Staying active as a mother.

My husband got to go to the UofU game. So I took the kids on a night hike. I am a stay at home mom and so I am always trying to find ways to stay active with my kids. I love to hike so in return my kids like to hike.

I love to hike anywhere I can but my favorite is in a little canyon right by my house. I am sure many of you have a trail or a park by your house that you can get in that 10 minutes of cardio a day with your kids.
When I go to the park With them I always try to find a way to fit in a little workout. Wether it be a few sets of Push ups on the stairs or even playing tag with the kids to get your heart rate up. I love hikes because I love to watch My little man hold his little sisters hand and tell her stories as they hike.

Jasper was telling us how Bigfoot probably walked this trail. And how Bigfoot was mean and little foot was nice. Oh that kid cracks me right up.
I feel like this is where memories are made right here taking in the small moments with them while they are little. I hope they remember hiking with their mom and I hope they make memories with their own kids one day.

Kira wanted me to pack her and then she wanted to hike and go for a run. She knows I love to run in the mountains. We got to hike to a park and they both had so much fun it was hard getting them to go back with me.

Hiking it heals my soul. I love seeing the trees dance in the wind and the sun setting over the mountains.

Family time....

Well today I was feeling a little down like just down. Well I think my husband noticed and decided to take us all on a hike to make me feel better. And it worked it wasn't really a hike but it was a walk up this road going up this mountain, so it pretty much could pass as a hike. Because I was dying a little my poor kiddos had a moment were they just wanted to be held and then Jasper was carrying Kira for a little bit. It was way cute. I can not believe how much Jasper loves his sister it is so cool to see them grow so close. I'm so greatful that they have each other. They are so different in so many ways but I think they just complete each other at the same time. It was just so touching to see them working together. I love them so much. Jasper is just so sweet and caring and Kira is so much fun. Paul is such a great dad and such a loving person. I appreciate him so much. He is just my other half. On this hike today I have never made it to The top to see this really co...

Do you ever have crazy, blessed days??

Today was that crazy blessed day for us. It all began with some church basketball in the morning lots of fun an a great workout. With my good friend. Then taking my husband to get his wisdom teeth pulled. I dropped him off at 11 and told the front desk ladies to call me when they were done. They said it was going to be an hour hour and a half maybe. Well his top two had grown in with no problems it was is bottom two that were giving him problems and we knew that they needed out fast because of infection. We don't have dental but they gave us some money off if we paid cash. So we went that route 800$ was the deal for all four teeth! I know pricey right! But it had to be done. So we rounded up the cash and I was waiting for the phone call. I finally get it and the lady on the other line sounded hesitant and then told me the bad knews. They had got the two top ones out but not the bottoms and he needed to be rushed to a surgeon. I was confused and stressed. How much more was this goin...

Bleacher workout with the kids.

My husband had scouts last night so I took the kiddos on a bleachers workout with me. It was cute to see my little guy go up and down the bleachers. I just feel so lucky to have my family. We have grown so much over the last year and a half. I love my kids. Being a stay at home mom has got to be the hardest thing I have ever done. Some days it tests everything in me especially my patients. But it's also the best thing I have ever done. It's amazing how much little people can teach you. I love to listen, to my kids point of view it's so sweet and innocent. And it gives me hope that there is good in this world. The bleacher workout went a little like this. Warmup round. Ran up and down all the stairs then came back did some stretches. Then did 3 rounds of hop scotch ups. Then did 2 sets of 10 dips. Then skip one down on steps 3 rounds. Ran all the stairs. Repeat 4 times. six pack promise workout in the middle of the field. Then chased the kids back and forth across...
