Happy 30th Birthday to Me!!!!!!

Wait a second didn't I just have my 29th birthday in October? I did, but I have to plan my 30th birthday present way far in advance. Yup, my 30th birthday present to me is to run a marathon. Go Me! I am serious about this one and I need all the help I can get. Send encouragement and lots of it! The goal is the Salt Lake Marathon on April 19, which means I have 5 months to train. April 19th also happens to be the day before Coach's first birthday. Yes, that means I ran a marathon before my baby turns one! Seriously, go me!

In order to run this marathon I have to be accountable to someone or a whole lot of someone's. This means my blog may become a narrative of my training. Sorry in advance, but stick with me. This is where the encouragement comes in - I am accountable to you my blogging public. Thanks in advance because when I do run this marathon it will be the best present in the whole world and just think you can be contributors to my success. Go us!

As a special feature to my blog I've added a marathon countdown. Check it out, it is on the right-hand side of the page under all of our cute family pictures.

Mouse in the house?

When big bites are taken out of your BIG block of cheese it makes you wonder if there is a mouse in the house?



Nope - it's just Ashie! I turned my back on him for a second to get a knife to cut the cheese, I guess he couldn't wait that long and helped himself to a couple yummy bites.



Cheese anyone?

Fall fun!

Things to do in the fall before it becomes too cold.

Seriously the weather has been perfect and we have been having a lot of fun. Even cleaning the windows was fun. Well at least the results were totally worth it. You all will be envious of my clean windows when you spend the winter looking out your filthy windows.

Comparison Pictures

For fun I thought I would post comparison pictures of the boys. The pictures are of the boys at roughly 6 months old. Can you tell them apart? I can, but I am wondering if it is because I am there mother. You be the judge.

Weigh-in

I am finally posting Coaches six month stats, now that he is seven months old. To make it more interesting I thought I would post Ashies six months stats for comparison

Coach Six Months
Height 28.2"
Weight: 18.4 lbs
Head Circ: 17.1"

Ashie Six Months
Height: 27.6"
Weight: 20 lbs
Head Circ: 17.8"

Looks like Coach is slightly taller and slightly skinner than his brother.

A Spooktacular Halloween

Ashie Actually liked his costume That is until he got hurt. Have you ever seen Superman cry before?
Oh good he is back to liking his costume againCoach was the cutest skunk in town. I can say that because Tadpool Toad lives in Boston!

The boys posed together for a picture. I assure you, Coach is having fun.
More cute posing on Coaches part.look at that cute backside!

With this haul Ashie will be eating candy for weeks.
Even Mazie dressed up for Halloween.
Naphurs spent a lot of time making our house "spooky". He even dressed up as a zoombie to scare our little trick or treaters.

Pumpkin Carving with the UteLovin'Phrogs

Coach is such a good little helper!

This is when he decided to take over - see the pumpkin gooo on his face
This is our end product - it is a bat if you can't make it out.

This pumpkin carving stuff is serious business for Naphurs - what is that in his hand you say - it is an electric pumpkin carver. I can't lie even I enjoyed using the electric carver.

Ashie was incharge of the pumpkin carving tools, that is until he decided to carve himself.

In the end we just let Ashie color his pumpkin.
