So basically i cannot STAND for Golds Gym salesman (no offense :)),
however, at the same time, i need to renew my gym pass.
I hate running outside in the cold.
Spin class is my saving grace.
So as much as i HATE to do it..does anyone know of any good deals..
or have one they want to sell?

Fo..

This little stinker turns 4 today. In his own words-
"Im gonna be fo on octobo fo-teenth."
Where has the time gone?
He requested a birthday party with friends,
McDonalds for lunch,
and another party tonight.
Since I LOVE birthdays, his wishes are granted.
Owen is the best friend anyone could have.
Happy "bothday" Buddy!

A success

Ahhh..sunny St George. Always a fun vacation. This time it was especially fun because we stayed with our good friends Jenn and Kyle. They have 2 little guys like us...Owen and Bridger were born on the same day and are super duper good buddies. Owen pretty much didn't sleep for 3 days he was so excited to play. Kyle and Jenn are pretty much RAD. We had so much fun with them. Thanks for weekend guys!
We had a little birthday party for the boys since their bday is the same day and happens to be in a few weeks. We played "pop the balloon", opened a present, ate cupcakes and rode bikes. wala!
Of course, the REAL reason we went down to George was to run the marathon. Mom was a rock star and decided to run it 3 weeks ago. Here she is with her buddy Kelly with .1 miles to go!
Dad and I both got a PR...we were very excited about it! 3:25 for dad and 3:17 for me. Dad is such a great motivator and always wants me to do my best! Im so happy to have him for my runnin partner. This is at the finish line waitin for mom.
really happy to be sitting down right now. My stomach cramped at the end and i was in a ball the whole rest of the day, Thank goodness for hot tubs.
Overall, it was a great race. Dad and i ran together until about mile 15. I started having back pain and decided...i just really want to finish fast so i can sit down. Dad got a sip of water and we never re-connected..until the finish. Then we ate popsicles and hobbled back to our family.
Next up, Boston marathon in April!

I'll leave you with our little family night activity...eating frosties from wendy's and singing songs on a blanket on the floor. Owen requested it and it couldn't have been more fun.
Now we are off to have more fun in sunny St George. Ill be runnin the marathon, and ALL my boys will be waiting for me at the finish. Such great motivation i tell ya!!
Have a great weekend and go get a frosty, a vanilla one.

In my attempt to "fall clean", i have been going through all my magazines, cutting out pictures of what i want my house to look like someday. I put them all in a folder and store them away until someday, i can pull them out and my dreams will come true :)
This is only making me what a house with more space, more creativity and room for me to hang up all sorts pictures. All this, i do in my "spare time." I guess with Sister getting ready to move to St George, i am hoping that someday soon i can move there too. I mean, i can't imagine my life without sister a mile away.
Here is a glimpse of a cute room i have stored away...

I love how simple it is, non cluttery and dreamy with the birds.

simple lines, funky patterns and clean...love it.

my young women at our last activity together...we had sister come take our picture at the temple, head shots and all, then we sat on the grass and ate watermelon
