Twins, pirates and a haircut




Preemie calves were born out at the dairy. And beau was on a mission to keep them alive! He brought Kensie out and she was loving it :) they're both alive and getting stronger!


The dog whisperer, aka Dadda Babba :) He just has the magic touch!


Dinner with some great friends, life is good.


And then it was too quiet....Don't ask me how, but she found my hidden kids scissors and went to town.


"Mom, James looks so handsome!" How do you NOT smile laugh and take some pictures?!


Covering up the damage ha ha Papa's hat covers a world of hurt :/ No it wasn't that actually, just had to clean his do up a bit.


Me and my nugget
Spent the morning painting.


Found this and I wanted to share. Doesn't matter where you started or about the person next to you. Progress is PROGRESS. Results are inevitable whether it's at work, in a relationship or on the scale. Keep at it!

New Cars!




Morning activities, Kensie taking her 'dog' for a walk on her leash.


I squeezed some Insanity in while the kids destroyed my closet and bathroom! The price I pay for exercise haha!


My long Saturday run, refueled with some thirst quenching chocolate milk. Soooo good.


Spa day at nana and papas house; James was one happy dude :)


She's getting too big!


And a very exciting event. Drum roll please....I got my own car!!!! Beyond excited! We traded Beau's truck in and got 2 awesome used cars for the same payment. Not too shabby :)


Beau is slightly obsessed, as am I ha ha


Papa and Kensie planting tomatoes; spring is upon us!


Tess, sneaky little booger, jumped WAY up on the outside patio bar and proceeded to tear open a brand new bag of Traeger pellets and spew them across the yard.


James helped my vacuum the grass for an hour. Thank you Tess.



And a picnic at the park today; absolutely gorgeous out!!!

Some super yummy recipes we have been trying lately! Muffin omelets, tasty, good for you, quick and easy.


These unreal!! Blondies made with chickpeas and pb. Wow. Comment if you want the recipe, sounds weird but they are soooo good.


'Mock' mashed potatoes made with cauliflower. Ya, guilt free and they taste like the real deal.


Passed out after a night of dinner with our new friends and playing dress up :)


Showered and watching The Magic School Bus on rainy day.



Miss Frizz and Ralphy! Can't beat this classic!



I may have splurged and got them McDonald's...


Catherine and Brayden! He's getting so big and so handsome!


Mom and Dad spoiled us and watched the kids Sunday after church. We headed up to the foothills and ran 10 perfect miles together.


Best thing ever! Marathon training has officially begun, San Diego here I come!



And I started drinking black coffee. Yes BLACK. Anyone who knows me, knows I have my cream with a dollop of coffee so to cut it out was scary! Beau kept telling me how good it was and I actually like it!

Dancing in the rain!
