My first 5k

On the 21st of July I ran my first 5k.  Now that I am done having kids I have been making more of an attempt to loose my baby weight.  I took my time and just wanted to finish.  I finished in 36:36, not too bad for my first time.

Misc. July Pictures 2012

I wanted to post a few pictures that I had taken through out the month.  It has been a crazy month so these little nonmomenteous moments are fun to remember.
Our cat, Princess Sarah, had four kitties on May 10th.  They grew fast and they were all over the house climbing up my curtains, couches, chairs.  Calvin loved it, he followed those kitties around the house.  When the kittens played in the shoe basket he would climb in the basket as well.  It was fun to watch.

Jared, me, and Calvin went to wash the Tahoe.  Calvin really liked sitting in the driver seat with Jared and we went through the car wash.

Here are all my cute kiddo's watching a movie on the laptop.

My birthday was this last month and Jared and Sidney made me a cake.

Hagen lost another tooth.  He took a little bite out of his cone and out came his tooth. 

Strawberry Family Campout July 2012

This year for our family camping trip we went to Strawberry Reservoir.  It rained most of Friday and Saturday morning.  Saturday afternoon it finally cleared up a little and we all went down to the water and did some fishing.  We fished for crawfish and boiled them and had a little feast.  Then it poured all night as well as Sunday.  Despite the rain we had a fun little camping trip.  We hung out, played games, ate lots of food, fished, and enjoyed each others company.  Definitely excited for next year.

Here we are at the reservoir.  We would put the chicken in the water and the crawfish would immediately grab onto the chicken.  It was really fun and easy for the kiddo's.  We had a big cooking pot that was almost full.

Sidney had fun catching the crawfish.  She got a little scared when we would pull them out of the water.

Canyon Lands and Arches July 2012

This last weekend we went on a little camping trip with the Hales Clan (Jared's Sister and her family) to Canyon Lands and the Arches.  We stayed at a little camp ground about ten minutes from Moab.  We set up and went swimming on the first night.  On Friday we visited Canyon Lands. Saturday we cleaned up and checked out of our camp site and then parked the trailers and went to Arches.  We took quite a few pictures so I just chose a few to post.  We had so much fun and are excited to come back next year.

This little guy didn't sleep well the night before so he slept the entire hike.

Sid and Calvin found a little area to play in

After a very hot day, we all went to the Maverik in Moab for slurpies.  I gave Calvin his own for being so patient.  He loved it.

2012 Fourth of July Celebrations

For the 4th of July fireworks we went to a field next to the hospital and set up canopies, blankets, and food and played games with the kids.  The Gillmans joined us as well.  We played in the grass and waited for the fireworks to begin.

Happy 4th Birthday Miss Sidney!

My cute little Sidney turned 4 on June 23rd.  She is the cutest little thing that is full of personality.  She is full of spunk and is the sweetest little thing with all her kisses and hugs.  She loves Elmo, Dora, baby kitties, and teasing her older brother and sister.  I love this little one, my life is forever changed for the better because of her!  Happy Birthday Miss Sid!
She picked out a princess cake at costco.
 The night before her birthday we let her open her gifts from our family.  I plan on throwing a late Elmo birthday party in a few weeks.
