Ten on Tuesday - March 15

1. Water and hoses - it was warmer than it had been and the kids were getting a little restless so on Saturday, they got on their swimsuits and played on the trampoline with water from the hose. They were happy and loved being outside. Once they got done on the trampoline - they decided to water the orange and lemon trees in our backyard.

2. Best seat in the house - for Christmas, I got a hammack. It has been the best with the wonderful weather we are having. It is partially in the sun and in the shade. I love to read books there while the kids are playing out side. I came back from a meeting on Sunday and found 3 of my most favorite people outside enjoying the beautiful day!

3. Bryant's gravy - I was never really a big gravy fan until I married Bryant and I think the reason why has to do with me liking HIS gravy. It is amazing and any time he makes it, the dinner is so much better!

4. Field Trip - on Friday, Bryant went with Max on this field to the Southwest Museum in Mesa. Bryant has been able to go with all three kids on their field trips. They love having him there.

5. Running - it has been 2 weeks since Del Sol and I went running for the first time on Monday. I ran without my Garmin (which times me and tells me how far/fast I am going) and without my Ipod. I loved it. I decided that I am not going to use my Garmin until April when I start training again for NW Passage.

6. Spring Break - The kids have spring break this week and I love the fact that we get a break from the usual routine. They have stayed up late every night and have been able to watch the first 4 epoisodes of Star Wars. Max is really into it and has enjoyed watching them

7. Spring Break Part 2 - because the kids are on spring break - Bryant decided to be on Spring Break too. He worked Saturday but will not be back to work until the next Saturday. He is really enjoying spending time with the kids and them with him.

8. Tax Refund - we got a tax refund a few weeks ago and are still trying to decide what to do with it - here are the options - kids bathroom, Kitchen floor and cabinets, carpet in the rest of the house and walls painted. If only our return was big enough to do it all.

9. NetFlicks - we love watching netflicks. We are able to get it instantly through the Wii and our blue ray player. The best thing is that I can pick what my kids watch and NO commericals!!!!! They just added Phinneas and Ferb - we love it!

10. Beginning of March Madness - I love this time of year. I love doing the brackets with Greg - which I always do SO bad at and this year I am doing one at work too. I love rooting for the underdog and love watching the games.

Ten of Tuesdays

Well - Here I go again.

1. Could not post my ten last week due to my internet browser was not working. But I got a new one and I was amazed how much I use the internet in a 24 hour period.

2. Del Sol Ragnar - It was the best race that I have EVER run. My combined pace for my 3 legs was 30 seconds faster than I thought - planned on running a 11 minute pace and ended up with an average pace of 10:40. It was so much fun and we had the BEST van (more pictures to come on that). I had such a good time that I signed up to run with Kris in the NW passage one in July! Can't wait to run somewhere new.

3. Blue and Gold Dinner - Max got his Wolf Badge in Cub Scouts - he wanted to beat a boy in his troop who had been in cub scouts 4 months longer than him. I never would guess he would be that competitive! Way to go Max!!

4. Tax Season - I work for a CPA firm and things are really starting to get busy. I love the fact though that they still place my family over work. I have 3 of the greatest bosses in the world!

5. Max and Braces - on Thursday Max got braces on both top and bottom and it reminded me so much of when I got them. He is doing great with hardly any complaining! The one thing that he loves about the braces is that each time he goes he gets 2 tokens and when he has 42 saved he will get a DSi - he already has 22.

6. My family - last Wednesday night at dinner we sat around the table telling stories of things that Madi, Max and Maya did when they were little. They laughed and laughed and laughed. They wanted to do it the next night too - but we had other things going on. These three pictures are ones that I love!


7. Track and Field Day - Madi participated in her school's track and field day. Here is a picture of her going over the hurdles. It was good to see her out doing things that she normally would not do.


8. Bryant - he is a great example to me of learning to love the grind. My dad told me that it is important for your husband to learn to love it so that he could make it through the years of working that are ahead of them. Right now - things are not the greatest at work but he still goes each and every day because he has learned to love the grind.

9. Lehi Rodeo Days - on Saturday, we went to Lehi Rodeo days and had a great time. Maya wanted the Mutten (sp?) busting and can't wait to do it next year. They got to go for horse rides, pet goats, chickens, rabbits and a tortise and eat cotton candy.

10. Friends - I have been blessed with some of the most amazing friends. They help me in so many different ways. I sure hope that I can return the favor to them in some very small way. This also includes my sisters - each one of them are an example to me - maybe one day I can grow up to be like them!
