Horsey Rides

Evan loves horsey rides and Jacob will amuse him from time to time when mom and dad are too tired to give another horsey ride.

Once you start giving Evan rides, he doesn't make it easy for you to stop.

Farmers Market

Nate and I have lived in Madison for 7 years now so I thought it was about time I brought him to the Farmers Market on the Square. I have only been to it a couple times myself.

Nate and Evan loved all the cheese and beef sticks. Well, Nate tried to eat his but Evan ended up taking it away from him. It makes me wonder where it all goes... we still find Evan without pants on because they fall of his little butt.

It was 10:30 when we got home and Jacob told me his legs were tired and that he had a fun day! I was very tempted to say OK, time for bed, but instead I informed him that the day had just started.

Half Marathon Complete!

I am very pleased to announce that Chad, Lisa, Nate and I completed the Madison Half Marathon on Sunday. Speaking personally, it was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but I am very proud to say I did it! We didn't escape without injuries, but the experience was worth it. If there ever is a next time I think I will be nicer to my body and spend a lot more time training. Right now healing is at the top of my list.

Thank you grandma and grandpa Bindl for tackling the boys for us!

Reading by the Fire

Tonight Jacob and Evan had a camp fire. They came up with this idea to build a fire and then read magazines by it. (Just in case you were confused the pile of toys/books is the fire.)

Simple Toys

Nate and I had some work to do outside today so we needed something to keep the boys busy. When we were up in MN last weekend my mom gave each of the boys a spray bottle and told them to go water the plants. So, I gave them the biggest bottles I could find and told them to go paint (a.k.a. spray) the rocks and wash the house. This kept them busy for most of the afternoon. Thanks for the good idea mom!

Go Big or Go Home!

Lately I feel like my life is made up of fun, happy moments with my kids or full blown tantrums, and whining. Not too much of the quiet in between stuff.

Anyone else feeling like this?
