Mother-Daughter Hike

Posted by Jill Rule Categories: Jill, Kayleen

Kayleen and I hiked at Twin Falls State Park yesterday. It's just wonderful having so many trails to hike literally in our back yard! We went all the way up to the falls, and boy are we sore today!

I Spy

Can you spy what is out of place in these photos? No, it's not Alex's blob of a head. LOL

Did you find it??? YES? NO? It's mid-April snow. Who would have thought?

1st Hike of the Season

Posted by Jill Rule Categories: Jeremy, Jill, Kids, Trips

Last Friday we decided to take advantage of the first beautiful weather of the season. I'm glad we did since this last week has been cold, cold, cold! Jeremy took a little time off from work and we hiked to the top of Little Si. Just a few miles down the road from where we live. This is a picture of the family at the top of the trail. We only took our little 4MP camera so this is the best we could get.

Kayleen and Ethan are now certified trail runners. :-) Alex also hiked quite a bit of the way up the trail. We said he was our "little hiker" and he replied that he was our, "big hiker". He hiked up the middle third of the trail to our amazement! The hike is 4 miles and we all had a great time. Here are a few more pictures from our adventure: More Hike Photos.

Three Pigs Opera

Posted by Jeremy Rule Categories: Kids

Ethan made his opera debut yesterday. The Divo was not happy with wardrobe but put on his best face.

Alex and dad enjoyed the show and mom took photos.

Afterwards Ethan posed backstage with Maestra Coburn.

No Foolin'!

Happy April Fools Day!

Here are a few pictures from our snowfall last night...I kid you NOT! It's very weird to have snow so late in the season. The flakes were huge, but very wet. Most all of it is gone today. :-(

New Running Blog!

Posted by Jill Rule Categories:

Come check out my new running blog!

I've added a link over to the left in the blog links area. After running on the treadmill for 30 min. last night I decided to start up a new running program to up my endurance and running time/distance. Jeremy and I had great fun on our 5K run this last weekend (to read more details check out the blog!) and want to keep it up! We have decided to do one 5K a month from now on. It will be great! Not to mention a wonderful example of staying fit for the kids. Yes, I surely have weight issues to work on, but for now I'm excited to be able to run three miles straight! I can really feel a difference when I just run around with the kids for fun. It's no effort at all, where three months ago, it felt like my legs were bricks. And it was an effort to just romp around with them. Enjoy! I'll be updating the blog very often, so stay tuned!
