  • About a week ago (I think?!  Two weeks? The days are starting to blend together a bit for me lately 🙂 we went on a walk on the trails near our house. We went with Grandma and Grampa and had a GREAT time! It was, however, a groundhog-day sort of walk. The kind of walk…

  • The first day of preschool!!! Wahoo! Jacob was excited to start school, however was NOT excited about me trying to take pictures of him. (And you’ll have to indulge me a bit – most of this is for Eric as I can only email him about 2 pictures at a time – much easier to…

  • I’m just loving having a garden this year. While we didn’t plant that much, it’s amazing to me just how much we’ve been able to harvest! We’ve been eating snap peas like crazy people! And look what was hiding… A few cukes!! The pumpkins are growing OUT of the garden!!   The kids wanted to…

  • Ah! There is nothing like a good get-away vacation! The kids and I joined my sister and her family for a week at their cabin in Idaho! So much fun! Hannah is ready to ride!! Lucky for us – Uncle has some awesome quads!! My kids were in serious heaven!   Hannah and I headed…

  • And here are the three pictures I downloaded from the professional ones taken at the Warrior Dash! AHHHH! We DID it!!! FIRE Baby!!!!!! So FUN! PURE muddy fun!   It was such a blast! So glad to spend the fun day with my sister and her family! And get nice and dirty!

  • Okay, that may be just a tad bit unrealistic. Although I may consider wearing a sign warning people that if they are considering having children, they should look away as watching our family in action just may be the best form of birth control ever. We went to breakfast with friends at a local restaurant…

  • Just had to share the pictures from last weekend! This one was about mile 4-5 🙂 Feeling great and loving the sunshine that morning despite the cold temp!   The rest of the pics are from the finish line…..     It seems like I do this at the end of every run. I don’t…

  • The sun decided to emerge today so without hesitation we loaded up and decided to hit the trail!! (Yes, it did take the usual half hour to get us dressed, peeing, and loaded up!) Yep, that’s our version of sun-peeking thru the grey clouds! Basically – if its not raining, its considered “nice out”. At…

  • Now that we have our internet up and the house is starting to look like a home as the cardboard sea subsides…..I had to take a moment to share our See You Laters and our Welcome Backs! Jayde was my neighbor in Hawaii – STRONG CHICKS!! So much fun to workout one last time where…
