Goose's First 5K

I haven't shared much about being a board member on a local non-profit here in Colorado but I am today because we just had our first Run, Stroll & Roll 5K Free Community Event! It was a blast!
Own Your Own Health is a great organization that is helping people take ownership of their own health. Our mission is Encouraging, developing & supporting ownership of your health and healthcare. 
My family has a special bond with this organization for at least two reasons:
1.) my best friend is the founder and executive director and she has the most kind spirit of anyone I know!
2.) because when Hubby was sick this past April not only did the mission of the organization and the information they provide help save his life and get him the care he needed but Tiffany was there for support every step of the way!

Here are just a few pictures from the event.
Kelsey Campbell from the 2012 London Olympics was there and she signed Goose's shirt. 
She said it was the first time she had ever signed a baby!

Just chillin' out in the windy Colorado weather watching everyone run the race.
I think she won the 5K race! 
It was a free community event so in reality there were no official winners but in my book if you can run a 5K with a child on your back you should get a metal!

I will continue to share information about this organization as we grow and do things around the community. In the mean time if you want to know more about it go to Own Your Own Health.org or email me with anything you would like to know.

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
