Craft Day

Ashie and I spent the morning painting and putting together a garage/parking lot for Ashie's cars. Who knew that homemade toys could be so fun!

Wild man Ashie stops to take a nap? Seriously!

Ashie is our little energizer bunny that keeps going and going and going. That is why it totally shocked us when he fell asleep on his chair last night while we were eating dinner. He must of had a super fun/super busy day at the babysitters.

Wild man Ashie!

And I thought I could trust Ashie with markers. I guess those days are over now that he discovered coloring on himself is fun!

Random Thoughts

Here are a few of the random thoughts that came into my head while running the BIG 13 yesterday.

Who came up with the idea of running a marathon? And who decided that running a continuous 26.5 miles is okay for the human body? Who is crazy enough to run multiple marathons? AND WHAT ON EARTH IS COMPELLING ME TO RUN THIS MARATHON?

Go Utes!

This is us at the U gymnastics meet, we sure did enjoy ourselves! Well all except Coach he wanted to crawl around on the dirty arena floor and mean mom wouldn't let him. Needless to say we only lasted one rotation at the meet. Ashie was sorely disappointed when we left, he actually wanted to stay and watch. When we were leaving the Huntsman Center he started to cry and told his dad that he wanted to stay with the Utes. That's our boy. Go Utes!

When I put Ashie down to bed tonight he insisted that I sing him the Utah man sir song multiple times. Doesn't get any better than that! Go Utes!

Spring Happiness!

For Valentines my sweet boys gave me long life tulips that you get to watch grow and enjoy for weeks. I love these tulips because they bring life into the house at the end of a looooong winter. If you are interested in getting your own you can pick them up at your nearest Costco. Otherwise just enjoy watching mine grow. I will be posting their progress on the sidebar of my blog. Enjoy!

Costco brought me more spring happiness this week because it is strawberry season and they are selling BIG RED DELICIOUS STRAWBERRIES! I love strawberries! The strawberries are kind of expensive, but totally worth it after a looooong winter of eating apples, bananas, and oranges.

10 Miles Baby!

Count them 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10! That's right I ran 10 miles today and am so stinking proud of myself! I've been afraid to take the plunge and run a 10 mile stretch, but now that is done it wasn't that bad! Of course the run was made a lot easier by the wonderful new shoes and the Ipod/Nike mileage tracker that my sweet Valentine got me (thank-you Naphurs). Yes, when you have proper equipment the run is a lot easier. Next week I am going to conquer the big 13. Yikes!
