Some Serious Re-Caping

While it technically has not been that long since I have posted something but I have a lot of pictures and stuff to share anyway.  We have had a busy few months and with summer just around the corner it is only gonna get more nutso.  Here is some of what we've been up to:

Owen Turned 4!! 

Had his 1st and Last day of Soccer!

don't ask.

Spencer got a new BBQ and has been cooking ridiculously large amounts of meat.

(the smoke must have blown out his face, it couldn't have been my camera skills!) 

Eli had a BIRTHDAY!

Eli had a Party

Cousins Came

Eli had another cake

 The kids and I had to get up early on a Saturday to watch Dad, Uncle Ian, and Uncle Judd do a Triathlon! It was pretty rough on us, but at least we didn't have to bike, run or swim!

Grandma Cath was there!

Spencer did Pretty freaking AWESOME!

I missed seeing him at the finish line:(

THREE Generations of Athleticism 

 Spencer and Judd stained my sheets with their stupid numbers! 

 Spencer was admitted to Hogwarts

THE END

Cool Kid Corner, Here We Come!

Does it get any cooler than this?

Yep, Sure does.......

Seriously, If he can keep this up he will for sure have a pass to the cool kid corner. I can't wait!

Craft Update

Remember This? I didn't either until a week ago, looks like I missed the deadline, but who really cares? Since Judd asked me to buy his craft I am going to call the cereal that he ate this weekend at my house his craft! As for the rest of you, you are lucky I had a couple hours of conference to watch this weekend.

For Sam I made a little headband for Claire with some inter-changeable flowers,

For Whitney, I made you a snow hat.(I think Owen did a pretty snazzy job of taking this picture of me!)

Sam and Whitney email me your mailing addresses and I will mail these little beauties off in a jiffy!

Look Out World

There's a new racer in town!

A few weeks ago Spencer injured his knee doing Jiu-Jitsu. His Doctor says that until they figure out exactly what they need to do to fix it that he should not do Jiu-jitsu or Racquetball (anything that has lunges or twisting of the knee ect..) The Doctor did say he could Swim, Run, Walk, and Bike. So guess who is training for a triathlon? The Sman ran in his first official race on Saturday and did pretty awesome, it was the Dam to Dam race, and he did the 5 miles in 46 minutes. Here's a few pictures of my little Tri-Athlete! GOoooo BABE!!

10am start time was a little too early for Eli

(that's funny since he wakes up at 5:30?)

Sergio, I love/ hate him.

Owen is mostly over taking naps. Last week after lunch Owen told me he was "ready for his nap now." I was pretty excited that he would want to go to sleep. 95% of the time Sergio ruins our naps by barking at people knocking at the front door or a bird he sees out the window. I have to lay down by Owen when he takes naps, I am not sure why, but it is the only way we have found that he will actually fall asleep, then I can sneak out and have some me time. Anyway, Just as he was drifting off to sleep, I remembered the dog, and went to get him to bring him in by us so he couldn't hear the door, or see any birds. He (the dog) runs into Owen's room, and jumps up on my pillow and blanket. Before I could even tell him to "Get off!!" he PUKES all over my pillow!! Never mind to that nap, since my afternoon would now be full of laundering all of Owen's bedding ect. I HATE this Dog!!!

skip to the next morning... here is a clip of him being super patient and nice with Eli. Seriously is any dog this good with kids??

P.S. Don't worry, I am certain we brushed his teeth before this.

P.P.S. We already know he is super fat, he eats the kids food like crazy. I am thinking that is why he is so nice to them, he couldn't scare away his main treat source, right?
