The Muppets!

We had a wonderful movie night with the kids! We watched the Muppets! Our kids hadn't seen much of the Muppets yet so it was exciting for us to see which characters they liked and the smile on their faces! I grew up with the Muppets so it was so fun to watch! Kierstens favorite muppet is Kermit the frog, but she thinks it's hilarious that Kermit and Miss Piggy are in love! Sommer loves Miss Piggy. She yells "piggy" every time she comes on screen! They also like the chickens! I love how the character in the movie talk about the movie like they aren't in it or something. Great family movie! Love it!

Pam-O-Thon!

Today we did a 5K race to honor our friend Molly's mom Pam. It was Pam's Birthday and in her honor Molly and her family held a 5K/10K race (something her mom always wanted to do). It was SO fun to see all the people (friends and family) come out and celebrate her birthday. It is amazing how much love is out there. You did a wonderful job Molly! The kids had a blast and we met up with our good friends the Ericksons! YAY! We took the wagon and pulled the little ones in it. The big kids walked off all their energy! Afterwards we invited the Ericksons over for lunch. What an awesome day!

Cindy pulling the wagon! The girls helped push when we got towards the end!

Clair... Now you see her now you don't!

We've been Tagged!

Our house was tagged! By Kiersten and Sommer of corse.  The sidewalk chalk has gradually upgraded to house chalk... The kids like to play with chalk which is fine because it washes off really easily but during the colder months (the hose isn't hooked up yet) I try not to let them tag the house and they did anyway.  Good thing it washes off.  And this side of the house no one sees, maybe the neighbor but thats it.

New Outside Toy!

Someone at work told me the best outside toy for little kids are those balls that they sell at walmart. The jumbo size balls. The kids loved them and kept them very well entertained all afternoon while I cleaned up after the dog outside and racked pine cones! Now we just have to remember to bring them in after we are done playing so the wind doesn't blow them away.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

No they are not moldy! LOL We made green chocolate chip cookies for school and daycare! The kids loved them!

Kiersten and Sommer showing off their green attire. We had a lovely day so far and a surprise visit from my friend Molly with yummy cupcakes!!!! Thank you!! Still waiting for the sunshine... It will come we just have to be patient.

A Blast From The Past!

The other day Kurt was going through old boxes and found a very memorable toy. He said he wanted this toy so bad and when he finally got it he was so excited. He took really good care of it because it looks brand new still and no pieces are missing. He had fun playing with it.

Sunshine?

These were taken a few weeks ago when the sun played peek-a-bo with us. We can't wait for the sun to stay! We are getting spring fever early!

Warrior Dash!

I was invited to join a team of girls to run in the Warrior Dash this July in North Bend.  I looked into it on their website www.warriordash.com and I am totally in! I am so pumped for this race. I started training for it with some advise from my sister in law. I down loaded the "couch to 5k" app on my phone and started the run one day rest one day training. Everything was going really good until everyone in the family got sick! Including me! But I am still pumped for it so I am prepared to start running again once I can breath. I will have more updates about the dash when it gets closer. Super excited though!

My sweet pea!

My sweet pea! Sommer is getting so big! I just can't beleive it.

Oma and Papa Freds!

We had a wonderful time the other weekend, the girls and I.  We took a trip to Oma and Papa Fred's to visit and test out there newly redecorated guest room! So nice! I love it up there because if feels like your in the mountains, well you are, but it really is so beautiful.
