July 13, 2015 By Emily 6 Comments

"5 Ways To Keep Kids Connected During a Deployment" "Duracell Teddy Bear" "Kids Books for Deployment" "Helping Kids Cope with Deployment"

While his deployments are a little bit different than a strict military deployment, it's still hard on our boys and navigating them can be tricky. Over the years we have found a few things that help them understand that no matter how far away … [Read more...]

Las Vegas Veteran’s Day 5k Race Recap

November 13, 2014 By Emily 2 Comments

"Las Vegas Run" "5k Las vegas" "Veteran's Day Run" "Veteran's Day 5k" "Las vegas Veteran's Day" "BOB Double Jogging Stroller" "Family 5K Race"

  If you looked at my race schedule (before today) you won't see the Las Vegas Veteran's Day 5k run scheduled. I've been sick for the past 2 weeks (which has totally put a damper on my half marathon training), and I hadn't planned to do another race until my first half marathon Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas.  However, my 5 year old son has been BEGGING me to let him run a race with me, so when I … [Read more...]

July 8, 2013 By Emily 11 Comments

  My husband has been deployed now for over 2.5 months.  There isn’t a day that he is gone that he doesn’t long to see the kids.  For his job as a aviation defense contractor my husband has deployed 5+ times since our first son was born. (We have actually gone through so many deployments via Air Force and this job that I have stopped counting.) When it was just the two of us, Skyping … [Read more...]
