Running

So my goal this year was to start running. Why? I'm not real sure I just made it one of my new years resolutions. I got started a little late though and have only been doing it for about 2 weeks. For those of you that know me well. I am not a runner. I excercise often but it's usually just toning stuff like situps and pushups.When I first started I could barely make it a 1/4 mile now I am up to a mile. It sounds really wimpy I know but for me it is a huge victory and eventually I want to run farther. Right now though I am just working on making improvements on how fast I can run a mile with my best time so far being 9 min and 32 seconds. I really don't even know if that is good but Its the best I can do so far. I have not decided if I like to run or not. I know I feel good when I get back to my house and I'm glad I went. So for now I will keep putting on my running shoes and keep pushing myself out the door!

Easter Fun

Chris's sister came up from Boise. We all met at Grandpa and Grandmas. It's always fun when they come up and we all get together and have fun!Grandpa and Grandma with all their Grandkids.

We decorated Easter eggs while they were here. We were smart and did it outside.

What we've been up to

We went bowling one of the few days Chris was in town. The Easter bunny happened to be there so we had to say HI!

Bryhton tried to send himslf down the lane.

Declan was a little dissapointed in his turn.

Brylei just wanted to look good while she was bowling .

Gavin was just chillin waiting for his turn while he sipped a soda.

Treagan had to have the orange ball even though it was to big.

Razden was so funny he got a strike his first time and turned around with his thumb in the air and yelled "Oh Yeah Baby"!

Everyone wanted to help Raz.

Chris has been gone since about the end of February. He was able to come home for a couple of days between jobs and so since he was gone on our Anniversary we had my sister watch the kids and escaped to the Black Swan for a night!

We got bored one Saturday and decided to make a batch of coconut flavored lipgloss. It has chocolate in it so my little guy kept wanting to eat it. It does taste yummy if you lick your lips.

My mom used to make these homemade wheat thins and they were always one of our favorite snacks. My kids really like them also, so we make them often! They are super fast and easy. I am not a fan of cold cereal. It's expensive and 10 min later the kids are hungry again. This has become a family favorite. My kids actually request for me to make this hot cereal in the mornings. We just cook it up and add milk and a little brown sugar. They even usually ask for seconds!

We had an easter egg hunt in the snow. I forgot to put my card in my camera and thought I was snapping pics all along, so I only got one of Raz.Brylei started volleybal and is loving it.
