Spring might finally be here!?
Here it is already May! Actually looking at the date its Cinco De Mayo and today is my dad and Claudia’s 10th Wedding anniversary! Congrats!
We have had several busy weeks! Spring break in March was a low key week of Mitchell home with the kids. My job has been very busy so I am so grateful I have a husband around to help so much with the kids and the house. Sometimes its really hard not having him working but he is doing well in his classes. Sometimes I really dislike my 40 minutes commute but at the same time how can I complain when I have a good job that I like in this economy.
Archie has really come around with our training we have been working on. He has turned into the most wonderful family pet. The kids love playing with him in the backyard. We still need to get him neutered, he really loves to smell and leave his mark everywhere he can try which makes walks frustrating sometimes. I am trying to make him be my running buddy but sometimes its too frustrating taking him along. The weather has just been awful for too long here in the Willamette Valley. It was a record wet April. I am dying for some sunshine and spring weather! My goal to is to keep working out and run more and longer. I want to run a half marathon (13.1 miles) either later this fall or next year.
Madilynn turned 8 in April and we had a Spa Theme Birthday party for 10 girls. Oh goodness it was a great time. I will post pictures in another blog post.
We spent a weekend in April at the Oceanside Open with my dad and Claudia. It was sunny and warm at the Oregon coast. We could not have asked for a better relaxing weekend! I swear it was the only sunny days we had I April so we really lucked out! Madilynn took her first paragliding flight with Grandpa Mark. We also visited the Tillamook Cheese/Ice Cream Factory.
Then the next weekend my mom and I drove had a mini road trip with my kids to Medford. It was her first time meeting Jim’s baby Link. We had a great quick trip just hanging out and babysitting so the new mom and dad could have a date night. Madilynn just loves babies and she was all over him the whole time we were there.
This week my husband is fighting strep throat and Madilynn has soccer and swim lessons now. Always busy in my house it seems. This weekend we are looking forward to Dad and Claudia coming down for the kids soccer games on Saturday. All I want for Mothers Day is to get a photo session done of my kids. I have a groupon for Sears portrait studios that I have been staring at for weeks. Time to cash that in!
