Worth getting up for!!!!

Look at the view, who would expect to see this view in mid april. I know I want the sunshine just as much as you. But you got to admit that is an awesome view. Let the adventure begin:

Kami and I had a six mile run this morning at 7. We knew it would be cold and snowy. But it was a bit of an obstacle course. Snow covered trees that occasionally dump on you.

Dont forget your Running Buddy. Yesterday morning it was raining like crazy, we had to run ten miles in it. So we ran 5 miles, ran home changed into dry clothes and ran the next 5 miles. Long wet run, soaked all the way through. Me and Kami still did it. It feels the best when you are all finished. By the way this cute girl ROCKS!!! She is so tough. She is always doing her best and never complaining. She always inspires me to do better. She is so supportive and fun! She is mine though, so dont even try to take her. Thank you so much Kami for being the best and for putting up with me!

Throw in some large trees. Most you can leap over, these ones we had to walk around so we could climb over.

Some of the trail clear, other parts inches of snow. Look only one other person out enjoying this!So I am sorry you missed out on this beautiful morning. I wanted to share. thank goodness for camera phones. I look forward to many more adventures!

Happy!!

Just wanted to update everyone. After we lost all those pictures and important stuff. We shut the computer down until we decided what to do. Well a great friend Dave was able to help out lots and give us an idea of what might work and than a great friend michelle found a referral through her network. Well we took the whole computer to a guy in american fork who thought he might be able to help out. At 50 dollars an hour we thought it was way worth it. Well he finally got to it today. After a prank message that he had no luck. He called backed to let us know he had recovered ALL OUR PICTURES. Yeah!! After lots of stress and tears. We are back in business and saving all of our photos to CD. It took him about 4 hours and he gave us a great deal. I am one happy girl!

SAD

Yesterday something went wrong with our computer and all of my pictures I save from my digital were lost. I am extremely grateful for my blog this morning. I am grateful that some of my favorite pictures that otherwise would be lost, are saved. I am still heartbroken of the loss. Most of Ella's life is saved on computer. When brady was a baby I was still saving them to disks. I have some of my favorites on digital. Anyways my point is make sure you are saving your pictures in other ways than the computer, disk etc. Also if you find any pics of Ella when she was a baby please forward them to me it would it be so, so appreciated. Thank you

Sharing

Have you ever noticed toddlers are pretty similiar to the family dog. Anytime some one is eating, all the sudden they have a little one begging or a best friend. Either way its dang cute. I caught him sharing with her. I was trying to be sneaky anout the camera so the pics aren't the best.

Dont you worry she had the same cereal in her bowl, it just wasnt as appetizing as Brady's and he still got plenty!

Preschool

I am looking for a preschool for Brady. If I could I would like it be semi-close and affordable. Idf anyone has a great suggestion i would so appreciate it. Thank you

Oh yeah dont forget CHRISTMAS!!!

With all that has been going on I forgot my christmas post... SO here it is. This is one tired saint Nick, Mrs. claus gave him his cute new hat. FYI assemble dresser in advance so you are not up past 3. Check got it for next time.

Chayston got his long board. Although Santa was having a hard time finding his name on the good boy list. He trusts in a promise of a better year.

Brady helping Ella open her gifts, she was new to this. He was so kind he helped her open each of her gifts, before he opened his own. We didnt even ask him to do that. He was just watching out for his little sis. It was pretty precious!!

Charlee and her new dresser. Santa was very good to this good girl. Charlee recently read the detergent bottle and the lid of the washer and learned how to do wash. She does laundry, I LOVE THIS KID!!! WhenI was in texas, the day I came home she wanted to surprise me and did all there laundry for the week. SHe washed, dryed, folded and put away. I came home to an empty laundry basket. That was the best gift the holidays could bring!

Cute little picture of daddy and the littles not wanting to get up christmas morning even though presents were waiting.. This mommy is ready for along winters nap. I am grateful for the holidays and all they remind me of. I am grateful for memories made in 2008. I am most grateful to have made it home from my trip safely. 2009 is going to be a great year I think. I am going to slow down a little and enjoy, SERIOUSLY. I know you dont believe me, if you really know me, but I am going to try!
