Thanksgiving 2011

We had Thanksgiving with Shelly and several of our friends this year. Nikki hosted, along with her parents. We had so much fun and it was so nice to be together!

Each of us wives lit a candle for our husband.

All Good Things Come To An End

R&R was great while it lasted. We mostly just hung out and pretended like we have a normal life. My toilet got fixed, along with my sprinkling system, garage light, headlight, and the winter lawn work got done. Phew, it's was good to have a man around!


The saying goodbye wasn't too bad. The kids did fine until Morgan realized the situation and started crying. But we made it through. Everything has already been crazy since he left. The house feels emptier already, but we are halfway done, so I know it will go fast.

Race To Remember Half Marathon

I love running! I love running with my hubby! I love racing and I love beating myself! Last year I ran a half marathon in 2:37. Today I did it in 1:57!!! Clint did it in 1:45! He's amazing.

I never thought I could cut 40 minutes off my time! But with my girls at CrossFit always pushing me to be my best, I actually did it!! They were there at the finish line to cheer me, along with Clint and it felt good to hear them cheering me on!





Anna, Rosalinda, and Paula! Fire breathers!


Love this guy so much! I already miss him and he hasn't even gone back to Afghanistan yet!


Ya know, I'm older than I've ever been (obviously) and I feel AMAZING! I could totally kick my 17- year old booty! I may not look better than I did back then but I'm so much stronger, faster, healthier, all around better!

Clint's Birthday

We celebrated Clint's bay on the 30th since we knew we'd be trick-or-treating on Halloween (his actual birthday). We started off with carving pumpkins...
Mo did NOT want to get her hands dirty!


But she finally gave it a try!

The finished product





Then we made and decorated cupcakes. Always fun! Jacks was so proud of himself. He kept saying "I did it mom!" Every time he put sprinkles on his cupcake.





Piling on the marshmallows.





Clint loved hearing the kids sing to him.

Daddy Came Home

Clint came home yesterday for R&R. We're so excited to have him here! The kids ran right to him and gave him hugs and kisses. It was rough, but I waited my turn. As I suspected, Morgan is attached to his hip. Thanks to my friend Caitlin for taking these pictures for us!

Catch Up
