Dedication

This will be a short post... mainly because it's late and I'm tired.  Life has been awesome and exhausting lately.  I love this age with Clayton but I'm still trying to figure out the mom/wife/work/life balance and that is so tiring.  In a nutshell, I've been trying to get out and enjoy Tahoe more lately.  I've been trying to resume some of my pre-pregnancy hobbies and although it was a challenge in the beginning (because it adds ONE more thing to do during my seemingly already packed day), I can honestly say it's been helping my mental state.  I need to get out in nature and soak up the beauty around me while hopefully also squeezing in a workout (because multi-tasking is the only way this momma can get things done). 

This past week I got out for a run, a paddle, and a mountain bike ride.  Hallelujah!

WE RAN TO THE BEACH AND BACK TO THE CAR BEFORE
THE STORM! 

PUSHED BABY IN THE STROLLER AND HE ACTUALLY NAPPED!

DOGGIE GOT A GOOD SWIM AND RUN

SHHH... THERE'S A SLEEPING BABE IN THAT STROLLER! 

ON THE RUN BACK TO THE CAR, Z FOUND
A STICK (IT WAS PRACTICALLY A DOWNED TREE). 
HE TRIED HARD TO CARRY IT BUT JUST HAD
TO GIVE UP. 

AH YES.  FINALLY. 

BEAUTIFUL, PEACEFUL MORNING

JUST TESTING THE HIKING BACKPACK
(A SWEET HAND-ME-DOWN FROM A CO-WORKER)

HE'S ALMOST READY FOR A HIKE! 

In Clayton news: 

He's been eating solids and loving it!  

YUMMY OATMEAL CEREAL. 

IT'S EVERYWHERE BUT HE SEEMS TO LOVE IT

MESSY SWEET POTATOES
