UPDATE

Well it has been a while. So this is what we have been doing. 4th of july we went to the parade with Blake's family. Jaxson got scared with the loud noises but had fun besides that. THat night we went over to Chantell's and Scott's to have a barbaque, roast marshmallows and watched fireworks. It was so fun to have Blake's family and my family all together.
We watched Jaxson one afternoon and I had these plans to go to wheeler farm or a water park. We chose to go to wheeler farm. Well Jaxson fell asleep in the car on the way over. I tried to wake him up and he was not having it. SO we came back home and he woke up as Blake was carrying him in the house. So he was having fun putting the phone up the each dogs ear and his own ear. We love our nephew!
Then next time I was watching him I took him to my grandpas swimming pool with my mom, she loves him. He had a blast in his little pool. It was fun.

CAN'T KEEP UP!

I can't believe how busy we have been the past few weeks. I can't keep up. We usually do not have anything going but lately we have had a lot. Here are a few things.
Chace my brother got his mission call last week and opened it at my mom's house. He is called to the Salvador, Brazil mission. He gets to go to the MTC in brazil and has to report on Nov 4th. It is a long time but that means we get to spend more time with him. We are very excited for him.



Later that week we went up to Jordanelle and camped with my family. We took the dogs and that was an experience. Kita is so scarred of water she yelps and yelps when we have to give her a bath so we were very suprised when she went in to the lake after sticks that we were tossing in. She wined everytime we walked away from the lake. We loved it!

WASATCH BACK

So my sister called me last tuesday saying one of her team members in the wasatch back had to back out and was wondering if I would want to run in her spot. I have heard about this race from her for the past 3 years and I have always wanted to see how fun it was. Well I said yes and did not know what I was getting into. I don't run but I do go to the gym a few times a week. I told her not to expect to much from me. Well I did a lot better than I thought I would have done. My first run was 3.6 miles and I did it in 8:30 min miles. I was shocked! After the first run we went up to the next spot that we were going to start and took a nap. It was not a very good sleep due to we were in a huge parking lot and other vehicles were going and coming the whole time.

Here is our second run. Pictures did not turn out to well due to it was night and we had reflector vests and head lights on so there was a lot of glare. This run was 3.6 miles and a steady climb. This was my slowest run averaging 10:30 min miles. After I ran I tried to take a nap in the back of the truck. That did not work out to well with everything around me I think I got about an hour.

This was our last run. We had a hotel room that we slept in for about an hour. We showered and that was worth the room. The last run was 4.8 miles which was pretty much flat. I did pretty good on this last run. I averaged 9:30 min miles. By the end it was so hard to move my legs and arms but I did it and that to me is a huge accomplishment. This experience was so fun I am so glad I was able to fill in. Thank you sissy!

MY HUSBAND

I dedicate this blog to my husband. He is so wonderful. It has been 2 years already and he is not sick of me yet. I do have my days of whining and nagging that he puts up with (there are many of these days). He is amazing and will do anything for anyone. He has put so much time onto our house and done an immaculate job with everything. Even the parts that we have redone and redone. I don't know what I would do with out him. He is always thinking of someone else before himself. I can't express how much I love him and appreciate him! I love you honey!

Championship game

Well Chace's team only had to win one game and they would have won state. Instead like the past two years they lost to the same team twice in a row so they lost state. It sucked!!!! The second game Chace hit another homerun that put his team down two and they could never get those two runs. We were dying and could not believe that this has happened three years now. Chace played good and did his job. After the game he was no as upset as I thought he would be. When I asked him why he said that he played a lot better this year than last year. That seemed good enough for me. His mood was good enough that we were able to get pictures (they are at the end of the slide show, if you look close enough my eyes are red from crying). Yes I did cry, after watching him play sports since he was walking I could not believe that a state championship has been so close these last 3 years and he did not get any of them. I felt so bad. It was weird to watch him and to know that this was his last highschool game and maybe his last game ever. I was happy that he played good in his las tfew games. I love him so much and am thankful that he is my brother! Thanks Chace for letting me support you all these years!!!

Baseball

Chace my brother is a senoir at Dixie High. They are playing for the state championship for baseball. This game was to play in the the championship game. It was the bottom of the 7th inning we were losing 6-5 bases were full and there were two outs. Chace got up to bat (we were freaking out because this same situation has happened last year during the championship game and did not turn out good). Chace swung and hit a grandslam! His only grandslam ever. It was so great. We started freaking out jumping and screaming. This was huge they get to play tomorrow in the championship game.

Fun Weekend

My cousin got married this weekend and in between the ceremony and the reception Blake played basketball with some friends. Well this was the result of that game. I was able to talk him into going to instacare so someone could look at it. It is sprained. The dr told him to stay off of it and no sports for 2 weeks. Well lets see Blake was and working on our basement the next day saying it felt fine.


This is saturday the day after it happened.
