Day 5

Friends are friends forever, or at least we can hope. Arranged marriages should still be legal today...if it were there is no doubt in my mind that these two could make an awesome pair. They have been friends for going on 3 years! There is still no such thing as girl/boy cuddies yet, well at least not between these two. I hope as the years go on that they can still be such great friends.

Day 4!

I'm Back!!!!

So extremely thankful for Roller Derby and what it has brought to my life this past year, yes it was a year on October 27th, can you believe that?!?! Since my surgery in July I have only skated 7 times, yes 7 times. Tonight I was given chance to re asses with the freshies. I'm not gonna lie I was pretty bummed about having to re asses again. I had passed the first time around last April but when I got hurt in June I had to take time (too much time) off to recover which unfortunately changed my skater status. I wasn't feeling like I was ready to pass tonight but I felt like at the very least I needed to try without expectation of passing. Well I did it I passed!I am so relived that my journey has once again started and I with no doubt know there are many and I mean many things I need to work on before team try outs in Jan. Baby steps right. I am just thankful that my hubby and kiddos allow me this time away 3 plus times a week to be involved with such an amazing group of woman as well as such a physically empowering sport which I have grown to love!!

PS, I'm also stoked to just have received my awesome letters for my helmet, making this one fantastic night to remember!

Day 3!

I love my family.

This was the best family vacation we have ever gone on (not that we vacation much) but when we do I think camping is the way to go! This was fun for so many reasons. It was a much needed breath of fresh air for all of us. We are making this trip to Pinecrest an annual vacation! From August til Nov the the kids still talk about this trip almost daily!

Day 2

Genuine love!

30 Days of Thankfulness!

Day 1: Summer in November!

Sundresses, park play time and the warm shining sun, what else could you wish for, for the first day of November!

Happy Halloween!

And the rain came down.

Myles' kickball party got rained out today :( Luckily he was a pretty good sport about it when we told him we would take him, his siblings as well as seven of his friends to chuck e cheese for the afternoon. Our Cousins and their families also met us there. We had a great impromptu b-day party in spite of the rain. This was the first time we had to deal with rain on his actualy b-day/party day. Still a great day to celebrate! Happy 7th B-day buddy!
