Fathers Day

This is a tribute to Bard one of the best dad's! Poor Bard was sick on fathers day this year and I just wanted to let him know how much we love and appreciate him! Bard your the best!

New Hair

So I went and got my hair done today, and like most of you know, that is usually a big deal for me because I have had it ruined so many times! Today luckily was different. I actual left the salon liking it which is a pretty rare occasion. Anyway here is a picture, not the best of me but at least the hair is good! :D

Out to Explore

My alarm went off Saturday morning just a touch too early. I was still tired from too little sleep and the prospect of heading out to run for hours didn't improve my predawn mood. But the ever present knowledge that my first 50 mile race is only weeks away I knew I would regret it if I didn't get the run in. 

I decided that if I had to get out I would go somewhere new. It isn't difficult to find new places when you have to run that long. I explored the Poudre River Trail and managed to come upon this excellent bridge at about 12 miles. Although the timer wasn't long enough for a proper self portrait the combination of the bridge lines, and the low angle made it my favorite for the day. 

This is my new favorite bridge. The river was very high because of spring run off and several heavy rains the day before. I managed to get through the day and hit my goal of 35 miles. The new scenery helped me keep my mind off the running and in my books finding new places always makes for a good day. So rather than taking my nerdish approach to running to a new level by publishing a "Running" Blog, Ricki suggested that I keep it to a minimum by publishing my favorites on the family blog. Remember you don't need to run 35 miles to explore. So get out, do something, and enjoy. 

Potty Training

We started potty training Kre today and apparently it was exhausting work! We told him he had to try and go potty before he went to sleep but as you can see he didn't make it! Bard and I couldn't stop laughing!

Memorial Day Rain

Well, we had a great memorial day. It was filled with working out, friends, BBQ, and Rain!  It rained nearly all day. By the end of our BBQ dinner it stopped (of course) and at that point kre was so sick of being in the house that I decided to take him outside to walk around. Then I decided that we should take advantage of the puddles and if we were going to do that, it was only fair that Brig and Bard join us. So here are the pictures. And yes I am dry, I didn't partake I just encouraged and took pictures!

Tornado

Well, today was an interesting day. Let me go back first to last week where I had a talk with Brig about Tornado's. He was wondering about them and asking how you handle them when you are in one. So I explained all of the fun facts of tornado's and then said at the end of the conversation how Colorado doesn't get tornado's and you don't need to worry about them. Boy did he call me on that today.  We experienced our first tornado storm today. It was very creepy to say the least. We were very fortunate not to be hit, sadly the town right next to us was destroyed and others in the surrounding area.  I didn't get any picture and kick myself now, but I think my friend did and I will post them if I get them soon. So we are all fine and hope not to have to worry about that again!

What Princess are you?

I did this quiz on the Downs blog and thought it was cute! Check it out!

You Are Ariel!

Headstrong and fiesty. You have a mind of your own that's full of romantic dreams about the world around you. Exploring exotic places is your ultimate dream, and although you can be a little naive you'll realize that there is something to be gained from your family's wisdom.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Last Game

Today was Brig's last soccer game. He did a great job and was so proud of his trophy. 

Purse Party!

Yesterday I went to a purse party. It was a lot of fun just hanging out and trying on purses. So after trying on a dozen or so this is the one everyone thought looked the best. It's a little different for me but I think I like it.... Metallic is suppose to be the latest think so at least I'm in the now. I really wanted to go with a cute Juicy couture bag but, I decided that I couldn't justify spending that much money on a purse.
