So one day they can look back and know their Mom didn't just sit around eating bon-bons all day. (not that i think any of you do, but if you do, save me one) <br /><br />This running thing - i have come to crave it (notice i said crave and not love) i wanted to see, or a better yet i wanted to f<span style="font-style:italic;">ee</span>l what all the hoopla with running is about.<br />My friends who run tell amazing stories of their beautiful morning run, how much fun it is to run in the rain and how much it sucks to run in the wind. They have met people on their runs, fallen, been chased by dogs and most importantly grown mentally and/or spiritually in some way or another through each run. I wanted that. I wanted that but couldnt even imagine running and thinking of anything other then, " i hope i'm almost finished" or ''I HATE THIS" over and over again in my mind. I'm sooo NOT a runner and It's been a really long time since i set a goal like this for myself so my goal (if you can even call it that) for the Pacific Half was to just do it, get through it, finish it. My expectations for myself needed to be set low okay, did i mention i'm not a runner? :) I didn't want to set myself up to fail . I am thrilled to say i did it!! I finished it! It really is a great feeling. I get to check this goal off my list. I am even happier to say i enjoyed it. I enjoyed ALL of my long runs with friends, my short runs, my time alone, my time to think, notice, and enjoy the beauty that is all around me. I loved the excitement, and adrenaline of the serious runners the ones with a "real" goal in mind :) they are an inspiration. I love the friends i have made through running, the friendships i have strengthened. I learned more about myself, i found out i love running in the rain, i love running with friends the most, i love the surge of energy that fills the air on race day, and i learned that boys still honk at girls running on the side of the road no matter what your age .......<br />All in all it was a great day, one i will never forget. Who knows, maybe i'll try another one somedayJulihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02815435447337221068noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34066245.post-4895265765511904512009-02-03T12:36:00.000-08:002009-02-03T22:34:12.043-08:00Okay, maybe we do look alike.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYH5nHgkK7LvDAoasGrAmTHVHol1IgmLAwQ8I2rcxHSHeSXmDsC52jhI5kTW8M7hIkN7i9s6h43Wdq5qWnhjvfW9JqfJDORIguw4866CBM8uhKjrI2XsL4Z5q_38BZ93-GhOeQ/s1600-h/tn.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 102px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYH5nHgkK7LvDAoasGrAmTHVHol1IgmLAwQ8I2rcxHSHeSXmDsC52jhI5kTW8M7hIkN7i9s6h43Wdq5qWnhjvfW9JqfJDORIguw4866CBM8uhKjrI2XsL4Z5q_38BZ93-GhOeQ/s400/tn.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298273337397809490" /></a><br />Kinergarten pictures-gotta love em' right?

I love it, i love that there is proof she is mine and i can finally see it....i didn't go through 9 months of "pure joy" for nothing. :) <br />I know her birthday is not for a few months (may), but i can't believe she will soon be 8. My only girl is stuck in between 2 very active, athletic CraZy boy's. So in return she is able to claim her stake in this house (or anywhere else for that matter) because of it. Her Dad likes to call her "Spidermonkey", or his more endearing nickname for her is "Pepper-sprout". Some of her likes/loves are: guitar lessons with her dad<br /> playing the guitar with her Papa Vince<br /> mani's, pedi's, and shopping with her Mama<br /> Hannah Montana<br /> Jonas Brothers <br /> singin and dancin in the mirror<br /> playing school (esp. when she's the teacher)<br /> holding her baby cousin Ruby Belle<br /> a pick up game of football with her brothers <br /> soccer games<br /> riding her quad<br /> jumping on the tramp<br /> junk food 24-7<br /> camping<br /> fashion design<br /> horses. feeding,riding petting anything to do with them<br /> dude ranch trips every other year<br /> wakeboarding<br /> animals<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Want's to be</span>: a vet. when she grows up<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Has a crush on:</span> Joe Jonas<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">B</span><span style="font-weight:bold;">FF's:</span> Hannah and Brooke<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Favorite Color</span>: Purple<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Favorite Food: does candy count??<br /> </span>Julihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02815435447337221068noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34066245.post-21726153282651343642009-01-16T22:37:00.000-08:002009-01-20T20:57:49.308-08:00black-ish, brown-ishThis is Cade's portrait of Martin Luther King.....not bad, cute.

Pretty good for a kindergartner , right?<br /><br />Shaylee: "He gave such amazing speeches, people just <span style="font-style:italic;">loooved</span> to listen to him." Interesting that that's what she remembers about MLK..<br /><br />Now for Hunter. I remember having a little bit of an identity crisis at his age. By crisis, i mean i never quite knew where i fit in, I knew i wasn't just white. I think the same goes for Hunt. Hunter, i like to say, is "White on the outside and brown on the inside" . His uncle likes to chant, "WT" (White Tongan) with the boy's.( Hey, we gotta take what ever "browness" we can get right?) I discovered Hunter was a little confused in first grade when his self portrait was of a very (adorable)dark brown boy. But i thought he had it kind of figured out by now that he's pretty white. Well, after asking him about MLK i now know he is still confused. Here's how it went: "So Hunter did your class talk about Martin Luther King today?" Hunter replies with, "Mom, wait...how black am i?" "What?" I said, "You aren't black....brown <span style="font-style:italic;">maybe</span>, but not black" After a lengthy discussion on how black he is-or isn't for that matter. I thought we were on the same page, until a few minutes later he say's "so is it okay to say i'm black-<span style="font-style:italic;">ISH</span>?" I love the innocence...maybe i'll just let him believe he's "black-ish" and who know's maybe the "black-ISH" part of him will help us get college scholorships someday......Julihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02815435447337221068noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34066245.post-91063984282151497672009-01-02T16:34:00.000-08:002009-01-02T19:48:58.595-08:00Joshua Tree, Hawaii and Big Bear 08'The past month has come and gone in a flash. Nothing but fun for us- spending Turkey day 5 star in the 5th wheel at Joshua Tree, on to Hawaii, then home a week before Christmas, and then 5 days in Big Bear for New Years. We have had a blast, but i think i'm ready to be home for a little bit. All of this fun can make a girl tired and needing to get back into some sort of routine, especially an exercise routine!

I never expected to get so emotionally involved, but I did. And for great reason- my children. My nieces. My nephews and my friend’s children. They have all been at the forefront of my mind during this time. <br />I am grateful prop 8 passed. And for now, we are still able to enjoy religious freedom, parental rights and that traditional marriage is what is being recognized. I am grateful to all of the"soldiers" who worked fervently doing whatever was asked of them even when it was uncomfortable. I could literally feel the strength of those that lined 2 sides of the street for a 1/2 a mile standing for what is right. I feel like i am a little stronger and that my kids are a little stronger because we have been united in doing what is morally right, not what is politcally right. I feel blessed to have a husband who feels the same way I do. When the prophet speaks he does not hesitate to move forward, but he runs. And he runs with his whole heart and conviction.<br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYLxYlltPxzvwTER02wkHSji3k6eBv_lX9x39dNGqiMj-xx0ioOxa4TN0rMiBNzFbF_4TFysNwDDc-Tq0SSs6k4uatVGvBJav-nOxRpsw9cZHOxPymmU_LCpaWbkBzAWCBy5vv/s1600-h/DSC_0307.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYLxYlltPxzvwTER02wkHSji3k6eBv_lX9x39dNGqiMj-xx0ioOxa4TN0rMiBNzFbF_4TFysNwDDc-Tq0SSs6k4uatVGvBJav-nOxRpsw9cZHOxPymmU_LCpaWbkBzAWCBy5vv/s400/DSC_0307.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265333619473852834" /></a><br /> <br /> <br />This is one of my favorite hymns.

We LOVED Tonga but excited for a nice shower without worms/bugs in it, a/c, nice and healthy food, (the kind with preservatives in it :>) etc. NEW ZEALAND has got to be the cleanest and greenest place on earth. It was fall there (opposite our seasons) so it was cool weather for us and lots of rain. The greatest part about N.Z was we got to be there with my parents, Shane's parents and Aunt & Uncle.<br /><br />Here we are picking up our new home for 7 days. Let's just say this was by far the best way to see everything we wanted to see, but a bit too cramped with rainy weather conditions.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRrsTFmkZ3iH9OkhMktZaZHSwt9U-bo2RVgzHmhrVyPO9tLNRNwtd3wuYHUrvHiesCVrfeO7Rx2upnyYlvgM1KZfDp4BzaqN-fEzGcgcOnr1CRYTHrsV4Nrf1aftVYFotHjPpI/s1600-h/DSC_0499.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRrsTFmkZ3iH9OkhMktZaZHSwt9U-bo2RVgzHmhrVyPO9tLNRNwtd3wuYHUrvHiesCVrfeO7Rx2upnyYlvgM1KZfDp4BzaqN-fEzGcgcOnr1CRYTHrsV4Nrf1aftVYFotHjPpI/s320/DSC_0499.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220540944651860450"></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Waitomo Caves, where we took our tour of caves with glo-worms in them.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH3qp6n10UDqmloQa2zLt3l2ne7gd7qw4a85oi7rqvpIMSDNL-Iwshvzqnt2mvilxa_VvgjrK4gYKxN4EN_3rHyVhaUJoOHduPpsB2vm7MgjUt1uhHnK-aA72B_nmrn_mc5YL0/s1600-h/IMG_0569.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH3qp6n10UDqmloQa2zLt3l2ne7gd7qw4a85oi7rqvpIMSDNL-Iwshvzqnt2mvilxa_VvgjrK4gYKxN4EN_3rHyVhaUJoOHduPpsB2vm7MgjUt1uhHnK-aA72B_nmrn_mc5YL0/s320/IMG_0569.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220540955719972562"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />One warm day the boys were able to surf.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkxfusC0rkPJBtKC7gExnW9JEukfKGCVWcox0HYCcshFUDFmKmUGoxq6fbahathqplEF8M2m65ObxEC8Hi5M9V1WsGqdHiQfTXkwEfnTyj7REwOKEaniyqa4N0nUZ_lJnNerhi/s1600-h/DSC_0468.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkxfusC0rkPJBtKC7gExnW9JEukfKGCVWcox0HYCcshFUDFmKmUGoxq6fbahathqplEF8M2m65ObxEC8Hi5M9V1WsGqdHiQfTXkwEfnTyj7REwOKEaniyqa4N0nUZ_lJnNerhi/s320/DSC_0468.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220540953625821202"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Temple<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCyAI2ALzq_n-f1KGJXpKLlNau4_T_0j43rvxOumFNocnRVLx_DUS9KZrIK0ErhXy9NCplUZ0EpNyRG7YFwnvT7njib4y7ukFYbEGiw0pB_ove8m7hyW4mJ81kpCCT0a97CLiO/s1600-h/DSC_0560.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCyAI2ALzq_n-f1KGJXpKLlNau4_T_0j43rvxOumFNocnRVLx_DUS9KZrIK0ErhXy9NCplUZ0EpNyRG7YFwnvT7njib4y7ukFYbEGiw0pB_ove8m7hyW4mJ81kpCCT0a97CLiO/s320/DSC_0560.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220540958468974578"></a><br /><br /><br />Shane did great driving.

It was sooo great to have some alone time. I was lucky enough to do whatever i wanted for 3 whole days! After that, Shane & I did some sight seeing, ate too much, tried every pizza joint in town, (in search of the infamous Chicago style pizza), and even went to a comedy club. We had a lot of fun together just enjoying our time away from the "real" world.</div><div align="left"> I LOVED Chicago, it is an amazing city.<br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirp9vdZzSLK5veFIjosSi0iCyf3XzFxsq8twXhVS1fjGZTqn-xtRq1fKDcYy5ytmBx3nkcpjJee5gXd0Lia-B43SUlEHNCKlLnMbnmBTsjHf91g5PCQlviKQU3cSl5pwX99TXG/s1600-h/IMG_0074.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119919985689694066" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirp9vdZzSLK5veFIjosSi0iCyf3XzFxsq8twXhVS1fjGZTqn-xtRq1fKDcYy5ytmBx3nkcpjJee5gXd0Lia-B43SUlEHNCKlLnMbnmBTsjHf91g5PCQlviKQU3cSl5pwX99TXG/s320/IMG_0074.JPG" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1qJ8gNOY4XNlRCotJERGlbOQvG3HlZcu3_ubTMZw3EdtMLv80DOZVhdfda55D5W3ExJujCtMOH_tRT-A-z3rkD0OauapsxFikLIxdD-eJYscgejA_5MFKkElhaSvyL6rg1kIr/s1600-h/IMG_0068.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132177772391816226" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1qJ8gNOY4XNlRCotJERGlbOQvG3HlZcu3_ubTMZw3EdtMLv80DOZVhdfda55D5W3ExJujCtMOH_tRT-A-z3rkD0OauapsxFikLIxdD-eJYscgejA_5MFKkElhaSvyL6rg1kIr/s320/IMG_0068.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimhDEo1IjSHK_K7LcUMZpQ58MbVRG_ChQZvdsT3Ao3sKruTVQQRUkq4ARnESoxLg5679kHqJcy1W40IjaBid_4U5I08wiZUmOsdpIqs5P-L-uM6wV5w9AB3tikt9qBe9AXMvpA/s1600-h/IMG_0064.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132172897603935234" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimhDEo1IjSHK_K7LcUMZpQ58MbVRG_ChQZvdsT3Ao3sKruTVQQRUkq4ARnESoxLg5679kHqJcy1W40IjaBid_4U5I08wiZUmOsdpIqs5P-L-uM6wV5w9AB3tikt9qBe9AXMvpA/s320/IMG_0064.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUQoBwvaoPaMOMHLf7dip9MUr_gqZkEMLO4VN5FBRS3piawffNRdutHd_5n4fL1YSHYOjvJikQTZn1tHL4RrCG8lFr0tquMtudOSqT2BZArc3MabDQ3fL6tyPjhoVlMmht55LL/s1600-h/IMG_0103.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119919994279628674" style="CURSOR: hand" height="288" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUQoBwvaoPaMOMHLf7dip9MUr_gqZkEMLO4VN5FBRS3piawffNRdutHd_5n4fL1YSHYOjvJikQTZn1tHL4RrCG8lFr0tquMtudOSqT2BZArc3MabDQ3fL6tyPjhoVlMmht55LL/s320/IMG_0103.JPG" width="314" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWhLD6nrFStKaBXNSPYNMX1XfRxIVxGsngSqffbplA1-1EwgF-Lu7bQkJdZYYFkAvjysDtqrnkPqUod8MuEwrFWuwBizgato3WTjJo3ZCAigfqQN3SLZtIEopOO5SxVGJF2Q0Q/s1600-h/IMG_0079.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119919998574595986" style="WIDTH: 360px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 286px" height="244" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWhLD6nrFStKaBXNSPYNMX1XfRxIVxGsngSqffbplA1-1EwgF-Lu7bQkJdZYYFkAvjysDtqrnkPqUod8MuEwrFWuwBizgato3WTjJo3ZCAigfqQN3SLZtIEopOO5SxVGJF2Q0Q/s320/IMG_0079.JPG" width="320" border="0" /></a></p><p align="right"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWhLD6nrFStKaBXNSPYNMX1XfRxIVxGsngSqffbplA1-1EwgF-Lu7bQkJdZYYFkAvjysDtqrnkPqUod8MuEwrFWuwBizgato3WTjJo3ZCAigfqQN3SLZtIEopOO5SxVGJF2Q0Q/s1600-h/IMG_0079.JPG"></a></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimhDEo1IjSHK_K7LcUMZpQ58MbVRG_ChQZvdsT3Ao3sKruTVQQRUkq4ARnESoxLg5679kHqJcy1W40IjaBid_4U5I08wiZUmOsdpIqs5P-L-uM6wV5w9AB3tikt9qBe9AXMvpA/s1600-h/IMG_0064.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUQoBwvaoPaMOMHLf7dip9MUr_gqZkEMLO4VN5FBRS3piawffNRdutHd_5n4fL1YSHYOjvJikQTZn1tHL4RrCG8lFr0tquMtudOSqT2BZArc3MabDQ3fL6tyPjhoVlMmht55LL/s1600-h/IMG_0103.JPG"></a>Julihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02815435447337221068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34066245.post-74760781230786355872007-10-10T20:26:00.000-07:002007-10-10T20:33:18.890-07:00Proud To Be An American!<span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">As we were driving along to pick up kids from school today, Cade looks out the window and yells</span> "<span style="color:#000099;">Mom I see an American!" </span></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#000099;">I think he's been learning about the American flag at school & got a little confused.

He makes me laugh all the time. I'm not sure how someone can be so happy almost all the time, but i love it! And he's good for me. On Friday night we went on a "date". Since it has been so unbelievably hot here we took our bikes to Ventura & rode along the beach. We raced, and laughed until Shane's chain finally broke, 3 different times, he wouldn't let me take any pictures of him fixing the bike, but i did get a few before we started. And of course we finished off our date with a yummy dinner from Joe's Crab Shack.</span></div>Julihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02815435447337221068noreply@blogger.com3
