our week.

we've had a few things this week so i figured i'd share.


we bought ourselves a set a bikes last weekend to attempt to find a "hobby" that we could do together and maybe get into shape in the process. {ignore the messy garage, we're still in the midst of projects when our garage temp isn't 165 degrees} we've been riding a bit each night and so far it's kind of fun. thursday morning ryan didn't have to work and i didn't have to be in until 930 so we got up at 7am and started the coffee {so it would be ready when we returned}, filled the waterbottles, and headed out. we rode to my parents and back which is over 3 miles one way so i round up and say we rode 8 miles. {exaggeration is an art that i, personally, have perfected}



thurs, july 3rd was ozzie's birthday, so we headed down to hanford after work for some BBQ and gynormous cupcakes! here's a picture of kate and oz {can you see her baby bump?} we can't wai to meet our nephew in November!
for saturday the fourth, we had our friends candi and jeff over for a BBQ and then we headed with my whole family to the fireworks show in reedley. my 93 year old uncle and his brothers started the show 50 years ago and he's the only brother left. he still puts the show together and supervises the process, he just doesn't actually light them anymore!

it was a great show and we got a picture with the star after the show! we had a wonderful fourth with family and friends. i only enjoy watching fireworks in the stands cause i'm a little afraid of fire.

Looks like fun! I was disappointed with our fireworks this year...could be that I was chasing after four kids, though! ;)

That black platter with "Abide" is chalkboard paint and chalk so I can change the message! I love it!

Thanks for visiting my blog!

That's awesome. I have just been doing 6.5 miles for the last three days. ha. We don't have the best place to ride, there are lots of hills near my house.. so it is killing me. But sticking to it so far.

I totally agree on the food issue. It does cost a lot more to do things right and longer. With 3 kids it's so hard.. but we are trying.

Making progress. ha!!

Thanks for sharing!!!!

being new home owners there are always "projects" to be done. the past few weekends as the weather has been getting nicer those projects have been outdoors. ryan usually digging, planting, pulling, weeding, mowing or sweeping and me... well, i photograph it all. it's the part i enjoy. and this last weekend as i felt i should get dirty and dig a little he consistently asked me " you want me to do that?" so i'm guessing i either looked way out of my element or i wasn't doing it "right". i'll stick to the photographs or maybe i'll sleep in next time. :) i enjoy my role. our herbs are begining to sprout this week. we're still debating on the garden. we were all go this weekend and then stopped to figure out how to get rid of the grass that is where we want the garden. when we couldn't come up with a "simple solution" we opted out of the garden and bought flowers for the front yard. now i think we have a solution so we migh

Tales From the Gym

That's one weird blog title, so let me fill you in... I started the Couch to 5K running program awhile back, remember? Well, I sucked at it. I can't run. It worked me to death and it never got easier. The whole push yourself each time and it will get easier and then you'll increase your running increments until you build up your stamina... yea none of that happened. I did week one like 8 times and I still wanted to die. The thought of increasing my running time made me want to stab myself in my eye. Not to mention that I'm apparently some sort of 29 year old going on 60 because OH.MY.JOINTS! My hips, my knees & my ankles cursed me daily. I loved the way I felt when I was done, but it was the getting there that just about killed me. So one day we didn't run and you know how that goes... one day turned into two months and then it wasn't spoke of again. Hubs and I had to sit down and have a heart to heart one day about getting into shape. We both needed it BAD.
