Best cooker

Logan has been awarded the title of best cooker in the whole world by Grandpa. He has been faithfully wearing his medal of honor since last Saturday. Here is a video of the proud winner

Grandma Ola's memorial trip

We travelled back to OR to attend the memorial services for Fred's Grandma Ola. All of Fred's family was there.

A shot of the Leisher grandparents and their brood...



Kids playing/gardening



Newport obligatory bridge pic



Playing on the beach - we came back with a lot of shells. Logan and Ethan were having their picture taken and no one saw the wave that came and knocked them over giving them a quick swim in the cold Pacific











We also stopped in Eddyville to visit Fred's great-grandma and grandpa's grave sites

One for the record books

Our schedules have been all messed up since our travels and the time change...at least, that is my excuse for this



Check out this post for the time that Luke zonked-out

Miscellaneous

because every so often you just need a post called this

The first one is Logan sporting his ladybug hat. We made it together at storytime and he wore it for hours.



The second one is also Logan sporting something, in this case, it is his new shark bathrobe. Luke got a pirate one and Leyla got flamingos but I have not captured them as of yet



The next one is a picture of the bunkbeds that Fred made for Luke and Logan



The boys doing some reading



That's the update for now

Cupid's Chase 5k

Well, I am in process of training for a half-marathon. I don't know what I was thinking but I am committed at this point and part of it was running a 5k practice race. So, despite a stomach bug, we headed to ABQ for a race. Here is the story in pics as taken by Fred.

Warm-up



Off I go



Finished



It ended up being over 5k by about .7 miles but I was gld I did it. It looks like maybe I won it being the only one in the picture and all, but, alas, I did not win. We left right after I came in; we had a busy day ahead...because of this, Lukey asked me, "Why did you come in last Mommy?" I explained to him that although it looked like I was last (he had been watching all the people who came in before me) I was not and there were LOTS of people behind Mommy. My little cheerleaders are the best part of the finish. Stay tuned, hopefully, for the goal race in April.
