Good morning! I'm up early and as I was pouring my morning cup of coffee, there were 3 deer running through our field...so peaceful up north this morning! So I thought I'd take a few minutes to update our blog while the boys are catching their zzzzz's.

Not a whole lot has been going on really- we've been just busy keeping up with our everyday things. Chuck's getting ready to head back to work shortly. He's been putting a lot of bids out there some of which have came from word of mouth, his new website and some leads off Service Magic. It's definitely going to be a huge adjustment for beau when he goes back to daycare! He is so attached to us but we're looking forward to him being around other kids. He's been saying a few new things but it amazes me how he can comprehend sooo many things- example: I'll say "beau can you throw this away for me?" And he will put it in the bedroom garbage. "Beau pick up the red block" and he will. We'll ask him "Beau are you going to be nice?" and he'll say "no." He also has been outside a ton with Chuck while the weather's been nice and they work in the garage. Chuck was fixing a trailer so beau was right beside him checking things out. In the house he'll grab his plastic tools and pretend he's fixin his truck. He's sure is a little boy through and through!

This past Easter we were at mom and dad's and the kids had an Easter egg hunt outside. Beau did well! He found 9 eggs and Izzy found 10. He'd find them and point to them and run and get them. We'd been practicing at the house so he knew what they were AND I loved seeing his expression when he opened a plastic egg and found a jelly bean! He loves jelly beans! Mom and I took him to see the Easter Bunny and he did not like it at all, which I knew he wouldn't since he's only 17 months so I got my picture taken too :) He also was afraid of the eggs when we colored them. He saw them white then we took them out of the dye and they were a different color and he didn't like that at all!

I've been keeping busy training for Gramma's marathon. I'm up to running 3 miles now. I try every time I run to run 3- sometimes I do, sometimes 2 but the main thing for me is that I'm running!! That was my goal: to run and not completely hate it. I'm actually enjoying it and am so proud of myself. It's an awesome feeling to know you are accomplishing your goal and pushing yourself! I think I'm going to sign up for my first 5K which is April 18th. As of right now I just need to find a sitter (chuck is in a home show that same weekend). If I can't, I'm thinking of doing it with Beau in the stroller and just walking it. Another plus to running is that I have lost 13 lbs! It's taken me since the beginning of the year, but I feel tons better and more healthier!

I've posted some fun pics for you- EnJOy!! AND Enjoy this beautiful weekend! HOpe all is well with you!

Finally a Post!

"I don't know mom!"

I've been totally neglecting our blog...so I thought I'd give you a little update of what's been happenin in the Richardson household :)

Chuck's been staying home with beauman doing the daddy daycare thing. And boy is he BUSY! Beau is quite a handful this year compared to last year when chuck stayed home with him! Running and climbing...being a boy :) He sure is having fun with him and they really are buds. Chuck's annual home show is coming up in a few weeks and he's got a few new things up his sleeve. He had an awesome ad placed in the homeshow guide and is hoping to give on the spot bids with a new program he's going to buy. If you haven't already, check out his website at: http://www.northwoodsconcreteandmasonry.com/ He's also on Facebook so look him up! HOme show is in March. I'm also going to be in it for my work... :)

Beau is learning so many new things and it's so hard not to laugh at him when he's being a stinker! He is defintely boy through and through!! Some of his favorite toys are hangers, the broom, his trucks, his suitcase for gramma's house (he will carry this around the house!), any dish towels (he pretends to wipe the floor) and his newest trick is climbing! On everything!

Chuck's been trying to get out on the lake when ever he gets a chance...Tom and Maggie came up 2 weekends ago and they spent all weekend fishing- they had a great time! Didn't catch a lot, but they still had a great time. He's out fishing today so we'll see how he does :)

I've been keeping myself busy with the boys, work, book club, scrappin and I recently started a quilt class. Quilt class should be interesting since I don't even own a sewing machine or sew :) But I thought I'd try it out (I'm hoping to use my mother in laws machine)...I'm also going to walk the Gramma's 1/2 Marathon (13 miles) with some friends and sign up is in a week- so I have a little time to prepare myself for it (it's in June). I've been going to the Y and trying to keep a weekly walking goal each week. I wanted to accomplish the Marathon before I turn the big 3-0! I'll keep ya posted on my progress...

We celebrated our 5 year anniversary yesterday...I can't believe it's been 5 years already! We had plans to go out but decided to just stay in, eat some pizza and order a few movies off the PPV :) Our kind of night!

I posted some fun pics for you! Enjoy!
