About Me

My photo
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back. - Unknown

Chef Brady

Brady made his own breakfast! Blueberry Pancakes... yum :)
He did a wonderful job too, very minimal mess :)

Not sure how he gets the 'shapes'....
How can you not enjoy that bed head :)
mmmmmmmm.....good

Red Pine Lake

If youre anything like me, and the most exercise you get is cleaning house then I would not recommend this hike for you. Its quite painful!
Its 7 miles round trip hike that felt like alot more!
But the Lake at the top was well worth the grueling steep hike, the flies, the pain, and rolled ankles. (Coming down I stepped on a rock and it slid out from under me and I rolled my ankle)






Logan was a trooper! He did better than the rest of us. We were panting, sweating, on the verge of tears, and he just kept going!
tiny steep trails all the way up
scary rock slide
dont slip






This little fella was out having a snack when we interrupted, but he seemed to be ok with it, he actually hopped over to say hello. I think he liked having his picture taken :)

Fish in the water :)

So this is what Brady is doing now instead of football. He decided this is what he really enjoys. He wants to give football a break for this year, but I still think he's going to miss it. I dont. Yet. But Im sure in a few weeks Ill wish we were all out there in the middle of everything. But at the same time, its going to be a nice break.
Brady loves to swim, he looks like a natural and I really enjoy watching him learn more every day. Hes hoping to be as good as Michael Phelps someday....as long as he doesnt aact like the guy Im alright with Brady swimming like him :)
These are pictures from his first swim meet. Hes on a pre-comp team for now. Once he perfects his strokes he can move up to a competition team.
So far we all agree that breast stroke is the one for him. He likes it, looks good doing it and can swim the fastest with it.





Here are some photos from the second meet he had. I actually got to see this one. The weather was gloomy and it rained but of course that doesnt stop a bunch of kids who love to be in the water :}~
