that fits 7 or 8 passengers. This LTZ model was loaded with heated and cooled front seats, second row captains chairs, OnStar, XM Radio, Rear Parking Assist, Remote start (favorite!), power remote lift gate, Rearview camera system, Bluetooth, 115-volt outlet, DVD player and a ton of space! I have a Chevy Trailblazer and really wanted to compare the size. This vehicle is much roomier and fits more people but doesn&#8217;t feel huge on the outside. It was also AWD and had a much smoother, quieter ride.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/imelda/4559529720/" title="Chevrolet Traverse... sooo roomy by .imelda, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3483/4559529720_edbd5feaae.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Chevrolet Traverse... sooo roomy" /></a><br />
<br clear="all"/></p>
<p>We arrived at <a href="http://www.bluebell.com/">Blue Bell Creamery</a> and were given a tour! I didn&#8217;t realize how old the company was,  103 years old this coming August! A Blue Bell is actually a purple flower. We got to see a number of flavors being made as well as some novelty items. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/imelda/4558900555/" title="Mason and Matt and Blue Bell by .imelda, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3428/4558900555_640fdaa403.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Mason and Matt and Blue Bell" /></a><br />
<br clear="all"/></p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/imelda/4559537646/" title="Blue Bell Creamery by .imelda, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3358/4559537646_5897856dd3.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Blue Bell Creamery" /></a><br />
<br clear="all" /></p>
<p>Every employee gets to eat as much ice cream as they want. If I worked there, I would eat so much of one of their newest creations, Happy Tracks! At the end of the tour we get to try the ice cream of course. I didn&#8217;t know what flavor that was until this tour and its already a favorite. Creamy vanilla ice cream loaded with chocolate-coated peanut butter cups and a dark chocolate fudge swirl. Even Matt loved it. Mason had Rainbow Sherbet.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/imelda/4558670428/" title="Take your kid to Blue Bell Creamery and they will soo love you! by .imelda, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3073/4558670428_176a9bdbe7.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Take your kid to Blue Bell Creamery and they will soo love you!" /></a><br />

<p>So we eat Ice Cream first then go for lunch? Ok, fine with me! Matt is a huge BBQ fan while I don&#8217;t eat it, but it was still fun to head out to <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/place?oe=utf-8&#038;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&#038;um=1&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;q=big+daddy+brenham&#038;fb=1&#038;gl=us&#038;hq=big+daddy&#038;hnear=brenham&#038;cid=39606583260826070">Big Daddy&#8217;s BBQ</a>. We used OnStar Turn by Turn Navigation to there. We were able to take the scenic route through town. We didn&#8217;t have time to stop anywhere but its definitely a town I want to come back and explore.</p>
<p>Matt and Mason had to have their brisket and both were very satisfied. If you want to try the Best BBQ in Washington County, its located in the Shell Gas Station.</p>

My new car!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not every day you are chosen to drive a brand new car for a month with super cool activities planned around it but it happened to me and four other Houston women!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m so excited to be apart of the <a href="http://www.girlfriendgetawayhouston.com/">Chevy Girlfriend Getaway Houston</a> program where I get the opportunity to drive a <a href="http://www.chevrolet.com/malibu/">Chevy Malibu</a> for a month and blog about my experiences!</p>

<p>I got to pick up my car, meet the other four women, have lunch provided by Panera and take photos on the roof of the building! </p>

<p>My new car is provided by <a href="http://www.classicchevysugarland.com/">Classic Chevrolet of Sugar Land</a>. I&#8217;m here pictured with Joe Machacek and Howie Bently. They gave me a run down of all the cars features and bells and whistles like OnStar and the fabulous XM Radio! Oh and how could I forget, Bluetooth so I can talk on my iPhone hands free! </p>

<p>I&#8217;ll be posting videos about my many outings in the very roomy and zippy car.  If you want to see how awesome it is for yourself, head to your nearest Chevy dealership and take a test drive, and they’ll give you a FREE one hour massage from <a href="http://www.massageenvy.com/">Massage Envy</a>!</p>
<p>Welcome to the adventure!</p>
