Life....

What a crazy past few weeks this has been. The beginning of August my Uncle Frank passed away from a heart attack. He was taken much to early from us. I will certainly miss him and so will my kids! We did make the trip to Oregon to say goodbye.
Kalei started Kindergarten.
Gymnastics began again.
One of the mothers of a 3 year old I watch passed away during child birth.
Hannah started preschool.

Life is so short. Remember to tell your loved ones that you love them every day! Cherish all the moments you have with the little ones. Take a short weekend trip....even if you can't afford it! That's what we did this weekend. Dan and I decided that after this awful week we needed to do something fun with the kids. Something that was just us and the kids. So we decided on Silver Rapids at Silver Mountain resort. The kids love that place! And it really is a lot of fun. They even serve beer and drinks! We even went early Saturday so that I could go shopping at Kohls! What a trooper that husband of mine is! Yeah...it probably put us in the poor house for a couple months but it is so worth it!



This is from July, we were in charge of an "aid" booth at the Missoula Marathon and the kids even got to help hand out water! They thought it was so much fun!

Jackson....he kept looking at me like "seriously, Mom...get me out of this thing"
