Bo, Rory, and I took part in the River Bank run today. We did the one mile fun run. It was good and Bo and Rory did awesome. They ran most of the way and we finished in the middle of the pack. Here are some pics. The first on is before the race, and the second on is after.
A couple of weeks ago I entered a giveaway on one of my favorite blogs Home Ec 101.The giveaway was for dishwasher soap. Not very exciting but why not try. So last week I received an email saying I had won!! Awesome, I was kind of excited just because I don't usually win anything.
Yesterday the Fed Ex man delivered a medium sized package. By this time I had totally forgotten that I was expecting anything. I opened it up and there were two large packages of dishwasher tabs (at most I was expecting a sample size). It ends up being an entire months supply! Which will totally save some cash. Thank you so much Home Ec 101!!
In other news my one year old nephew will be staying with us for awhile. . He'll be with us during the week and with his mom on the weekends. We are happy to have this opportunity to get to know him and spend this time with him.
Soccer season has started three of the boys are playing. Last week was their first week and we had a great time. I'm coaching Thor this year and so far so good.
I think that's about it for now.
I have been busy. The last month has been a whirlwind of engagements and visitors. Along with working a little over 40 hours a week I have had little time to think or blog. First my youngest sister in law Eleanore came up on her spring break with her baby Donovan. It was an okay visit, but I find myself grateful that all my children are out of diapers and becoming more independent.
Then my best friend Erin came from Walla Walla on her spring break. Which was awesome I honestly can't remember the last time I had had so much fun. We went to the Old Prison Museum in Deer Lodge, which I think would be awesome if it was freezing cold and snowy. We spent the rest of our time just hanging out in Missoula.
This last weekend Enoch's older sister Rachel came to visit with her two sons, and it was fun too. We went to the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the UM which was awesome. It always amazes me that they can mange to pull it off so smoothly, so thanks to Patia since she is a vital part of that. I think it would be a kick to watch the egg hunt from the M, some year when the kids are grown.
Thursday night I had my coaches meeting for soccer, I am coaching Thor's team. This is awesome because 5 year old's still listen to you, the fields are smaller and you don't have to know the rules. I think the only penalty ever called is out of bounds. Tonight was Bo's first practice and his coach wants to practice two days a week. I'm having Thor's first practice on Thursday. And I'm still waiting on Rory's coach to call and say when they will practice.
In other news Bo, Rory, and I will be running the 1 mile fun run at the River Bank Run on the 25th. I have started running with them in the evenings and their both really excited.
Enoch has been gone a lot lately and left again today for Kalispell which is fine, it's nice that we still miss each other when we're apart.

Today I got the chance to do something I rarely do. A good friend (she's single, and doesn't have kids) invited me over to her house for wine and relaxation. I was really excited because I knew Enoch would be home and that I would not have to worry about the kids.
So I drove over to her house we enjoyed some wine, and then some Lebanese treats she put together. (I can't remember the names sorry). The biggest thing I noticed was how quite it was. I usually tune out the kids but our house is never dead silent. It was very relaxing!
I feel rejuvenated. I go to the gym everyday and that usually is the only time I'm not with the kids. So it was really nice to be able to go enjoy some grown up quite time.
