I had so much fun running my first half marathon with my aunt and two sisters! I haven't had a weekend without the kids since Sherman was born and this was the perfect escape. Can't wait for the next girls' weekend!
Before the race - getting pumped and trying to stay warm - it was soooooooooo cold and windy!!
Amy and I were great pacing buddies and crossed the finish line together with a finish time of 2:18 - so fun!
The whole crew - way to go ladies!! A big shout out to my kid sister Whitney who ran 4 months pregnant - hard core!!
Lunch after the race at Banditos. I ate so much chips and queso while in Texas!
I'm so grateful for all of these awesome ladies in my life! Maybe next time we'll make it a marathon ladies?
My little baby isn't so little anymore. He's 18 months and he walks, plays, teases, and knows exactly what he wants. Sherman is so much fun and has a quirky little personality. One of my favorite little things he does is sniff his nose. He does this to make us laugh and he always does it before he goes to bed. It's funny how random routines start.
We finally have Sherman's reflux under control and life is so much happier for him and his parents - we've cleaned up way too much vomit in the last 4 months! Sherman has 8 teeth and 4 molars. He's not a big eater, but he has a sweet tooth for chocolate and popsicle. He mainly survives on milk, bananas, yogurt, and nutrigrane bars.
Sherman loves to keep up with his brother and will try just about anything he sees Everett do. He gets REALLY frustrated if he can't. He's a good communicator, but we really need to work on words. If he wants something he wines and points, wines and points, cries and points, and then screams and points until I figure it out. I know it's just a phase, but I really look forward to words! Right now he says, moma, da, hi, ni-ni, and barks when he sees a dog :). Even though he doesn't say a lot of words, he understand almost everything I tell him to do.
Sure do love this smiling face!
We had my kind of snow day today. A dusting in the morning and gone by afternoon. Sherman took my hand and brought me to the sliding glass door to show me the snow. I'm pretty sure he was asking to go out, so we bundled up and headed out to play. I love being a mom of outgoing boys!
Everett turns 4! Wow! This was a really fun birthday. Everett was really excited about celebrating and had fun at all of his parties (He had 4 - just a little spoiled). We celebrated with the Buchan clan before his birthday and he had so much with all the star wars decorations and toys. Thanks to his Nana for his new spiderman bike - he zips all around the neighborhood on it.
The next party was on his big day. We had a fun breakfast in the morning and then celebrated with dad and pizza in the evening.
Two more parties to go. One at Planet Play with friends and cousins and one with Grandma Judith. He loved playing with his friends, eating pizza, and riding the rides. It's so fun to have such a good group of boys here in Utah for Everett to play with.
Dad popped in on his lunch break for the friend party!
Grandma Judith took Everett on a shopping and lunch adventure. They went to target, then to Walmart and back to target to pick up a Darth Maul light saber - super cool! They also ventured to Costco for lunch where Everett discovered the best "Grandma Costco Ice-cream" ever made! So much Fun!
Lots of fun and love for this little boy. Happy Birthday Everett. We love your fun/outgoing personality, your determination to figure things out by yourself, your sweet side, your wild side, your awesome singing ability, and much, much more. Thanks for being an awesome son!
