Kinlee's soccer team

Kinlee started playing soccer a few weeks ago and here is a picture of her cute team. She is in the back next to the coach. It's been fun, but very cold. She's even played in the pouring rain and her team does really well. We'll see if she wants to do it again next year... not sure if she loves it or not yet :)

BLACKMAIL.....

DUDE, ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT I AM KEEPING THIS PICTURE AND YOU WILL SEE IT LATER IN LIFE AS A SWEET BLACKMAIL PICTURE.

Garmin is not my friend.

So its that time of year again. Jill says I am getting fat so I need to start running again. So I started running a few weeks ago and it feels good. For the last week or so I have been tracking my runs with a GPS. After a long sweaty run your mind tells you "I must have run atleast 4 or 5 miles, you look down at your watch and it reads 3.1 What the crap..." So Garmin is no longer my friend, my friends atleast let me fib a little, Garmin does not.

An Easter Poem by Kinlee

I found this poem on the desk of the office today so I thought I would share it :)

5 Little Bunnies

5 little bunnies sitting on a bench
The 1st one said "Do you have a wrench?"
The 2nd one said "Let's go have some fun!"
The 3rd one said "Should we go run?"
The 4th one said "I'm too tired."
The 5th one said "Wow I just got fired!"

Haircut

So I took the girls for a haircut the other day. It was Kaitlyn's first real haircut at the salon. I had always just trimmed the back myself, but I am no pro and she needed a good cut and style. She was so cute, she was getting a deep condition here sitting under the heat for a few minutes looking at a magazine...






The finished products!!

One Hardcore Chick

Thought I would post this picture to let Jill know that she is one hardcore chick. She has been religiously going to Crossfit for 7 or 8 months now and from the picture you can see that it is really agreeing with her.

My Nemesis

I love diet coke.... man do I love diet coke. I love diet coke so much that a few years ago I bought a wine fridge and put it in the pantry so I could stock it full of my diet coke just to keep it chilled at 37.5 degrees. Anyone that loves diet coke knows that this is the optimal temperature to store it, this is in part because this temperature allows more carbonation to be released, thus creating a bigger head. There is nothing better than coming home and popping a nice cold aluminum can of coke, letting it fizz and then gulping it down. Just writing about it makes me want to go get one.
Anyways as part of our new years resolutions Jill and I are doing "theme months" where we pick something we need to do better at and try to improve on it. At first I thought "how can I improve on drinking diet coke?" Then my beautiful, but slightly crazy wife informed me that this meant that I was limited to two cans a day. I must be the crazy one to agree to such a thing. I thought last months "sugar free" month sucked, but this is taking it to a whole new level. Anyways I will let you know how it goes. Whether I last the month or cave in, either way it isn't going to be pretty.

The Dude

Is this not the cutest picture of Dude? Joel took it with his cell phone yesterday when he had the kids for a while. Such a funny kid :)

Chuck and Larry

I have a terrible memory.. I admit it. For years the two oldest have been known as Chuck and Larry. (from an old Adam Sandler movie). I might not remember their names all the time, but I remember the good times we have together, here we are at the Jazz game last night. The Jazz lost but Chuck, Larry and I had a good time together.

Squats at Crossfit

Love this picture! This is a common move we do at Crossfit. There I am in the back. hee hee
