The weather lately has been unseasonably nice. This weekend it wasn't raining and after spending the morning de-cluttering the house, we needed to get out. We met up with Susan, Nancy and Mia for a walk on the Springwater Trail. Mia hung out (and slept) in her wagon while the boys rode their new scooters. It was much colder than we expected, but the boys didn't care. They were bundled up and moving and Morgan actually got pretty sweaty at one point.
On Sunday it was sunny out! We got a few things done around the house and then headed out to dig the bikes out of storage. We headed back to the Springwater Trail to ride bikes for the first time of the year. I am so excited that the boys are older this year and this first bike ride made me that much more excited for this summer.
Hopefully I will get my pictures off my phone soon so I can add some pictures.

Oregon Ducks are Rose Bowl Champions!
For the first time since 1917! We watched the game here at home. Mike is a Beavers fan and even wore his Beaver gear for this game. We had some fun with pictures during the game. :)

Happy 2012!!!
The last blog post I wrote was December of 2010 and it was simply stating that I needed to get this blog going again. Obviously, that didn't happen. So much is happening with the boys and us that I feel I really need to start blogging about it again. Even if it is just so I have somewhere to go back and look. So, here we go!
Mason is currently 5 and Morgan is 3. Mason is in kindergarten this year and handled the transition from staying home to going to school very well. Mike and I recently found ourselves in the situation that we needed to put the kids in daycare. They have never attended any sort of daycare. We chose a daycare center that allows Morgan to attend preschool and Mason attends their kindergarten program in the morning, then goes to kindergarten at his regular school. I love that he is now getting double the schooling.
Mike and I are both working full time. I work at an area hospital and Mike works for federal security firm in the area. Things are going well and we have adjusted quite nicely to being two full time working parents. Mike is still in the National Guard and has his monthly drill weekends. He has been presented with an opportunity to do some training with a foreign army in the coming months. He is looking forward to it and even though he will be missed at home, it is a wonderful opportunity that I wouldn't want him to miss out on.
So, that's what's happening with our family at the moment. I look forward to updating this blog more often. This year is looking to be a great one. We will have birthdays for the boys in March and April ( I can barely believe they will be 4 & 6) a trip to Disney in March and my 30th birthday in April. I'm sure 2012 will go as quickly as 2011 did, but we are looking to make every moment count. You only have one life, might as well have fun living it!
