Mass yoga class downtown

My yoga friends and I went to the Mass class downtown.

It was so awesome.

The sun was shining and the trees were so green against the blue sky.

I was overwhelmed with gratitude everytime I raised my arms in upward salute.

Thank you, thank you for this beautiful earth and my strong body and good friends to practice with.

Famous Idaho Potato 10k

My friend Tiffiney and I ran the Famous Idaho Potato 10k.  I felt totally ready and we ran the whole thing.  I got a cramp in my side from miles 2-4.5 so that was awful and slowed me down.  We finished in an hour and 5 minutes.  I was hoping for an hour so now I'm wanting to run it again. Anyway, the course was gorgeous and I loved running along the river and the Greenbelt.  

Lacrosse and Guidos with Mom

Kade had a tournament game and Mom got in just in time to see it.

They won and Kade had a fun time playing.

After the game we went to Guido's for pizza.

I love their pizza and so did Mom.

Addi turns NINE

Add mentioned that she loves waking up to streamers.

So of course I had to hang some up.

She loved it.

Kade wrote the cutest note on his gift to Add.

I am so glad they have each other.

Cute girl before school.

We had Pillsbury orange rolls in the waffle maker for breakfast.

I checked Add out for lunch and she chose Which Wich.

I took her back to finish up the day but met her to bring in her treats before the day was over.

I tied some balloons to her bike and she was so excited.

Nat helped her pass out her snacks to the class.

She is a really good friend to Add.

The balloons kept blowing in Add's face so Nat helped her until we met up with Kade.

She makes us so happy!

We went to Starbucks for frappuccinos.

(I did get Nat a cookie straw but she can't have hazelnuts 

and the straw had an allergy warning so we skipped it to stay on the safe side)

When Ethan got home we went to the mall and dinner.

We got her a pandora charm and she bought one too.

A bike and a dog bone.

And then she wanted time in Claire's (we usually rush her out of there)

and she chose a Mom/daughter bff necklace.

Pretty cute.

We went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner.

Once we got home, Add replied to her messages and facetimed Sage for a while.  

Kade needed some time so we went for a bike ride.

I like that he likes to ride bikes with me.

It was a great/exhausting day.

Ethan takes Montana

Ethan had to go see a bunch of accounts in Montana so he was gone from Monday to Monday.

It was a long week for us and a long week for him.

He traveled over 3,000 miles in the week he was gone.

Here are all the pics he sent me.

He's pretty cute.

Luckily, he got to spend some time in Billings.  

He was happy to hang out with his Dad (Jody is in Mexico) and his Grandparents.

We are so happy he is back!

Eric and Jackie stop by

Eric and Jackie needed to bring their dogs down to their vet in Idaho so they drove down Friday after work.  They arrived at 1 am which is a new late arrival :)

Add left them this cute note...she is so awesome.

The kids were so excited to wake up and see Bree.

I had to work so while Eric took the dogs to the vet, Jackie hung out with the kids.

They painted and wrestled and had a fun time being together.

When Eric got back and I finished work we went to Corona Village for dinner.

When we were there with Dad and Cath, Dad ordered a pina colada.

Add really wanted to try one so we got her a virgin pina colada and she loved it.

Jackie told the server that it was Add's birthday.

She was so surprised when they sang to her, Bree was bewildered.

After dinner Jackie and I went to see Pitch Perfect 2 with some friends from our ward.

It was really funny and I'm so glad we went together.

They took off around noon on Sunday.

It was a super fast trip (as usual) but so fun to be together.
