Slices of Life - May 2015

GARDEN OF THE GODS 5K
MAY 2, 2015
Ran in the Garden of the Gods 5K today. It wasn't any easier this year even though I feel like I'm in better running shape. The course is all up or down and there is hardly any flat. I placed 3rd for women and 14th overall men and women combined. I ran the course this year in 22:20.  It was fun to see so many friends from my group there running. Kelsey came in a little ahead of me. I’m so grateful for Mike and the girls who came to support me in this "training" race. What a great place to run!

MAY 2, 2015
Both the boys went camping with the boy scouts to Mt. Herman and had a great time.  This was the first campout that both Andrew and Peter got to go on together as Boy Scouts.

TORNADO LIKE WEATHER
MAY 3, 2015

The springtime in Colorado Springs brings lots of crazy weather.  Our afternoons are usually filled with thunder, lightening and rain.  Today I could see a storm in the distance and it looked kind of cool.

GOOFY GLASSES
MAY 4, 2015
Abby is definitely entertainment in our house.  She is always either doing something funny or wearing something outrageous.  Today she came downstairs with funny dress up glasses and read her book to us.  She is a hoot.

FAMILY HOME EVENING
MAY 4, 2015
 We try to do a good job about having Family Home Evening every week.  Some weeks are definitely better than others.  Today we all sang (including the boys) and then Peter gave us a lesson.  He did such a great job!

BIKING IN THE MUD
MAY 6, 2015

Even though the weather is unpredictable these days, I still try to get out and ride my bike in preparation for my upcoming Xterra triathlon.  Today was a particularly muddy day but I still had fun biking around the Section 16 trail in Black Forest.

CRAZY HAIL STORM
MAY 7, 2015

We get quite a few hailstorms during the month of May.  Today’s hailstorm was CRAZY.  Up near our house we got a good covering of hail but down south where Mike works the hail was so deep that some of the roads ended up closing.

TEMPLE WITH THE BOYS
MAY 7, 2015

It was a crazy afternoon with the most hail I had ever seen. I'm so grateful the weather heading north was good enough so we could spend the evening in the temple with our boys. It was Pete's first time and it was glorious. We have such good boys.

PETER AND ABBY PLAYING TOGETHER
MAY 9, 2015

I love watching my kids play together.  Even though Peter is in Middle School now he still takes the time to play with his younger sisters.  I loved watching how sweet he was playing Sylvania Family with Abby.

BISON RIDGE SIGN DOWN AGAIN
MAY 10, 2015

We have had some little thieves in our neighborhood who have stolen the Bison Ridge and Kettle Creek sign letters.  After a year or two of replacing those I think the HOA finally wised up and decided to redo the sign to something more permanent.  We were so excited by the new sign until three of the stones fell off.  Hopefully they will get that fixed soon.

EMMA AND PETER AT THE SCHOOL "LAKE"
MAY 10, 2015

With all the rain we have been having the lower field at the elementary school completely flooded.  It actually looked like a lake had always existed there.  Emma and Peter really wanted to go and see it.

EMMA'S RECORDER CONCERT
MAY 18, 2015

In third grade the kids learn how to play the recorder during music time.  Every time they passed off a level they got a different colored yarn to tie onto their recorder.  Emma was so excited to learn all the songs and get to the highest level, which was black.   During the concert the kids only played the songs that corresponded to the highest level they achieved.  Emma was one of the few kids who played all the songs because she had made it to the highest level.  I’m so proud of her.

ABBY MOWING THE LAWN WITH DAD
MAY 21, 2015

It’s finally that time of year when we start seeing more rain, warmer temperatures, and greener lawns.  Luckily, the grass seems to recover quickly from the winter.  Even though it wasn't the warmest of days Abby was so excited to help Mike mow the lawn in her polka dot pajamas.

OVERNIGHTER WITH MIKE IN DENVER
MAY 22, 2015
Mike and I headed up to Denver for a one-night getaway and stayed at the Ritz Carlton.  With our new American Express platinum card we got a $60 gift certificate to breakfast and a $100 certificate towards dinner.  Yippee!! We toured around the city and walked by the Capital building before eating at a really awesome restaurant called Elways.  After filling our bellies with happiness we headed up to our room to watch movies and stay up late.  We enjoyed sleeping in and eating breakfast in our room.  Before heading back home we went shopping at the Japanese grocery store down the road and then headed over to REI to look around.  It was the perfect little getaway!

ALFALFA PETER
MAY 25, 2015

Peter came downstairs with his hair all slicked just to be funny.  The funniest part about it was that he looked exactly like Alfalfa because a tiny piece was sticking up in the back.  We all thought that was hilarious.

MAY 27, 2015

For Emma’s End of the Year Party I made Survivor flags for our Survivor themed party.  They turned out so well!!!
