Stats

So this post is late.  Weeks late.

I have two kids.

I am back to work full time.

My nights consist of dinner, baths, bed and sometimes a workout if I am lucky.

I have excuses.  Lots of them.

But, better late then never...


Amelia: 2.5 years over the summer.  30 lbs.  Up to my waist.  Nice head with blond hair. She LOVES princess, horses, steak and lounging in her PJs watching TV.  Currently reading any Disney book on Cinderella.

Liam: 5 months. 16 lbs. About as long as my arm. Bald with a little peach fuzz. He LOVES being in the family mix, his Johnny Jumper, eating people and being held. Currently reading eating any book he gets his hands onto.



Wade: 30s. Changes everyday lbs. Tall. Nice hair, curls when long. He LOVES Ron Paul, steak, and watching Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy with his wife. Currently ready on his iPad.

Karli: 30s. Don't go there lbs. Up to Wade's shoulders. Needs to find a new hairstyle and get away from always putting it in a ponytail. She LOVES chocolate, her family/friends and laying in bed watching TV when the house is quiet. Currently reading "How to Raise a Strong Willed Child".



I gave it a Tri!

I swam .50 mile.  Hating every second of it.



I biked 13 miles. It was great once I learned how to do the gears half way through.

I ran 3 miles. 
All was worth it to get back into gear after having a baby 5 months ago.

 

Thank you Kyle (with his team) for getting me signed up for my first triathlon.

Happy New Year

I know this post is a couple weeks late.  But being back to work full time and having two kids, makes for long days and never enough  time.

I have said it before and I am saying it again, "Labor Day weekend is my New Years".  It is the end of one year and the start of another that Tuesday with new schedules and routines.   I couldn't think of any better way to celebrate it but at Sandpiper Beach Resort in Pacific Beach, WA.  My family has been doing so for 35 years!!

This year was one for the books.  Not only was it Liam's first visit, but the weather couldn't have been more perfect.  With no phones, computers or TV it gives us all the opportunity to relax and to enjoy each other.

There was lots of playing, eating and snuggling in the sand.

Family walks on the beach.

Wade competed once again in the annual shake toss contest. And once again, he came in third (out of about 30 guys).

We enjoyed the Labor Day parade and Amelia got lots of yummy treats.

Bonfires on the beach. Falling asleep on the beach.

And best of all...having the time to read a book and play in the sun.
