So I just signed up for the dirty dash and to be honest I am a bit nervous. I am just hoping that with it being in September it will give me plenty of time to get in shape, which is part of the reason I did it. I need some more motivation to get back into shape. Anyway I have heard it is a blast and my team should be pretty fun to do it with so I am excited. Jones has decided he wants to do the kids one, now we just need to convince Mark to do it with him.

Sledding

Ok so I am a little behind on my blog but I have been pretty busy and to be honest my blog is at the bottom of my list of things to worry about. Anyway here are some pictures of our annual New Years Day sledding. I wasn't sure it was actually going to happen this year due to both Jaimin and me being in a boot and the lack of good snow. Anyway we decided to give it a try, it was fun for most everyone that went but way too icy for the two of us in boots. I actually think there was more ice that snow. Here is a picture of poor Jaimin trying to get back up the hill after going down, ya it didn't work so well.

So this is how he got up the rest of the time. It's a good thing that I never went down I don't think Mark would have been able to carry me up the hill too.

Jones with his snowboard. He is actually pretty good. I really need to take him up to the resorts so he can really get good at it.

Jones and Mark getting ready to go down the ice hill.

Jones and his cousin Max.

Jaimin and his cousin Haley. I think Jaimin went down maybe 2 times and decided it was too cold and not so much fun in a boot, so the both of us spent most of the time sitting in a warm car watching everyone.

Nice and warm.

Christmas 2010

Here are some pictures of our Christmas 2010. This Christmas was a lot of fun, but also seemed to be really busy. It seems like every year it gets busier and busier even though I try and have all my shopping done earlier and earlier every year. The boys are both at the point where they really get excited for Christmas which makes it more exciting for us. Jaimin would pray at night that he would be able to open presents in how ever many days were left till the big day. I think they got everything they wanted. We spent most of the Christmas break building Lego's that Marks parents gave them, it;s amazing how long Lego's keep them entertained.
Here are two pictures of the boys while at my parents house on Christmas night. Jaimin was really excited about his remote control Iron Man and Jones loved his new night vision binoculars. He will definitely be putting those to use in the summer during night games.

The presents before the boys came in and destroyed it all.

Jaimin with his Lincoln logs and Jones with his Erector set (one of the 2 things he asked for).

Goggles for snowboarding.

Jones gave Jaimin a Harry Potter set that came with glasses and a wand. Jaimin is really into Harry Potter lately so he was thrilled with it.

Here is the other thing that both of them requested. I am not sure why they wanted them but all I heard them say they wanted was a ninja zhu zhu pet.

Here is Jaimin with his new golf set, he got a golf bag, clubs, Spongebob balls, and a putting green. He loves to golf.

Half way through opening presents. He had a smile on his face all morning.

And here is our early Christmas gift. My oldest sister had her baby boy Jace on December 21.
Here is a picture of Jones holding him, he just can't get enough of him. He keeps telling me that he wants to keep him.

There first picture as a new family.

Here is Jaimin holding him. He only seems interested when the baby is awake.

It is really weird for me to see Mark holding a dark baby boy, it brings back many memories of when my boys were little. It seems so long ago.

And this is how he is 90 percent of the time. He is adorable and such a calm little guy.
