Another Meet

For Todd's birthday I let him sleep in and I took the boys to their swim meet.  I volunteered to be a timer and spent the morning hanging with the boys and cheering them on.  Makes for a long morning but I love watching them swim.

Slumber Party

Tonight the power went out for several hours so all the kids made beds in my room and we had a big slumber party.  I'm sure if Todd were in town this wouldn't have happened but with just me and kids we decided to party!

Oh Canada!

Tayson chose to do his World Fair report for 6th grade on Canada.  Thanks to Todd's traveling he was able to get lots of fun stuff for his presentation.  He had fun candy and ketchup potato chips and a sweet new t-shirt.

Crossfit Mom's

Guess who came to crossfit with me today?  My mom is the best example of living life to the fullest and being fit. 

Claire's Birthday

Claire's birthday started on the cinco de mayo with our traditional family party.  4 kinds of enchiladas and a pinata of course. 

Her actual birthday started with pancakes and singing

After school we went to get her big present - a new bike.  She is getting so tall and her legs are so long that she left with a bike the same size as Taysons.

Then we went to Barnes and Noble because she wanted to buy some new books 

 

We finished the night off at Mimi's cafe for dinner
(Claire said she chose Mimi's so she could go to B&N)

Happy birthday Claire Bear!  You are such a fun and sweet addition to our family.  Some fun facts about Claire right now:  she loves Monster High and watching Netflix is her favorite way to pass time.  She wants to be a singer when she grows up and knows every lyric to every Frozen song as well as most top 40 songs.  She loves to sing and dance and dress up.   She loves long hair and wearing pink.  I sure do love you Claire!!

I workout

I posted this picture with this caption:

"Throwback to when I could only clean 45 lbs.  Tonight was one of the best nights at Generator Crossfit when I finally got my 95 lb clean!  You can call me beefcake if you want. "

I ran 14 miles down Provo Canyon today and I can't tell you how much I love running in our canyons.  It is so beautiful and it makes me so happy. 

Today after crossfit I got home and Todd said "did you do situps today?"  I answered "yea...why?" and he took this picture for me.  HA HA HA.

Sophie's Spring Scooter Ride

Sophie never ceases to crack me up.  Todd fixed up the kids bikes tonight and all went out for bike rides.  Luke and Claire rode over to grandma and grandpa's house - took a break on the lawn then rode back.  They didn't even go in and say hi.  Silly kids.  Sophie felt left out so I told her I would go with her to grandma's house so she could practice riding her scooter.  She told me she needed to "pack some stuff" before we could go.  I assumed she was just putting a big flower on her head and some lip gloss in her purse.  When we got half way to grandma's house she stopped and said "I need to brush my teeth really fast" and pulled out her toothbrush.  I told her she couldn't brush her teeth on the sidewalk so we kept going.  As soon as we got to grandma's house she said "ok I'm going to have a piece of pie then brush my teeth".  Sadly, there was no pie yet (Sophie gets to go bake pie with my mom today after school) but she did brush her teeth.  My mom and I were cracking up at her.  She even packed floss.  Then when she was done we headed home.  I don't know where she gets her crazy ideas from but I love it. 

 
On the way home she was practicing some new moves too.  She is so much faster and more stable on her scooter now.  She even rode to school today without stopping!
