Indiana June 2015

Another summer trip to Indiana.  Love, love, love to be back home. Wish we could stay two months and not just two weeks.

June 2015. Well...once you ride 100 miles anything less doesn't feel so challenging, so I went for it again this year.  I have loved setting this goal and riding this ride for the past several years.  Busting my butt and crossing the finish line feels awesome!

Love the starting line energy

7.5 hours later...ugh

Survived

Girls Day

Iris and I enjoyed a girls day in August.  We started with the hot air balloon festival, followed by breakfast, manicures, haircuts, then ear piercing!  It was completely her idea and she was so brave...no flinch, no tears, just a big smile when she saw them sparkle in the mirror.  We even found a very appropriately named piercing studio.

Fancy fingers

All done!

Day home with Miles

Having a day home with some one on one kid time is pretty cool.

Blue eyes

The giggle makes me happy

Probably funny only to me

 

Aunt Jen's visit in May

Jen came to town in May.  That way she managed to dodge the snow but was still lucky enough to get to play Laser Tag at Miles' birthday party :)  Love you sister!

Taken at 1:00AM. I was too excited to go to sleep!

Manis for the girls

Back seat shenanigans

2014...where did you go?! Christmas

Christmas is a fun time with the kids.  Christmas tree fun, cookie decorating and our first trip to see the lights at Temple Square.

Getting into the spirit

2014...where did you go?! Indiana

A few shots from our summer trip to Indiana. Lots of family time, a trip into Chicago, some beach fun, etc.

Hurray for cousins (plus a neighbor kid in purple)

Get him!

So fun to mess around at The Bean
