guess who's crawling!?

Mr Owen. he is still slow and doesn't get it every time, but he's picked up the concept and crawls!!

a little getaway

we decided to get away this week and leave the world behind now that Derek had NO homework to worry about and head up AF canyon for the day. we went and had a pic nic, fed some ducks at tibble fork lake, went to cascade springs, and then looped around to Heber and hit up a little shake shack and had delicious ice cream before heading home. it was a PERFECT day.

Derek Graduates!!

ok call me the worst wife EVER cause I'm totally late on posting this. dang facebook makes me think I already did it when I hadn't. anyway, Derek finally finished his MBA! oh my what a LONG two years it was. but worth it. we hope. it was a lot of work, and barely seeing him for 2 years but we made it! he is such an amazing man. I am so lucky to have him as my husband and the father of my monsters. we are SO SO SO proud of him for all the hard work he put into his MBA while working 2 jobs and having a family. we love you!!!

Owen turns 8 months.

like 2 weeks ago almost. little stud is ALMOST crawling, has 2 teeth and is 21 lbs. hes a total sweetheart. the kids love him. and he loves everyone. he STILL wakes up to eat at night and he is slowly sucking the life out of me. I need sleep. he can clap, and is now giving hugs and kisses. I love him. so much. he's strong. he can walk in his walker and give sophie a ride on it. he's got a grip of steel. maybe its all the food he eats. which is everything.

Utah Valley Marathon

I am so excited to say I finished my first half marathon. it was SUCH a great run. I felt great the whole time and was strong. the 11 mile wall hit me a little bit but I still managed to finish at 2:11 which is a good 15 mins before my goal time. Derek did it too and finished at 1:49. another PR for him. LOVED it. Can't wait for my next.
