Austin kicking butt at the pentathalon!

Austin was so excited for the pentathalon this year!

 last year I was late and missed almost everything ;(

So this year I brought Dad and Bentley and we were early! He was happy to see us!

 

The first event was sprinting

 Austin ran so stinking fast!

                                             They were really happy with their times!

Getting ready for the mile run!

                                                                 Running the mile!

                                                              Way to go Austin!

Birthday weekend!

For my Birthday I wanted to do something fun with the kids. And I thought to myself what do kids love? Hotels and Swimming pools!

So we booked a night at a local hotel but didn't tell the kids what we were doing they thought we were just going out to eat for my birthday. But after we finished eating we headed to our hotel. they were so excited cause my kids are obsessed with going to hotels. but when we told them their was a swimming pool they were in their suits in no time!

They were so happy and that's all I wanted was for my kids to be Happy and have a GREAT time!

 

The smiles on their faces says it all!

 

Brothers Austin helping Bentley be like spider man around the pool.

                   New year New Goals!

This year I looked at my New year Goals as more of a family thing and less of a all about me thing. If I am an example to my kids then I will not only succeed in my 1,2,3, goals but in teaching my kids good habits for a life time and in making memories we can cherish as a family forever!

1. Simplify! If you've been to our house ever especially unannounced, you have seen first hand that we have too much Freaking stuff!  Yes Simplify!
2. Fallow through! We are GUILTY of telling the kids ya lets do this or we are going to do this and then dun dun dun.... we don't follow through. We get lazy and realize how much work it would actually take to like for example take the kids camping so we don't go. But I have realized we are missing out on making so many fun memories! Fallow through!
3. Get Healthy! Not just me but my entire family! After little Lizzy had some health issues due to her diet. I realized we need to teach our kids about fueling our bodies not Just feeding our bodies. They need to learn how important it is to take care of our self's and be active. Yes we must Get Healthy as a Family! 

Those are my New years Goals!
