We have never done a "fun" 5k before, but this year, we had some women that come to our fitness classes that wanted to run. So, we ventured out and of course had to make it fun. Our team name... Shoes N Chones. So... Dave ran in shoes and chones</div>

I loved it. It was a fun race and would love to run it again. We had been doing such long runs for the last few years that I was ready for a season of fun instead. This coming season we are set up for a half again and MAYBE I will finally get up the courage to run a full.... maybe.</div>

All done! This has always been my favorite room in the house and now I love it even more. I love the simplicity of it and I love that I can escape away and relax. It is my favorite place to read. And it is a haven for Haylee to practice her music. The room almost always stays clean and now it looks elegant as well!</div>

In September 2013, it became official. I officially got my teaching certificate in Arizona. I am working on my Masters in Early Childhood Education through Grand Canyon University. I am excited to have this new adventure. Working has been difficult and I have definately grown a lot this year, but it has been an adventure. I long for the day that I can stay home with my children again, but I am grateful for my understanding of our Heavenly Father and his plan in my life. I know it was time for me to go to work. I know that these children I am teaching need me. And I know that I am learning valuable life lessons about working with adults. This has been a good opportunity.</div>

In September, Trent also earned his Super Nova award. It is a very difficult award to earn in scouting. He had to perform several projects and do research. I have said before and I will say it again, I am thankful for the scouting program in our life. </div>

Soon after I started teaching full time, we discovered the need for two forms of transportation. Dave was going to school and working two jobs and then I was working full time and we couldn't work it out anymore. However, we also couldn't afford a new car. So, we bought a 300 cc scooter. Dave was a little nervous about it at first but he soon became comfortable on it. It drives fast enough for the freeway and he wears his protective gear.</div>

It has been a while since we have had friends. While Dave was gone, I was overwhelmed with taking care of the kids that I didn't venture out much. When Dave came home, that got a bit easier. So we hosted a Luau Murder Mystery night. It was so fun!</div>

Well I may not ever get my blog all caught up. But in the off chance that I have a moment to blog, I would like to document some of the most important. When the blog started in 2007, it was important to place every moment of the twin's life on here. I wanted all of my family to see them grow. As more of life has happened, I have enjoyed having this be a place where I could look back and remember "the good ole days". And here I am barely able to blog once every couple of months. But tonight as I pondered my children growing up, I felt it was important to blog some important events that really matter.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have an autoimmune thyroid disease. I have know for about 10 years and when I received the initial diagnosis, the doctor's suggestion was... come back every 3 months and wait for the antibodies to kill the thyroid. It is going to happen soon and then we can supplement for the rest of your life. Well... here I am 10 years later and it still hasn't happened. I recently went to a new doctor who recommended I go gluten free to reduce the antibodies. While I have read much about this concept over the last year, I was not a believer. However, I was desperate. Out of desperation, change is made. So for 3 weeks, I have been gluten free about 90% of the time (yes old habits are hard to change!) and I feel drastically better. Do I feel normal? No, but I feel better. So above is my portobello pizza!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Tender Mercies! I was one night feeling very overwhelmed by life and complaining to a friend. She provided me with some good advice. She said that real life isnt captured on instagram (which I do not use but the concept applies lol). Those are just the best moments. So the next night, I decided to set real life aside and do an improptu picnic with the kids. It was at 720 at night because that is what time I finally got home from work after a 12 hr day. And I captured my "instagram life". I was thankful for this tender mercy to recognize this for what it was. These children mean the world to me.</div>

This is a bittersweet year of CubScouting for us. We finally get to be freed of these events. Yet, these are the last moments of this time of life for Trent. Here he is after his very last Pinewood Derby.</div>

What is a blog post without a few pictures of sweet William. Here he is making his own breakfast and showing off his first real haircut! I cannot believe he is 2 and he is amazing. Everyday I look at him and think, Heavenly Father prepared you perfectly for this crazy life you would be born into. And because of that insight, I love William and our Heavenly Father even more.</div>

Just for fun... Dave turned 35! Woah we are getting old!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And another last... Trent received his Arrow of Light. His highest Cub Scout award marked by a lot of work and dedication to scouting. My testimony has grown of the scouting program and the bond that Trent and I have made out of the program. I cannot believe he is here. He has a few more months before moving onto Boy Scouts but he accomplished what he set out to do. Once in his life, scouting was the only place that he was able to receive positive recognition because everything else in his life was so hard for him. Scouting holds a special place in my heart and I can't believe he is moving on soon.</div>

I wish I had a picture of the final thing to report, but I do not. Anyway, Dave made it into Physical Therapy School! It has been a long process with many lessons from our Father in Heaven, but we are thankful. He starts in August and the time is going by so slowly! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the best days of our life. I can't wait to see what the future holds.</div>

Last April, my mom invited me to attend a health conference in Texas. It was amazing! I learned so much about thyroid health. I have been on somewhat of a natural diet exploration and learning as much as I can. This conference was the perfect chance to get a more medical and scientific information. I had my first taste of ionized water and while at first it was a little nasty. By the end of the 3 days, it was the sweetest and most amazing water ever! I really wish I could have an ionizer. While we were there, my mom won a VITAMIX! Go Mom! I doubt I can attend this year's conference, but it was amazing and I really wish I could have that opportunity again.</div>

I woke up this morning at 4 am to William crying, "mommy, eyes hurt". "Daddy, Daddy, eyes hurt". Dave brought him to bed and that was the end of my sleep. Instead of getting up and doing something productive, I wanted a day to feel normal again. A day where life wasn't overwhelmed by the next task that has to be done. So I took this time to sit down and enjoy what I have always loved doing. Looking at old pictures.</div>

Over the last two years, my blog posts have diminished and in the recent months, they are just nonexistent. I miss blogging. I miss reminiscing on the pictures as I post them. I miss the simplicity of life that existed when I used to blog. But, times change. Poor William will not be able to look at the blog and see his life documented. That is hard for me, but it is how life goes. <br />
<br />
Here we are. What has been going on? Why do I not have the pleasure of blogging? The story is long, but I will update the highlights. First to caveat the situation, think from my perspective as Dave had just spent 1 year in the middle east. He wanted to get out of the military and go back to the middle east. I fought with this choice, but in the end, the Lord told me it was right and I was willing to go with that. Dave was only home for 6 months before he left again for another 15 grueling months and we found out we were expecting William 2 weeks before he left. For the better part of 3 years, Dave was gone. Sometimes I feel as though we made a pivotal decision of faith some years ago and we continued to make the choices to keep going, not in perfect faith but with all that we had. During my weak moments of faith, I just look at the situation and think, "Well at this moment, I am in the middle of the deep, dark lake and I don't want to drown so I suppose we just keep going and hope it works out." And here we are, a couple years later. <br />
<br />
When Dave came back from the Middle East, he searched high and low for a job. We knew we were taking a risk by having him come back without a job. The Lord provided a way for him to come home and we took a leap, again. Thankfully he was able to get the GI Bill to help pay the bills a little but that meant he was back in school again. This was our plan C, but thankfully we had a plan C right? Oh years ago when his military paperwork was messed up and we were mad about his student loan repayment not working out and instead they took the much needed money for the GI Bill when he elected not to get that, we didn't feel so thankful. But come plan C, we were thankful. So he started back to school in exercise science. He ran into an amazing professor who offered him a volunteer position at a physical therapy clinic. This experience has been life changing for him. He just submitted his physical therapy school application!!! Anyway, back to the job hunt, still nothing came up. We survived for 6 months on the money we had saved and then 6 months into it, we ran out. What were we going to do? Yet somehow, the Lord continued to provide. Our bills (despite the lack of money) were always paid. <br />
<br />
One morning at church, one of the women brought me an envelop that had my first name on it. Inside was $19. No one knew where the money had come from. That envelop (which I swear I threw away) reappeared three times with money in it. It never had a lot. But it always had just that little bit that was needed. That is just one example of how the Lord blessed us during this time. <br />
<br />
About 6 months into our adventure, I decided to get my substitute certificate. We had no money and we needed some income. Oh that took forever. Yet 3 weeks before the end of the school year, I started subbing. I worked EVERY day. Then the summer hit. I was worried about what to do. And then Dave got a job! He started working as the men's basketball strength and conditioning coach at a local community college. The summer was rough. He didn't get as much from his GI Bill because of the school breaks. I wasn't able to work. And yet we survived. As the school year approached, I was set up with a long term sub position. And Dave took on two more teams! It was amazing how things evolved. And this is how my life changed...<br />
<br />
During the spring, I had started working on everything I needed to get my intern teaching license. It is a license that Arizona offers for people that have a degree and they want to teach, but they do not have a teaching degree. Well, every hold up possible was encountered and I didn't get everything set up until after the schools had hired who they needed. Oh well, Plan B... keep on subbing and try for next school year. I started subbing in an autistic classroom and I loved it. It was amazing. I was supposed to sub for 6 weeks and 2 weeks into it, I got a call from the kids' school that they would like me to come in for an interview. I had put in my sub application there but in doing so, I put on there that I am seeking a full time position. I come into the interview very unprepared thinking about my autistic children at school. And endured the HARDEST interview of my life. It was horrendous! I did not understand one bit why they were asking these outrageous questions! I was only coming in to sub. And then I was blindsided when he offered me a job teaching kindergarten. I will spare you all the night of fitful sleep as I pondered this choice and the mommy guilt I felt. And yet the Lord told me this was right. Two days later, I walked into a bare classroom with 29 beautiful smiles staring at me 3 weeks into the school year and no plan. It has been a fun ride.<br />
<br />
Dave recently went on a scouting campout. And while he was gone, I was able to glimpse the memory of those long years that he spent in the middle east. In July, we celebrated him being home for a whole year. He was home for EVERY holiday, birthday, anniversary and family function. This was the first time in 7 years that this was true. One of my greatest blessing through the last 15 months has been having Dave home. The stress of no job and not enough money was/is horrible. Yet, having him home has filled my life with love and blessings. My children have cherished this time. Tender mercies have dotted our lives. <br />
<br />
So you ask, what does that have to do with the blog? Well between our 5 beautiful children, my primary secretary calling, our group fitness/personal training side job, my kindergarten teaching job, and my masters degree in Early Childhood... my plate is over flowing. But... I have to say that I feel blessed, loved, and totally at peace.

So, we had created a "gym" in our house when we first started our personal training company. We come to find out that the ceiling is too short for that. In addition, we started group fitness classes and the room isn't big enough for more than a couple people. While Dave was in Iraq, we had bought the stuff to finish the garage. So Spring Break became the time to do that. Here is before.</div>

Oh my sweet Trent. Here he is ready for this year's Cubanapolis. The rules of his pack are they make a cardboard box that must be held. They have to wear a helmet, "goggles", and tie tennis shoes. Trent doesn't have tie tennis shoes so he had to wear Haylee's. </div>

We love Trent. We love how he works at scouts. We love his many leaders who work hard to make fun activities for the boys. Scouts is where Trent finds himself and I am thankful for that.</div>

It was a special day. Dave completed his first marathon. Here he is on the bus heading to the start line.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the start of the 10k location. I ran my first 10k. I have ran many races, but this was the first 10k.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think he looks pretty darn good for having just ran 26.2 miles!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RkWfa_nGaCE/UeRoWJHdLqI/AAAAAAAAHNI/_A-Cr8zTNpc/s1600/20130302_121113.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RkWfa_nGaCE/UeRoWJHdLqI/AAAAAAAAHNI/_A-Cr8zTNpc/s320/20130302_121113.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So I ran my race and then rush a few miles up the road to meet my sister in law (who had these three kids) and to see Dave at mile 18. However, Dave WAY overestimated his time and we missed him by 30 minutes! The kids had to get back to the race finish line for their 1k race, so we left. Unfortunately when we FINALLY got back to the finish line, it was time for the kids race... which HAPPENED to be when Dave was crossing the finish line. We missed him. I was in a panic wondering if he was ok and if he had finished. We saw people passing out and people falling over. I was so anxious. Thankfully once the children finished their race, we were able to re-enter the racers area and I found Dave! He is so behind the times and he doesn't run with anything... no phones, no music, no water. He does run with nourishment though.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
How did he do? Well this was his worst blister. He said he has no desire to run a marathon again given that it was "kind of a let down". He said he didn't feel like he accomplished anything special lol. He finished in 4 hr 56 min. He was AWESOME.</div>

Here is life in all of it's randomness. I am hoping to one day get caught up on here. I would love to blog on life now. I would love to outlet the joys and frustrations that so many of my friends post so elegantly. Yet, here I am stuck in the past. Wonder if that is a metaphor for my life right now? It totally is. But, on the plus side, here are some more fun pictures of the kids.</div>

Oh another round of pink eye. This past winter was a really bad one for us. We had changed our diets over the fall and I think that come winter, our bodies were just a bit overwhelmed with the changes from the fall. Or maybe it was just a bad winter. But someone was sick in our house from October until April. As luck would have it, we didn't have health insurance so we just had to fight it out. Thankfully, (if you can count this as thankful) Logan and Laycee get pink eye often enough that I had medicine for that. Each of the children missed about 7 days of school over the winter. It was horrible. BUT, we have had a very healthy summer! </div>
