June 2nd and our mountains are still covered in snow!

This was Gabby's first year in Dance and the poor thing had to miss both recitals because of family vacations. I kept explaining it to her and she seemed okay with it. But would continue to tell me how excited she was about dancing on the stage and her costume she was going to wear. Her last dance class Grandma and Avery came so we could watch her do her dance. Once they started passing out the costumes she lost it. Oh how I hope nothing falls on them this year. She is a great little dancer and looks so cute in her leotard!

This year the fun run was a little more exciting! Caleb's buddy Drew started to catch him with about 50 feet left and once Caleb looked over his shoulder and noticed he gave it all he had to push it to the finish. The two of them tied! Gavin did pretty good as well and took 5th in the 1st grade!

Bye, bye long hair!

We had to snap one more photo of Caleb before we chopped his hair. I personally liked it and didn't want to see it go but Dad was putting the pressure on him to cut it. I'm sure will see a comeback sooner or later!

Movin' on up!

Gabby was so lucky this year and got to take preschool from her Grandma Campbell. What was even better is her cousin Rakell was in her class too. Gabby was an excellent student. She really enjoys going and is very proud of her work. Miss Gabby wants to save every paper and once realized I wasn't she started her own filing system in her bedroom. She too is just starting to read and wants to as often as I will with her.

Gavin's 7th Birthday Party

This year for Gav's Birthday all he wanted was to have a sports party. He wanted to play kickball, flag football, steel the flag, you know a sports party. So that's just what we had. It was a lot of fun! Gavin is a great kid! He is doing really well in school. He loves video games, sports and legos. Sounds like every seven year old boy! Gavin is also very sweet. He is very affectionate at least once a day he will come and give Danny and I a big hug and say "Love you Mom." Gavin's best friend is his big brother Caleb.

Paw Power 5k

This year for the kids school fundraiser we put on a 5k. I helped on the committee and was excited to run with the boys. The morning of the race we awoke to several inches of snow. We were a little nervous people weren't going to show, but it was a great turnout and a lot of fun. Gavin ran the 11/2 and did great! He took first in his age category. Caleb did the 5k. Mom had to push him a little it was farther than he thought it was. He did awesome as well! He averaged 10:30 a mile. I was very proud of both of my boys and can't wait to do another with them.

Easter Sunday

Our cousin Sage has a ton of bunnies and brought some up Easter Sunday for the kids to play with. The kids were having so much fun. Chloe and Gavin especially. Little Mia was afraid and ran when every time one was brought over.

The hunt is on!!

We had a wonderful time at Grammy and Gramdpa Campbell's Easter BBQ! They had a huge easter egg hunt, the kids had to empty their baskets so they could fit more. Aunt Deanna spruced things up by filling a bunch with money. Which really made things exciting. Then we all colored eggs. It was a perfect day. It's always so much fun spending time with cousins.

Gabby lost her first tooth

BOSTON!!

We finally made it! It's been a couple years in the making, and a lot of hard work. April 18th finally came. This last month was really hard usually the closer it gets the more excited I am and training becomes easier. Not so much this time! But I put in the time and I was ready. For both the marathon and a vacation! Danny and I flew out four days before the race so we could experience Boston. It was a blast! We enjoyed cannoli's at Mike's Pastry. A great game in Fenway Park. Laughed our heads off at a comedy club. Even enjoyed a movie. Isn't the work supposed to come before play? The city was filled with track jackets. Everywhere you looked you saw something relating to the marathon. It was pretty cool. Felt cool to be a part of such a big event. Danny treated me like a rockstar! We went shopping and he spoiled me rotten, he insisted on carrying everything for me. The night before the race he gave me a massage. Wish it would have helped me sleep... At 5:30 the alarm went off and it was time to get ready. I met up with some gals to chill with until the race started. We actually didn't have too much downtime. We met at the park to board the buses and there was a line in every direction of people trying to load a bus. It was crazy! The athletes village was filled with excitement. Music, port-a-potties, and people everywhere! By the time we striped and headed to our gate we barely made it in time to hear the gun go off. Everything was so smooth. I can't believe how huge this event is and how well organized they are. I was pumped, the whole race was exciting. Spectators covered 80% of the course offering the runners everything from beer to a kiss! Unusual, yes! My race went well until about mile 23 then my quads felt like they were going to blow up. I pushed through and before I knew it, it was over. It was absolutely amazing I'm so grateful I was able to fly back and take part of this experience.

What a season!

This year the whole family had a pass to Sundance. We had some great ski trips we're sad it's over. The boys are doing really well, feeling pretty confident on their skis now. Gavin even attemped a couple of jumps today. It was pretty cute. They had the most fun skiing with their buddies. They found some fun tree runs and would race each other down the mountain. Gavin and Drew have a never ending game of tag that they played while on the mountain. The ended the day with a snow ball fight. All their faces were bright red. I think I've got them convinced that skiing rocks!!! Can't wait for next year!

Pinewood Derby

This was Caleb's second year racing. Dad helped him build a real sleek car. Luckily I did not have to participate at all this year. Caleb took second overall. He lost to his buddy Dustin again! Maybe next year they'll be able to take him down. Gavin also built a car and raced it. He was up against a Dad with a fan on his car! It screamed down the track.

Let's go fly a kite!

We just bought the coolest kite! We only had to throw it in the air once to watch it start flying, and we can still use it again. We were anxious to get out of the house and enjoy spring but after about an hour we were frozen its just not warm enough.

Who's supposed to be babysitting?

Doesn't take long for these kids to get into trouble! Little Bella is jumping and landing about three feet from the couch and landing perfect! She's crazy!
