Happy Birthday Morgan

Morgan had a little birthday party this year. It was a lot of fun. I can't believe he is already four. Didn't Tara just turn four. Where does the time go?

This is the cake from Family Fun that I attempted to duplicate. My frosting wasn't that great, but it looked pretty similar.

Beach Day

Monday we headed to the beach. It wasn't the warmest day of the year, but it wasn't raining and we had fun. Here are a lot of pictures of our day. Hope you enjoy!

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY ERIC

Can you believe this stunningly handsome man is 30 now? Well I can't. We are getting up there! Maybe I should say we just yet. I still have two years to go.

Alex loves putting on other's shoes. Here he is sporting Tara's flip flops. I love it!

Happy Memorial Day

Eric is a volunteer firefighter and they put flags out at the cemetery each year. This was our first time going and we really enjoyed it. I am grateful for all these men and women did for me and our country (even if I am part Canadian :o)

Excuses Excuses

The other day while running I was thinking to myself about all the excuses we make. I decided often when we make an excuse for something, we are only holding ourselves back. My tv watching is very slim, but every week I watch the The Biggest Loser on hulu.com. I admit, I am a junkie. There is something about watching people learn how to help themselves overcome challenges that I enjoy.

I have learned so much about overcoming what you believe your weaknesses to be. I have learned how to push through excuses and find the long term happiness in good decision making. I could go on, but many of you who watch probably know what I am talking about.

Overall, don't put off today what you won't do tomorrow. Raise the bar for yourself and see what you can achieve. Do it with your eating habits, your exercise, your scripture reading, your prayer. Learn to be better. That's why we are here on this earth, isn't it!

I found my toe

I'm unloading the dishwasher and Alex comes in to show me what he found. I thought it was really cute and he was thoroughly entertained. My kids go through socks like crazy. Anyone have that problem? I should start darning them, but don't. Do people still darn socks?
