My answer

Okay, I just got this video clip from a friends blog (thanks Karen) just moments after I wrote the post just before this one...I am amazed at how the Lord works. This video is SO amazing...I will always be amazed at how much my Father in Heaven loves me and I thank him for the things he places in my path at percicly the exact time that I need them.

I love how the Lord doesn't always solve our problems, he just gives us PEACE, and a way to be able to keep going...

Read the post just before this one and then watch this video.

Just need to get something off my chest...

I hardly ever use this blog to post sad or negative things, but I must say that I am having one of those sad nights. One of my best buds just told me that her step mom has cancer all throughout her body and she is in stage 4, which is the worst stage and she only has a few months to live. Also, my cousin, who has already gone through chemo and lost part of her leg due to bone cancer just found out that her cancer has come back and it has spread throughout her whole body and only has a couple of months to live also.

I just can't seem to figure out...How do we balance the tiny, minute tasks that we have to deal with every day that fill up our lives and sometimes overwhelm us, with the BIG, important things...like LIFE itself and happiness and treating each other good and remembering to say I love you and do nice things for each other and making really good moments with our kids and our spouses.

Seriously, what would you do if you where told you only had a couple months to live. I would like to think that I have enough faith the be okay, but WHAT would you do. What do you fill your days with. How do you even imagine your family living without you? Sorry to be such a downer, this is just something that is weighing heavily on my mind...just needed to post and get things off my chest.

Need a Good Laugh???!!!

Dont be mad Tami, I just couldn't resist...these pics are just too funny. I love you and thanks for entertaining my kids while I was running my race!!!

These are funny pics of Kylee and Tyler with my adorable, great sister. She is such a good Aunt and teaches my kids many things...like how to have a good time in the back seat of the van!!!!

Angel Faces!!

I spend too much of my days worrying about if the house is clean, is homework done, are their clean clothes (i guess this one is kinda important...so I'm told) worry worry worry and I don't take enough time to look at my angels faces. I feel so blessed to have 4 healthy, beautiful kids. If there is one regret that I most commonly have when I lie my head down at night it is this: that I didn't take more time with my angels.

I DID ANOTHER RACE!!!

This race was much funner than the half marathon. It was a Sprint Triathlon! I started off swimming for 400 meters (8 laps), biking for 9 miles, and running for 3 miles. It was fun! It wasn't as hard as my half Marathon but it was still tough. The hardest part was transitioning from the bike to running. My legs where so numb and it took me about half a mile before I could feel them again and feel like I wasn't going to fall on my face.

It was funny because they had to write our numbers on our calf and upper arm with a fat magic markers . My kids thought that was great!

Here are some silly pics of me after the race! I am definitely going to do this race again. Who wants to do it with me!!!!

Here are my two buds that I did the race with!

My Baby Boy is a Kindergartener (sniff sniff)

Here is my cute boy! He was so excited on his first day of school! He told me once the night before that he was kinda scared of the bullies that would be at school. I thought that was sweet. It was really hard to leave him that morning in his new classroom. He is such a big boy and LOVES new adventures so I know he will do great. Good thing it is only half day kindergarten!

Here he is in his class room! Look at that happy face!


Once I said good bye to him he started to get nervous. I took this picture from out in the hall way. When Tyler gets nervous he plays with this chin...and look at those wide open eyes. He was just so brave!

Here's my silly monkey's!

The Funnies!!

I just love this comic strip. You know it's true! Sorry it's so small, you might have to click on it to read it...
