Livin it up

-Ezra finished t-ball and had a party. I'm not sure we are going to put him in again. Not really sure he is the "sports" type and I mean that in the nicest way.-Ezra also has his 1st loose tooth. Love it!

- Lincoln and Ezra are obsessed with Aaron's iphone and they fight over it... a lot. It's really annoying.
-Aaron is one semester closer to applying to med school. WOOHOO!!

-I signed up for cosmetology school. I have wanted to do this since I was in high school. I can't tell you how excited I am. Oh and nervous, scared, happy, anxious, a little bit of every emotion you can have. Oh and I start in a week:)
-I am doing boot camp right now and my body has never been more sore. EVER! I love every second of it though.

-Aaron is still going to school and working his life away. He is also about to start volunteering at the hospital. The kids and I cherish every moment we have with him even if it's only 5 mins.
-Thanksgiving was great. We spent the day with Aaron's family. It was nice to relax out there. Then we spent the rest of the weekend with my family. I didn't take any pictures. I'm not sure why oh yeah, I'm lazy.

-We have been very blessed. Sometimes, okay a lot of the time, it's easy for me to have a pity party for myself. But really life is good. It's hard but that's what makes it worth it, right?

Sigh

I just wanted to say, I am very much in love with this man...

You got that

I swear Lincoln is doing this 80% of the day. Boys...

New bridge

After my half marathon, we decided since we were already in Boulder City we might as well go check out the new bridge. Aaron wanted to drive across it then walk across too. Bridges kinda freak me out. I really didn't want to drive across it but we did and you can't even see that you are on a bridge. So, that was okay. Now, walking across it is a different story. I didn't mind walking across it but I was having a small anxiety attack because we had the kids. Ezra could have easily climbed over the edge if he wanted to. Luckily my parents were there too because I wasn't much help. Remember I did just run 13 miles. I was really starting to feel it.

Half marathon

On Oct. 30 I ran my very 1st half marathon. Yes, I said 1st. I plan on running one again. I am slightly disappointed with my time but more than half of it was on a trail and I didn't train on trails. So, I probably could have done better if I was more prepared. Anyways, it started at Boulder Beach then it went on the trails that go through the old railroad tunnels. Then it turned around at the Hoover Dam parking garage and you ran back. It was actually a beautiful run. Beautiful views of Lake Mead and the new bridge. My time was 2 hours and 24 mins. Not bad for my 1st half. I just want to say that I never was a "runner" and this is something I never thought I could do. Mainly because of my lack of motivation. Training for a half takes a lot of time. There were a couple days I just wanted to quit but I didn't. I am really proud of myself for sticking with it. And I can honestly say I love running now. I think I am addicted! It feels so good to see and feel yourself getting better. I am also thinking I want to try out a triathlon. We'll see how that goes.

This is the only picture I got of me running. It's right before the finish line.My bestie Megan also ran in it! Here we are after our race.my and my kiddos (who weren't there at the finish line, eh hem)

Oh my

Tonight, Ezra came running into my room screaming, "MOM!!! LINCOLN JUST DUMPED ALL THE GOLD FISH ON THE CARPET. YOU NEED TO GO YELL AT HIM AND GET HIM IN TROUBLE!"

T-ball

We put Ezra in t-ball and he loves it. His 1st time up to bat he hit the ball and ran with the bat straight through the field to second base. It was hilarious! And when they played in the outfield he was all over the field. You know how there is always that one kid who does their own thing and runs all over the field, lays down on the base so no one can step on it, tackles their teammates to get the ball yeah that's Ezra. At least he is having a blast!
