Kiss Me Dirty Race @ Wheeler Farm

Ya...I felt pretty tough after army crawling through mud and wading up to my knees in freezing muddy water.
This is our team after the race...pretty dirty!
That's me covered in foam. I superman slid across the finish which was a mistake. It was gritty from other's mud and I landed with a big thud on my chest.
Mallory played with foam at the finish line while I ran.
and so did Logan.
This is about half way through the race. I told Jeremy to take my picture mostly cause I was needing a little break at the 2 mile mark.
This is our team pre-race. Still cute and ready to go.
Getting siked up for the race....oh yeah!

Wheeler Farm with the English Family

This past Saturday we headed to Wheeler Farm for a lunch with all of Jeremy's family. The kids had fun hanging out with their cousins and we went and looked at all the animals after we ate. We brought of loaf of bread to feed the ducks, but they were the most stuck up ducks I've ever seen. They must be overfed by people who visit. The chickens on the other hand were all to eager to eat our bread, so we gave them some as well.

Hogle Zoo

Every Thursday our neighborhood has outings planned all through the summer. This weeks outing was going to Hogle Zoo. The weather was perfect and the kids had a lot of fun. Some of the dinosaurs throughout the park squirt water out. I learned this the hard way of course.

Cousins and Summer

Summer is finally starting to get here. The weather was actually warm enough last night to be outside.

Mallory's first piano recital

Mallory had her first piano recital and did awesome. She played her song perfect and looked fabulous doing it! Great job Mallory!

This is her teacher Valerie, who lives just up the street from us.

Getting the yard done...

Lots and lots of topsoil...
yay for garden boxes. Now lets see if I can even grow something in them.
Starting to lay sod.
about half way done with the sod.

I am so happy that we were able to get the yard done and only after being here for seven months in our new house.

Lyndie's preschool graduation

Her teachers this year were Mrs. Sweet and Maribel. They were so great for her and definitely got her ready for Kindergarten. Great job Lyndie!

Race for the Cure 2011

Ali smoked us all...less than 30 minutes for her....



My friends and I have been training to run a 5k since February and today was the day. We all did fantastic and all our hard work paid off. So fun...:)

Learning to "copy-cat"

Sawyer has started copying this face we make at him. We laugh so hard each time. The funniest part is that he doesn't know how funny it is when he does it. He just holds his face like this. He is so cute!

other easter things and spring break 2011

These pics are our attempt at going to the zoo on spring break. We got about an hour and half in it started raining pretty hard, so we had to go. We only got about half the animals seen we wanted to, so we will make another trip back this summer sometime.




These pics are of our neighborhood Easter egg hunt. We had bagels and the kids had a huge area to hunt for eggs in. It was a lot of fun and of course the kids had a blast.

This last picture is Logan sneaking his candy before we headed home. Not very sneaky if you ask me...
