embrace the camera...

and this is why i embrace the camera every week.

not because i think i'm cute.

not because i think my kids are cute (even though they are).

but because we aren't always going to be around.

and it's important to document moments...memories...our life."

what you have captured on film is captured forever...

it remembers the little things...

long after you have forgotten everything."

embracing the camera this week with my coworkers...

blessed to work with some 

awesomeness peeps and

we are a hard working bunch!

but in-between the madness and chaos

we manage to squeeze in

 some fun and silly times...

like joana wanting to lift me up...

pshaw! 

she's as light as a feather and she thinks she can

carry me? 

do you see the pain in her face as she tries?

and me and kelly

with blue apples stuck all over us...

and the office crew 

practicing our different yoga poses...

you see kylie back there?

the blonde behind the blonde?

she's totally concentrating 

and taking this waaaay too seriously ; ).

"we don't remember days; we remember moments"...

good times...

embrace the camera...

me and maddie...we've got cupcake love...enjoying another cupcake...from our favorite little cupcake place in town!

changing leaves, changing lives...

I ran my second 10K last saturday for

Hope Cancer Ministries...

"Kate's Race for Hope"

with Nelson and Maddie...

It was a very chilly 38 degree morning...

Maddie all decked out...

this was the trail where i rolled my ankle...

i was at the 2 mile mark...

i was not going to stop so i pushed through

and kept going even with the pain

because i had to finish...

i really had to finish...

because my goal for this year was to run 

and complete two 10k races

by the end of the year...

and i really wanted to get it done....

despite the rolled ankle and the very chilly morning...the trails and beautiful scenery...made for a good 10k run experience.
crossing this off my bucket list:1st 10k run2nd 10 run
now time to think about possibly doing a half marathonfor next year's goal.

my girls have the bieber fever!

here they are embracing the camera with their life size

cardboard cutout of j.b.!

and might i add they were both very dissappointed last sunday night...

whilst watching the billboard music awards 

jb got up, turned to his girlfriend selena gomez and gave her a kiss!

not only were these two quite unhappy about it

but for sure there were a gazillion more girls feeling the same pain : ).

oh, j.b. you're such the heartbreaker!

i love, love, love my kiddos...

we have fun and

we have a great time together...

we laugh...

blast the radio in the car and

sing to the tunes really loud and dance while driving...

but... 

we also argue...

say things to each other that we regret...

hurt each others feelings from time to time...

and get on each other's nerves...

can you imagine that?

cause we sure look like such happy campers in this picture : ).
