Larsen children - 2010

Well, with the blending of our family, the Larsen children were subjected to the annual "take your picture on the porch on the first day of school" torture. Smile for the camera.

Hawaiian Punch

Can our "stinky guy" really be a Junior? Wow. Time flies. Jake is looking forward to this year in kicking butt on the lacrosse field and in AP US. Jake is the tallest sibling and it won't surprise me if he gets as tall as me. We shall see.

Yeah! It's high-tops time!

Well, another year is starting. My princess is growing up. This year she was so excited to hear high-tops to school. I can't imagine that someone that likes flip-flops and no-lace shoes wants to wear them. Oh well, we shall see how long they last. Olive was excited for the new school year to start and see all of her friends again.

College bound!

In keeping the tradition of "first day of school" posts, I'm posting this picture of the newest college student in the family. I cannot believe that JJ is this old. We are so excited for him and wish him the best. He will be attending Southern Utah University where he will be double majoring in Theater Design and Civil Engineering. I should write more and maybe I will later. Good luck, JJ!

Two Thousand Ten???

Holy Moly! Is it really 2010? For some odd reason (okay, it wasn't that odd, I need to write a report and I'm stalling) I was checking out this blog - "Why I'm Here". I have pretty much let this die for the past several months. I'm completely addicted to Facebook. If you are reading this blog and you are NOT my "friend" then hop on over and send me an invite. I'm still looking to pass up my son with the number of "friends". There is so much I could say so much I could write. One thing I can write about is a couple of my newest toys. A couple of months ago I got a new phone, the Blackberry Tour. I thought I would never own or need a smartphone but I love it. My second toy was a Christmas present, the Garmin Forerunner 310XT. I haven't had much of a chance to use this new toy because a couple of weeks ago I broke my FREAKIN FOOT! I thought it would be fun to play in the Winterfest hockey tournament and I was having a blast until I took a puck to my right foot. The 5th metatarsal bone will need 8 weeks to heal. This completely SCREWS my training for my half-Ironman and Ironman races coming up but what are you going to do? Anyhow, I need to do something else but at least there is a blog post for the new year. Change is in the air. What I need to do is do another post here soon and introduce the love of my life. That's all, signing off for another night.
