Here is an update....

I know I promised pictures and details of my last race, but all the pictures are on my brothers camera and I haven't taken the time to move them to my computer, but I can tell you the details of the race.
The Saturday after Halloween I ran an Cross Country 8K! This means 5 miles or pure hills! But not only are there hills, but you are running on grass, dirt, wood chips, and mud! You had to run up stairs, leap over logs, and run through a mud lake!!! I wanted to give up so many times, but I didn't and ran every step of the way! I ended up with blisters on the side of my feet from running on uneven surfaces! I ran it in about 55 mins! I was so tired when I crossed the finish line, it didn't help that I sprinted the last .2 only to find out that it wasn't the finish line and that I had to run another .2! I know that doesn't seem like a long distance, but it felt like a mile!!!

Thanksgiving I did a fun run! On line it said it was either 4 miles or 6 miles, but when I got to the run I found out it was either 4.3 miles or 7.4 miles! I went thinking I was going to run 6, but changed my mind. It was super cold! I believe it was in the 30's that morning. After running 2 miles my body had finally warmed up so I could feel my lips again! So I only ran 4!

I have decided that I am going to run a half marathon! I plan on running the one in Sedona, AZ the first Sat. in Feb., but I still need to call the air lines and find how much it would cost to change my ticket. I had previously bought tickets and fly home the day before the race. So we will see. I am still following my training schedule. Saturday I ran 7.4 miles! I hope to do all my long runs outside, but right now we are in a middle of a blizzard, so we will see! The rest of my runs I do at the Y! I hate it! I get sooo bored! I have to run and watch ESPN!! Can't they play something interesting! Plus I'm not used to running on a treadmill! It feels so awkward! But Kent is getting an Ipod for Christmas, so I will steal it and at least have something to listen to! So Saturday bring on 8 miles! Or 8.5! I try to stay a half mile ahead, so if I miss some running (like this week, I've been snowed in for 2 day, so no running!) I won't be too far behind!

Wesson had been so funny lately! The day before Thanksgiving was my MIL birthday. We sang the song once and then later we hear Wesson sing it! So now he sings it all the time! And wants me to sing it to him all the time, even when I am putting him to bed! But it's always Grandpa's birthday! He still loves animals and thinks all the reindeer on our Christmas tree are cows!! He has also discovered how to open doors!

I've been working on lots of projects for Christmas, but I can't post any pictures until later. But I'm really excited about some of them!

Did an 8K today! Pictures and details to come! Very sore!

So handsome!!!

Halloween and 5K!!!

We kick off Halloween by running a 5K to work off all that candy I know I will be eating! No, it was not an official race. We decided not to do that because you had to register by Oct. 14th and on the 10th we got 5 inches of snow! We didn't know what the weather was going to be like and didn't want to waste $25! Plus a couple in our ward was going to race it by themselves so the two girls I run with and I decided to join them. One girl dropped out due to health issues. So it was Maggie and Matt Hovey and their 2 boys (we pushed in strollers) Rachel LeBaron, and I.


Here are the 3 girls coming up to the finish line! I was really surprised the they did it! So proud of them!! Her I am crossing the finish line! I pushed one of Mggie's boys most of the way! It didn't bother me, I usually push Wesson when I run! Though I do like my jogging stroller a lot better. That one hurts my back!!!

Here we are after the race. We had great weather! It was around 35 degrees when we started the race. Perfect weather!!!

We decided to make our own shirts so, be appliqued a ghost in the front and "5k" on the back!!


Now for Halloween!!!!

This is Wesson he went as Curious George!!! I bought his pant and sweater and sewed the ears, tummy, and tail on!! I think he turned out super cute!!



Here is Kent! He went as the Man with the Yellow Hat!!! I made his pants, hat, tie, and then dye an old White Sunday shirt yellow!!! Very Handsome!!!

Here they are together!!!

Aren't the cute!!! I love their costume!!!

This picture Kent took at our ward "Trunk or Treat". I thought these costume ideas were cute! Zeke is Wall E and Reid is a pig in a blanket!!! Great Job Maggie!!!

CHEESE!!!!!

This is what I found when I was making dinner. Every time I put the cheese down and turned around Wesson would grab the cheese and try to eat!

18 months!!!

I can't believe my little boy is 18 months!!! He is learning more and more every day! Here are some things he does....

*like pushing the box of diapers up to the wall so he is tall enough to turn the light on and off
* Likes to open the dish washer and clean it out or play with the butter knifes. He loves to stand them on the point in the hole for the jet dry stuff!
* Likes to hold the key (always the car key, never any other key) as we walk out to the car.
* counts to 10 (more or less)
* can fill in missing letters when you sing the ABC's
* Still loves to help Grandpa and Uncle Levi outside--- He is very particular about how he does things. My dad has an electric truck so he is always checking the batteries and Wesson loves to help. So Grandpa gives him tools to help. He copies Grandpa to the T. I mean He will use the wrench on the batteries but only where the screw and nut is... never anywhere else. ..because that is what Grandpa does!
* Scream and throws a fit if you are going outside and he is not going with you!!
*Loves nursery-- he could care less if I leave. He will throw a fit if I have to take him out of nursery to change his diaper. He doesn't want to leave.
*Thinks that whenever he leave he has to give everyone a kiss. That includes the dog.
*i don't know how many words he know, but a lot.
* He learns new animal sounds daily.
* Anything on wheels he loves to push around our little apt. laundry hamper, computer chair, or cars.
* He now will sit and watch a t.v. episode. I usually turn on Baby Einstein when he wake up from nap.
* He loves to sit on the potty. No he hasn't done anything yet, but he likes to sit on it anyways!
* loves to take off his pants and throw them out of the crib with all his blankets when he doesn't want to take a nap.
* He can chant "Go big Red!" much to daddy's delight!
* Loves corn dogs!
* Loves playing with anything Kitchen related. So glad he is getting a play kitchen for Christmas. Now I just need to start on the felt food!

He had his doctor's appointment today, so that meant shots! They get worse and worse every time. He cries harder and longer, this is not going to be fun when he is 5! He got a Flu shot, Hep B, and H1N1. They told me to call back in a month and see if they have any more H1N1 to finish it off. I was lucky and the office just got one vial that morning of H1N1. But here are his stats:
Weight- 25.2 Lbs ( 40 percent)
Height- 32.5" (58 percent)
head-- 49 cm ( 80 percent)

So excited!!!

So I know I haven't posted updates about my weight lost progress. I've been lazy in posting. But here is an update..... So excited!!! Today I went to wal- mart to pick up some cake mixes for young woman's and found that they had a clearance rack of some cute skirts! These are fitted skirts and I fit into a size 4!!! Just fine!!!! I was excited!!!! I normally wear size 6/7 !! So there is your update!!
