Porter Rockwell Trail

I went for a run this morning on the Draper, UT Porter Rockwell Trail. It was a perfect morning. The air was full of sunshine and the breeze helped keep my sweat cool on my face. Connelly was a trooper along with my dog bell. I took the whole clan. I ran/walked 4 miles. That is a lot for me lately. Maybe once I quit breast feeding it might be different.
Connelly loves to be outside and in the fresh air. After I ran, we stayed at the park and watched the other kids play. Connelly and I did go down the slide and then swung on the swings for a minute, but he is still too little for all that fun just yet. But he thinks he is so big. I swear he is going to be walking in a month. He wants to do it now. I can't believe how fast he is growing.
Bell must know that I put her up for sale on KSL.com because she has been a lot better and less barky lately. No one has called or e-mailed so I am thinking she is pretty safe.

While I was at the park, I was missing my sister, Holly. We had tons of fun this summer having the kids, Ellie and Connelly, play together and being able to spend a lot of time together. There is nothing like a Sister.

This morning run and a good lunch, healthy, has just made this day perfect!!!!

It's mornings like that I just think really hard and say to myself remember this. It's almost like a picture won't cut it, because you need the smells and the sound to be there too. I am glad that you and Holly are close and it is so fun that you are getting your little families around the same time so you have lots in common. Love ya Tons, Ang

Litte Connelly is too cute in your stroller and I love the pictures of him in his jeep. :-) Good for you for getting out there and running--it wil be easier when you're done breast feeding.

Sun Valley, Idaho 2021

We stayed at a cute log cabin by the path that goes from Sun Valley to Hailey. There was a huge open field where we were able to throw the ball and play with the dogs in the snow. We ate lunches out and cooked the other meals in the cabin.  Connelly got  the French dip, Nate got the Pastrami, Kate got Macaroni salad and I got the Acai bowl! This was our fourth year going to SunValley.  We love to shop at the  thrift store, Gold Mine.  We found a lamp, board games, Sorrel snow boots for kate, beanies, and Corral plates for the kitchen!! GOLD MINE! Connelly went to Bald Mountain for the first time.  He was able to ski just as fast if not as fast as me.  The ski runs there are so long.  I never took the kids because they are  so long and I thought they wouldn't last two runs.  Connelly and I did 5 runs!!  It was so fun.  Then we got the souvenir pins for Dolla...

2020 Update on kids and life

This year the kids did home school from March 2020 until the end of the school year. It was crazy. I would have never known the words Pandemic or Social distancing until 2020. We ended up playing games every night for about 4 hours at the beginning of the pandemic. We made it through the school year. Then we started school in the fall with in person class and we have been so lucky to get through to Christmas break with no breaks from school and we even went five days aweek. Connelly is in 7th grade this fall. He is doing good with all A's so far. He thought he had a B in one class the first term and miracle of all miracles somehow it turned to an A- last minute. He was promised a phone if he gets straight A's for the next two years, 7th and 8th grade. He has worked really had on keeping an eye on his grades. He really is a good kid. I love him so much. He loves to Ski, Ninja, and ride my new mountain bike. I will need to get him a mountain bike next year. ...

Random thoughts

So this post is a combination of what I've been thinking the past little bit: First, this morning, I didn't do anything with myself because I was going to wear a hat to class, Anatomy 2320, and so I just picked my zits and got Connelly to go to my mother in laws, and left. Yes left without the freaking hat. I didn't comb my hair, didn't put make up on, and left the house red, picked on ugly zit face. What was I thinking. oh well, it isn't like I even talk to anyone in class or having an affair with my teacher so no biggy. Second, I took a test in my anatomy class Monday, and I thought for sure we would get our tests back today. WE DIDN"T. so I have to anticipate my score another 6 days. HHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...... Connelly must be getting more teeth. He is Onery. He will be cute however about 10 minutes before he goes to be. He is really ticklish and giggly late at night. So then it makes it hard to want to put him in bed because he i...
