OK - I guess this blogging thing is growing on me, because I am going to make one more post. I just wanted to let everyone know what an amazing wife I have. She is such a fantastic mother and wife! I love to watch her with Shaylie. Shaylie loves her mom sooooooo much, and it's not hard to see why. One of my favorite things that I hear Heather say, and she says it alot, is "I just love that little pook so much - she makes me so happy!" Luckily for me, Heather and Shaylie both make me sooooo happy! Thanks babe for being so patient with me. You are my life and I love you so much!

Welcome Home Jason!

Here we are at the airport waiting for Jason to get off the plane.

We waited,

and waited,

and waited some more,

When is he coming??

Yay! Jason finally emerged 40 min after the plane landed. It took so long for him to get off the plane and come down the stairs that the battery on the camcorder died, so we didn't get any video footage.

Jason got to meet Shaylie and Isaiah for the first time. I can't tell but I think Shaylie really likes him, but Isaiah doesn't look like he is too sure :)


After the airport we went to Olive Garden.

Shaylie apparently really likes lemons, thats about all we could get her to eat.

Hobble Creek Half Marathon 13.1

On Aug 23rd I ran the Hobble Creek Half Marathon with my little sister Emily. It was so much fun, even though we lost each other at the start of the race. I finished at 2hr 9min and Emily came in at 2hr and 32min. She did a fantastic job. She hardly trained at all, she is so athletic!




Joe and Shaylie were at the finish line to help cheer us on. It is always so fun to see them at the end. I think it helps me run a little faster when I know they are waiting for me. :) My sister Angie and my cousins Camie and Morgan also were there at the finish line. I dont know why I didn't get a picture with them. Oh well, next time.




Here is Emily running to the finish, hurry Em run Faster!!!



We had so much fun, I hope we can do it again next year!

Picking it!

Shaylie has decided that it is funny to stick her finger in her nose

She even convinced Ellie to try it.

Those two are so silly :)

The 24th of July

I realize this post is very late in coming, but it was such a fun day I felt like I had to post it.



This was the Speedy Spaniard 10k race in Spanish Fork, UT. I ran it with Jenny, a friend from work and Jenny's sister-in-law. (I can't remember her name). We had a lot of fun and we will probably run next again year! Joe and Shaylie were at the finish line to cheer us on.



Then we went boating at Utah Lake with; Chad & Elise, Brian & Heather, Adam, and Deb.



Brian let Shaylie drive the boat. She did an excellent job!



Just hanging out enjoying the ride

Shaylie was brave enough to get in the water, She didn't want to get out when we were ready to go again. What a cutie!



She even went swimming with Joe.



She didn't really enjoy wearing that stupid life jacket. I think she is still a little to small for it.



Shaylie finally pooped out on Adams shoulder. She had soooo much fun. Im glad we took her with us and didn't leave her with the babysitter.



24th of July Bar-b-Q


Then we went to Joe's parents house and had a bar-b-q with his family. Seth and Jenna came with Isaiah.

Shaylie just loves that little guy!

She isn't being mean, She just has a weird ear fetish. Isaiah doesn't seem to mind.
