What I Do To Keep Me Sane During The Day

I love to read and I love to run. I found this book at Borders and bought it on a whim. I think this one of the best books that I've ever read for me. It's nothing fancy, not even very big, but I think it's exactly what I needed in my life. This guy has done things that I will never come close to accomplishing in my life and that's ok, especially after reading how hard it was for him. What I connected with him was his passion to run and his need to run. I realized after finishing this last night, how much I mentally need to run as well as physically. I've always looked at working out as a bonus if I get to it, but as life is more and more hectic, I'm finding what a crabby person I am on the days I don't workout. And how life just moves along easier when I do. It's hard to get up early and it's hard to run, but the high I have afterwards and continues to stay with me is becoming as necessary for me as air. I love his quotes and his humor, but I really love his honesty. I'm not a great runner, but I have alot of goals I want to accomplish and I'm grateful to have read this to give me the push to really focus on them. If you love to run, read it, it's truely inspiring! http://www.ultramarathonman.com/flash/

All of My Kids Are In School This Year!! Their First Day...

Many many days I dreamed of this day, when all of my kids would be in school and I would just get to play all day..., well such wasn't meant to be just yet and that's just fine, but I can't believe this day is here!! My baby is in KINDERGARTEN!! She definitely made it easy on me, not one tear, just love ya mom and a kiss, as well as the others. Well no kiss from the boys. They were mad enough at me that I was trying to take pictures of them. How dare I! Even Brayli was super excited for this day as she has her very favorite teacher of all time this year, Mrs. Culbertson, who is our adopted grandma. We love her! She had the boys for 2nd grade and says she's retiring after she gets Briegan! She'll want to after her!! Briegan got Mrs. Shomaker who Brayli had and so she is super excited and Trent got Tyler's 6th grade teacher who he loved, and Tyler has all of his friends on his school team this year, so I really anticipate a great year!

The security guard was laughing at Tyler for having to endure pictures by his mother as an 8th grader! It only happens once you know!

Trent would not let me take any pictures of him around his friends

What A Busy July!! The First Events- Birthday/4th of July Party At Our House!

For the 4th of July this year, all of my siblings came into town! It was so fun! We had lots of food, played four square, celebrated my dad's, mom's, Tyler's, and Kylee's birthdays that are in July, and had lots of fireworks. It was a great night!

I love this picture!

My dad has started a terrible tradition of giving each grandchild a huge bucket of cheeseballs for their birthdays. Of course they love it, but it makes me cringe thinking of all the processed stuff in them!

Bagley Family Pictures
