Boating with my sister and her family!

It was great fun to have my sister and her family out on our boat!  We had a perfect day: 85 and sunny!

Monday of Sister and Nephew's Visit!

Woo hoo! This is a great day! I actually ran for 20 minutes without stopping this morning! And best of all my sister was there to witness it! Woo hoo!

My sister and I took the boys to the gym. They played while we worked out. I walked for 5 minutes, ran for 20 minutes, walked for 5 minutes, ran for 10 minutes, and walked for 10 minutes for a total of 50 minutes. I feel great! There is no way I could have done that the first week of my Couch to 5K training.

We are having a blast with my sister and nephew here!! Last night we ordered pizza. After supper, the kids played and then went to bed by 9:00. DadOf3, Sister, and I watched Knocked Up and it was hilarious! We sent the movie back to netflix and hope to get Enchanted by Wednesday.

Princess will be home from school in about 20 minutes. It is big homework night. We kind of slid off the homework bandwagon during Spring Break. I was going to make her read every night. Oops. We will incorporate reading this summer as a requirement for going swimming.

Everyone is napping so the house is quiet. A nice blogging opportunity. :)

3 Cousins and 3 babies

I love pictures. I love taking pictures, I love arranging pictures, and I love looking at pictures. My digital camera has opened up a whole new world of picture-playing. It is my main hobby these days because I can do it when the kiddos are sleeping or when they are being good and playing together. My computer sits in the living room where I can keep a good handle on what is going on where. I just ran across one of the neatest pictures! It was taken all the way back in 2002. The gal to my right is my sister and her son. The guy to my left in the picture is my cousin and his son. This picture is of our three oldest kiddos in 2002 and in 2007. :) I love pictures!
