<br />Went to an appt this morning, then spent this afternoon at a BABY SHOWER! My good HS friends Suzy and David are having thier FIRST baby and her Mom was holding a shower. So fun to hang out and visit and eat and eat - her sis in law Dominique made the cutest shower cake with diapers and baby goodies - including this CUTE giraffe topper!

<br />
<br />I have made it a self goal to walk/jog at least once a day, even if it's only for 15 min I am going out and getting it done. AM or PM around the block out the country roads or in the neighborhood. Just go.
<br />
<br />This week has been one funny day after another on the trail.
<br />
<br />One evening while out walking I came across a couple small boys out riding bikes, the older one nudging on the younger to jump and skid and go faster... recipe for disaster. They were maybe 10 and 7 yrs old? I watched as the younger one skidded out sideways and took the majority of the crash on his tooshie! Poor kid! He tried to go fast, jump and turn on a speed bump in the school parking lot and took it hard. I jogged over and asked if he was ok and the older boy had that 'uh oh I am in trouble' look! LOL After calming the little guy down and convicing him he was not going to bleed to death from the elbow (which was MINOR compared to his leg and hip) and reassuring myself he hadn't hit his head or face they promised me they could get home and clean up ok. Ahhh Dr Darla done good!
<br />A bit later in my walk n jog I encountered a stray dog. UGH! He followed me a couple of blocks, mostly breathing heavy and grumbly growling. He was not agressive but he was nipping a little, I think he wanted to play but still I hate that. One guy in his yard asked if he was mine bc he should be on a leash???!!!! Uhhh no dude, he should be IN A YARD thank you. I keep my dogs inside and in the yard. Always! Makes me so angry.
<br />OK that was one day!
<br />The next day I went for a short n sweet evening walk with my youngest son Micheal. It was getting dark and he was 'scared' bc of a scary movie he heard about last week. LOL Dork! We cut through the JHS track field and the sprinklers caught us by suprize - nice - cooled us off and soaked us wet then we had to manuever the mud puddles from the sprinkers on the other side of the fields! LOL We made it home narely scratched but a little soggy!
<br />Today.
<br />So my jogging has been weak. VERY weak. Nearly nothing really. So this morning I had time to go for a longer walk/jog and as I went through the High School parking lot I see the xcountry track kids warming up and feel inspired to do a little run. I actually waited till' I was well past them to take off and about 15 feet into it I notice the cheerleaders are practicing on the school front lawn - I have my music going feet a pounding and my eyes NOT on the road. KEY point there. I was NOT watching where I was running and instead watching the cheerleaders and I tripped!!!! I swear to you I was bouncing back up before I even hit the ground! I fell so hard I jammed my toe and threw my earphones outta my ears LOL It was so humiliating - I seriously don't think my hands even hit the ground?! All I know is that I am/was so embarrased but it gets better!
<br />So a while later, as I am 'recovering' with a little swagger in my walk I pass by a few more kids coming or going from xcountry track - one of my kids friends approaches me and asks if I am ok?! UGH! LOL Yes, I am ok, my esteem is BEATEN TO A PULP! Dang kids DID see me trip and fall! FREAK!!!!!! I chuckeled at my own expense and agreed that yes I was fine and walked away with drip sweating down my back and my face beet beet red from the heat, the workout and the embarrasment! O M Gosh!
<br />so
<br />I am contemplating an evening stroll tonight but thinking I might need to take a rubber suit and a camera cuz' you just never know!!!!!!!!!!!!! crazydarlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415788503448699698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17871509.post-36713590119374879242011-08-09T21:05:00.000-07:002011-08-09T21:08:45.048-07:00lots to say not much time to say itit is past my bedtime and although i have a lot to share i want to go to bed so here is the condensed version...
<br />
<br />
<br />went for a 2 mi walk tonight, felt great, wanted to run a little but Micheal was with me on his bike and somehow I was intimidated by my 10 yr old being with me? hm?
<br />
<br />tiff got her heart broken yet again - dumb boys! UGH!
<br />
<br />teenagers are making me nuts - all play no work makes for happy teens and miserable moms
<br />
<br />Ed is SO CLOSE to graduating - WOOT
<br />
<br />dogs are getting a grooming from a family friend tomorrow - excited!
<br />
<br />i found a 5k race online that has obsacles and water and bubbles and things -looks so fun but WAY too hard for me - boo hoo
<br />
<br />garden is thriving -- ready to start harvesting I am so excitedcrazydarlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415788503448699698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17871509.post-29091705829918942302011-07-31T19:11:00.001-07:002011-07-31T19:52:58.515-07:00My Mom always said, if at first you don't sucseed try try again!OK so I spent a good 45 min last night downloading pix and then blogging them all - and it didn't save! UGH So here is attempt #2! <br /><br />I am obsessed with my yard and garden this year (the inside of the house will tell the true tale) and thankfully Chris (my oldest son) has been my right hand farmer hand! LOL So here is the latest and greatest tales of the yard makeover, flowers and garden!! <br /><br />So here you see Chris, telling me not to take his pix while working out back he hee! Over his head you will see behind the fence the neighbors freaking AWESOME holly hock flowers! They are beautiful! We awe and oogle over his yard, peaking and sneaking through the fence - peering over, poking our noses through the cracks. He is quite the gardener - however - he is older and somewhat 'weathered' as in his skin is like tanned leather and he has a habit of working out back half naked!!!!! The family joke is "Mom, your boyfriend is working out back" and the first person to look is CHRISTOPHER! LOL He keeps us inspired to say the least!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiSWOI5v3f8CDMJDp9GD3_ZPoX2Q6ZGVoVtZd1kA7UIubnmdIi_Ia9FYzX6CApYCmO6X_GSre_zElxjSUdrQEpTlbWeiHW2pUQIRDcZkCCMdHWGaT1ZVeveUWTihyphenhyphenCoUFWPo8z/s1600/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+069.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiSWOI5v3f8CDMJDp9GD3_ZPoX2Q6ZGVoVtZd1kA7UIubnmdIi_Ia9FYzX6CApYCmO6X_GSre_zElxjSUdrQEpTlbWeiHW2pUQIRDcZkCCMdHWGaT1ZVeveUWTihyphenhyphenCoUFWPo8z/s400/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+069.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635711410194596418" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKcAJbCtOcod4WuIRKNAuqKk6PmNc_Rc-FlrbEku7xy1qBZgseTHPs2rD2PBRhbiBj3vzVHhUN_Jnb6ZMRfUZn-T9AZC-zMEK0hmAYmqsUmNVPi9qWDJbKxplNIPFVsna2SZgL/s1600/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+071.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKcAJbCtOcod4WuIRKNAuqKk6PmNc_Rc-FlrbEku7xy1qBZgseTHPs2rD2PBRhbiBj3vzVHhUN_Jnb6ZMRfUZn-T9AZC-zMEK0hmAYmqsUmNVPi9qWDJbKxplNIPFVsna2SZgL/s400/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+071.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635711009075963426" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8YaRZpwjGOtijnxu-EGGsQKQafN41mWD99_nvqBIGIWWqpBWDe931uk2OmtbuMMYiMTDxhXTC4Q-YQLHXtz0zUDFth9Tw6s4qUHs_yKlBIGir_6So4HnQddpSWTyAz_M_W1_6/s1600/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+063.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8YaRZpwjGOtijnxu-EGGsQKQafN41mWD99_nvqBIGIWWqpBWDe931uk2OmtbuMMYiMTDxhXTC4Q-YQLHXtz0zUDFth9Tw6s4qUHs_yKlBIGir_6So4HnQddpSWTyAz_M_W1_6/s320/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+063.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635710655335161154" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPGotkiCxa7bV5Bb7CyAzO4EjfEfNCen236BiK5aW_FoPPJE21b1b4cjRXziP9cUuYikOd7adEd0IRxYbHSx_-ghAtyMHERmFIlO6aeqqUwCN38EE8MtRpQ-8LaBJuXSPEkk2X/s1600/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+062.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPGotkiCxa7bV5Bb7CyAzO4EjfEfNCen236BiK5aW_FoPPJE21b1b4cjRXziP9cUuYikOd7adEd0IRxYbHSx_-ghAtyMHERmFIlO6aeqqUwCN38EE8MtRpQ-8LaBJuXSPEkk2X/s200/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+062.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635710187463491618" /></a><br /><br />Here is a veiw around the tree of the 'whole' garden, the tree is great, gives an appropriate amount of shade out back and over the garden but is always dropping lil' leaves in everything!

I LOVE the orange lily's that are poking up and the yellow cosmos we planted just popped up all over! The baby pink rose bush out front is about done, the petals are falling off fast but the light and bright pink blossoms are pretty and then I have my pots out by the front steps with TONS of petunias - pink, purple, white ane RED - I have never had such BRIGHT RED petunias! Lastly, the lil' purple flowers that Den got me for Mother's day - no idea WhAt? it is but it keeps reblooming and I ove the color purple so I am tickled with it!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAwLnOc0N_miPxQsfqgLViYDhWQNnSgIH6uEtrdUEnwQ1sf2xufdqKAc8qTdGaViVlH1zUd4BkkJtMA9hSDlSMgYfbRqw59KsZ2Duqa1JU9QN1q5gyJ2qyvBkAhSSnsbCDDpZ/s1600/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+024.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWAwLnOc0N_miPxQsfqgLViYDhWQNnSgIH6uEtrdUEnwQ1sf2xufdqKAc8qTdGaViVlH1zUd4BkkJtMA9hSDlSMgYfbRqw59KsZ2Duqa1JU9QN1q5gyJ2qyvBkAhSSnsbCDDpZ/s400/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+024.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635706216539257074" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX2CYOGRq9Nd0vULSduO3s-KPhLsUtYNSfsa2PK6wHi_eexHFuOcHPj2_V7-hVCubhyZkoARx2gz6FNbB1fm2kdSRKJnkhJSnNm_4DA6S0nxNifo9aDsh9L2Dnn97I0fD1kIm5/s1600/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+023.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX2CYOGRq9Nd0vULSduO3s-KPhLsUtYNSfsa2PK6wHi_eexHFuOcHPj2_V7-hVCubhyZkoARx2gz6FNbB1fm2kdSRKJnkhJSnNm_4DA6S0nxNifo9aDsh9L2Dnn97I0fD1kIm5/s200/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+023.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635705935941231042" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvHovXuTxQpRwJB8yIzA3HgAYKcutSbQnomu_5qLVKklDoE_coB9yPIAZPrcSJxXXEUtlV8Oa63ZyQlboYjiGcSrIvSrDVmXDWty6VgYDkHAYaLUC-D8HVJqq_wcPN7_f3hzxu/s1600/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+025.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvHovXuTxQpRwJB8yIzA3HgAYKcutSbQnomu_5qLVKklDoE_coB9yPIAZPrcSJxXXEUtlV8Oa63ZyQlboYjiGcSrIvSrDVmXDWty6VgYDkHAYaLUC-D8HVJqq_wcPN7_f3hzxu/s400/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+025.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635705670996033170" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-Eyw0V0P-gCSRqHEdumsbjWTEPYIapiHcII4rUrHd3PEv64H-4YlHdF5SSGdQLB1Y0_dLBzXxNz7twUimV9Y_AjAWXA142IUrOqTu-WbMMY7RVc7d2uSEFmTsCqOJH0ZQJqW/s1600/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+016.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-Eyw0V0P-gCSRqHEdumsbjWTEPYIapiHcII4rUrHd3PEv64H-4YlHdF5SSGdQLB1Y0_dLBzXxNz7twUimV9Y_AjAWXA142IUrOqTu-WbMMY7RVc7d2uSEFmTsCqOJH0ZQJqW/s320/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+016.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635705386130513346" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoxqJpyUGKzbXG_P6iiLge983zOfz1eQVkufVSY-uuoCE29xiGQUbK1Fq89WBRdAVI63PKUloGaFk9LufiKQG5-c9a6CSq8F4QUFAaJnqfUSBtkEq5oXdcL4OCNvPMV2ExAnc6/s1600/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoxqJpyUGKzbXG_P6iiLge983zOfz1eQVkufVSY-uuoCE29xiGQUbK1Fq89WBRdAVI63PKUloGaFk9LufiKQG5-c9a6CSq8F4QUFAaJnqfUSBtkEq5oXdcL4OCNvPMV2ExAnc6/s320/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635705034767301826" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaeNaa44hKG2ywtVOdMakiOuPiQfdGCHoTlMpWs4UNiOIySL204sAcgSpyFD3YB1CD0CsArhyphenhyphenIcPkYPNx6MpGfZuoZSv_fFwZuxM3UuIcqCp9VrYMX148NuMI1MB3xfYFuWGNH/s1600/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+003.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaeNaa44hKG2ywtVOdMakiOuPiQfdGCHoTlMpWs4UNiOIySL204sAcgSpyFD3YB1CD0CsArhyphenhyphenIcPkYPNx6MpGfZuoZSv_fFwZuxM3UuIcqCp9VrYMX148NuMI1MB3xfYFuWGNH/s200/Yard+and+Garden+Junly+30+2011+003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635704735999295218" /></a><br /><br /><br />There ya have it!

Tiff spent 2 weeks in Boise <br />with Ed's other sister and fam ... Chris has been looking <br />for work and FINALLY found a great job at Smiths' Food <br />learning to become a butcher! Awesome! Lil' Micheal runs<br />and runs, bikes and toys and all that - Ed and I have just<br />been working - we did get a weekend campout a few weeks ago<br />with my work for Farmers but overall not a big fun summer<br />for Ed and I... but the time seems to slip away? <br /><br />I feel like <em>I cannot catch up on the house and laundry </em>no <br />matter what. I feel like I struggle to squish in workout times. <br />I have gained so much weight and I feel like poo about myself. I know<br />I can do better than this - <strong>I KNOW I CAN!</strong>Just a lot of frustration but the reality is time management on<br />my part. The yardwork has been priority (for me) and Chris and I<br />are growing an awesome lil' garden which seems to take up time too.<br />There are always excuses. Always something. My friend Blake says:<br />"Excuses are like a-holes, we all have them and they are all full of shit"<br /><br />He is right. I am the queen of excuses, especially with time management.<br /><br />I make lists and to do lists and time planners. I give the kids lists. <br />I plan out my days off hour by hour. Never get it all done. I told Ed the <br />other day I dissapoint myself by <em>NOT</em> crossing off my lists. I may fill the<br />days too full or set too high expectations? I don't know but I am NOT fufulling<br />my personal expectations. <br /><br />Reality is, no matter how BUSY I am I can't seem to get my ducks <br />in a row. There is a good 12-14 hours a day to complete all I need <br />to do - I luckily only work part time so 6 hours a day - yet I cannot<br />manage to squish everything in that I want and need to do. I have taken<br />my day off (Wed each week) the past two weeks to go play at Rigby Lake<br />with our friends. Weekends are full of go go going and work work working <br />to catch up on everything so I don't get much "fun" and I also feel <br />like Micheal gets the bump all week so I enjoy taking him to the lake to play!<br /><br />So, I am home sick today (tummy is yuck!!) and I am re-evaluating what I <br />do with my time. I need to 'schedule' myself so much better. I need to <br />balance family time and work and home and chores and personal and health and <br />relationships and my marriage and my friends and my BLOG and my hobbies and all the things<br />I "want" to do. <br /><br />Reality is, 12-14 hours a day I SHOULD be able to do it all?<br /><br />Shouldn't I?crazydarlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415788503448699698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17871509.post-62062531785311959932011-06-27T17:44:00.000-07:002011-06-27T18:07:32.454-07:00More Yard Stuff....So who knew I loved the yard so much?

It is SO MUCH WORK! Thankfully Chris and Micheal have been helping. The grass is greening up for me, the beds are clearing out and cleaning up. Some flowers are blooming and I am digging through everything and getting it in order. A little each weekend and then some on my days off. I will admit, the INSIDE of the house is neglected now! LOL <br />So, I worked through this side bed, it is sort of a modpodge of things, there are a couple of rasp plants in there, I dont' know why? but they are so I left them. I transplanted some bishops weed (ground cover) and hope they will take and spread. We also started a little decorative rock garden in one end too.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp7jnpFOWigdEAM2j1BOf_VzsFUScYjRawETe1x0cWsq-rBDhPZQiJc7WrPBB4yo6dRIA_4lGiJI7s29fKTcxZV0h23IDwTmtDfcYYo0WT0bVkFveAL_Iq5o_zVxGoki5zO4ko/s1600/June+2011+Chris+20th+Backyard++Cooking+Gardening+Tiff+Prom+IF+Sh+119.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp7jnpFOWigdEAM2j1BOf_VzsFUScYjRawETe1x0cWsq-rBDhPZQiJc7WrPBB4yo6dRIA_4lGiJI7s29fKTcxZV0h23IDwTmtDfcYYo0WT0bVkFveAL_Iq5o_zVxGoki5zO4ko/s320/June+2011+Chris+20th+Backyard++Cooking+Gardening+Tiff+Prom+IF+Sh+119.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622013218124540738" /></a><br />Then there are the rasp starts Chris got from his friends grandparents that we transplanted - I think most are taking, but a couple died.

Dani and Daddy fixed them a beautiful dinner and Dani helped her with her hair (which was amazing) and they had a great date. It amazes me how fast they are growing up -- and how beautiful my daughters are! What a night!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoB1xxsRKLPlFSo9Ai-BpSlq4T3kFNTbp0jR_FTFzTlslp2ExsXIFRlT30yWzMyVDONTaFXQV_nOLlxBi12kSaHLNBAo6w4v2h_ooYK4vLJ-iyWr5IWNFWjyOVgur51-Bc-D8o/s1600/Backyard++IF+Shootout++Tiff+Formal+May+2011+Tiff+ERJHS+Awards+064.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoB1xxsRKLPlFSo9Ai-BpSlq4T3kFNTbp0jR_FTFzTlslp2ExsXIFRlT30yWzMyVDONTaFXQV_nOLlxBi12kSaHLNBAo6w4v2h_ooYK4vLJ-iyWr5IWNFWjyOVgur51-Bc-D8o/s400/Backyard++IF+Shootout++Tiff+Formal+May+2011+Tiff+ERJHS+Awards+064.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621955843589055058" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZskF4od6fvqsh7Sw_WIam24sPYnlP4ezvyxcSaNXvEVSB8e9Bwy2g5haNCCUH0pgQ47yoe6bVmhNQbsAno1u_JFK0ilfJJSGYa11bmTPklrX8uJn4RZ3I3kMr01-6hdQiUAFT/s1600/Backyard++IF+Shootout++Tiff+Formal+May+2011+Tiff+ERJHS+Awards+052.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZskF4od6fvqsh7Sw_WIam24sPYnlP4ezvyxcSaNXvEVSB8e9Bwy2g5haNCCUH0pgQ47yoe6bVmhNQbsAno1u_JFK0ilfJJSGYa11bmTPklrX8uJn4RZ3I3kMr01-6hdQiUAFT/s400/Backyard++IF+Shootout++Tiff+Formal+May+2011+Tiff+ERJHS+Awards+052.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621955560399072226" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw0mCY9oheluO_SvPyInPbxQkoxO0u5tmrhoQ0Qy8YES_QsMyrtapVrQIdkLjBRZVWnnvL3Zr1HUiJAY2IO7RUonSOGG-R7c0mOJnSf85kx7RCIOW99AB0xHyWsQYW9Sjg_wOb/s1600/Backyard++IF+Shootout++Tiff+Formal+May+2011+Tiff+ERJHS+Awards+059.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw0mCY9oheluO_SvPyInPbxQkoxO0u5tmrhoQ0Qy8YES_QsMyrtapVrQIdkLjBRZVWnnvL3Zr1HUiJAY2IO7RUonSOGG-R7c0mOJnSf85kx7RCIOW99AB0xHyWsQYW9Sjg_wOb/s400/Backyard++IF+Shootout++Tiff+Formal+May+2011+Tiff+ERJHS+Awards+059.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621955294682519570" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4RP1uthDYVpR-1NriI7Q6RsCn4B4L69NszTk6Up0acbO61OsqGQEwEOU9NaIr93fzSUBjoYVdaNpkMD5zHHh30J8kEt-nmp2xj53-8yo9UEZ10O6QpdRZfx9-J2HkYTCMq6h8/s1600/Backyard++IF+Shootout++Tiff+Formal+May+2011+Tiff+ERJHS+Awards+074.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4RP1uthDYVpR-1NriI7Q6RsCn4B4L69NszTk6Up0acbO61OsqGQEwEOU9NaIr93fzSUBjoYVdaNpkMD5zHHh30J8kEt-nmp2xj53-8yo9UEZ10O6QpdRZfx9-J2HkYTCMq6h8/s320/Backyard++IF+Shootout++Tiff+Formal+May+2011+Tiff+ERJHS+Awards+074.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621955051554492178" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnoWa3j43Vy3wE2UX2qI1Ep_W64UWaDnAqEa2C28ZHGbm4gLaShPZWRjTmfmFWtF36UrFn54FMZ2q9fqgxUsoK5dKbWuykyUZb6S5CqJ95bhLiTi8av46_H29ceHWMAjUN8VlI/s1600/Backyard++IF+Shootout++Tiff+Formal+May+2011+Tiff+ERJHS+Awards+077.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnoWa3j43Vy3wE2UX2qI1Ep_W64UWaDnAqEa2C28ZHGbm4gLaShPZWRjTmfmFWtF36UrFn54FMZ2q9fqgxUsoK5dKbWuykyUZb6S5CqJ95bhLiTi8av46_H29ceHWMAjUN8VlI/s200/Backyard++IF+Shootout++Tiff+Formal+May+2011+Tiff+ERJHS+Awards+077.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621954796599547890" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzjTVmWsVYsP0PyQw3kX5kro-mZYvoD6O0QimOutikcVNDodowixlpY9yzNKj-wgKYjxVCD_P23uTVfPbZF5exPgzKna297hyphenhyphen69iLlA6442C5YC0eO0kQfFQF0oe-ULaV8n45X/s1600/Backyard++IF+Shootout++Tiff+Formal+May+2011+Tiff+ERJHS+Awards+071.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzjTVmWsVYsP0PyQw3kX5kro-mZYvoD6O0QimOutikcVNDodowixlpY9yzNKj-wgKYjxVCD_P23uTVfPbZF5exPgzKna297hyphenhyphen69iLlA6442C5YC0eO0kQfFQF0oe-ULaV8n45X/s400/Backyard++IF+Shootout++Tiff+Formal+May+2011+Tiff+ERJHS+Awards+071.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621954521246076194" /></a>crazydarlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415788503448699698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17871509.post-66466293231471187622011-06-24T17:37:00.001-07:002011-06-24T17:50:19.081-07:00MAD Marathon! May 14th 2011HALF MARATHON <br />Yes. Did I finish? No.<br />So my fabuloso friend Lezhai organized this WHOLE event as a fundraiser for the Olive Osmond Hearing Fund and the community turnout was awesome! I 'roped' my family into it with me and we had a great reunion. My sisters Carlee and Lisa did the half as well as my nephew Travis's wife Jan and my cousins' wife Mamie! My sister Linda did the 5K and her grandson (my GREAT nephew) Lane did the 5K (with a broken toe!)<br />I had a huge huge struggle bc I bought NEW RUNNING SOCKS and they were too new, they rubbed my feet raw and by mile 5ish I knew I was in trouble, mile 7 we put on some mole skin and mile 9 I had to throw it in. Both feet were blistered BAD and I was done. Everyone else finished though and I was able to be there to cheer em' through the finish! It was awesome! I do not consider it a 'fail' because I could have finished! <br />So there ya have it - another milestone in my 39-40th year!<br /><br /><br /><br />MY CRAZY SISTERS AND I <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha91Ar1GK1HuYMWItfQ-k8DGL9iFK6hyphenhyphensFGXpStoUrNKwFbxMNkE2ipUWObJxqUGwbowRToVnthLOWmWAnmX6m8h1-HxDwKUwsCpeF2QlyDnbrycLS0VnYSt1YDSwcwKBrAgDw/s1600/Dani+PROM++Commencement+May+2011+MAD+Soccer+Play+etc+114.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I have been stuck "out" of my blog forever! I couldn't get in and post and it was making me nuts!<br />So, here I am and having nothing to post. <br />May was the end of the school year, MAD marathon, dances and so on but all my photos are on my camera still so... ya. <br />June is already wrapping up - Chris turned 20 - yard is blooming up nice - we planted a veggie garden that I am pumped about. Tiff is in Boise, Dani is headed to Oregon and Chris is still out of work as Blake has nothing for him. Pooey! <br /><br />That's about it! <br />Hopefully I can get my photos downloaded and 'share' more soon!<br /><br />:O) Just glad I got INTO my own blog again!crazydarlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415788503448699698noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17871509.post-48016628832881527572011-05-09T10:23:00.000-07:002011-05-09T10:33:38.366-07:00amazing weekend - amazing kids<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZDKhx6SRGT52VyeICTVT4IMfdOR4qDFNtoCqeu1Lo_4oJD3Ednc5ugvSvOJc9BOY4_QTOsHpXhfB0CLB_WgHU7hqUjlIfTBqXzz0lZjmT0ujC1E0Dg5PF9hxdZS4qFgKNTqqN/s1600/DSCN4011.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZDKhx6SRGT52VyeICTVT4IMfdOR4qDFNtoCqeu1Lo_4oJD3Ednc5ugvSvOJc9BOY4_QTOsHpXhfB0CLB_WgHU7hqUjlIfTBqXzz0lZjmT0ujC1E0Dg5PF9hxdZS4qFgKNTqqN/s400/DSCN4011.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604770840725659570" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibUydaH6t8Z6WYR15-PFE5yr02eq6GyrTKbiBH8eWxxgshrgOCXWtU3HWOjlJsEW68JyRg7kpCdrs-tRCekdTF45xfa6MWKjGlGlMcq8FMK1tKXUcleSwEc6uxmU2oEet-5fuf/s1600/DSCN4008.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibUydaH6t8Z6WYR15-PFE5yr02eq6GyrTKbiBH8eWxxgshrgOCXWtU3HWOjlJsEW68JyRg7kpCdrs-tRCekdTF45xfa6MWKjGlGlMcq8FMK1tKXUcleSwEc6uxmU2oEet-5fuf/s400/DSCN4008.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604770674532592530" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSMdzznGKgCIv27TwOBt6mv1hwN7_A2oJRyQuxIlQ927WivOCq8NA32AiO_nA4mMpfLs1o_dQ24rKeJMLYHPkcQV52jjR2M0Dyee-r4siRhsVezR1qXJLE6-Khixs4Q5u8QLcv/s1600/DSCN4002.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSMdzznGKgCIv27TwOBt6mv1hwN7_A2oJRyQuxIlQ927WivOCq8NA32AiO_nA4mMpfLs1o_dQ24rKeJMLYHPkcQV52jjR2M0Dyee-r4siRhsVezR1qXJLE6-Khixs4Q5u8QLcv/s400/DSCN4002.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604769466707426226" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWqkVqABguP0kACs37W_7Wbkbcp5sSUHYiqgqbCNXu2ESuw1FQUqm8zSZxlSAhB39hbdFviDss3aX-5RcINmjswAKTMFn8lWj7bUCzo1lfOj-mJB8LnIxT4f1o1yXKfeWcXzY/s1600/DSCN3975.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWqkVqABguP0kACs37W_7Wbkbcp5sSUHYiqgqbCNXu2ESuw1FQUqm8zSZxlSAhB39hbdFviDss3aX-5RcINmjswAKTMFn8lWj7bUCzo1lfOj-mJB8LnIxT4f1o1yXKfeWcXzY/s400/DSCN3975.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604769059127197122" /></a><br />this past week was awesome<br />Tiffany starred in her school drama program <br />including WRITING two scenes <br />Dani rocked our socks at the soccer tourney <br />in Twin Falls...

Love her, she is so smart!!Jillian posted this on FB today and I loved it - thought it was so insightful: <br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>Fear of failure </strong>can be paralyzing. But surely you've heard <em>“if your not failing ...your not trying”</em>? Evidence that failure is all a matter of perspective. Think of <strong>all the people you admire, I guarantee you they all failed </strong>at one time or another. <br />The key is to recognize setbacks for what they really are – entry points for learning <strong>not validation that you aren’t good enough.</strong> After a disappointment analyze your actions, get feedback from friends & take inventory of what you could do better next time. <br />This type of <strong>self-reflection </strong>& improvement will ultimately make success inevitable.See More<br />By: Jillian Michaels.crazydarlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415788503448699698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17871509.post-48935351109859057522011-02-21T06:25:00.001-08:002011-02-21T06:26:59.977-08:0012 weeks to train for the MAD half marathon and I have made very very very LITTLE progress but....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuoMh24aeByJaSHDLk9Pog9bvGxFnn19w8DJPED6g-alQBmdzLi2fNsfSwAAhcBurHIe5mD7zT9PsD_dcOvqw04IQVdjs7AOUC0L0sKmuQ58fsNrQ1H4zsMeqDQixAJAOjmbBj/s1600/don%2527t+quit+sign.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 257px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuoMh24aeByJaSHDLk9Pog9bvGxFnn19w8DJPED6g-alQBmdzLi2fNsfSwAAhcBurHIe5mD7zT9PsD_dcOvqw04IQVdjs7AOUC0L0sKmuQ58fsNrQ1H4zsMeqDQixAJAOjmbBj/s400/don%2527t+quit+sign.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576149085757007138" /></a>crazydarlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415788503448699698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17871509.post-58386116495125323682011-02-16T21:23:00.000-08:002011-02-16T21:24:55.088-08:00smart words<strong>Don't Compete, <br />Don't Compare <br />and <br />Don't Complain</strong><br /><br /><br />Ed's aunt shared this on FaceBook and I really really liked it. <br />Good strong words.
