Fitness and Family - 2 of my F's!

Fitness is one of my favorite things. It means a lot to me, actually. I recently had a 23 year old watch the kids for me for a few days. Her comment was "No wonder you look great, you are so active! I don't know how you do it!" And I had another friend tell me "You must be so fit!" I love the idea of this and the values I am instilling in my children.

On a weekly basis, my boys love to golf.
 They ride their bikes to school 5 days a week. That means that I walk to school with Hunter, again with Aspen, and a third time with Landon. Then I walk to school and they ride their bikes home at the end of the day. I end up walking 6-8 miles a day because of it. And I'm always pushing a stroller (or a double!)
 Walking Aspen to school. She likes to walk or run to school. Sometimes we run while holding hands.
 Hunter is psyched to ride his bike home.
 Aspen has dance lessons - her favorite. Next year she will do soccer as well.
 The whole family - 4 kids, 2 dogs and 2 crazy (in love) parents. Some mornings, we all walk.
 Baby yoga. Even the baby gets exercise. She goes to a #MyGym class every Friday with Daddy. She needs structured exercise too!

The boys have soccer, too. I think team sports are important for many more things than just the exercise.  Strategizing, team work, sharing the glory, supporting a team and many more positives come from being part of a team. Landon is quite a soccer star. So proud of him!







 Look at what good role models they are for this little one!
 And here is Mr. Hunter with his cute team.  I'm so proud of how active we are with all of our children. I think fitness is one of the most important things we can teach our kids, and ingraining it in them while they are young is one of the best things we can do. I hope they watch us and learn from our example.  Coming up: skiing, ice skating, tubing and sledding together!
