We took a little adventure Sunday. We found a trail up by the cemetary right here in lil old Uintah. It was SO amazing! The trail went on and on and on forever! We had such a fun time! Lib rode on dads shoulders while the rest of us hiked our butts off! (i needed to move because my bottom half of my body was SO SORE from the race the day before) We ended up by Walmart and had to call for a ride, but we had a GREAT TIME!!
I've ran in this race since 2006, minus 2009 when i had Libbi. I just HAD to do it this year! With very little running, mostly crossfit training, old shoes and a 3 month old baby i DID WELL! I was super happy with my results AND the way i felt after. The night before we all put on an old shirt and my medals and talked about 'doing hard things' I hope the kids will always try things even if they may be hard. This race was going to be hard! I knew it was. But i really wanted to prove to myself and my kids that I COULD DO HARD THINGS!! I'm SOOO happy i did it! It was a very peaceful run, with lots of time to think and ponder. Hard things will come to us in life and if we are prepared for them, knowing we can handle them, we will endure MUCH more than we think!
We had Anna and Hudson over to make cookies.
They say your 4th gets neglected. Well its true. NOT intentionally, but its HARD to share my attention with FOUR kids! and a hubby! So Drew gets drug to the park instead of naptime, but see, i bundle him just fine!
I hosted a Mothers Day dinner this year complete with cookies, flowers and lots of love! I love hosting parties so it was my mothers day present to myself!
This is our little hint of summer and camping! The Pettys have some land that they invited us over to for some fishin and hot dogs!
The blessing posts are all out of whack, but i'm tired, so i don't care :) This was our wonderful centerpieces! I was SOOO crafty (which NEVER happens!) I made these cute taffy sticks in white tins, then with the help of friends i made the matching poms! The luncheon was SUPPOSE to be in our backyard (ugh) but Mother Nature is NOT cooperating this spring! So we did it at the old town hall. It worked out just fine :)
O i could just eat him up!!
What a special day. I was very excited to have a 'traditional' blessing for Drew. I felt robbed with Libbi. We blessed her at home with just a few close family members. No big party, and we all know i LOVE a party!
Yup. You see it. Our dryer BLEW UP!! It's a good darn thing Kurt was home and in the kitchen, he said he heard a pop, walked in and the whole room was smoke. He immediately opened the dryer door and flames burst out! The only recognizeable thing in there were Jerzis favorite jammies. Everything else was ashes. (i have later learned that my FAV VS sweats were in there :()
