Tough Mudder, Check!!!!!

Just incase you didn't know me and three others I know tried to not kill ourselves this weekend at the Tough Mudder Vancouver (Whistler)

Please look at these from the bottom up.

I haven't used this blog in a long while and I put them all backwards:(

 Here we are all done and don't know what to do with ourselves.

 Ian and Chris so happy to be threw the electric shock!!

 Thinking we were getting close to the end, but we weren't really.

 These were the smaller of the two sets of walls we had to climb. Thank goodness for other people along the way that helped us and we were able to help them!!! That's what tough mudder is all about!!!

 Running, there was a lot of running and hiking.

 getting started at a good pace.

 All clean and shiny at the start.

Not a spec of mud on my yet. This is in the registration line. We were almost late for our heat because my line was so long after I stopped for a bathroom break.

A day at the "park"

Here are a few pictures of the kids playing in the backyard. I will always refer to it now as, the park, as Ben has been asking for a park in his backyard since we moved in there. I don't think he calls it that an more, but it is a memory that I might carry with me to my grave. I love my boys and the fact that they love so much and they are loved so much. So here they are with Addison and Sam enjoying the park.

Celebrating Quin's Birthday with the greats!

We had greats Kehler over this last week for dinner and to celebrate Quinlan's birthday a little early as they will be gone when the little guys turns two. It is so fun to see my kids with my grandparents and then to enjoy my grandparents as as adult. It was a really great time and the boys love having people over and especially family.

Quinlan can't do anything with his tongue inside his mouth.

Quinlan saying, "cheese" and being very cheesy. Just like any other two year old I know.

Love this kid!

Photo Booth

I've been told I don't act a little crazy anymore, so this was a good weekend to let loose!

A few weeks ago Rachel and I went to a women's retreat up at stillwood bible camp. We had a great time and here are a few pictures that were taken at the photo booth.

One day at home!

Yum, breakfast!!! Mmmmmmmm!!!

Quinlan taking pictures of me!

I love this face.

LAUGHTER!!!

Family Fun Day

We took the kids to the Seattle Children's museum over the winter break. It was a really long day, but they had a lot of fun. We should not have gone to the outlet mall two days after boxing day though.

Ben of course enjoyed the construction area!
