Running and Winning

So Greg has been running again. He probably started about a month ago. We used to go to Bryce Canyon every year for him to run the Rim Run, which was 5 miles. It was a nice vacation and he would train during the summer when he had a break from school. Well now that the kids have gotten older, he is going back to running. It has been great to be a part of it. Last minute, he found about a run here in Spanish Fork. It was either the 5k, which is 3 miles, or a half marathon. Well Greg decided to do the 5k. He will eventually get to the half marathon, just not now. So we had the kids ready to go by 700am. Usually there isn't a problem getting them up. They have been waking up early, but today, they decided they wanted to sleep. We got them up and going and we were there for Greg. They got to the play in the park and we enjoyed pancakes and waffles while we were waiting. It was a fun morning and now everyone, but me, is zonked out.




Greg did great! He got 6th overall and 2nd in his age group. He ran it in 22 minutes. For me, I would've ran just a mile in 22 minutes. He did so awesome and me and the kids are so proud of him.

Silly Billy!

Since Caden has started school, I have been able to spend more time with her before I put her down for her nap. Man, this little lady is a blast! I love this girl. She makes me laugh all the time.

Crazy Weekend

So last weekend was a crazy one. It started with Greg working graveyard and we had a yardsale at 730am Saturday morning. We had the yardsale until 1230. We had a princess party at 2, but we didn't get there until 230. We had a family party at 5 in Salt Lake so we had to leave by 4, but I needed to be home by 330 to pack. Both kids took a nap on our way to the family party because we were stuck in traffic so we were actually an hour late to the family party. We got there at 6. The kids played outside and in the hot tub with their cousins and finally got to bed at 10pm. We spent the night at my in-laws. At 1030, Greg and I decided to take advantage of being there and went out to Chili's. We got home at 1130...exhausted. Kids wook up at 730am. We got ready, packed, and left to go home around 1030. We got home around 1130. The house was a disaster so we cleaned. At around 1230, I made lunch and Greg went for a run. He came home, we had lunch. We all had to shower and get ready for the day because we had a baby blessing to go to at 230. After the baby blessing, we came home and changed and met everybody from the blessing at a park for lunch. We got there at 315. We stayed until 415. Lola fell asleep once we got home. Caden wanted to play Lego Batman, and Greg and I decided to sleep. Caden came into my room at 6 to sleep. He fell asleep. I woke up. Lola came in to my room and laid on my bed and fell back asleep. Greg woke up to play Lego batman. I made dinner. Greg and I had dinner. 830pm, we put Caden's jammies on and he went back down for bed. Lola woke up, but didn't want to go back to bed. We watched Planet Earth until 10pm and put Lola down for bed. Greg and I were in bed by 1030pm. Monday started at 6am.

First Day of School

It was Caden's first day of preschool yesterday. This is his second year and he is going 3 times a week instead of 2. He loves it and can't wait to go again the next day. I just have a hard time with Lola coming home with me after dropping him off. When is it going to be her turn? Soon.

Birthday and Anniversary Celebration!

I turned the big 2-6 and Greg and I have been married for 6 years. It was a wonderful weekend. My in-laws watched the kids while Greg and I spent two night in Park City. We had a good time eating out, shopping, getting a couples massage, watching movies, and just chilling. 6 years has gone by so fast and it has been the best with Greg by my side. xoxo love you babe

I LOVE YOU SAN FRAN!

Oh how I love you San Fran. I love your food, your weather, your location to beaches, your large hills that I often climbed, your transportation system that I thought I got, but I didn't. I love your city feel, your sailboats everywhere on the water, your wonderful and clean public bathrooms, your colorful homes on the streets, your architecture, and your palm trees. I love your desserts, your 90 min. wait for your famous Ice Cream Soda Shop, your oh-so-many jaywalkers, and your many wonderful stores, but oh-so-high sales tax. I love your early risers on a Saturday morning, the runners on the piers that seem to run all day, the way there is a Starbucks in every corner and a cafe in between. I love the way English was the foreign language and the way I could never find someone who actually lived there for recommendations. I loved how there were people that were rude and didn't help a tourist get around, but get us even more lost and I loved how there were so many friendly strangers that would tell you to get off the bus because you were on the wrong one. Oh I love you San Fran. I love the memories I have from the moment I got there to when I had to leave. I hope to see you soon and I will let you know the details of my trip to the amazing San Fran.

Spotlight on Lola

Terrible Twos. It comes with every toddler. Every stage has its ups and downs. Right now, hands down, I would have to say that Lola is at that stage and is by far my favorite age with her. She makes me laugh like crazy, she is so smart, when you meet her, you can't help but adore her. When you are on her good side, it makes you feel good that she likes you. She is so special and our family would not be complete without her. I love you, baby girl!
