MKB ready for the backstroke

The girls signed up for swim team again this year! This year is much more intense... they're working on strokes a lot more and swimming farther in practice. I think they still like it?? I think??

Muddy Buddies

Clean??Finish Line

Post-race sneakers

To attempt to prep for our triathlon in a fun way... a few girls and I signed up for a mud run. It was a 10k run through mud pits/obstacles. We did the team run, so we had to dress up and stay together through the finish line!
The course was kind of weak, so some of us made the most of it... I mean it was a mud run afterall!

Buddy is 4!

Four things we love about Zackary:

1. His energy... please... will you share??

2. His laughter... it fills a room with joy!

3. Slug vs. Snail... he has come out of that shell this past year!

4. His sweet, tender side

We had to put his gifts under a little tent so he wouldn't come down and see the bike! He really wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese with only his friends from school

Even Superman needs an ice cream cone after he gets immunization shots!

Tanner Bananer

My oh my... where does the time go??? Little Tanner is already 10 months old! He is such a joy... here are a few photos from the past couple of months.

A little black licorice never hurt anyone!

Tracking down all the balls!

A trip to the park!

Showing off his first tooth


This is about the only time we can get him to sit still long enough to take a picture... when he's eating!

Sporting his new glasses... we can only keep them on for a couple of minutes at a time.

The Ranch... again!

Brooklyn has been taking horseback riding lessons at our friend's ranch. It has been great for her to try something that is her own interest. We take a few other girls each time... sometimes Makenna comes to check out the new spring babies!
Makenna with some of the girls! The girls waiting for their turn!

Brooklyn and Elvis (he's my favorite mini... ahh uhh huh!)

Youth Expo

During Spring Break we went to the fairgrounds for a little youth expo. They had lots of animals... exotic bugs... extreme sports, etc. We went on a little hay ride, made some big bubbles and enjoyed the day off of school.
