It's About Time!


I know, I know, It has been way to long since I updated my blog. We are starting a new year. New goals, new outlook on life. I signed up for a triathlon in May and the Ragnar Relay "Wasatch Back" in June. It will be my weight-loss, get in shape journey for the year. I also plan to run a half marathon this spring as part of my training. I really want to be fit and I love to set goals so that I can get myself to the gym. I am grateful for support from friends and family. I had so much fun running the Wasatch Back last June. It really felt like a huge accomplishment. I want to use this blog not only for my family updates but as a motivation to lose weight. I will post my weight-loss journey for my family and friends to see. It is June 6th today and so far this year I have kept on my workout/eating schedule. I have lost 4.5 lbs since the 1st. Keep on, keepin'on!

Bruno 5 is a Cub Scout!



Our little Bruno just turned 8 and will be getting baptized on the 28th of May. He just went to his very first cub scout (wolf) activity. They went on a little trail hike up in the mountains east of our house. He had a lot of fun with his friends that he knows from church. He was sooo excited to get his uniform and hat! He made me put his patches on the minute we walked in the door from buying them. I am so proud of him and excited to help him earn all of his badges.

I got my ears! ^ ^




So in the last two weeks Milo's ears have decided to point straight up on their own. He is our little batman! He is super cute and we love him. He has already learned to sit, lay down, roll over, and jump on command. We had a great day at the park with him and he made lots of new friends.

More pics of Milo!





Our New Puppy!



Introducing our latest addition to the family......Milo! He is our sweet little puppy. He is 12 weeks old and the love of our lives! :) He is such a good dog. He loves the kids and loves to sit and snuggle with Mom and drive everywhere with us. He is potty training amazingly well and is so easy to take care of. His favorite thing to do is play fetch with all of his toys. We are so happy to have him!! We found him from a breeder down the street who normally breeds Yorkies. She is one of the only breeders in Utah for this type of dog. They are called prazsky Krysaviks(prague ratter for short). His Mom was imported from the Czech Republic where they are mostly found. They are growing in popularity in the US and, in our families opionion, the "perfect dog"! He is not a yippy dog at all and is super smart. This is our third dog that we have owned since we've been married and definately the best fit for our family. We recommend this breed to anyone!! Here are a few pics of him....Enjoy!!!

Winter Wonderland







It snows so much here in Utah that it just becomes a way of life. I grew up in Washington State most of my life and it rarely snows there. If it snowed or if we had black ice the schools would close and we would stay at home!! Nothing gets cancelled for weather here! My kids love the snow and love to play outside on their sleds and make snowmen. Here are a few pictures of the kids playing outside in the "W.W."(winter wonderland).
