March 2015

I don't know if I should love or hate this picture. Too cute but way too sassy at the same time.

Just had to take a shot of a typical morning. Most likely Sydney is at play.

Brigham. This kid is silly and really getting a mind of his own. I'm glad I caught this face...its his favorite lately.

I was at Ammon's track meet in 60 degree weather, while Doug and the girls were up at Skytavern- snow skiing. Reno's a pretty great place.

As if pushing the two kids wasn't enough...

In May, actually the day after Liz and Jimmy's wedding, Doug and I, and Erika and Chad are running the Provo river Half marathon. They have a kids race as well which they call a kids Marathon. The kids have to run 25 miles prior to race day and then they get to run the last 1.2 miles to complete a marathon distance. We asked if the girls thought it would be something they'd be interested in and both were pretty excited. So far, the training has gone well. I absolutely love that we live across the street from Swope middle school. The girls go run around the track while I prepare dinner and I can watch the whole time. I don't ever want to push them into running, but it gets me a little excited watching them run.

It happens so rarely that I get to volunteer but our schedules worked out so that I could accompany Leah on a field trip. I love being in her element and watching her interact with friends.

Doug and I finally got back on our Mountain bikes for a date night. I hope this happens a lot more in the near future. The best part about it was that we hit the trails only five minutes from our home. It was a blast!

We hit up Costa Vida after our ride, Doug's feet were cold. He has no shame wearing socks with sandals...old man Doxey.

Before Clayson headed off to Idaho, he made us a true African feast.

One of the days for "Reading Week" was dress as your favorite book character. I'm not sure we picked our favorites but we found some cute costumes to go with Red Riding Hood and Amelia Bedilia. Complete with some mini muffins. Oh year, it was an over-the-top kind of day for me. And it felt so good.

Soccer season = soccer Saturdays. Its great to be outside, and I love watching our aggressive little Paige on the field, sometimes Mom is about as aggressive on the sidelines.

And Brigham is starting to stand by himself...lookout! 

Leah and I going to the General Woman's Broadcast. I'm so happy they changed the age to attend to 8. Time alone with my girls is becoming more and more valuable. I love this sweet, gentle Leah. And I'm so grateful we get to go listen to Revelation for our day specifically geared towards women.

Can't get enough of this kid!

While we were waiting at the doctor office on afternoon, I got a kick out of this. Leah, babysitting and knitting all in one! Knitting though? So funny to me- after-all, I don't even know how to!

Sydney the carnivore!
