Raw, Raw, Raw

We are working on incorporating more raw meals into our diet and as I suggested on Chauni's blog, I think we should all take one really good raw recipe and post them to our blogs. This can help us all add more nutrients into our children's diets. Here is my chosen dish... zucchini pasta and marinara sauce.

Its a Wonderful Life!

Cameron Made Knives

I know this guy who is the master at everything he tries his hand at. This is one of his many talents, making knives. Aren't they beautiful?!?! I always tell him how annoying it is for people like me who are mediocre at everything they do to watch how easily it is for these select people to pick up on stuff.

But of course, I love my father-in law anyway! He is amazing and is very willing to share his knowledge and talents with any and everybody (on his terms of course- cause that is the way he works) These knives of course are after years of practice. Ron Cameron's Cameron made knives have been sold worldwide and have been featured in Knives Illustrated and Blade Magazine and Ron has been included in the Knife Makers Encyclopedia.

Flipping Business

I should have taken before pics of this stuff because most of these dressers are things that if you saw at a yardsale, you probably wouldn't take home with you even if they gave them to you for free. I have done more but this gives the gist of what I do.

My Half

Chauni had been bugging me to post pics of my half marathon so here they are. What made it difficult is that I had been training in Nampa and Kuna through farm land so I was running where I could see miles ahead of me. The Fit for Life half marathon was on a greenbelt where I couldn't see where I was going at all. It made it drag on forever. I remember passing mile marker 2 and thinking WHAT?!!? ONLY 2 MILES?!!? I am in trouble. But I turned off my brain and kept-a-trucking and managed to complete my 13.1 miles.

The finish line was the home plate at Hawk's Memorial Stadium in Boise. Everytime we drive past there now Leavitt says, "Look mom, that is where you run." He was so impressed with me. Which is funny because he doesn't grasp the entire concept of what I was doing but he sure was proud nonetheless. He is so dang cute.

Our little buckaroo

This is Leavitt's favorite song. It is Rodney Atkin's "I've been watching you". He has even got to see it in concert!

This is just us being horrible parents, waking up Leavitt in a cruel sort of fashion. Our kids are always such good sports.

Tred in charge

I am pretty sure the first sentence out of Tred's mouth was, "Leavitt! Get down now!" A little muffled to be sure but it still sounds just like it. I guess he has heard me yell that at Leavitt enough times. He was yelling at him on his own before I grabbed the camera.
