First 5K of the Year

Chels and I ran the "Freeze Your Buns 5K" today.  She is so dang much fun to run with.  Chels got 2nd place in her age group and I got 3rd in mine.  Dustin and Brinley are so great to support me, even when it means standing around in freezing cold weather.  Can't wait to run another one.

Hardware Ranch

We drove up to Hardware Ranch last night.  Took a picnic, listened to some John Allred and watched the Elk.  I absolutely love spending time with my little family!

The Light of My Life

This particular day felt like spring to me. The ground was covered in snow, but thanks to this little ray of sunshine in my life it felt like spring.

Sledding

Who needs sisters when you've got a dog?

The other day I walked in on Brinley pampering Roxy... so cute!  She had her little blow dryer and curling iron out and even put this necklace on her (whatever it its).

New Blog

I now contribute to a blog called Working For a Better Life.  For motivation and information on exercise and nutrition check out http://www.exerciseaddicts.blogspot.com/

Our Important Guest

We have someone staying with us.  It's a friend of Brinley's. Although I can not see him, she insists her friend is there. She said it's a boy and he's big with black hair.  As she proceeded to tell me about this 'imaginary friend' she mentioned that his name is "Jesus".  He spent most of the morning with us.  She said he's really nice and he likes to play with her, they play with her toys.  Jesus disappeared while we were dancing to Kellie Clarkston on the radio and Brinley roamed around the house calling, "Jesussss?  Jesusss?".  She must have found him because she informed me that he would be joining us at gymnastics.   I must say that I feel honored to have such an important guest in our home.  In a world with all of this chaos he still took time to be a friend to my daughter and cheer her on at gymnastics.    I wonder if our 'guest' is here to stay or just passing by?

Life With Children

Brinley spends lots of time running around the house looking like this.  She loves dress up clothes!  Sometimes she requests that I call her "fairy".  Her latest thing is wearing her tiara backwards.   Her fairy wand is a must have when it comes to dress ups.  It's an accessory that must be included with all of her outfits.  Earlier today she walked up behind Dustin wearing this and I head him say "OUCH" and Brinley quickly replied "Well, it's a temperature."  In other words,  this fairy wand doubles as a rectal thermometer.

The Fun Park

We went with my sister and her kids to the fun park.  I thought Brinley would love the soft play, but she told me there was "to much people."
