Life in Valley

Life here in the Valley is great. I love being here with all my friends and family! Kasen is so much fun. We went and got his 2 year old pictures taken yesterday by Ann Hepworth who did an amazing job and I can't wait to see all of them. I will put a few that she put on her blog that she had done, it made me cry to look at them and see how fast my little guy is growing...it's nuts! I have taken a FULL break from any form of exercise what so ever:) I just have to post a few things and kinda say that I am pretty proud of myself! Two weeks ago I ran in the Top of Utah Half Marathon! I was pretty DANG nervous! I hadn't really been training all that great but decided that I was going to do it no matter what! My good friend Betty came all the way up from Valley to run it with me, since my sis in law got prego and couldn't do it! Then I convinced my SWEETheart of Meagan to do it too. I was pretty nervous, but we finished in just over 2 hours! I was pretty proud of myself, seeing how I am not a runner at all. I did it! Thanks to Betty who pushed me those last 3 miles and for Meagan for being the awesome runner that she is and finishing in 1:50...Awesome..that's my next goal:) Then the next week, my cousin Jaclyn was on a Red Rock Relay Team and they didn't have enough people so Iwent and joined them. IT WAS ROCKIN'. My total mileage was 16.5 and I was the race finisher! It was pretty fun. I get emotional and those kind of things because for me it's such a BATTLE when it comes to getting off the couch and doing something, that when I actually do it and achieve what I set out to do, it's pretty cool for me! WE had a fun pre birthday party for Kasen a few days back. My mom was so sweet. She wanted to do something for him so she got him a cute outfit, a motorcycle toy, and a cool little dump truck. We blew up balloons and had cake and ice cream. Kasen LOVED blowing out his candle. We didn't even get 6 words into Happy Birthday and it was already blown out! He is fun. Sometimes I go up to the high school and practice volleyball with the high school team. It's alot of fun because the coach just wants us to hit really hard at them. I can't hit super hard but I try and it's just fun to practice up for the good ol' Turkey Tourny in November! Tomorrow we are going to St. George to my cousins wedding. I am very excited for her. She is such a great girl and a great friend and deserves more than anything to be as happy as she is! :) Love ya LISHA!

Next week I am hopfully going to be able to spend some quality time with TATE! Well, probably quality is a good word for it, not quantity! He is getting some time off to go and hunt his elk hunt he drew out for in northern utah somewhere! So I will be venturing on up there to hopefully catch a glimpse of my hotty of a hubby! Sure do miss him!

These are the ones that are Ann's Website! I love them! Thanks Ann! I can't WAIT to get the rest!
