Time for fresh air and outside activities.

Spring is in full swing around here as far as activities go. Ty has been riding the mtn. trails and even though they are a little slushy, he is loving them. He routinely comes home with the telltale splash marks up his back from riding through the slushy meadow. Gotta love that kid and his laundry!! Lucy the lab is his riding partner, we have actually had to up her food intake since she has been burning so many calories running with Ty-Ty. Ty is now dreaming of a 2400.00 bike, (guess what we told him LOL). He wants to get the "Kona Stinky" , built in Ferndale Washington! We keep reminding him that he needs to save his $$ for a car next year, that is a hard realization when you are only 15.
Brycen is going strong in soccer. He was chosen as only one of two sixth-graders to join the first ever "South Tahoe Middle School Timberwolves Co-Ed" soccer team. 30 kids tried out and our little Bryce was one of the chosen ones. We are so proud of him. Now, he is often going to 2 practices a day which includes running and conditioning for both teams (club-travel and middle school). He has washboard abs that would make Hulk Hogan proud. We played in the rain today at our local college field and we kicked some MAJOR booty!! WTG Guys.
Addy is loving her little brownie troop activities, check out the photos below to see her in action during our reforestation project in our local burn area. She is reading the "Ramona" books that I remember reading in 3rd grade and has a little crush on a cute boy named "Juan". "Juan" is a keeper for sure, the little man wore a 3 pc. suit to kindergarten graduation last year and is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. How many boys that you know wear suits to kindergarten grad??? I will have to find a photo to post so you can all see how cute he is.
Andy and I are the same-O. Carpools, soccer games, driving Ty and his buddies all over town etc. etc. I really can't wait until that boy can drive.
Until later............
We LOVE you all and miss you dearly, Kim and Lesha, I would love to see belly pix!
Love The Burrow Family.

So much for a snails pace.

So, I don't know about you, but life around here seems to be snowballing for us. Faster....faster....faster. It seems the minute I turn around, one of our children is reaching yet another milestone in their lives. I try to relish the moment but so many times, it doesn't seem like we celebrate often enough some of lifes important memories or take note of some of the special messages we should be learning from our children. I am going to try to slow down a bit this month to focus a little more. (yes, it will be hard for me to slow down but I know it needs to be done.)
