First Day of School





Ryan and Gabe started school last Monday, August 15th. Ryan started 8th grade at Desert Hills Middle School and Gabe started 6th grade at Sunrise Ridge Intermediate School. I was more excited than they were. Gabe was pretty nervous but is doing well so far. I think keeping him focused and organized may be a challenge but we can do it! I'm so proud of what wonderful young men they are becoming!

Jason's Birthday



It is OK to kiss your pilot when you are related!


I have an awesome brother in law, Brad, who is a helicopter pilot. For Jason's birthday I bought him an hour long trip with Brad. He loved it so much and was in awe of Brad's talents as a pilot. He said it was one of the greatest experiences of his life, aside from marrying me of course!

Marathon


I ran my first and probably only marathon September 18, 2010, in Logan, Utah. Jason ran with me (his 3rd) and his brother Mike, and sister, Diane also ran. The training was hard because I work and we trained in the summer we often would get up at 4 am for the long runs to beat the heat and make it to work on time. It was quite an accomplishment for us all.

New Post

I haven't posted in over a year. I don't journal so I really should do this more. It has been a busy year. I've always thought things would get easier once my kids get older but it seems that every year presents new challenges. I am going to do several posts in no particular order...
