Determination.

So Kendall and I ran a 5k on Saturday for our school. It was one of those things where you go into it not expecting much. We ended up going 25 minutes for it. Kendall is like the best running buddy ever! I'm so thankful for her! Anywhoo... because of her, I think I'm gonna sign myself up for a half-marathon! Go me.

I'm an AUNTIE!

My sweet sis, Kendall had her baby on Tuesday. I had the unique opportunity to peek my head in while she was giving birth. It was such an amazing experience. It was really amazing to see a beautiful little spirit be brought into this earth. He's so pure and perfect. It was life-changing for me. I have a new perspective on motherhood and what it takes to get those little spirits here. I'm so grateful for Kendall and her caring nature and her kindness. She'll make a great mommy! And... Austin is the CUTEST baby I've ever seen! I'm not just saying that because he's my new nephew. He's Beautiful! I have rarely seen cuter babies! I'm so happy to have him in our family and I'm so excited to see him grow up by such great parents!!! Love You Greiner Family!

5 good things about TODAY

1. I slept good last night and woke up excited for the day!

2. My husband got up with me. That started my day even better.

3. At school, my students were awesome. They are great anyway-but today was a good day.

4. We had a class Easter party. My room mom is amazing and makes the most fun stuff for the kids.

5. I get to go work out. Being done swimming makes me want to always swim. It's a weird feeling.

The end.

St. George

This weekend, we got to head down to BEAUTIFUL St. George. I really needed to get away, so it was a nice break from life. We stayed at Logan's sweet grandparents home. We were able to go to Zions National Park and go for a fun hike up to Emerald Pools and also hiked the Grotto. It was so nice to see the beautiful mountains and nature around. We were able to swim, bike, and longboard back at the grandparents house too. It was just a nice break.

DEMO DAY

On Saturday, I convinced my sisters-Kate and Candice to come skiing with Logan and I. They went to Park's and got rentals and we headed up to Sundance. We skied for a while and they both did AMAZING for their first time going. I was very impressed. After a few runs, I realized it was demo day and could try whatever pairs of ski's I wanted! I was in HEAVEN!

Kate and Candice stayed for a while, and then decided they were done so they went home. Chance, Logan's bro came up and skied with us too. We were going crazy.

Slushy snow+good company+2012 powder skis=pretty freaking good day.

So if anyone ever feels inclined to buy me some ski's, you can choose between the following:

Beautiful.

Your hair is everywhere...

So this fella... PJ is about the hairiest animal around. We've had him for a year and love him to death! Logan's parent's dog, Lu had puppies and PJ is her offspring. He is an english setter and loves to chase the birds.. or golf balls.. or frisbees... or shoes... whatever. He is also very large
(75 pounds) and LOVES to cuddle.

PJ is a pretty loveable dog. Too bad he slobbers everywhere AND he's already a daddy! (At age 1.. That may or may not make him the youngest papa around.) PJ likes to visit my parents house for his playtime with their dogs. Forgetting that Princess, my parent's brittany spaniel isn't fixed, PJ went to town and I'm sure ACCIDENTALLY impregnated her. Cute puppies though. Not one of them looks like their mama.. therefore not being able to hide the evidence that our dog was the culprit. Don't worry. If you see spotted puppies around the neighborhood, he's probably just fulfilling his creation here on earth. Just kidding. We're getting him fixed next month.



This pup makes our house pretty dang hairy as well. Vacuuming once a day isn't always enough. I have a love-hate relationship with him for that very reason. Too bad we don't have a big backyard to keep him outside ALL the time. BUT.. he makes us laugh and is pretty much the greatest dog around!
