Things you do....

The things you'll do to stop a crying baby

Ty and I played paparazzi while momma ran into Dierbergs....

Our, Emmit the Elf

 Joesph is loving Emmit the Elf, who has been visiting out house every night.

While JR and Ty are sleeping, the elf does some crazy things.

Joseph can't wait every morning to see what's gone on.

 He turned the chairs backwards...

 One night he moved the couch...

 He hung out with Mr. Bear and Dog

 He tipped over all the chairs (JR did NOT like that!)

 The best had to be when we packed for a recent trip to Chicago

and JR thought the Elf packed everything......

It's been a fun run up to X-mas, 5days to go!

After time on the bike.....

 Once i get home from a good cold ride on the bike, it's always nice to see the boys...

Have no idea why, but they both love myt left over cycling water??? 

Quick shout out to Cole Sports in Park City Utah--Best Water Bottles i have!!

Sometimes it's better to be the Prince!

 Sure it's good to be the king.....

 But sometimes it pays to be the Prince!

2 Races, 4 Runners, 6 Medals.....

If it's Fall, there must be a running race somewhere....

Last weekend included back to back races Saturday and Sunday...

JR did his first running race, Daddy finally got on the podium and Nana tried to defend her

1st place AG from last year.

 This Space Ship has sleeping bags and wind protector....It was a very comfortable 75 inside, while 33 outside...

 JR, "Get your game face on!"

 Great Job JR!!!!

Zoo around here.....Halloween recap!

We kicked off the Halloween morning with a 5K race in Glendale...

Momma pushed TY for the first time in a race and did very well, daddy thought he could contend fro the overall,  but was quickly dusted and watched 2 guys run away from him a 1/2 mile into the race...

 Then it was home and prep for Trick or Treat...
