It's Official...

...I am going back to school! I have decided to pursue a career as a Medical Assistant. I have been thinking about this for some time now and have decided to go for it! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Heck I haven't been in school since 1995...it will take some adjusting to get back into the studying mindset!

My hope is to get into a Family Practice or Pediatric clinic when I am done, we'll see what happens!

Memorial Day

So I was looking around on the Des Moines Register website and the local news websites for Memorial Day services and all I found was either a thing down at Vets Auditorium, a service in Ankeny at one of the parks, or a parade and such in Indianola. Thought there would be more going on as I was hoping to bring Alexa to something to get her started on why we have Memorial Day.

Maybe I'll drive out to Greenfield and see the Freedom Rock. We'll see.

Check out this tribute and then say a silent prayer for all who have served and are serving for our freedom!

I've had a great day today! Woke up to a little girl quietly lying in bed saying "Mommy....Mommy", she doesn't get out of bed until we tell her too...I know, Crazy!! So we watched some Playhouse Disney together, made some pancakes, and just hung out. After Kyle was done with his bike ride, he took Alexa and headed to meet his parents for lunch. I got a good 20 mile bike ride in. I originally was going to ride by myself, but met up with Kristin and Julie V on the trail, so they turned around and rode with me. A little relaxing and some grocery shopping to round out the day. I nice relaxing day!!

Happy Easter

Coloring Eggs on Thursday night.

Woke up Sunday morning, had a little Easter egg hunt through the house and then got ready for church.

We even got some attitude during the egg hunt.

All ready for church, but won't pose for a picture, too busy playing with the little Disney Princesses that she got from the Easter Bunny.

Hope Everyone had a Happy Easter!

We are still here...

The Sedore family has been busy! With the weather getting nicer and just day to day activities, it seems like the days are flying by!

Kyle is busy with his job at Hummels Nissan and trying to get more cycling in. I'm also keeping him busy working on getting my bikes ready for the riding season. I plan on commuting to work some this summer, so I'm having him build up a commuter bike for me.

Alexa has finished 2 sessions of swim lessons and has 2 more sessions before summer. I'm hoping to get her to the pool a couple of times a week to play and get her swimming some more without lessons over the summer, then get her back into the Y lessons in the fall.
She has also been riding her bike already this year. Saturday she gets to go with Dad to pick out a new bike/trike. She has a Specialized Hotwalk that she loves to ride and practice balancing. But her little trike for pedaling is definitely too small...her poor little knees the other night were hitting the handlebars!

I'm getting ready for my frist sprint triathlon on June 7th. I've been running over my lunch hour and it's amazing how much I've improved in the last 2 weeks. I'm actually getting more excited for this season.
I've joined the All9Yards Womens Cycling team as well. I mainly joined to get involved with some more group cycling rides, but have decided to add some bike races to my schedule this summer. We'll see how it goes. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time!

My goal is to be better about grabbing the camera when we are out and about. Whether it's playing with Alexa, or out on one of the many bike rides. I'm hoping to catch some good shots of our busy lifestyle and get them posted for all to see!

Have a GREAT rest of March!
