Clean out the clutter

Today is a day where I am cleaning out the clutter (well right now I'm taking a break). A friend of ours is having a yard sale and let us know that if we had anything we wanted to sell we could at their yardsale coming up in a couple of weeks. So this got me excited to actually find stuff to sell and get rid of. Last night Scott and I tackled our room and filled up a laundry basket full of clothes we never wear that were just sitting in our drawers and closet. Today I'm going through the boys room sneaking out toys to get rid of that they never play with or never will. Though Keegan did see the colorful plastic of a toy barn that never gets played with sticking out of the trash can and brought it back to me. Which led to Kaiden going over to the trash can picking out every broken toy I threw away saying that he loved and played with them all and why was mommy throwing them away. It's funny how hard it is for us to throw stuff away, to clear out the clutter. Sometimes I even give things a third or fourth look before I actually decide to get rid of it though I haven't used it in years. So here is a good thought for me and for all of us today as I'm cleaning God tells us not to hold on to material things for our treasures are stored in heaven. Now back to cleaning!

three's a charm

As you can see I haven't updated our blog in a while. With the days getting warmer we have been busy outside. The summer is our favorite time as we love to be outside and at the beach. We've had the chance to go to the beach already at the end of April beginning of May already with some good friends of ours The Pashkins:) It was so warm the last couple of weeks that I already got a head start on the summer tan that turned into a peeling today. Summer also brings me closer to my marathon which is 6 months away. So the days Scott works I'm stuck training inside on the treadmill which is not really fun at all. So a couple times latley since Scott's been at work I've been lugging all three boys 6 miles on our bikepath in a double jogger stroller. It's pretty intense. The boys are funny and keep me company on our runs. We looks for bears and tigers and we pretend that we are a sled dog team and a bunch of huskies are pulling us. Little do they know mama is the sled dog. So I've come to the conclusion today that running outside with the boys is fun and that we should start saving for a triple jogging stoller to get us through the summer. I figure it will go a long way through Keane and the next kiddos as well. Here's a little look of what I'm talking about.

And no the happy running family is not us...yet..but soon to be.
