Petco Field Trip

Petco offers field trips to preschool & school aged kids. I set one up for my kids, and a friend in the neighborhood joined me with her grandkids. It was free and really good. The kids got to touch some animals, learned about caring for them, and mainly enjoyed looking at them.

First Wagon Ride

We want it to be spring! One afternoon, it was above freezing, so we pulled out the toys, and Sophie got her first wagon ride! I can't believe we were excited it was above freezing-but I know the kids & I are ready for the warm weather!

Guns vs. Hoses

Jimmy's brother played in the annual Guns vs. Hoses charity hockey game in January at the E Center. This is our third year going to it. Jimmy's brother is a police officer, so we cheer for the Guns. Here are some pictures from the day.

Too Late for New Years Resolution?

Okay-I have been thinking about a New years Resolution since NEW YEARS. So here I go-finally ready to commit to something!
I want to loose the 'extra weight from the baby'. I can use that excuse right? My baby isn't one years old yet? I want to get in shape again!

In 2010, I want to:

Compete in the Little Red Riding Hood road bike race in June-Cache Valley (don't know what distance to do yet)

Run a few 5K's (It would be nice to get my 5K time around 28 minutes or under)

Run the Farmington Festival Days 10K in July (with uncles & cousins)

Run the Layton City Half Marathon in October (with a high school friend)--that's you Andrea--

(and maybe hope to get on a Wasatch Back Relay Team)

To achieve these goals, I need to EXERCISE! I need to make time in my daily schedule to exercise. I need new running shoes, bike, bike shorts, and I need to register for these races. I don't need to hurt myself, and train smart.

There-its out there! Hopefully you will see updates and pictures on my blog over the upcoming year to see my progress! Go Marla!

Oh yeah-Other resolutions, get Jimmy graduated from school, Charlie potty trained, read more, and be a better mom.

Lights on.

I am addicted to this blog.

My last blog post didn't indicate there was more to the story.
It continues!

{heavy on my mind}

I never hope to hear of this happening to a family member or friend of mine. But at the same time I am scared this could be me.......all it takes is just a second for life to change like this. I started reading this story this afternoon, and her story and thoughts have been heavy on my mind....
I am a mom.
I have four kids.
I am the mom. I {think} I am responsible.
I get side-tracked with unmade bed, dirty laundry to be picked up, shoes unorganized, put other laundry away....

I do not know this lady, but found her blog from a Facebook friend. Grab a tissue, block out 15 minutes of life to read this blog. She writes very well, and woah-what a story, and its not over yet.

Start on February 1, 2010-then read backwards....

I have been in the ambulance with two of my children. I have been in the hospital with two sick child before. My situations were not as life-threatening as Sara (blog) but I too have walked the halls of PCMC. I have felt many emotions Sara has....

That is why I am scared.....it takes a second....When is my second going to come that rocks my world like Sara's?

In-n-Out Burger in West Jordan

Its here! In-n-Our Burger is in Utah! We made it to the West Jordan In-n-Out Burger for dinner! The place was packed, so we got our food to go and we took it back to Jimmy's brothers house to eat it. We were celebrating Nattalie's birthday.

Here are the pictures.
