Cub Scout Salute

Bobcat

Austin got his bobcat award yesterday. He was so excited. When we were heading home he said "My Dad is going to be SO proud of me". It was cute. He called him as soon as we got home to tell him.

This is the Sea of trailers you could see from the hill. There were a lot of people there for memorial day.

We hit the sand dunes again this weekend. We love this place, especially when the weather isn't too cold or too hot. Jeremy has been prepping his four wheelers for a long time trying to get them ready to race this weekend. He beat all of the other four strokes except one by K&T performance, that tool king of the hill against everything there. It was great.

Herron Family Picture

Finally Reunited

It took almost three years but the kids were finally reunited!

These four cousins formed an unbreakable attachment for each other from the time they were young and became the best of friends. However due to a conflict amongst parents and a lot of hard feelings the kids were not able to see each other for almost three years. Now after waiting for a VERY LONG time, the kids were able to see each other and play. They caught up fast and before you knew it it was like no time had passed at all. It was such an emotional moment. I have missed my neice and nephew SO much and I am so happy they are back in our lives. There isn't anything on earth that will take them back out again. This was a great day for the Herron Family.

It was finally warm enough to get our boat out. We took it out Sunday for a quick spin to make sure everything was working and to just be able to hand out and catch some sun :) How relaxing :)

The kids had SO much fun running their hands through the spray on the side of the boat as we went.

This is another run we made on the rhino back in the sand dunes, you can hear Trinity laughing in the background on some of it.

Sand Dunes Roller Coaster

This is us riding some of the bowls at the sand dunes. We got lucky because it had rained the day before and so the sand was hard enough that we were able to ride a lot better on the rhine than normal. We had a ton of fun and Trinity and Austin were laughing SO hard I thought they were going to pee their pants.

The hike was as good as the fossils

Austin and Grandma Amy - Fossil Hunter and Mr Hiker

King of the mountain (Fossil Hunting)

Fossil Hunting

Jeremy's mom came up this past month and we decided to go Fossil Hunting (she used to be an Archaeologist so she knows what rock formations to look for). We had a great time hiking up the mountain and finding horn shells in the rocks. (the picture of the rock has fossils all over it). The kids also quickly discovered the lizards and were on the hunt. (Trinity is holding one lizard we caught.)

Why I joined the healthy habits competition

I started going to the gym and exercising with my husband about this same time last year. The thing with him is that when he does something he does it 110% so we went straight from getting a gym membership to learning everything you ever wanted to know about getting in shape and more. We did really well cutting out treats and eating better and of course hitting the gym 4-5 days a week. Some of the unwanted body fat came off (I am trying to lose body fat, not weight necessarily) and my muscles started to get defined. I have arms now!!! Not just the sticks I had before. (I honestly didn't think this was an accomplishable goal). But over the last couple months I have hit a plateau and to be honest I am not sure where I want to go. So.... with no goals in mind I find myself cheating and not doing as well as I once did. So I joined my sisters Healthy Habits competition....
I won't go into all the rules and definitions other than to say I have to eat healthy every day, exercise every day, get 7 hours of sleep a night and meet a personal goal. I am excited to jump off this plateau and find a new, well rounded me :)
