Training...With Kids??

So Ron and I are getting back into the running thing again. I wonder why we stop when it is so hard to start up again. Time is always an issue. We alternate in the evenings while one of us watches the kids but today was nice so I decided to be proactive and get my run done during the day with the kids. Great idea...right? Lets just say Brayden lasted one half mile on his bike before meltdown. The end result was myself pushing the chariot with all three kids and a bike strapped on the handle bars. I think I was pushing an extra 50 pounds-not a quiet extra weight but complete with fighting, hitting and crying. I don't think it was worth my time, but everyone sure got a kick out of seeing me on the path-glad to be of some amusement.

Starting up

So I have decided to join the crowds and begin a family blog. I am hoping to use this site to keep track of our daily happenings as well as keeping track of the kids growing and daily antics that I seem to forget after a week or so. To all our family and friends who we don't see on a daily basis, I hope to give a little more insight into our chaotic but fun life.


Today was picture day for our little one, six months and full of smiles. Andrea is so sweet natured, it is always a lot of fun to focus completely on her. Becca was her typical self, running around the photo department, demanding most anything that I didn't have. Brayden made himself right at home in the video corner.


It was a wonderful warm day and we were able to get outside and play with some friends-most fun for Brayden as he got to race his dad's remote control car, along with feeding some donkeys and playing on a playset, the day was complete.
