Fall already???!!
















Oh wow already into the fall... Well, lets see, summer was crazy and yet uneventful all at the same time. I can't seem to remember that far back.... Jack officially learned to swim on his own. Just a bit of swim lessons and everyday at the pool and its bound to happen. I love watching him play at the pool. He can swim in the deep end and jump in with the big boys... super cute. Eva on the other hand thinks she can swim and can NOT. She hops in just like her brother and then I have to dive across the pool with clothes on to save her (really happens). She is going to be 2 in a month and acts like she's 10. She had grown her own mullet and has the cutest one year old mullet ever. No really she is so beautiful. Taylor has been busy with work and it has been so great to finally see a building erected to show off all that hard work. He has been helping extra with kids too this last little bit. I have caught the running bug and training has consumed me. He is always so willing to work out his schedule with me. Thanks babe! So, I just finished the St. George Marathon this last weekend. Running is really hard for me and that was a HUGE accomplishment. I can't believe I did it without a stretcher (ha). My time could have been better but I'm not at all disappointed, 5:30 isn't bad. I did the LA Ragnar in the spring, Red Rock a couple weeks ago and will finish the year with the Las Vegas Ragnar in three weeks. We are looking forward to the fall and all it has to offer, bring on the holidays... see ya

March update

So my cute husband gave me a new camera for christmas!! one problem... I have to learn how to use all the functions. Downloading the pics onto my computer? well, not the same. So the pictures that match up with this blog will be here shortly.
So jack and I were able to go to disneyland with my dad. He loved it and even loved the crowd. He met Mickey, Goofey, Donald, Chip & Dale (different chip and dale-ya sickos), Minnie, Corella Devil, Mator and McQueen and more but I cant keep track. I believe the Buzz Lightyear ride was his favorite. If all goes well, we hope to return next month with our fam. Jack is growing up so much. We celebrated his 4th Birthday this month. He is so big and tall and I really feel like he should be 10. I feel like I have known him forever! He also learned how to ride his bike with NO training wheels the very next week. He has quadrupled his bruises and scabs but he loves it.
Eva has grown a mile. She is 16months and is wearing 2T clothes. She is the sweetest thing. She gives volunteer hugs and kisses all the time. She is my little buddy. My favorite thing is when she strokes my face and says "ma ma" then she finishes it with a kiss. She loves to tackle her brother and ride his plasma cars. She finally has barely enough hair for a pony and a clip. She is such a joy.
Taylor and I are doing great. Work for him is picking up. Construction is so fun!!!??!?!??? Actually, he really is doing well with it and staying busy so we count our blessings everyday. My little job keeps me hopping and balancing work, kids, running, home, and family is very challenging but somehow it all comes together. I am running in the LA Ragnar race in April. I am so excited. I only know a few people on my team but they seem super cool so I can't wait. Covering 200 miles between 12 people in 24 hrs??? yes were nuts. love bean
