We NEED more RAM...

Our computer is ON THE FRITZ! It's running way too s-l-o-w which makes blogging seem like more of a chore than anything else.
Here's a few things we've been up to lately until we can get our computer fixed and I can finally do a real post again.

We've been racing for the cure. Madison, Karley, and Kris raced while me and Dustin and Paige and Scott cheered them on from the sidelines.

We've Pine-Valleyed and spent a relaxing, kick-back weekend in the Mountains.

We've celebrated this mustard-faced boys 3rd birthday.

We've been horse-back riding. Completely horrifying at first and then completely therapeutic and natural. We'd love to go again.

Madison's Induction Ceremony

Madison was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society.
There was a ceremony with speeches and candle lighting and the inductees got to wear gowns and march into the gymnasium to beautiful music that evoked bittersweet feelings in their parents.
Don't they realize that those kind of things just tug on a mother's heartstrings!? And just in case any of those mothers just happened to be sailing through life and not thinking about the fact that their kids are growing up well, that ceremony sure snapped us out of that. AND...don't they realize that those kinds of milestones make you flash back to when those same sweet kids were just entering kindergarten and then cruelly make you flash forward to when they'll be graduating and taking their own place in the world.
It could turn anyone into a blubbering crying mess.
