A break from reality!

Harmon's have been busy! I know that you are all surprised by this:) The boys have been busy with basketball,competitive baseball,and school. Sometimes I feel that we rarely get a chance to enjoy life. I decided that we needed a vacation so we took the boys to California to Disneyland and of course to The Husky Bowl game. Guess which activity my boys loved the most....:) After our vacation I decided Drew and I needed a vacation without our kids so we went on a cruise! We almost didn't come back! It was fun to take a break from reality!

#1 Football Team!

Conner's football team came in first place! It was an exciting game and Conner played great despite his sprained finger! I have come to terms with the fact that my child loves football and will be injured often! It is hard to watch but fun also.
He is number 14 in the picture. He plays 1st string tight end and 1st string strong safety. I just love this kid!

LIFE

I have received a ton of mocking about my blog. A year ago I stated I was BACK and then never blogged again:) The only defense I have is LIFE! The Harmons are busy! We have done a ton of things this year and if I were to blog it all it would be a book. The boys are amazing! I know that I am biased but they really are! They are doing well in all things! YEAH! They are all playing baseball and two are playing football as well. Our evenings are spent at the ball park. Conner went to EFY this summer and attended his first stake dance! He is growing up to fast. Peyton is my happy go lucky kid! He likes everyone and they like him! He climbed his first 14 this year! Both my teenagers are still good to me! I am knocking on wood as I speak! Rylan has the greatest rock collection any person has ever seen and he has finally decided to do his homework with out conflict! Happy Day! Karter is 15 according to him! He thinks he is big and proves it by hanging with Conner and his friends at all events! I think he is spoiled! Drew is busy with work,church and coaching baseball with the boys. They adore him and so do I! I have been busy with girls camp,kids,work,running,biking,swimming and playing:) I just finished a triathlon with my sister Gina! It was great to come across the finish line with her! At times I feel overwhelmed with all that I have on my plate, then I realize how blessed my life has been and I feel extremely grateful. ( Gina The blog is updated)

I'm Back!

It has been a long time since my last post! I have been running around like a crazy person. I have finally realized that I will forever be at sporting events with my four boys. For the last few months we have been at the baseball park every night during the week for games, then we are at football games on the weekend! Now that baseball and football have ended, I finally have time to sit down and relax....at least until basketball starts. I have tried without success to convince my boys that they would have more skiing time if we skipped a season of basketball, but they are die hards. Here are some videos of the boys in their sports!

The Train Ride to NO PLACE SPECIAL!

I took the boys on a Union Pacific Train Ride the other day. I felt it was long and boring, but my boys felt like they had won the lottery! They were able to sit on the very top, so they could see everything. It is funny how easy they are to please!

WHAT DO YOU DO IN THE SUMMER TIME?

Summer is here! My summer is filled with boys,baseball and fun!

RYLAN

Rylan is my middle child. He often displays the characteristics of a middle child....Nothing is fair, no one likes me, I have to do everything! Although he is in this unfortunate position in our family, he also displays greatness! He does not enjoy video games or television, he would rather go on an adventure then sit on the couch. He loves nature, rocks and scientific things are his passion. He loves sports and does well in school. Rylan often writes me messages on his chalk board in his room, the last one said " Happy Mothers Day Mom and Happy birthday, you grow up so fast! Love Rylan." Even though my sweet boy feels he often gets the short end of the stick, he is truly loved and appreciated for all his gifts and talents!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RY!

RACING......SOMETIMES YOUR BODY SAYS NO!

I did a race in Moab, I love this race! I was excited, prepared and ready for a fun day with my friends.......but it wasn't meant to be! I knew by mile 4 that the race was going to be rough for me. I started letting things get into my head before the race started, because I took a nasty fall on some rocks. That did not help my mental strategy! I can't say if it was physical sickness, mental or both but I was not feeling good at all! I luckily had a sweet love friend who ran with me and kept me going! At the end, my time was not bad considering I wanted to die! I don't remember much of the race because I felt like I was going to pass out throughout most of it, but I do remember My friend Carla grabbing my hand at the finish line and telling me to smile for the camera! It is all about how you look doing it! I love running, I love being social with my girls, and even though I had a bad race, I can't wait to do it again!

WHO NEEDS A BED?

My sweet love Karter Tre' just turned 4 years old! For all of you who are wondering, he is doing really well and I think he has fully recovered from his illness! I have so many fun things to say about this sweet boy, but since I don't have all day I thought I would post one thing about him that makes us all smile! No matter where he is or what time of day it is, when Karter is tired he will fall asleep! He has fallen asleep mid sentence, during dinner, sitting up, anywhere! My big boys love to take pictures of him while he is sleeping, so we will dedicate his birthday blog to his strange sleeping habits!! We love you sweet boy!
