Just hangin' with the kids...

So even though Scott only works 3 days a week I often find myself hanging around the house with the kids for fear of getting too far from home with ALL 3 of them... I'm totally out numbered if they decide to revolt. But I'm finding that every day, week and month is some sort of growing milestone for all of them which causes me to get a sense of 'OK, I can do this' attitude and venture just a little farther from home for outings and to explore new and fun things to do.

On this particular trip we grabbed our usual half price Sonic slushies and head off to Usery Pass for a little drive and desert exploring. Brody especially LOVED all the dips and hills in the road - it tickled his tummy he would say.

A fish called Sam!!

It's sort of a given when you live in this desert land that your kids have to go through this right of passage called city league swim team. And I gotta say... BRING IT ON! Growing up I always wanted to be on a swim team, nevermind that my strokes often look like someone is having a seizure in the water, but none the less I wished I had tried. Well, you better believe that this mama is living vicariously through her kids when it comes to swim. Sweating palms. Nervous stomach. Pacing back and forth... this is usually how you can find me and Scott on the sidelines. I LOVE IT!! She was pretty good last year for her first year, and this year she really did even BETTER...bringing home 3 first place ribbons. I actually only ended up bring my camera to one of her meets, shameful, I know. But in my quest to be ever more present in my kids' lives I didn't want to be all camera-crazed, jockeying for the BEST position with all the mom-tographers videoing their super-star athletes. R...

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

Tough Mudder

Here are some videos of the  Tough Mudder challenge that Scott took part in (January 2012). So incredibly proud of these guys... I present to you... the Dirty Dads! And here is a FUNNY video I took of the final obstacle...not of the boys, but still so hilarious to watch!
