March 18-20th- Running in Memory of Sheldon and Jace

It has been four years since Sheldon and Jace passed.  This year seemed especially hard, not sure why.  We all met up in St. George to camp at Sand Hollow and run the Shamrock 5k.
I love this tradition and I love that we are able to honor Sheldon and Jace in this way.

A few individuals made it through the finish line before Jared arrived so we missed a few people :(

Julie
 Hagen
I am especially proud of this little guy.  He was so excited to run.  He would have had a faster time if he would have gone ahead of me and olivia.  He was did a great job for his first 10K and even took 7th in his age group.  
Ily also took 2nd in her age group.

Olivia

After the race we went swimming at Julie's parents hotel.
I didn't get a lot of pictures but the kids had fun.

On Sunday before we went home we headed over to the red rock area and did some exploring again.

March 10, 2016- Happy 5th Birthday Calvin!

My baby is officially 5!  I feel like it has gone so quick.
This cute little guy has gone to being quiet, shy, and not a care in the world to a crazy, loud, and opinionated kid.  I  love watching him progress and learn.  More than anything I love being his mom.
He is amazing!

Calvin's best buddy is "Ezra".  They have so much fun together.  He wanted to have Ezra over for his birthday party but because it was going to be on Sunday we went to lunch at McDonald's on Wednesday the day before his birthday.  They had a blast
 We ended our birthday lunch with a much needed ice cream cone!
It's officially his birthday and this little guy is soo excited!
I asked him to smile and this is what he did.

 He is officially five!
 He got lego dimensions Jurassic Park and a kitty.
On Sunday the 13th he had his family birthday party!
I was so excited that everyone was coming over just for him and also for his cake that he picked out! 

 Grandma Smith and Calvin
Gma an Gpa Smith brought hims a traveling car play mat and some money.
 Mark and Jenny brought him Dinosaurs, which ended up on the car mat eventually and Uncle Lance and Des brought him an ABC book and marshmallow shooter.

We decided on a space theme and had a lot of fun putting this together.

 Hagen made the Star Wars cake and had so much fun making it.  It took us a while to make the characters out of perler beads but we had fun doing it.
