A Few "Firsts" This Week

Aiden had to have his first cavity filled on Thursday. I was so worried how he would handle it. But my fear was for nothing! Because our Dentist is so AWESOME Aiden didn't even realize what was going on. He did so well! The dentist let him pick 4 prizes from their prize area. Then I took him to the store where he got to chose a toy. He said he wanted a movie instead, so he picked Bob the Builder. Way to go Aiden! You were so brave!

Second, we moved Owen out of his crib into a big boy bed. Last night was his first night sleeping in it. It did not go very well. But I don't think it ever does the first night. He woke up at 3am and didn't go back to sleep til 5am, then he woke up at 6:30am for good. I am exhausted! Hopefully tonight will be better, but we'll see. Now that he is in a big bed, we can redecorate his room. His crib was zoo animals, but we are changing it to Thomas the Train.

Some More Camping

We were driving down main street in Panguitch, and there was this house! I fell in love with it. It is amazing! We were so tempted to ask the owners if we could see inside, but we didn't. I regret that very much. We took this photo for future reference.
Next is the sunset as seen from our campground.

And then the very beautiful Panguitch Lake. I took that photo from my fishing chair.

Camping

So last week we went camping at Panguitch Lake. My awesome parents rented us this cabin, so we didn't have to tent it! The weather was not the best, but we got 1 good day so we were able to go fishing.

Here is our lovely abode. It had 1 queen bed and bunk beds.

Happy Fathers Day!

Here are a couple of pictures of the first time Jon got to hold our boys. Who would of thought that Jon would have wanted kids? Let alone 2! I am amazed at the love Jon has for his boys. He is their best friend. The boys have so much fun with their daddy. There favorite activities together are riding bikes, playing basketball, and anything having to do with the outdoors. I just wanted to say Happy Fathers Day to Jon. He is the love of my life, and I am so grateful that he is the father of my children. I couldn't have asked for a better man to raise these boys. He has so much patient, wisdom, and guidance to offer. I don't doubt my boys will grow up to great men, because of their father. Happy Fathers Day, babe! I LOVE YOU!

Nothing Much........

....has been going on lately. So I haven't had anything to blog about. We just got back from camping on Wednesday, so I'll post some pics of that later. I am so excited that summer is here though. For the next few weeks we will be pretty busy. But all of it is so fun, that I don't mind. First this next weekend Jon is riding in the MS150. For anyone of you who don't know what that is, it is a bike ride consisting of 150 miles ridden in 2 days. It is a donation race to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis (anyone wanting to donate please contact Jon). The boys and I will be driving up to Logan next weekend to watch Jon cross the finish line. We also get to go swimming at the Logan aquatic center for free. Also next week Transformers come out, which we are going to see with our friends Rachael and Chris. Then July will come, and with that obviously is the 4th. I love the 4th of July. I LOVE parades, and fireworks. Then we have Lagoon day sponsored by Harmons. And this year will be the first year that Aiden can ride the big rides! Jon is so excited to take him! Then Harry Potter: The Half Blood Prince comes out, and me and my friend Carrie are going to the midnight show of that. Then finally Jon and I will be spending a weekend in Park City. Sort of our last get away before he starts school. So I am sure I will have tons to post about in the coming month.
As for the boys not much has changed there either. Owen is totally a 2 year old! And totally driving me mad! Overnight he went from calm and easygoing to throwing tantrums 24/7, throwing things, and being very opinionated! What the heck happened? Then there's Aiden. I have never seen a kid who loved summer more. He is out playing with his friends ALL day. He only comes in to go to the bathroom (I hope), and eat and drink. I rarely see him on my days off, cause he is always playing with his friends. Well thats all for now. Talk to ya soon.

My Favorite Little People

I have known these guys before any of them were even born. They hold a special place with me. And I'm so grateful to get the chance to see them grow up. (Also Gabriel, Christian, and Gavin who are not pictured here) I seem to have lost some pictures, which I am not very happy about.

1/2 Marathon

So I realized I hadn't posted anything on my first 1/2 marathon. There are other photos of me running the course, but I'd have to buy them, and I didnt want to. But I had such a blast! I will definitely be running 1/2 marathon's again. I ran this one in 2:38:56. It was a lot better than I thought I would do. My mom was so proud, as you can tell from the photo below. I ran it with my good friend Wendy, from work. She was amazing too! She makes a great running partner, and I hope we can continue to run together in the future. As I crossed the finish line I had Jon, my mom, my mil, Aiden, and Owen waiting for me. It was awesome to have them there to support me. Thanks guys! I am thinking about running another 1/2 marathon the end of August, but have not yet decided. I injured my knee pretty good after the Ogden 1/2, and I haven't been running on it since. I think I've been scared to, cause I don't want to hurt it again. But I love running, its a great passion for me, and relieves a lot of stress, so I'm sure I'll be back to it soon......if this weather ever improves.
