Mom's Day Present

Maris and Luke surprised me with a brand new cruiser bike for Mother's Day. I love it, it's so nice. We have been on lots of bike rides and plan to ride a lot more this summer.
Gotta get them when you can!!
Such a big girl now..she can swing all by herself (only for about 30 seconds at a time before she bails out).

Race for the Cure

Natalya and her posse at The Race for the Cure.

This Saturday, May 10th, I walked in the Susan Komen Race for the Cure. This year I was there supporting a good friend of mine. Her sister was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is only 32 years old with 5 kids at home. So sad. (prayers are much needed for her and her family) We saw lots of sad stories but it was good to get out and support such a great cause.

More cute pictures of Maris

Maris is learning to zip her coat and now she is a little OCD about it. It has to be zipped all the time!! PS she found this hat in her drawer and put it on backwards...her dad is so proud.


Emma (mema is how Maris says it) and Maris Saturday morning


We went to our cabin this past weekend for "spring cleaning". Thought I would post some cute photos of Maris. It was very nice in Pine but snow is still on the ground in some places and the reservoir is not even filled back up...kind of sad looking but i guess we still have quite a bit of run off to go. Hope to see it full and beautiful the next time we go.
