First half of April 2026 - running, Easter, skating, and signs of Spring

Isaac and I have been running together we are running the Goldy 10K in one week. Kyle also has been running, he's training for the 10 mile. Trying to cram lots of runs in because we both took too much time off around spring break. 

Coloring eggs the day before Easter

Easter morning.

Attempt at the resurrection rolls... but with really old yeast they were kinda a flop. 

 

Easter Day run

Hunting for eggs around the house and a tired pup. 

 

Muscrat spotting on a morning run

Mary had her dress rehearsal for the upcoming ice show and Thomas started a skating skills class to prepare to learn how to play hockey. 

Kids helping to clean the wallpaper glue goo off the office walls in preparation for our office remodel... I'll make a big separate post all about this. But in an effort to save $4000 we're removing the wall paper ourselves. 

Sunday April 12th the Goldy Run

Up early, parked over near our church and rode the light rail over to campus

Isaac and I finished the 10K, realized we should have trained more and practice running some hills. 

Here comes Kyle finishing up his 10 miles. 

And guess what!?! It's GOTR time (Girls on the Run) I started a team at my son's school. Fun to be back in the same community where my kids go to school and get to know my youngest's peers. 

Springtime blooming trees:

And beautiful sun rises on my drive to swim in the morning. 

End of March 2026

 Looks like I have some catching up to do, my last post was spring break. So here is the rest of March. 

Thomas said "mom look at my hair"lol. He's been wanting to grow it a little longer 

Morning run March 27th

Emma participated in a polar plunge at school to benefit Special Olympics

Technically April 3rd, but washing Oakley up at the self wash station. 

3D Printing

Enough here this was probably December through June 2026 prints. 

Snowman earrings

On Christmas break I made these little holders for our Catan game Isaac got for Christmas. 

Two attempts, but was able to make little trays for one of our board games. 

Stand for Alexa

Got a go pro for our spring break trip, now printing off accessories for it :-) 

This should be useful, it's a stick grip and opens to a tripod:

For the girls' birthday party we made all their guests their own name keychain

I also made my girls on the run coaches these keychains but they say GOTR. Didn't get a photo of that one. 

And Emma's soccer team has an away tournament in Duluth and the moms are putting together little swag bags so I made a batch for her soccer team. PVU is the name of her soccer club. Park Valley United.
