Mom and Dad's Bed

I think every kid loves to lay in their parents bed. Berkely has recently become a big girl (she thinks) and so now she gets to get up in our bed and play with her older brother and sister. It is just really fun to hear them in there giggling and playing with each other, they are all such good friends.

Walk the Line

Aspen's new favorite movie is "Walk The Line" The story about Johnny Cash. I think she likes June Carter singing all her songs. Aspen walks around all day long singing- I'm Going to Jackson, and I've Got Lips. It's too cute! So here we were sitting down at dinner and she started singing. She has a mouh full of food, but I couldn't resist taking a small video of her.

Cotton Country Sprint Triathlon

So when I got back to Texas after being homeless this summer, one of my friends asked me if I wanted to do a Triathlon with her. I have been wanting to do something like this for a while but never had the will power to go through with it. So this time I decided that I was going to train and give it a go. I really enjoyed working out and training, although I think that if I did it again that I would train for longer, 3 weeks was enough to get me through the race, but I could have done better with a little more training- (I think!) and a better bike, let's just say Mountain Bikes were not made for Road Racing!!!

All in all I had a great time and have a good sense of accomplishment. I hope to be able to do another one in the near future! Also my friend Krystle (who rocked the race by the way) has more pictures, so when I see them I will post a few!

What a Blessing

Berkley has added alot
to our family since she was
born a little over a year ago.
She has become a
total "Mommas Girl"
and I love it!

4 Generations!

I love that we were able to bless Berkley in Utah. It was really cool to be able to have our family there with us. I know it was over a year ago, but I just had to put this picture up- 4 generations!

Singing in the RAIN

Today was one of those days, we woke up with the rain, went to school in the rain, ate lunch with the rain, picked up kids in the rain, well you see where I am headed with this- we had a torrential down pour all day 6" so far, and it is still pouring!


Aspen has been asking me to go and play in the rain with her ever since I told her that I used to love to play in the rain when I was a little girl. So after dinner I asked if she wanted to go outside and play, Taven decided to come along and out we went. I tell you I haven't had so much fun playing in the rain ever! It reminded me of being a kid again, I just let all my silly stresses go and got drenched with my munchkins. We had a splashing water fight, races, and even took a trip across the street where the water was running up to Aspen's knee! I tell you if you havent played in the rain lately, go ahead and give it a try, it's worth it!
