Tough Mudder

I am doing this event called the Tough Mudder next month with a buddy.  Check it out if you want to see what I have gotten myself into.  Training today consisted of sprints, running with a 20 pound rock over my head and scaling a drainage ditch.  Anyone want to join us?  Check out http://toughmudder.com/ and look at the specifics of the Vail Lake event next month.

A rear moment of the boys not fighting and getting along. Zac took a header in the bathtub, can't blame Ethan for that one. Zac was with me not Heidi when he fell in the tub. Told him to stop but he just didn't listen.

This place sure beats DHS!

Happy boy

At the park and the boys would rather exercise than play. Yo Pa would be proud

Ugly dog

Went to a dog show today and couldn't believe the hairless dogs. With my allergies there isn't many choices if we wanted to take one home

Loves Christmas presents

Zac digs his new glasses

Bumblebees

We had our end of the season party. They all received trophies. It was an interesting experience and Ethan seemed to have fun. Honestly we were a little annoyed the coach wasn't very good and the other players were flakey

Happy new year

Great party with good friends

Cold run

New iPhone

Got the survivor armored case.
It is a military duty case that is sealed to protect ports from blowing sand/dust. Shock/drop protected, wind & rain repellent and absorbs vibrations. Sure hope it holds up and I don't have to go without a phone again.

Presents and Hiking

Boys got up early to open presents and then we went for our annual Chrismas hike.  This time it was the Coachella Preserve.  Beautiful day, low 70's and no wind.  Everyone is watching Tin Tin while I hang out with Zac taking a nap.  Later this afternoon we are having a White Elephant party.  Marry Christmas everyone hope you had a great day.
