Well I owe you at least that! I've been sending blog posts from my phone but didn't realize they never posted until yesterday. Here's a quick list of what we've been up to.
1. Did you know we moved? It's been crazy around here so I guess I left out an offical "we moved" post. We now reside in Chandler and love it! We found the perfect farm and bought it! For the first time in over 5 years we get to have breakfast with daddy before work!
2. Daddy is now an Engineer! He was promoted on Father's Day/Jack's birthday. We are so proud of him.
3. Ava lost her first two teeth last week! She was quite happy to receive the golden dollars from the tooth fairy.
4. Ava starts kindergarten on Monday! Lily starts the third grade on Monday! I am in shock our summer vacation is over. I guess our summer list will just have to carry on into the school year :)
5. Meet the teacher is tomorrow. We are dying of anticipation over here! New school. New teachers. New friends.
6. While I am sad summer vacation is coming to an end, have you ever tried unpacking a house with three small children. Impossible! Looking forward to finding my stuff!
7. We have 4 new baby chicks! They were hatched on June 29th and are an adorable addition to our farm family.
8. Candice and Mellow are both laying eggs now. Waking up to fresh all natural eggs is such a good feeling.
9. Did I mention we live off a dirt road? With irrigation? And horses for neighbors? It's true.
10. We love our new house and are settling in, but we do miss our friend. We made some amazing friends during our time in Surprise. We will miss spending time with them all. Thank goodness for facebook!

ten on tuesday
1. I am broken. Last September I injured my hip while increasing my running distance. I limped for a week and let it rest a month. Raced and limped for another week. Repeat. While I was busy with the holidays I let it rest some more. January came and It was time to start training again. My hip was still sore. I started seeing a chiropractor who said it was probably bursitis. I had a MRI a last week just to be sure there wasn't anything else going on. The MRI looked good. So now I'm back the the chiropractor for some acupuncture. Fingers crossed this will work. I love running and miss it daily.
2. Just in case you haven't had an MRI....I'm going to give you advance warning, it's obnoxiously loud! Not only do you have to sit in a tube perfectly still for 20 minutes with earmuffs, there are extremely loud banging and beeping and buzzing noises going on. That is where my yoga practice came in handy. I highly recommend using meditation during your MIR.
3. There are less than two weeks until my first triathlon of the year and yesterday was my first day of training! 2.5 mile run (omg that was hard) and power yoga. Today I bike. Tomorrow I swim (maybe). I'm not anticipation any record breaking this year.....
4. Today Lily starts softball and Ava starts tball! So excited for my little sluggers!
5. This week I stumbled across this you tube video. Elic is an old friend from Jr. High. Hilarious!
6. Here's an interesting article I ran across today. Scary, the things we put in our body and have no idea they're there....
7. I've been photographer shopping! I just found one that makes my heart beat a little faster!
8. I've also been house shopping!
9. And when I move I'm going to fill my kitchen with this and this, these and these and these too. But I must have this!
10. It took me all day to complete this list. Five minutes here, five minutes there. I really need to find more time for this.

1. I'm thinking February needs two additional days. I honestly had no clue today was March 1st until I looked at my iPhone this morning. I'm feeling a little cheated today.
2. I love March! So long winter blues, the sunshine is back! Spring training, the pool opens, t ball and softball for the girls, spring shopping! Spring make me happy :)
3. Guess what? Our 15th wedding anniversary is in two weeks! And you all thought we'd never make it ;)
4. We planted our first organic garden last weekend! Ava loves to garden and Lily loves tomatoes. It's a win-win!
5. To go along with our organic fruits and veggies, we picked up a couple chicks last month. Yes, we are officially farmers, or hillbillies :) Candice and Mellow are toddler hens now and will soon be free range in our backyard providing us with farm fresh eggs! In case you were wondering, Sammy's a great mother hen.
6. So why the big lifestyle change.....It's been coming for a while. I believe we are what we eat. Not only what we put in our bodies but on them. So over the past year we have made little changes. Each time I go to the store I change at least one item to an all natural or organic product. Some films that motivated us you should for sure watch. http://www.foodincmovie.com/ http://www.foodmatters.tv/
7. I registered Ava for Kindergarten last week! She is counting the days!
8. She's reading!!! I don't think I've talked about it yet but she is! Ava started blending at the beginning of the year but would get really frustrated with me. So I backed off a bit. Then last month she had a new interest and is doing fantastic! Reading is one of my favorite developments and five is an amazing age!
9. I really want these boots! But they're gone. Not in my size. Anywhere. I've been looking since December. Let me know if you come across them in an 8.
10. I really want these shoes! But again not in an 8.

I know it's Thursday, but it's been a while.
1. Ava will be five in only one day! I asked her "how did that happen? What am I going to do?" She said "you still have Jack mom."
2. This birthday is a BIG one. She's been asking about it for around 7 months. We've been counting down on the chalkboard for over a month and she knows exactly what she wants....dsi, pillow pet, Red Lobster.
3. I picked myself up a birthday present last week. More on that later :)
4. My baby brother flew in from Italy yesterday! It's been several years since he's been home so we are all excited to see him.
5. Do you use groupon.com? I've picked up a couple smokin deals over there recently. Gap, Lavenders Day Spa, AZ science center....
6. Here we go again....fall activities are here. Lily's in soccer and dance. Ava's in dance. They will be in ballet and tap together! Jack loves playing at soccer practice with his bff "Blate" and I'm back to swimming.
7. Did you pick up your Polar Express tickets yet? They're selling out. Of course I procrastinated until last week and didn't get our perfect date but our second choice. We are looking forward to our 4th trip to the North Pole!
8. I'm getting old and I feel it. I ran a 10k last week and my hips haven't been the same. I took about a week off. I ran 4.5 miles yesterday and now I'm limping again. Scott and I are training for triathlon next month so this is not cool. Taking another week off to swim, bike and stretch. Hopefully I can run 5k next week.
9. I've been attempting to take a picture a day for the past two years. It's really difficult to lug the camera around everywhere but since I've had my iPhone I take photos all the time. I fount this amazing app that puts them right on a calendar I love it!
10. I love the summer. I'm going to miss it so. You know those songs that bring you back to a period or moment in time? What was yours this summer? My summer theme song is California Gurls
for sure! It started rotation around the time we were in San Diego and take me right back to that amazing trip. It's a favorite of the kiddos too.
Until next time....

1. I've been looking forward to summer all year and after Friday we are all officially on summer vacation! Ava graduates preschool Thursday and has a party on Friday. She's headed to pre k next year :)
2. Lily started swim team this week. So far so good. First meet is next week.
3. Scott just flushed another fish down the toilet. These little sucker are hard to keep up with. The current fishies have lasted the longest but we had some bad luck for a while. Any suggestions on good fish would be appreciated.
4. Yesterday Ava informed me that she wants to be a cowgirl when she grows up! I love it!
5. Jack is now saying "Ava" and "Lily" instead of "Ada" and "Yiye". I'm gonna miss that baby talk.
6. I booked a session for our family photos! I am excited and a little nervous at the same time. It's been four years since I hired a photographer and I'm a little camera shy now that I'm always behind the lens. But I can't wait!!!
7. I took all three kids to the salon to get their hair cut today. Jack does not belong in a salon. He is a crazy almost two year old. He loves to get his hair cut however. It's like he's in a trance. He sits very still and acts as if he's going to fall asleep.
8. I have not been swimming in almost two weeks. I miss it. I crave it. I will swim next week.
9. Lily is a Brownie! After two years as a Daisy, she has bridged over to a Brownie. Her troop had an awesome luau last weekend to celebrate.
10. I love my iPhone. I love that can make calls, text, blog, surf the web, email, map directions instantly, check the weather, listen to music, track my running, read the news, find restaurants in my current location, occupy my children with games, reserve a redbox movie, order Chipolte, see wait times for my favorite rides at Disneyland, but my favorite thing about my iPhone is the camera. Documenting just a little bit each day.
