The Racewalker

Last week I was working out on the treadmill, and an old man got onto the machine next to me and he started talking to me. I had my earbuds in, so I couldn't hear him. So, I took them out and He goes, "Are you a race walker?" My reply was of course, "No, I'm not."
"You have the best race-walking form of anyone I've ever seen! I have been coming to the gym for years and I have never seen anyone have as good a form as you do!" (Honestly, I was like, is this guy for real?!) He went on to tell me that he is 72 years old and he used to be a race walking coach and he's never seen anyone have such a natural ability to race walk. LOL As you can imagine, I was dying laughing inside! He ended with telling me that he would really encourage me to pursue learning the technique more fully and to start racing. Sadly, he told me that the only races that are in the state of Washington are held in Seattle... DARN! After he left, the man on the machine to my left goes, "Remember your friends when you make your first million!" And it was President MacFarlane!  (For my friends living outside of Spokane, he used to be my Stake President! LOL)

Mother Nature's mean April Fool's Trick

It snowed all day yesterday and then this is what we woke up to this morning... (the snow had melted a couple inches by the time I took these pictures...)  

Future UFC Contender?

Hudson got 'kicked out' of the gym's Kid Zone today (for the day)... not necessarily blog worthy, but what he said about it IS!

We got in the car and I go "Who was a stinker at the gym today?"  He wouldn't make eye contact with me when I turned around to look at him.  So, I turned around and he goes, "Not me!" and then smiled.  LOL  He is such a little stink!  I am REALLY hoping this is just a brief 'phase' he is going through.  Maybe it has something to do with being the 3rd child???

(This is Hudson's "I got caught doing something wrong" face.)  LOL

Night Skiing

My dad and I took Logan and Hailey night skiing last Friday.  It was a blast!  The kids are so fun to ski with!   Hailey can ski without the harness now, so it's very exciting!  In the video, she kept stopping because she was wondering what I was doing.  Logan can go alot faster than he did when I took the video, but he was being a little camera shy.  LOL

What the heck would you do in a situation like that?

What happens when mom and all the kids are sick?  Daddy brings home a Wii.  

Rob and I swore we would never have video games in our home.... but that was before we found out how fun a Wii is.  Seriously, it is so fun and addicting!   Don't you just love family bonding time?

Tip: Don't stand in front of the other person when you're boxing...
