So proud of my runners!

The boys are all doing a race series on Sundays for 5 weeks.  Eli is 50 yard dash, Jonah is 1/2 mile, and Trey is 1 mile.

Eli's race wasn't timed.  The first week he was nervous and ran holding Trey's hand.   He did better the 2nd week, but still ran with Jonah next to him.

Jonah came in 1st 2 weeks in a row, and shaved 8 seconds off his time.



It's hard to tell with the way the results are shown, but Trey came in 4th week 1 and 1st week 2.  I think he saw all the excitement when Jonah came in first week 1 and tried harder in week 2!

Greenland open space 4 mile trail run

This crazy crew did a 4 mile trail run yesterday. Clint finished 7th overall and 1st in his division. Trey and Ryan finished 12th and 13th overall and 1st and 2nd in their division. There were over 100 racers, so a great accomplishment! I was significantly slower but jogged the entire 4 miles, the first 2 of which were uphill. So I am very proud of myself!!

gross

Me: Eli don't stick your hand down your pants.

Eli: Why not?

Me: Because that is where your poop comes out and it's dirty.

Eli: Mommy! I wasn't sticking my hand in there. Just 1 finger.



Ugh - life with boys!

Last winter hike of the year

We got a decent amount of snow Friday and Saturday. I went with a friend to a new hike-Bergen Peak-9.4 miles and 2000 vertical feet, and it was so incredibly beautiful with the snow. We opted not to use snowshoes which was the right choice as we didn't totally need them and I didn't want to get stuck carrying them, but that made it more challenging to get to the top. On the way down the sun was already doing it's thing, so parts of the trail were really slushy and muddy. It took us almost 6 hours to go up and down. It probably would've been closer to 4 hours had it been completely dry.

Part of the trail went through a wildlife protection area, but ironically we did not see any wildlife until we were back on the road and there was an elk crossing the street. Ha!

Baseball tournament

Jonah is playing in a baseball tournament this weekend. 2 games on Saturday and 2 games so far today. He's been in a hitting slump but got a hit in the last game! He also pitched a few innings and struck out 2 batters.

Who is 40? This guy!!

Jonahs first baseball game of the spring season

They lost 12 to 4 but the team actually looked pretty good! Jonah sat on the bench a couple innings, played 3rd base and center field when he was on the field.

The picture of the beautiful catch he made was during practice not the game.

Eli is "loving" his first swim class!
