I Ran the Half Marathon!!!

I did it!!! I ran the Salt Lake Half Marathon and I am still alive to tell about it. J/k!!! It was so much fun! I ran the race in 2 hours and 8 mins!!! The course was awesome, it was a beautiful day, and it was an awesome experience!!!

This is part of my cute little cheering section! Greg and the kids came to cheer me in, along with my mom and sister! Thanks for the support everyone! I will definitely do another race, anyone want to do one with me?

Funny Thing, Kind of!!!

The other night I went in Cole and Halley's room to cover them for the night. I went in there and saw there beds empty. For a split second I panicked, I asked Greg where the kids were. (He had put them to bed that night because I was at Young Women's.) so then I looked under the bed and there they were. We decided to leave them there, they slept through the night and all was well. The next night they decided to do it again! So I got out the camera and I had to take some pictures.

Well, I got them a blanket so that they would be a little warmer, covered them up and went to bed. A few hours later we hear Halley starting to cry and Cole is saying daddy, daddy! So Greg and I are like oh no! We go in there Cole and Halley are still under the bed and now Halley has puked all over the floor, and pillows got some on Cole it is all over Her, man it was a mess! So at 1:30am we are getting the kids cleaned up and the floor cleaned up, then we put them back to bed in their own beds. I guess the bright side is that they could just get in their beds and go back to sleep because they were still clean!!! (Halley had a rough night after that, poor girl) They haven't tried to sleep under the bed since, and hopefully they won't!!!

Our Tiger!

Halley went to preschool the other day and for one of the kids birthday, his mom came and painted all the kids faces. Halley loved it so much I had to convince her to take it off when she went to bed. The kids were having fun acting like tigers, pouncing and roaring, so I thought it would be something fun to share.

Happy Birthday Paige!!!

Well, we now have a 2 year old!!! Time really flies by doesn't it. We celebrated Paige's birthday this year by taking her to the Kangaroo Zoo! She loved it!!! She invited some of her favorite friends to go with her. The K. Zoo was fun, and definitely wore the kids out. We were there a few hours then came home and had some pizza, then some of the family came over for cake and ice cream. I think that it turned out great and she had a really fun day!!! (I tried to get her to take a nap before we went to the K. Zoo, and she just layed in her bed and talked and sang for a while and then finally she started saying, "I had a little nap mom," over and over and so I got her up and we went to the Kangaroo Zoo.)

Paige sleeping!!!

The other night Greg went in to cover Paige with blankets for the night, he came and got me and said you have to come and see Paige. This is what I found. She was turned completely to the opposite end than what I layed her down on. She was surrounded buy all her animals, and was laying on all her blankets, with her head under her pillow. I thought it was so cute I had to post it. When we put her down at night she tells us what animals that she needs to sleep with. She likes 2 carebears, 2 bunny rabbits, Winnie the Pooh, and some dolls, and I am not sure what else she had in there with her. We sing a few primary songs when we lay her down for bed, and lately she like to have her carebears sing some songs. She will say "bears sing popcorn." So I will have the bears sing her a song or two, then I sing her one more song and go out, then she goes to sleep (after singing herself a few more songs and talking to her bed pals). We never know what we will find when we go in and cover her for the night.
