Mindless Meanderings of Schroedawg

 We're 3 weeks into 2022 and so far, other than work related stress and routine, we got back into the swing of things relatively quickly. So here we are, enjoying life and making goals for what the year has in store.  A few of our goals for this year: 1. Maddy--to run a little more and do a couple races with mom to keep up her endurance for soccer.  2. Jax-to be kind and work on jujustu and t-ball.  3. Brad-to hike at least once a month and camp a lot more than last year, get the boat up and running, be mindful of our spending habits, and to be present more.  4. Me: To read 1 book a month, to write more, to take a picture a day, and to do one video/family film a month, do 2 sprint Triathlons this summer, and 1 1/2 marathon.  We started it off right with a camping adventure to Salt Creek, our January hike up Striped Peak Loop, and the first film done highlighting the adventure. I think the best part was waking up to a tsunami advisory thanks to a volcano off...

 Christmas this year was a trek to Wyoming. My mother-in-law, Sue, came with us, and we ventured to spend the time with the people we love: my folks, my sister and brother-in-law, and my nephew. It was perfect in so many ways. We got snow on Christmas Eve which the kids went ecstatic for. We walked the terraces and enjoyed the semi-cold Wyoming winter weather (pretty mild, in comparison to other years). We also loved spending time with our cherished family and extended family.                                                         Jaxson trying out his drone, which he promptly lost on Christmas Day. Sad face.  Deciding who was taller: Nate or Maddy. Aunt Dolly and I The second half of our vacation we ventured to Togwotee Lodge and Jackson Hole. I was so excited to get back to my little slice of  heaven on earth. I love that area...
