Peytons first friend Sleepover!

This weekend was full of fun and was way busy!!

Saturday morning Peyton and i ran a 5 miler race... at the end i got peyton out of the stroller and let him run the finish line, he was so proud and got a medal! it was a pretty morning down dryfork and was a refreshing run!

Saturday night we had some friends over for dinner and as it got later maria and I decided Kolby could spend the night! The boys had such a blast... they really enjoyed getting up together and playing like crazy!

Sunday we had coles sister and mom over for a BBQ and peyton got to play with his cousins for hours.. we had so much fun with all our friends and family this weekend, thanks everyone for such a great time! and i think peyton really enjoyed it too... he told me he was ready for bed about 6 on sunday night;)

13.1 x 2

I DID IT!!!! i ran two 1/2 marathons in two consecutive saturdays... i think i must be crazy! The first one i ran was the Salt Lake 1/2, it was way fun, and such a good experiance for a first race, i enjoyed myself and got across the finish line :) The second one i went down south to hurricane and ran with my sister sara, it was great to have someone next to you! She had been told it was a down hill race, and i think we both agree we dis-like that person, there were some narly hills.. but we finished. It was hard, but we ran it!!! Thanks sara for always helping me get off the couch to train when we just didnt feel like it, its amazing how good of running partners we are 400 miles apart! love ya.

Now i get home and i check my e-mail, and i got picked from a random draw for the NIKE WOMENS MARATHON in Oct., Im so excited for it! 26.2 miles will definitely kill me but i have the whole summer to train.. bring it on!!! cant wait to cross that finish line!!!!

Weekend Project #3

My Pantry totally needed an overhaul.. and this is how it looks now! after some lowes Canvas totes on clearance.. and some much needed TLC this is it!!!

Weekend Project #2

first off.. it was my idea haha!!! i have this awesome bird house i got from my sister in-law jalee for my bridal shower last year and i have wanted to do something cool with it since... so this morning me and cole decided to go up the mountain and find the "perfect" tree to mount it onto... we found it and the pictures show my hot husband cutting it down, he was such a good sport .. even sinking in three foot of snow to get it!!! love him!!!

him working wonders with his chain saw

finished product.. after some quikcrete and some work!!

-i gotta still find a small house for the other truck hangin off!

Weekend Project #1

So friday before cole got home from work, i thought i would get some gallons of paint and re-do our new shed.. we both hated the green... so i hope you think it turned out good, we definitely like it better!!!



BEFORE: (took off one shutter before i remembered to take pics)

AFTER:

now it totally matches our house!

Best Friends + MUD= lots of fun!!!

Two weekends ago, Peyton invited his friend Kolby over to play, these two play so good together and are so much fun to watch. Kolby brought his power-wheels over and they practically ran both there trucks dead! they also found a mud hole.... and being little boys they just couldnt stay out of it! Here are some pics of the "Best Buds"

The "much needed" update!!

I have been so busy it seems... but i couldnt tell ya with what if you asked! This last month has been so much fun, My awesome sister sara came to visit from down south, so a good week and a 1/2 was spent with her and her kids!!! i miss them so much when they're not here!

My little pride and joy PEYTON has been such a blessing, he has been such a good boy and melts my heart every day! He is constantly making me laugh my head off! He has been king of the "one liners", for example... when i said it was time for dinner last night he stood up on his chair and said "Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls its time to eat" or anytime time he gets excited he yells "oh yeah, oh yeah, go peyton, its me birt-day!" I just can get over how cute he is!!

Another Big part of my Month has been the passing away of an amazing, great person.. REAMA, she was the best aunt anyone could ask for! she was a great influnence in anyones life that knew her!!! I love her dearly and she will be missed! my prayers are with her, her girls and with greg! I love them all so much! She is my hero for fighting canser as hard as she did! Rest in Peace Reama, we love you!!!!

I thought i would post a few pictures off of my camera i have taken recently.. even though i have been bad at keeping my camera on me... here are a few!

This Picture i had to sneek to get it, I was cleaning the kitchen when i realized peyton wasnt beside me (which he usually doesnt leave my side.. he likes to help me do everything, and i love that) so i went to go see what he was up to and this is what i saw.. he was in his room READING... it was so cute to hear his version of the story, as he saw it :)

Last weekend Cole was cravin crab legs, so we made an evening of it and invited his sister Raemi and her kids over for dinner... Peyton and his cousin Karadee were headed downstairs to play... and since our basement is unfinished, the kids have to wear shoes cause the concrete puts holes in there socks... so this is what the Two of them had on there feet.. they thought they were so funny to have there socks on with flip flops!!
