Marathon weekend... both physical and spiritual

I DID IT... didn't know if I ever would... but I did :)

26.2 in 3 hours and 12 minutes.  I was so happy to accomplish something I have always been afraid of doing....

I can honestly say... I am proud of myself.

 My running buddies... and inspiration

My #1 fan... LOVE THIS MAN!

 Then up to the cabin for a spiritual marathon...CONFERENCE.

Loved being with the family and listening to such inspirational messages!

SO PROUD!

Broc got his Eagle Scout by making our neighborhood safer.

He got a crosswalk added and a speed reader to tell speeding cars to slow down.

He also put in flag holders in four spots with flags... so everyone can see when there is a person crossing. NICE JOB SON! We are proud of all your hard work.

TEN eagle scouts!

Proud Mama and Pops...

Where did Summer go?

We already miss those days...

the warmth is leaving along with the free time.

Mom? Do you care that I love Daddy the most?... (Alyse)

Serious Broc...

Amazing Dad!

Pipi Longstockings...or Alyse?

Surfer girl... Brooke :)

Always in fashion... even in Powell.

Serious Brin... very serious, as in don't take my picture, Mom!

Paige on the yellow sled... daring for her!

The master of the board... did a 360 this year!

Cutest face EVER...Paige.

bubbles in the Summertime... could anything be better? (Alyse)

Bella and Brin out for a swim.

10/4 good buddy...

Tis the season... for being BUSY!

I know it looks pretty relaxed around here... but with Paige (on left) doing piano and

Alyse (on right) doing gymnastics...and both doing dance, art class and soccer... Well let's just say that is just the tip of the iceberg.

This fashion friendly girl is doing acting class and dance.

Lacrosse is a daily event. (It will be nice when Broc has his license... or will it?)

And the biggest gas bill goes to...

SOCCER!

But Brin loves it and is doing great!

Hopefully while my kids are working on their talents they are still keeping in perspective what is most important! Their faith, our family and trying to keep their mother sane. ;)

Another Birthday?

One year old... Bella
