Utah Valley Half Marathon

For the past 3 years Rick has been volunteering with the Utah Valley Marathon. I actually had signed up to do the half marathon last year but then I found out I was pregnant about one month before and my training just went downhill in a bad way. I was just too nauseous with the whole morning sickness thing to do it. 

But this year I decided to do it because several of my extended family members were doing it too, so it gave me motivation! It was so much fun. 

The most I had run at one time before this was 8 miles so I was a little worried but we all finished and it was great. It took me about 2 hours and 16 minutes. Honestly, I felt like I could barely walk afterward because my knee hurt so bad but now that I've recovered from my knee issues I would love to do another one someday!

I know some people took some pictures at the finish line so maybe I'll have to track those down and add them later to this post.

Also, Rick did a half marathon the week after I did. He ran the American Fork Canyon Half Marathon with his sister, Jessica. Kimbri, Garrett and I decided to make our way up to American Fork and wait close to the finish line and cheer them on through to the end. Thank goodness for a double stroller :)

This half marathon is put on by Intermountain Healthcare so all proceeds go to cancer patients. Jessica and Rick ran in honor of their Aunt Brenda who has cancer. They did great!

Life in Provo

As I've been trying to catch up with the blog I found a bunch of pictures that I took during our last week or so of living in Provo. We sure enjoyed our time living together in Provo but we are excited to move on to a new part in our lives! 

These pictures don't really have any rhyme or reason but I want to have them in our family book! So here they are:

Kimbri got to watch movies while I tried to pack. Otherwise she would
unpack all my boxes faster than I could keep them packed! Haha.

She loves cereal, just like her dad :)

Lots of naked Garrett pics. We love his chubby rolls!

Kimbri with her binkies. 

Kimbri and Garrett sittin' on the couch together.

It was hot and they were both just in diapers so I had to snap a pic.

They both are a little unsure about this pic. Haha!

Kimbri trying to read a book to Garrett. She's so
cute always trying to help out, sometimes in not so
good ways, though like trying to feed him her bottle! 

I was in the middle of trying to pack, so Kimbri got
to watch Dora the Explorer.

She woke up with CrAzY hair!

Summer Lovin'

This is pretty much just going to be a little bit of a photo dump of the pictures I have for time we spent living in Spanish Fork. They kids just both loved being outside and it was fun to get to spend a lot of time together as a family!

Kimbri absolutely LOVES being outside. Anything to do with being outside, including being in water.   The trampoline was among her favorites of the outside activities at Grandma Haycock's house. At first she would try to say 'bounce' or 'jump' but it eventually became a combination of the two - 'bump'. She would go to the door and say 'bump' and we knew that, that meant she wanted to go jump on the tramp.

Uncle Zach played dress-up with Kimbri :)

Garrett is just growing so fast! We love our little man so much. His smile just melts my heart. And a huge thank you to Dawson and Stacie for letting us borrow Luke's clothes! Pretty much every picture on this post, Garrett is wearing Luke's outfits ;)

He discovered his hands and loves sucking on them!

The Nebraska gang was in town for Nolan's wedding and we got the two little boys together to take some pictures. They are exactly 4 months apart. Luke was born on Sept 4, 2012 and Garrett was born on Jan 4, 2013. They are going to be mischievous little boys some day, running around together getting into trouble. Haha!  

Garrett's shades. They're the perfect size!

Then Kimbri got jealous and decided to take them off...

...and wear them herself.
