Easy E.

I am out the door to go to the pool with my gals (HOLLLAAA!!), but I saw this picture from my parent's house last night and had to share, if for nothing else but to give my brother something to smile at while he is computing and programming at work :)

Because It Just Makes Me So Happy.

I know these pictures are sort of nerdy and embarassing but whatever. A few weeks ago Piper wanted to take pictures all together and after telling her we couldn't I was like fine.. I will put the camera over here. I forgot about them and they got loaded with some recent photos and I saw them and I love them. They are just so US. This is us on an everyday basis, Piper oddly dressed, I however am usually in my pajamas, not sure where I was going at the time, Beck in his comfy clothes, and shopping carts present. Someday I will look back and ache for this time of my life when my only care was how bad the messes Beck was making were :)

Sand Everywhere

But it wouldn't be summer if we didn't have sand everywhere!

This was boating at Pineview with some friends. Basically the kids just ate sand! But it was really fun and we are really glad we have such great friends surrounding us.

My Messes

This is a really good example of a second child. They get into marker and get food all over their face and clothes and that is the look they sport all day.

With the first child, they messed up their clothes and face, you bathed them, changed them and soaked their clothes in Oxy Clean.

This is Piper playing in her poop.

Just kidding, she is mashing beans for me. I love it, the older she gets, the less work there is for me. Ok.. so the more she helps the more work it is for me, but hey.. someday I won't have anyone making messes for me. I have to work on appreciating that day the most I can :)

It's a pretty hard life, I must admit when your days consist of this paired with grandparent visits and a nap.

5 Is For Sucks.

I think waking up in the 5 o clock hour should be outlawed.

And that is all I have the energy to blog about.

What I Have Been Doing

Me and the kids went for a walk/bike ride on the trail the other day. These were BEFORE they both crashed running down a hill and skinned themselves :) Unplanned shoots are the best, no pressure! I know there are too many so I don't blame you if you skip it, but you have to check out the colored major cheesing one of Beck, it is my absolute all time photo of him!

On A Happy Note!

TEAM DOA BABY!



This picture I absolutely adore. This wraps it all up, those big smiles, isn't it priceless.



My van minus one "dude". Awesome gals, I will tell you that much. Awesome fast too! (Kris notice my Artercyx, that was very useful and matched my florescent green shoes)



NERD ALERT! I will never think of Trapper's Loop the same again... if you are too tired to scream or talk or raise your arms, thumbs up will do just fine.



Obviously, we had a stellar time, who wouldn't with these two? Marcie was THIRSTY.







Me and Kari, who two years ago said.. come run with me, you can do it. And yes I look awful, 20 miles later and about no hours of sleep, so keep your mouth shut :)



The gals before Avon pass, in a pretty meadow. (Lex, this DONUT is for you!)



Me and my nerdy headphones, that are from the 80's, starting our team off with a bang.



Me and one awesome dude. He is pretty much the bomb, in a non ghetto way.. hOOlllAaaa to Don the team captain!


Jen did it too, and sadly looks like we won't be on the same team next year either. She was stopped for a pseudo nap!
