Running With My Dad and A Surprise!

Last Saturday, after the best hair-cutting experience of my life,the boys and I drove to the airport and picked up…… My dad! He flew out to drive his new convertible back to North Dakota.
The roads were a little icy in our neighborhood, but he was able to take it out for a spin before spending the afternoon with me and the boys. He played Nerf war with the boys and they were surprised at how good he was. Possibly a little scared too when he told them that his brothers played a version that involved 20 gauge shotguns.
After Seth got home from work, we brought the boys out for their first Hibachi experience.
Tucker saw flames at the grill across from us, so he grabbed my sunglasses to be ready for our turn.
They loved having food and eggshells thrown at them.I think the shades were a good move. There was a lot of fire!Dad and I headed out for a run the next morning before he left for home  We ended up going further and a little slower than we originally planned, but it was fun to spend some time with my dad. We plotted and planned for the Wild West Relay this summer. Both of my sisters and one of my brother-in-laws are going to run it with us and I’m super excited to share my favorite parts of Colorado with my family!Totally unrelated to anything, but I am beyond obsessed with these cheese crisps from Costco. As in: Cannot.Stop.Eating.
This morning was a super easy 3 miles outside with Ruger. Can you believe that he’s already getting gray around his nose? Laying on the couch all day must be more stressful than I thought ;).We ended up walking a lot because of the amount of ice on the streets and sidewalks. The cold weather is nice for running, but spring and summer cannot come fast enough!
And, finally, a fun little package arrived in the mail yesterday and I can’t wait to show you what’s inside! Stay tuned!
