We decided to do some family pictures this spring again; however, we did it a little differently this time. Instead of posing in front of a canvas or some trees, we headed out to a meadow and flew kites The folks at 20/20 Visual Studios in Palmer Lake, CO were so fun to work [...]

The First 5K Down
We did it! The Boedie fam completed our first (and last?) 5K this past weekend. It was part of a fundraiser for the kids’ school, so we figured why not!
Princess was one of about a half dozen 2nd graders that did the whole 5K. Dude was one of a few 5th graders who did the [...]
What is 3.10685596?
3 miles + 564 feet + 2.4 inches
The distance in a 5K race.
The distance the Boedies will travel, by foot (some people call it running), on September 18th in a fundraiser for the kids’ school.
What the hell was I thinking registering for this?
I blame it on a brain fart after a long, busy day at work.
Or it [...]

Me: What?
Dude: Where is Paradise? That guy said he has [...]
Memorial Day Weekend - Day 3 - Absolutely Horrible
On Memorial Day, we packed up and headed back to Grand Lake once again. The previous day, we saw a flyer that said there was a Small Town Memorial Day Parade at 10:00 a.m. . . . what better way to spend Memorial Day than by watching a parade? We also wanted to drive home [...]
Memorial Day Weekend - Day 2 - A Complete Bust
It only got worse from Day 1 . . . on Day 2, we woke up and headed back to Grand Lake for buffet breakfast at the Fat Cat Cafe - TOTALLY worth it. Yummy! The English couple that runs the place is delightful, and the food (especially the pastries and other desserts) is amazing.
With [...]
Memorial Day Weekend - Day 1 - A Total Bust
A friend and coworker of mine let us use her cabin up in Tabernash, CO for Memorial Day weekend. We were SOOOO excited! An inexpensive weekend for the fam up in the mountains - what more could we ask for? We got up there later on Friday night because we couldn’t leave until the kiddos [...]
Mother’s Day 2010
I’m so lucky! My family really does shower me with love and do whatever I want to do on Mother’s Day - well, I get showered with their love every day, but the extra gifts on Mother’s Day make it extra fun
My grand plan of sleeping in as long as I wanted went [...]

I never understood why they would have their kids spend so much time playing one sport, which meant they also had to spend all that time watching their kid play that sport.
I always said “There is no way my kid is playing hockey. [...]
