Ragnar 2010

After experiencing Ragnar last year even with how crazy hard and exhausting it was, there wasn't much question if we'd do it again! The out of control pure nuttiness of it, you can't help but want to be a part.

These are the girls of this years team.These are the great guys of our van! This is some of our team waiting for Andrea to come hand off. As you can see we were the Cereal Killers. We all had different names! They entertained many as they danced and had their talented rhythm going!

A big treat this year is that I got Sandra to join. Not our team, but she was able to go with another team. We were running the same leg, but they had started earlier so when I got a call from her she'd just finished her first run and I was about to start she said it was so easy and that I only had two tricky hills. As I was running and had counted my 5th tricky hill I came to the conclusion her definition of hill is different than mine. If it is larger than a curb in my book it's a hill! It was a treat to meet up at one of the rest stops. She caught the bug and is trying to recruit for a family team, watch out! Sandra is amazing, I loved having her along to understand the absurd fun this race is!

At the end you meet with both vans and run across the finish line. We have a great team!

Super Stition Farm Field Trip

Carter had a field trip to Superstition Farm and it was such a treat to go with him. I love watching his excited expressions when he gets to do new things. He was so excited to have me there that he made sure I was right next to him or close, I was shocked but he sure knows how to make his mom feel loved. It was a lot of fun. The people at the farm were so good with the kids and taught them so much!
He's a natural!

They kept things so clean that the cows didn't even stink!

Valentines Day & Chinese New Year

Last year Mom & Dad did a Chinese New Year Dinner that was sooo good.

This year Chinese New Year & Valentines were on the same day so Dad & Mom invited us over for a fun Valentines Dinner.

Mom is getting so creative now that she has been introduced to blogs and other things on the computer. She found this cute idea with a Twinkies, it was quite a hit!

Then Sandra takes creative to a new level. Instead of taking Valentines treats to people she made them Chinese New Year treats since they fell on the same day. Isn't this soo cute, it's sushi made out of rice crispy treats & hi hos.
