The Dam Race

This post is a bit late but I just found the picture. In July Eric, my sisters Brooke, Marci, Tara, and I ran the Mantua Dam Race. Marci got first in her division and I think third overall. I was just happy to finish in under an hour. (sad but true) Besides who doesn't want a shirt that says I ran the Dam Race. It always gets a shocked look on peoples face.

September

September was a SUPER full month. Between hostessing for Miss Russet, Spud Days, Helping with the PTA, State fair, and Woodbadge I am spent. The girls loved the fair; the best part was the animal barns.During Spud Days the girls ran the tater trot and Eric ran the half marathon. (Man we sound like a healthy family, if only it were completely true) The girls also loaded up with candy at the spud day parade. Meanwhile I was in Rigby Idaho at Woodbadge. It's a amazing what you learn with a church calling. I didn't even know that there was a 6 day training for scout leaders. I was super sceptic at first but had a great time and learned alot.

MT. Borrah

Eric climbed Mt. Borrah in August. I wanted to go but life did not alow it. Mt Borrah is (i believe) the tallest peak in Idaho. Someday I am going to make the hike. He'll probably kill me for the pic but I am so proud.

1st day of school

YES, I really am that far behind but at least I am finally getting there. The girls were super cute on their first day of school. It was really easy for Brooke and Sam to go. They even get to come home on the same bus in the afternoon. Surprisingly everyone made it through the day without any tears. Well, almost everyone. Caitlin cried when we dropped Sam off and cried for her sisters all day till they got home. Now that is love.

IS IT WRONG?

Is it wrong to have a picture of me and my honey on the harley and then pics of cupcakes as the background? It's a mix of both parts of my life....right? The biker and mommy of all girls.

So I decided to take new pics of all the girls instead of taking them to a studio. I wanted to do some edits but somehow that program is no longer on the computer. Oh well, the girls (I think) look great. Caitlin was quite the pill though. Everytime I tried to take a picture she would get angry and hide her face or scream at me. I did get at least one picture were she is happy. I hope you enjoy them as much as i do.

Brooke made her first snowman with Dad! The girls have never really been around snow that they can remember so, moving to Idaho has been quite the shock for them. It was so cute to see them make a snowman and try and find pieces for the nose, eyes, arms,etc. The funny party is getting everyone to understand it is cold!
