There is no other way I would've rather have spent my Mother's Day than watching my girl shred! This was the first Mountain Bike Race I was able to attend and I loved cheering for Holly. It was a hot one and Holly really felt sick starting on the first hill. After the race, she felt pretty rough! But she got 7th! I have loved watching Holly develop and passion and a drive for Mountain Biking. I'm so proud of her! She has one more race in June in Winthrop before the season closes.

We had lots of fun cheering on the middle school marching bands at the jr Lilac Parade. The littles ate SO much candy. This was our first time watching this parade and it was great!

Instead of dollhouses and dolls, we're all about cars and garages. I love my boys so much! And this little guy... gosh, my heart pitter patters for him on the daily. He's a joy.

I apologize in advance to my youngest children who do not get multiple photo shoots a week like their big sisters did. Starting a small business and running a household of seven is no joke and lots of things have been trimmed.

The weather is warming up and I am not complaining about these chubby little legs I get to admire all day long. Ira has fat little ankles and calves - they still look babyish and gosh I just want to eat them. The boys were initially very confused by shorts and kept trying to pull them down to their ankles. I think we've caught on now.
