Major Blog Catch Up Day

Have you ever just been treading water, just trying to stay afloat. That is where I've been lately. Between work, housework, yard work, kids stuff and everything. That's where I've been. We've just got back from an amazing vacation and I have a day to blog. Okay, not really, but between loads of laundry I'm hoping to get caught up. Here we go.

State Track

Dakoda just finished his first year of track and we are very excited that he made it to state. He has really enjoyed track. He actually trained a little bit. He would have probably won had he really trained hard, but that wouldn't be Dakoda now would it.

WAY TO GO DAKODA!!!

New Candles

I didn't know if I should post this picture or not. Because it shows my still unfinished tile work. I have looked for a trim that I am in love with and still haven't found one... soooo it goes undone. I will find one some day. ANYWAY... when we were cleaning out the garage I found some blocks of wood that were from our stair railing. They were just big square blocks. I sent them with Dakoda to wood shop and told him to be creative. I needed them for candle holders. And this is what he brougt home. I LOVE THEM. He will be bringing home my bookcase for the office here before long and I will post a picture of it. I am so excited!!!

Birthday / Mother's Day Picnic

Testing out the tricks on his new bike.

Just Chillin'

Dylan being his charming little pesty self.

Dakoda looking for a hotdog. This kid is always looking for food!!!!

Again with Dylan being a pain. Poor Devin.

Really... Seriously... Poor Devin.

Happy Birthday Devin.

Me and my man.

Dakoda is a goof ball.

Dylan found a jump to entertain himself. Devin is finally able to relax.

There is nothing like a good dog in the mountains.

Devin's Birthday Present

Devin had a very hard time trying to decide what he wanted for his birthday. We went out to Toys'R'us and he rode every bike they had up and down the isles. FINALLY, he decided on this one. I love that we live in an area they can ride their bikes wherever they want.

Devin's Birthday Cake

I am obviously not professional at this cake decorating thing, but I was quite tickled when Devin got home from school and could actually tell that it was suppose to be Iron Man on it. We (the kitchen and myself) were completely covered in frosting but I loved the cake.

Region Track 2010

Dakoda did it!!! He placed third in Region and is on his way to state. We are so proud of the determination he has showed in track this year. I think he has loved it. He is running the 2-mile in 11:40. That is awesome in my book.
