Oberg Pond

Gwen and Frank visit & Daisy's 3rd B-Day

These pictures are all the way back from July...

Friday was a sad day for the Oberg family. Our oldest cousin Jared passed away. I was at Granny's house that day, and it was beautiful outside. My sisters and I were watching our kids play around the barn and on the tire swing and remembering all the times we did the same with our cousins. This picture (taken at Granny's- probably almost 30 yrs. ago) was posted later that night.

Last days of summer

I have a lot of blogging to catch up on. For now here is a cute picture of Daisy picking raspberries.

Lake Louise

Half Marathon

This last saturday was the 1/2 marathon race. We had seven runners from our little running club- and it was sooo much fun! Lila actually kicked some butt and won second in her age group for women. (She only lost by 5 seconds!)

These are some cute little picnic tables that Lori, Amy, Emily and I made for the kids

Running Club

This last Saturday our little running club participated in a local 5k/10k. It was a beautiful morning and so much fun!!!

I'm not posting anymore because no one comments :(
(Come on - no comments about the giant raw shrimp in Richard's mouth??!!)

Boy's Trip to Whittier

Little devil

I had to write down a few things Andy told me today before I forget.

I know it's hard to tell from this sweet little face, but sometimes Andy has quite the temper. This morning, after the third or fourth squabble with Daisy, he was in his room for a long time out. I went in to talk to him about it. He said it was really hard for him to be good when Daisy just kept doing naughty things, like taking his toys or scratching him. We talked about how it was the right thing to come and get me when things like that happen. It turns out he does know that's what he's supposed to do.

But, sometimes, he says "Satan, like... controls my mind."

I had to stop myself from laughing because he was so serious about it. I told him that it happens to everyone, and that we all make mistakes sometimes.

"But it happens to me all the time!" he says.

Later in the day at my mom's, he had a fight with Avery over something stupid, and he couldn't compose himself. He ended up in trouble again. After he decided to be nice, we were leaving my mom's room and he turns to me and says, in a very exasperated tone-

"This is exactly why I need a CTR ring!!!"

Running Club!

Our running club, Heart and Sole Runners began this morning. It was a gorgeous morning and we had so much fun! Visit the blog for more information, and we hope more people join us next Saturday!!
