Race for the Cure 2011


Doing the Race for the Cure is a yearly event that I look forward to! I love seeing the mass of people, that have in one way or another, been effected by breast cancer. It make me feel not so alone. This year I had my two cute nieces walk with us. Heidi came with us as well as Linda with her two and Angela with her cute little guy.

Sleeping Partners



How would you like to sleep like this? They both slept so great all night long. Not sure I would sleep so well...Don't you just love the eye masks? Zoe wouldn't keep hers on, but Lauren likes to at least start out with it on.

I love having my cute nieces over! Zoe and Jenna spent the night and then did the Race for the Cure with us the next morning. These girls have so much fun together. But, I swear, they must have worn all of Lauren's clothes that she has in her room. Why do girls have to change clothes 20 times a day? I don't get it! I don't remember doing that when I was there age...but, I also don't have the fashion sense that Lauren and Zoe have. Lauren comes up with the cutest outfits! She is contently getting compliments on her outfits. I can take no credit, except for having them in her room. I do have veto power, but beyond that, I have no control. It is not worth the huge fight or battle that will ensue. All I can do is veto something that I deem inappropriate. Occasionally, I can talk her into wearing something specific that I want her to wear, but usually I find it isn't worth it. What is my life going to be like in 10 years? At least I can veto and at least I can teach her and enforce modest clothing, right?

Grandpa's Visits

We are so lucky to have my dad! We love having him for dinner almost every Sunday. He will often show up during the week for a random visit. We wish he lived closer...maybe someday.

Skiing


Cesar started skiing a few years ago and he took Samuel up this past season. They both totally love it and are hooked! We are so lucky to live so close to the ski hills!
