Good dirty fun....

So, I'm getting back to running (consistently) again.  Yesterday was the first "race" I've done in a while.  I put race in quotes because we participated in a 3+ mile mud run with 20 obstacles.  It was not a speed thing.  I wasn't hoping to place or beat a certain time.  This was purely for the experience and fun factor.  And let me tell you, IT WAS FUN! 
What made it even more fun was the fact that my sister-in-law Aimee and nieces Erin and Caitlin did it too.  Great Gma and Uncle Aaron hung out with Lily, Riley and Lia and they all watched us slog through the final HUGE mud pit and cheered us on.

Good stuff huh?

Back to it....

So yeah, it's been slightly over a year since the last post to this blog.  Whoops!  My sister-in-law inspired me to get things  going again after seeing her new blog.
It's such a great way to keep everyone in the loop about what's going on in our little family and I'm a bit disappointed that I let it go this long.  What's done is done though.
So, without further ado, here are a few pictures since the last time....

Amateur Photography 

I couldn't pass up this shot of the sunrise and the moon

Another shot I took....tweaked a bit with "Photo Toaster"

I loved the red sunflowers Dylan brought home and thought they looked beautiful next to the colors in the painting hanging over the mantle.

More to come, another day....
