Exciting, New and Terrifying things!!!

Hair cut -Exciting! She really does love it -New! And we did it, I really never thought we would actually become a dog family -Terrifying! But the kids just love her, and she is so sweet and good. She is a designer breed called a Teddy Bear which is a mix of Pure bread Bichon Frise and Pure bread Shihtzu.

The last couple months

First time mowing the lawn. How my boys play with there sister. "I feel sick!" (notice the Tylenol she is holding) Day Camp, he had so much fun!! As you can tell dental hygene hasn't been our first priority. :) Double rainbows, (I love, love, love the weather here in CO!) Climbing trees, Playing with cousins and stealing veggie chips. Being amazed that Tuki (my mom) is actually VERY good at paddle ball. Cool guitar playing uncle Jared, Birthday parties, Pretty girls, Crazy dances, Rocking to sleep, Baptism! First day of scouts!

Maybe I should concede?

I think I can honestly say I am the worst blogger ever. I get on to post and I get distracted by all your blogs and reading about whats going on in your lives then I look up and the toy bin has exploded again, Jaz is crying because Amelia is laying on top of her and the boys have stopped doing their chores and have stolen away somewhere far far away (the basement) hoping that I will not come and find them. And then I will admit, I only upload pictures from my camera when my memory card is full. So this combination of being easily distracted not keeping up with my photos and really not picking ideal times to be on the computer, I may have to admit that for now my career as a blogger is not going to happen. :( But alas even when not making comments on your blogs I do enjoy reading them.

I am alive

I am alive I just am a blacker or slogger (which one do you like better). Hehe, I know that is dorky. So lately I have been reflective of my self and my life choices. I have never been one with tons of ambition or a drive to accomplish incredible things. I have always been a person who enjoys going with the flow and I especially love someone saying this is something you could do and this is exactly how to accomplish it. But as my children have gotten older I have appreciated the example of my husband on going and getting things for yourself. He has accomplished so many things in his life, yes he has had many people help him along the way, but he would have done them anyway. I want to be that way especially for an example to my children. I want all my kids to get PhD's or equivalent if they want (my boys have to get one :) and I want them to run marathons and play sports and be great kinds people. I have discovered as I watch some of my dear friends parent and some of you have your children grown that the way to encourage my children to reach for the sky is to do it my self. In saying all that I have made goals to change and add things to my life, I have started training for a triathlon that I hope to do the beginning of June. I have started journaling and thinking about my life outside of motherhood, "what do I want to be when I am not raising my kids, where do I want to be when they are grown and how do I prepare now to get there?" I have been investing more in my marriage and yes marriage is an investment, I know from personal experience if you are not putting things into it right now it want be strong for retirement. I am not usually one that likes to write a lot on my blog I prefer more pictures, but every once in a while it feels good. Happy Easter

Computers Argh!

So we were having MAJOR computer problems. I have had a really ruff time with blogging and email the last month and then last week our computer went down for good. We thought it was dead and Taylor and I were very sad thinking we lost our recent photos. But with A LOT of time Taylor has brought the old girl back to life. Our pictures are safe and everything is working just fine. So we (mostly Taylor has spent the last 2 hours backing everything up on discs and I have given him a new commitment that I will be better at backing up photos and other important things so we don't have this kind of drama again.
