5K

So my friend Amanda and I have been training for a 5K. It has not been easy and kicked my butt the first few times I did it. The training is for eight weeks and we are entering week 5.

While running, I realized that I like to be active and lost the motivation years ago. I started playing sports in school to get away from my ugly home life. After playing for awhile I realize how much fun it was to be on a team and working together. After I graduated I stopped doing anything active except work and school. I stopped taking care of myself!!!


So training for the 5k makes me realize how I have been treated myself over the last few years. I feel better each time I run. I feel like I'm doing something good for my mind and body. I'm starting to see myself in a better light. Since I started running I can feel the difference in everything from endurance to getting steadier while running. For the first time in a long time I believe I can do anything. I start school in August and I am going to Scotland with girlfriends. I have 3 wonderful silly kids and husband who supports me 200%! 


With the help of good friends and family, also the love of our Savior I feel myself healing! 


Wish me luck in the 5K!   

Aidan's 7th Birthday

So my sweet boy is growing up on me and had got a year older. He makes me glad to be a mom to this sweet angel. We are so blessed to have this guy in your home and lives. He loves to make people laugh, cheers them up, making new friends, and loves to help serve others.

We were able to have his party yesterday with friends! We wish we had family near by so they could have enjoyed this awesome boy too! We love you monkey man!

Better Late Then Never

So I have not blogged in awhile for some strange reason. I love to blog, do not get me wrong, it just seems everything has gotten in the way lately. So lets catch up!

So Dedrick's grandma passed away in May, so we drove up to Utah for the funeral. All the kids, grand kids, and great-grand kids were able to make it. It was great to see everyone and pay tribute to a very wonderful lady. 


The funeral happened to be around the end of school of my kiddos. So my kids got to start their summer break a little early. That was good for them because they had summer school for the month of June. They went four days a week for a few hours in the morning. Starting in June they started their swim lessons in the afternoons and the lessons go to the end of July. Other then that they have been having fun playing outside and with friends.


Dedrick has been working hard and traveling for work lately to help with all the projects he has on his plate. When he is home he continues to work and play with his r.c. trucks and works on projects around the house. 


I have been working a lot more this summer, so my boss can take some vacation time. I also have been busy with the kids and running errands. Also getting ready for school next month, making sure all the paperwork is turned in. I also started training for a 5k run with my friend Amanda. We are into the end of week three and the program is eight weeks long. I feel good for making it this far and will keep going. Wish me luck!


Coming up is my sweet sons 7th birthday, start of school for all (except dad), travel for husband, visit grandma and grandpa and lots more game nights with friends.


I have been a bad mom I keep forgetting to take pictures. Next time I blog there will lots of pictures!
