Moab Half Marathon

This weekend some of my family went to Moab to run the half marathon. The weather was nice and it was an enjoyable race... or so I thought...
These are direct quotes from family members who ran.

"I'm not running again for 10 years..."
"I've never been in more pain in my whole life..."
"I hate you and I'm never running again..."
"that was harder than child birth..."

Here are some pictures from our little adventure :)

Just about to cross the finish line. I think I'm giving a thumbs up, not quite sure...

Jill, Kevin, Carolyn, and Garrett happy to be done with the race.


Car seat buddies - Abby & Halle.


We took a little detour through Arches.


Pajama pals with Papa.

Rubba Dub Dub Havin' Fun in the Tub!!

One of my most precious baby moments was when I was about 10 months old and I took a little bath with my cousins Roseanne and Lindsey. As you can tell we were having a great time. I can't help but think that our subsequent years of close friendship are all somehow rooted in this singular joyful baby naked bath experience.


I could think of nothing that I would want more than for my daughter Abby to have that same close bond with her cousins that I have with mine, so naturally we put Abby in the bath with her cousin Halle to lay the foundation of what will be a wonderful friendship.



Yipee! Best friends forever!

Silly Abby

This is how I found Abby sleeping during her nap today...

Abby's 10 months!

Abby is happy as ever, giggling, laughing, and smiling almost constantly. Although you still probably can't tell from the photos, Abby is actually starting to get some hair (still no sign of teeth!). Now that she's climbing up on just about everything, our apartment seems like it's getting smaller by the minute! Our little Abby, seems less like a little bald toothless baby and more like a little bald toothless girl with every passing day.







Abby comes up with a new little thing she does just about every week. She'll do it for a couple of days and then never do it again. This is her most recent "little thing." She's just so darn cute.


Mike likes to spend his free time playing Jetman. He's very proud of his high score of 8742!

While we were in Guatemala we hopped over to Honduras for a day and went on a sweet zip line adventure.
