Happy 3's Jess!

Hope your Birthday is as great as you are! Thanks for listening when I call you daily to celebrate or complain about my life dilemmas, always willing to listen and give much needed advice.

Say Cheese!

Picture day, I know one day I will look back on the akward big teeth and grins and love them!
This is how I feel trying to figure out what to wear for picture day when its October in the 80's, thanks Kenz for the cowboy boots, we love them!

You the man Gramps!

Grandma Susie preparing him for the race, she was the woman watching King, not an easy task.
My Dad turned 63 on October 2nd as we were finishing the last half of our half marathon Saturday night, he is so awesome! His training was cut short because an achilles tendon issue, but he still managed to pull it off, way to go Pops! I so wish I could have more of him in me, never raises his voice, hardest/ most positive worker I know, slow to speak, yep that pretty much is nothing like me. I do have songs I have made up for each of my kids as he did for us, but too bad they don't make sense, are terrible and I can't sing.

Around the World in 13.1

We made it! 13.1 miles and 3 disney parks later all finishing in decent time. I think there was a little more whining than wine following the race, but we all felt pretty good considering it was 1am before we finished!

11 monther plus a few

I love this boy! At 11 months, he is not even close to walking or weaning, and wears his pajamas most of the day. He loves to point, play the piano and dance (do squats), climb the slide and get stuck at the top, roll around on the bed, find and throw balls and is needing a flobee for his hair wisps. He is saying ball, go, yeah, ball, ball and ball, and LOVES his back tickled and his King bear song. Video footage to follow soon.

(5 minutes long, but too tired to edit)

school fitness CHALLENGE!

I love seeing all of these kids getting excited about exercise and racing, with just a small side of chaos!

Monroe and Claire Marlatters in the middle maybe getting tips from the black shirted dude in charge?

My pics are sucky , Roe was number 5, 2nd girl, my competitive one, finishing the half mile in 3min 22 sec., think she was motivated by her boy classmates following closely behind.

Xander and Cole looking much less serious than the girls previously, lining up for the mile.

Cole rocked it finishing the mile in a little over 7 minutes, tongue out and all!

Xander appears to be struggling but finished strong shaving 2 minutes off his time from last year finishing the mile in 8minutes 50 sec.

Way to go kids!

Nifty Fifty!

Happy 50th Uncle Jimmy!
