Spring break

I had to take a picture of this...Georgia drew this picture of Kendall and Georgia. The short one is Kendall she even has short hair, and Georgia is TALL with long hair. Love IT!! The pink eyelashes and all!!

Sunday we hiked Hewletts Glutch, (part of it) and lunch at Noodles then came back home and relaxed for the rest of the day. Our friends left Monday morning. The girls sharing rocks while stopped for a "throwing rocks in the stream" break. The hiking kids..Jett, Georgia, Kendall and Devin. Andon stayed home with dad.

Too Cute!

Mommy and Jett starting our Hewletts Glutch trail hike.

My parents came out last weekend, we ate pizza and swam at the hotel. Did shopping, eating out, and dog park. The kids left with them on Sunday for the week. They went to Wolf Creek lodge, the farm, named kitties and played with cousins ALL week! Leigh came out Friday with her kids and brought Kendall with them. The girls chatted the whole way! (Deon got the boys on Sat. in Burlington).

Little best friends-look at our dresses! These two little girls got along SO well. That is a good thing-since there mommies have been best friends since high school, they will be stuck together for many more years ;) Playing out back and a trip to Target, Jo-Annes, and Chipolette. After Target the girls just wanted to go home to play with their new babies.

Welcome home banner. I hung a these "We missed You" signs while the kids were gone.

Kendall's sign-note the clean room in the background-the ground was covered with toys the very next day.

While the kids were Gone:

Deon had his first experience with sushi. Dixie went to the Dog park and grocery shopping with us. Loveland pass ski area-

Deon and I snuck away.

Deon's wipe out

US!

Yes we did go this route! It was not my favorite!

Swimming and hot tub another night. I swam 1 mile before relaxing in the hot tub. That 1 mile took me about an hour-Geez...it was 72 laps

Cooked dinner together a couple nights and watched movies.

Weekly workout

This past week:

My skies are dusted off, waxed and bought lift tickets for two...Ski Date Tomorrow!

Multi-tasking

It's a Sunday night at our house:
I am cooking dinner, Kendall is dancing to Christmas music in the kitchen, the dog is barking at the back door,
Andon is reading at the kitchen table,

and Devin is listening to music to drown out his sister's whiny voice that she had going on before dancing, he is sitting on the kitchen counter reading out loud to me
All I can say is MULTITASKING!

Boys at Work!

Last week we had snow-but the boys still had school. Notice the nicely shoveled patio? Thanks to Devin for spending all his time shoveling :)

Kendall is 100% sure she can fly like Tinkerbell. Even after explaining the difference in size, bone density, and weight, she still thinks if she runs fast enough, she WILL fly! So after shoveling the front driveway, I had to run up and down the sidewalk to see if we could fly. Even with the Ladybug costume on she stayed on ground/heart breaking {sigh}

On the bright side, she managed to find lots of snow to throw at me while {squeezed} into her winter coat, ski bibs and lady bug costume that she wore for her 2nd Halloween adventure.

Looks like more snow/rain is coming this evening.

Weekly workout

So my thoughts are to post my weekly workouts as well as journal regularly about events that occur in my life. When my kids are older they can read this blog and remember all the fun times we had as a family.

Since I am running the Flying Pig 5K April 10 AND the Colorado 10K May 1, I am starting my training this week. At least while I am training I would like to post my workouts.

Monday: trained with Suzanne-ran on the treadmill using the manual mode WITH ankle weights and weight training in between treadmill sets.
Tuesday-day off, worked on the boys Derby cars
Wednesday: ran 3 miles
Thursday: jogged 2.5 miles
Friday: 5 sets of 20 dead lifts with 20 lb weights
Saturday or Sunday:Run again-another 3-4 miles{off the other day}

We helped take pictures. I was in the photo room all night, I heard the boys had fun running around with Evan, they saw lots of their school friends and had some money of their own to buy snacks-so grown up!
