When I go running....

This is a beautiful spot where I go running.  Most of this path is covered in trees on both sides but this spot is a little more open with a big field on one side.  I love it!!!  This is at 6:30 am when I was out running with Tim.  The fog in the field looked cool....  Sorry they are a bit blury. I took the pic while running.  I didn't want to stop.


We be CRUSIN'!!!!

I know I am a little out of order.  I posted a bunch and then forgot about the Temple open house and Easter and my CRUISE!!!  How could I forget to Blog about my Cruise with my girlfriends???   Well.... I guess that shows how busy I have been lately.  Anyway.... I came home with a TON of pictures!!!  I will try to just give the highlights. 

I went crusin' with 11 girls/wives/mothers from our ward/area.  We had something like 24 kids betwen all of us at home.  What great husbands we have. We had lots of fun!!!



My first Sushi!  I loved it!!!  It didn't have raw meat in it though.  I still wont do that.

Reading the Hunger Games.  So awesome!


 I think I gained 5 lbs. just looking at this dessert.  Yum!!!

Easter

Saturday Easter Egg Hunt at the park...


Sunday, Easter morning we woke up to breakfast on the table.  Tyler got up early and made breakfast for all of us and set the table and wrote a note that said Happy Easter.  What a sweet boy!!!

We are excited to have our Temple back!!! 

Tim got to see his cousin at the open house, Elder King who is from Arizona but serving here in the Atlanta North Mission.


 It is so beautiful inside too....





Mother's day 2011...

I just did a brag moment but I have to do another one.  Tim was out of town for Mothers Day helping with the Tornado Relief.  Tyler and the girls arranged a fantastic Mothers day for me all on their own.  I felt so spoiled!!! 

I got to sleep in!!!  Tyler got Katie out of bed and got her breakfast and took care of her and his sisters while I slept.  When I woke up I laid there in bed just relaxing for a bit.  I didn't hear any yelling or fighting.  It was wonderful!  Then I thought, I better go check on the kids.  Just then, I hear little feet coming up the stairs and Tyler comes in with a plate of scrambled eggs and a bowl of my favorite cereal.  What a treat!  Breakfast in bed!!! (He even brought a cup of milk separate so my cereal wouldn't get soggy.) Then the girls came up with presents.  They all crawled in bed with me and watched as I red their hand made cards and presents.  It was so sweet.  Then they all left to go clean up while I laid in bed and slowly ate my breakfast in peace.  What an enjoyable morning.

My loot of hand made cards and presents.  Kenna rolled a ball of 3 different colors of her favorite candy, Laffy Taffy and gave it to me.  I know that was a big thing for her to share her favorite candy with me. 
She also made me a jar of bath salt at Activity Days. It smells wonderful. I can't wait to take a bath with it.


Brag moment...

Tyler mow's the lawn for me now.  He has done it twice for me!  I am so lucky!!!


Peachtree City International Triathlon

Tim's second Olympic Triathlon.  He had so much fun.  It's my turn to do another race.  I am getting ready to run the Ragnar in Florida.


Tyler's Piano Recital - May 2011

Tyler's played two songs.  Minuet and The Pink Panther.  Video Below....


The Video... sorry the video is horrible.  The file was too big to upload to this blog so I had to record it off the lap top to a lower resolution.  It looks bad and it doesn't help that I had a child on my lap during the recital when I was trying to record the orignal so it is all over the place.  It's more for listening than seeing. :o)

Helping Tornado Victims - May 2011

Tim and over 1000 other members from our chrurch in this area went to Alabama over Mothers day weekend to help clean up from the recent Tornados.  What a great service they were able to provide. 

Tim and Tony Peterson...


 Members of our Ward that went to help...
 I am amazed the damage a tornado can do.  I can't beleive it uprooted two big trees...
 trees through the roof of a house.... I guess this is not bad compared to some areas.  Some areas were only home foundations no structures left.
 Look at the size of the treee and the roots.... holy cow!!!

The thunder storms bring our kids together and I don't blame them.  They get soo loud, it's scary!!!
