OUCH!!!!!!!

This morning my little Raegan had just taken a shower, and went downstairs to get dressed by the warm fire. She bent over to put on her undies and her cutest little bum pressed up against the HOT glass front of our fireplace. OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH. First, I had her go put her bare bum up against our french door because I knew it was cold - we are very fortunate to live down a private street as I am sure most people would not appreciate the view. Then after re-assessing that it was a nasty burn I did all the necessary medical things and even called the doc to make sure I didn't need to take her in.


Lesson for today - DO NOT get dressed in front of the fire. Get dressed - THEN go sit by the fire.

I am sure she will kill me for putting this on here but as you can see I tried to fix it so you can't see ALL of her little booty.
*She is doing fine btw.

Provo Halloween Half Marathon

Today I ran the Halloween Half Marathon. It is probably the prettiest run I have ever done - absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I am thankful that Adrienne ran with me and kept me going - I could not have done it by myself! Around mile 10 I got pretty tired, mile 11 I was wondering what the heck I was doing and how I was going to get the last 2 miles in and mile 12 I decided that if I stopped to walk I would just lay down and not finish hehe I even sprinted across the finish line :)

There were an insane amount of runners (over 2500!) a lot of them dressed in costume. I wasn't dressed up but since Adri was I borrowed her makeup and zombied up my face.

I did not train as I should have - I think I ran 3 times in the 6 weeks before this race haha NOT a good plan. Still that being said I think I did ok, officially the 1/2 marathon is 13.1 miles but my gps said I ran 13.7 and I am going with that! I finished in 2 hours 25 minutes and 5 seconds. Not too shabby if I say so myself! I really want to do this run again - with more training for sure! I'll post more pictures later (need to get them from Adri because I didn't take a camera!

Fall Baseball/Tball

This fall we put Tre and Xander in a small rec league for baseball. Darrin was Tre's coach and Rob (from work) was Xander's coach. It was fun and crazy to have them do this - I think they both did pretty good. Definitely a change from watching Haiden - hehe.This is pretty much what Xander does during his entire game. Well I take that back - during the first 5 minutes he won't let anyone else get the ball, then he moves on to talking with his belly button, then the raspberries start and stay till the end.
The above 2 pics are just delightful, if you can't quite tell - Xander is grabbing a team mate and belching into his ear. Yeah. Super.
Not sure exactly what Tre is doing - 1st it looks like he is excited that someone hit the ball, second looks like he is running slow motion but he hasn't moved.


Darrin is telling someone to go where they are supposed to go :)

TOTAL slacker mom!

So I am a terrible mother! Thursday (the 7th) was Tre's birthday and I didn't post anything. I am awful!

So here it is a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRE!!!
You are 9 years old. I can't believe how fast you are growing up. You are a great kid with a tender heart. You want to be a "game maker" when you grow up. I can absolutely see you doing that. Your favorite things in the world are computer/wii/play station/dsi games. I am proud of the boy you are growing up to be. I LOVE YOU!

And - in anticipation that I will yet again be a slacker I am posting this in advance:
Happy Birthday Xander (10/14)
You are going to be 5! Where does the time go? You are growing up fast. You are a little 'Dennis the menace" you have a very mischievous side to you. You are a funny boy that tells stories and make people laugh all the time. I LOVE YOU!

Pep Rally!

This week one of the other football mom's and I were in charge of the pep rally for Haiden's team. We chose "dig in for another win" or "There's no MESSING around in football" actually we didn't have a slogan, we just had the kids make a mess hehe. We put 10 gummy worms in each pie tin and covered them with whipped cream. They then had to get them all - WITHOUT using their hands - to win. Coach Petty won - hands down no contest. I think the boys all had a great time and I loved that all of the coaches participated. I am sure the parents were just thrilled with our idea :)

Football!

With fall comes FOOTBALL! Not only is it seemingly endlessly on tv, we have Haiden playing which means practice and games 4 or more times a week! He is loving it! His team is doing great (the blog is on the right side if you want to check it out-- hawks2010). I love this picture that was captured at the last game. #24, that's my boy! He is such an athletic kid - it is so much fun to go to his games and watch him do what he loves.

RED ROCK RELAY!

This weekend Darrin, Rob, Janell, Natalie, Alicia and I (Snow Car) ran the red rock relay with - Kim, Dana, Lee, Jeff, Darci, Diana (Sun Car). It was so much fun! I had great people in our car and had loads of fun with them. My legs were 7 miles, 5.8 miles and 5 miles. I feel ok about them. Everyone in my car did FANTASTIC! We are already planning another one hehe
