Summer do

So, today I got an itch and shaved Ivan's hair! I had to take him though to Great Clips to get it touched up, my razor was older than I thought and it left him looking really funny. So he got his hair fixed and looks SUPER HANDSOME! Enjoy!

Ride and Park

My kids love going for bike rides and so do I! They are definitely growing because the trailer is becoming harder to pull. Anyways, the night was perfect, windy and cool. I thought we were gonna get rained on riding home, but got lucky. Elle and Ivan are more interested in playing in the sand/stones than the actual playground, so enjoy!

Tuesday night game

Elle had a game tonight and she was very excited to go. She really enjoys soccer now, even though she is scared to kick the ball in the game. She tells me "the ball will hurt my legs." I tell her that is what the shin guards are for. Anyways, she did get to kick the ball at the start of one of the quarters. I wish I had taken a photo of her face, she was so EXCITED! She was very proud of herself and I was happy to see it.

She had a great night for fans. She had 4 friends plus her brother there cheering her on. They were screaming pretty much in unison "GO ELLE!" the entire time she played. Super sweet of the kids. Here are some photos from tonight's game, enjoy!

Happiness

Everyday I find something that will make me happier than I was when I woke up. Whether its a song, a friend, a quote, laughing, seriously anything, I will find it. This morning was kind of rough, had a friend that was really bummed out, another friend come over to tell me news that made me cry, then the contractors came to rip out my cabinets with out me knowing. So the morning was rough, but I tried not to let it affect me.

After I cleaned out my cabinets to prepare them for demo, two friends and I went for pedicures. MUCH NEEDED ONES! Got home, Brody and I ate lunch, he is napping now and I got on the internet. I love reading Kandee's blogs and I don't do it often enough, but when I do, IT HELPS ME! She is just the most positive person, the type of person I see myself as. I can't always be that bubbly, positive person I want to be, but I sure try. Check out this video she has posted on her blog

Then I found this awesome quote..."Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true!"

Enjoy your TUESDAY, I AM!

Warrior Dash

Last Sunday, MAY DAY I competed in the Warrior Dash with my CrossFit YaYa Sisterhood of the traveling sweatpants. Haha, that is the name we have given ourselves. Anyways, we decided on wearing camo shirts and black bottoms. I found these cute tank tops and we decorated the backs.

We drove out to Florence, AZ about an hour away from our houses. The rode trip was fun in itself, lots of laughing, nail painting, singing and joking around with one another! That's how us sisters get down! Here are a couple photos from the dash.


***NOTE: These photos do not represent every sister in our group***

My brother also did the Warrior dash he was in a different heat but I caught up with him and we watched his finish! Here are a couple photos to enjoy!

Once Nicole gets photos up from the day, I will share them with you! We took two disposable cameras with us in plastic baggies. They survived, the mud and the photos are awesome! Till then, get the warrior out in you!

Yesterday I competed in Nitro, a weight lifting competition at East Valley Crossfit. I am totally new to this and had a lot of fun with it. I still have a lot to learn as far as technique goes, but it will get there. I hope!

Here are the results from the competition. I snatched 38kg, clean and jerked 55kg and deadlifted 102kg. All personal records for me. I am getting stronger! YEAH!

Look who is 4!!!!

Elle turned FOUR on the 26th of April. We had a nice little party of four; Brody, Ivan, Elle and I. We had cupcakes and she opened her presents. She was so excited to be four.

I can't wait to spend this year with her, her stories have gotten much more imaginative and I love listening to them. She has become a 'lil mom' too, bossing all the kids around. Its quite funny. I will share some photos of her acting like mom sometime soon. For now enjoy these birthday photos and a short video!

and we are back....

So, I am tired of our BLOG on Wordpress. It was fun while it lasted. My frustrations have been exhausted with that blog site. I was at my max for space on uploading photos to the main site and was forced to use a photo web site to upload and attach my photos.

How I have missed you Blogger! You give me more options, more CREATIVE OPTIONS! So glad to be back, love the new updates too!
