And He's Off

Jer is once again the Man and completed his third triathlon. Isn't he inspiring! He did great this year and his time improves each time he races. He had to run 3.1 miles, bike 11 miles, and then swim 600 meters. You are awesome babe! Later that weekend, we also took the kids hiking to see a waterfall. They had a great time and it was so nice outside. Right now, it is snowing at our house, so I had to post pictures of us enjoying the nice weather, so I can remember that it will be nice again soon and we can go back outside, where we are all happier!

Spring is the air

It is finally nice outside! Yea! I am always so happy when the sun is out and I can feel its warmth. The kids and I have been spending most of our days outside enjoying the warmer weather and I took some pictures the other day, so I thought that I would post them. Michael would live outside if I would let him. Also, my poor brother broke his nose while playing rugby (rugby is crazy!!! where's the padding!!!). He had to go through a very painful surgery and recovery, but he is finally doing better. He had to wear a nose cast and guard for a few weeks, so I had to post a picture of him. Glad you are on the mend.

Easter

Happy Easter! I can't believe Easter has come and gone. Time is moving too fast. We had a wonderful Easter holiday. Sheryl and Nick and their kiddos came and stayed with us Friday night and Michael and Tanner had a great time coloring easter eggs and then finding them. Then Jeremy's mom invited us up for Easter Sunday. The kids were spoiled as usual by the Easter bunny and by their grandparents. And it was also wonderful to watch General Conference and celebrate the resurrection of our Savior. I love holidays, especially one's where there are large amounts of candy present!

Boondocks Rocks

Michael just can't get enough of Boondocks. In fact, he has been twice within the past week and a half. We were able to go once with my sister and he family and once with Jer's dads family. Both times Michael had a blast and we were there for four hours of non-stop fun. Michael had a great time on the go-carts, bumper boats, and the jungle gym area. He even bowled once and Jer tried the batting cages. We had a lot of fun, but now Michael thinks this is how all of our weekends should be spent. Oh, the joys of being young.

Blast from the Past

This past weekend I was able to get together with my high school girlfriends and have a girls night. We went out to Iggys and had a great time catching up. I must say that I am so glad that we still keep in touch and get together every once in a while. I had to post a picture of us now and then a picture of us in high school. I love you gals!

Birthday Bash and More

We like to party and had quite the shindig at my sister's house. My brother and mom had a birthday and we decided to have another mexican fiesta. My cousins and grandma came and we even busted open a pinata. When the pinata was finally busted open by Mitch, out flew a cute little box which contained an engagement ring. Then, my cousin Mitch got down on his knees and proposed to his girlfriend! It was so fun to have the family together and to share in his special moment. After all, isn't life really all about family!

Itty Bitty Ball

Michael started Itty Bitty Ball a couple weeks ago and is having a blast. It is so cute. They teach all these three and four year old girls and boys how to play different sports. There are a total of six classes and they teach them how to play soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and football. He is on team Batman and now now likes to go around the house saying "Go Batman." At first he was so shy but by the third class he was able to go out there and stay with his team the whole time and participate without having me there by his side. When did he get to be so big!
