Just another way to keep up with what is going on in our lives.

The last couple of weeks!

Well not last week but the week before we spent a week away in our old home Oregon. We spent some time with our good friends, Ben and Rebbecca Malmin, and had a blast! We also got to see the sisters, Rachel, and Rebbecca and a great surprise was to hang out with Daniel. We all went to the Portland zoo together where I forgot my camera, so I don't have any cool pictures to share with you. The reason for our trip was a wedding. Our dear friend Sam Deese was getting married to the sweet Renae! We were so excited for them, and Aaron had the privileged and honor of being a groomsmen. So Aaron and I parted ways and he headed for Eugene for the wedding while the kids and I held back in Portland till Friday! We met up again in Eugene for the wedding...and can I just say it was a really cool, upbeat and fun wedding. I always think my wedding was the best, but theirs was up there! The day after the wedding Judah got the surprise of a life time. My son has been indoctrinated into being a Oregon Duck fan...hilarious!!! So while we were in Eugene there happened to be a Duck Game and his grandparents happened to have tickets so Judah happened to be at the duck stadium when they showed up with his tickets. It was a great day with Dad, and Grandparents! He had so much fun, and I am sure at some point Aaron will add a video or two and or some pictures of the experience.

Now this last week we had a lot of firsts going on, and hope to get some pictures of that as well!
Judah had his first guitar lesson with the amazing guitar teacher of Ryan Horn who claims that Judah is smarter and picking it up faster then he thought...funny huh after one lesson. He is a smart guitar teacher! Alyx also had her first ballet lesson in which she was so adorable and loving every miniute of it! I would like to say she is a natural...at listening to her teacher anyway...but more than anything else she looks ultra cute in her little leatard! Next first was Judah's first soccer game. Judah has decided that his favortie sport to watch is football, and his favorite sport to play is soccer. So he is playing soccer and watching football. We stood on the sidelines and cheered our little guy on to a 5-2 victory with 2 goals scored by our little man. Can you say super proud parents! This is where you could get sucked in...the dreams you begin to build for you children...a pro soccer player and a prima balarina...yikes...I can see why some get so obsessed...it's definatly tempting! We will hopefully have pictures of all of that up soon as well.

Then this last weekend we spent it with our dear friends the Oettels at my family cabin in Monarch! We had so much fun, and stayed up way to late, and was woken way to early! But we took pictures, played games, roasted marshmellows, and made mint brownies and an amazing tri tip on the charcoal grill. It was a blast!

Something funny and kind of insane...I was talking to Judah and let him know that he was a super star at soccer! I was teasing him about how tired he was getting at the end of the game and mentioned that he needed to go running with his mommy to build endurance. Then we went home and continued the day! Before bed he came to me and asked me if he could go running with me in the morning before school...I was like...huh???do I do this...is this good or bad or huh??? I was like are you serious Judah? You really want to go. So yesterday and this morning my son and I ran walked a mile together. He is so fun to "work out" with, it doesn't even feel like working out. He just joggs along and chats up a storm it's so fun! He actually woke me up this morning to go. This could actually be the start of something really fun and healthy, and well just a great time with my son. We walk when he needs too, and run fast when he wants too, and he is just excited to be out there working on improving his endurance. I think my son is from a different planet...he truly amazes me with his simplicity of life, passion, and well frankly discipline. So I will keep you up to date to see if this lasts...well at least until the snow flies, or it gets to cold!

  • Why
      So it's 2009, and we went over a whole year without posting anything! (not that we were trying to) So we decided to start posting again so that our family and friends could see what's going on in more detail than what happens on Facebook.
