Work & Play

We have been quite busy lately, here is a quick update, with more to come! A few weeks ago Kent underwent the task of sanding and staining the whole front porch. Not so fun, I didn't even pretend to help. ;) However, Brayden was right next to Kent the whole time sanding away. He lasted a LOT longer than I expected. He loves to help and be a busy bee.


I didn't get a pic. of the finished product, but it looks great!


Keegan, Owen,Dani, Ally, Ellie and Brayden
All the chillin's checking out Auntie and Uncle's hot tub. They were all lined up so nicely, I thought I would get a quick pic. of all their cute bums, but I wasn't fast enough!



Last week we had quite the adventure! Brayden went to a play with Grandma Phillips and Ally. Kent and the girls and I went on a bike ride with some friends. These friends are wonderful.....they make our lives seem so easy. They have a six year old daughter and girl triplets who are 4! They pulled up to our house and unloaded all of their gear for our ride. I just laughed out loud! I chatted with Shannon (the mom) while Chris (the dad) was getting everything set up. Suddenly I realized, 'you have 4 kids, how are you all going to ride? Lindsey is too big for the trailer. Have no fear, they had it all situated.......


My load that I haul around. ;) 70+ pounds.

This pic. does NOT do them justice. Chris had Lindsey on a tandem bike behind him, then a trailer behind her! Shannon had ONE girl (the smallest one) behind her! :) We were a full on circus cruising down the road! PLUS I bit it hard in a major intersection. SURPRISE!
I finally got a new bike for my sprint race, and I got the fancy clip in shoes (which I love), and it was the second time I had ridden with them....long story short, I couldn't get my feet out in time before I slowly fell to the side, while screaming, "OOHHHH SHHIIITTT!" (Did I mention one of these girls in the trailer is a client of mine)? Impressive, I know. I had a few black marks up and down my legs, but I was good to go after I regained any composure that I had left. Needless to say, this little bike ride turned into an all night event! ;)



Let me introduce you to....... The SUPER PHILLIPS KIDS~ Ever since my friend, Meghan, made a cape for her son, I have been on the look out for some "super capes." It just so happens that my neighbor that lives three houses down, makes these! You can choose your own color and letter (of course). They are too adorable, Brayden and Dani LOVE them, Ellie not so much yet. B wears his EVERYWHERE!
