We did it!

We have been gone most of the summer to either Utah or California. This past weekend we were up in Utah for a couple of events. The first, was.... the Hobble Creek Half Marathon. My friend Maressa and I had been planning to run this after both of us had our babies. A week before we were supposed to run, she got injured and couldn't run anymore. I was so sad! Lucky for me, I have the most awesome brother ever!! 13 miles, NO TRAINING, NO PROBLEM! Yes, he ran the whole thing with me with no training at all. And we crossed the finish line in great time too! We had such a fun time running the race. Hopefully we will find another one to run soon!!

The second, was my brother Chris's farewell. He is leaving in one week to Chile. He is such a great guy and will be an awesome missionary. We will all miss him a ton, but are so proud of his decision to go and serve. The kids will really miss him too!~
This weekend we are heading back up to Utah again! I know we are crazy. We just had a few things planned, that had to be rescheduled. Like.... this sweet girls' baby blessing!!

She is an absolute doll! I am loving having her in our family. She is such a smiley, happy little girl. In the bottom picture she looks a little scared. She was smiling, and then every time I snapped the picture, she stopped. One day soon I need to get a really nice camera so this won't happen!
We planned to do her blessing in Utah the last weekend in August, since both families will be up there. It's pretty good timing, since the first BYU game falls on the same weekend. You know Scott is so excited and can't wait!
He already has the kids trained too!

And while I have a picture of Tyler, I want to post a few of my NEW LITTLE KINDERGARTNER. He started yesterday, which was really difficult for me. I was in tears, even though he is only gone for 2 1/2 hours a day. I was having such a hard time with this change. I like my kids home with me, and am just not ready for them to get old so fast. But, today was the second day and it was much easier. I am assuming it will just get easier and easier! Yesterday he wasn't quite sure of the change, but today he was happy when he came home. He is such a good kid, that as long as he is happy and loving it, I am happy!
I will post a few pictures of the blessing and game when we get back. I just really wanted to update our blog. It has been forever, but we have also been gone a lot! Now that school has started, our travel plans will have to change!!

Your little baby is darling! I can't believe how big she is now. I think she looks similar to Haley. I also can't believe Ty is in school! All these changes for you. How did you train for a half marathon when you just had a baby? Maybe I should make that a goal for me after I have my baby...you'll have to give me advice on how.

Way to train the kids to love BYU. I plan on doing the same thing. haha.

Adorable kids Angie. I think Bailie will miss Chris as much as your kids. They really bonded at the reunion. He is a great kid and will make an awesome missionary. School does get easier, especially when you see how much they learn and how much fun they have.

Your kids are getting so big!!! I can't believe that Tyler is in kindergarten. We missed you at the reunion, but it sounds like you have had enough traveling for a while. Have so much fun with that cute baby of yours.

Congrats on doing the half marathon. That's awesome. I need to get myself a treadmill and get into shape now that I have no more excuses...the baby is out and I'm not sick and tired anymore. We're blessing Luke next Sunday (9/7) and wish you could be here. I can't believe that Caleb and Tyler are now in school. You really need to move back here so they can go to school together.

You look AMAZING for having just had your third.....i can't wait to get the extra poundage off i gained from the prego and get to run again --- something to shoot for -- thanks for inspiring me! I actually thought of you during the delivery when they told me i had to have the forceps and i was hemorrhaging -- it scared me to death -- i am just glad my little boy is safe and i am too now!!! the things that we go thru to bring these sweet kids into the world --- your little girl is ADORABLE and how fun to bless her with family around! keep updating your blog - i love reading what is going on!!!
