We have a crawler!

Well, it's official! Sarah is crawling! The joys of mobility! I think I know where she is and the next second she's gone! Ben does get a kick out of it...until she gets his toys! He is beginning to learn that if he doesn't want her to get it he has to put it up high or else she will!

Sarah is loving being able to crawl and it is so cute to watch! As a mom it is definitely bitter sweet. I love to watch her learn but I already miss the sweet dependent baby.

Oh well, I guess I'll just go on and enjoy this stage...while it lasts. :)

Race Day!

Well, it came and went! All the hype and it's over! Crazy how that happens!
I had a great time and I'm really glad that I did it!
We finished the marathon in 4 hours and 4 minutes! We each averaged an hour. I planned on running a 12 minute mile and I actually ran it in 10!
The course is super pretty. I must admit though, I didn't look at the scenery too much...I was just focusing on the next point I could stop at! It is a good feeling to say that it's done and that I did better than I planned.
I will be looking for other races to run this summer because that was really good for me to be focused on a race..I'm just not that motivated on my own. :)
I'm a little sore, but not too bad...today. It was all worth it. Thanks for caring.:)
Zach's mom took these pics of us when she saw us on the course. She was so good to bring Ben and Solomon to see me. Zach's leg actually went right past their house, so that made it nice for everyone. They just drove around the block after they saw Zach and saw me. It worked out well. Thanks Becky for watching the kids! We really appreciated it!
That's Ben's cousin Luke in the highchair and Ben running to Zach.
One mile to go...that was the only time he stopped. Amazing man!
This is at the top of Monte Cristo road...pretty huh? I would recommend this run to anyone.

I didn't want you there anyway!

So, I just found out that unless you leave your house at 5:30 AM you probably won't be getting to Eden Park. Yeah, they pretty much close off the whole valley for this race!
I know you all were so dedicated n' all to coming out for the big race, I don't see how it will happen unless you live in Eden.
But thanks for your encouragement! I'm excited to do this.
I just didn't want anyone trying to come up at 9 AM only to find out that every road possible is closed. :) What can I say, I'm thoughtful.
I'll let you know how it goes! We'll be staying with the Nielson's in Huntsville Friday night and we'll be up bright and early! Let the good times roll! I just can't believe race day is almost here! Ready or not, here I come!

The Race is on...

...Saturday! Yep, we're relaying on Saturday and I am pumped!
I am the second leg after Zach and I run 6 miles! My leg ends at Eden Park (Ogden Valley) and I hand off to Tammie. I have never run a race before and I am super excited!
I know everyone doesn't check my blog everyday, but I still wanted to put this on here for anyone who sees this and wants to come and cheer me on.
The race starts at 7 AM but I think Zach will hand off to me around 8 and I'll get to Eden Park around 9:30. I would love to see some of you there if you're not busy! Eden park is supposed to be a fun spot so, you might enjoy yourselves while you're waiting for me. :) (plus, if you know Tammie, I'm sure she wouldn't mind some company while she's waiting for me either. :))
Well, anyway, that's the scoop and I won't be insulted if you can't come, I just thought I'd invite ya! I'd better run! :)

I'm so happy that I can say...

I'm so happy that I can say
I married Zach four years ago yesterday!
He is my love, he is my life
I am so lucky to be his wife!

Yep, yesterday was our anniversary! It was a fun day, although the real celebrating happened on Friday and Saturday. My wonderful parents took the kids for the night and we really enjoyed ourselves!
We went to this fabulous Italian restaurant called Bicco de Beppo or something like that. :) I can never remember the name but it was really good! Fun atmosphere and and great food.
We stayed in the Little America in Salt Lake. We slept in until 8:30 with no kids climbing into bed with us and then we had breakfast in bed! This was my favorite part! We went to the Bountiful Temple and then rescued my parents!
It was fun to be able to spend uninterrupted time with Zach! I just love him!
Four years isn't very long but it sure is crazy to think of all the things that have happened since we've been married. It is true what they say, "marriage is a journey". I am just so glad I have Zach to enjoy it with! I love you Babe! Happy Anniversary!

What do you think...

So, I just changed my blog again....is it too busy? Did you like the old one better? It's fun to change them, I think I'm just too indecisive. :p
Tell me whatcha think. Please.

I love it when blog surfing pays!

So, I didn't know what to do for dinner one night last week and so I set out to get some ideas. I went from one blog to another and found this VERY GOOD recipe! I copied and pasted the recipe into Word. I went back to try and find the blog so I could credit them and I seriously can't find it!
I will keep trying but for the time being here is the recipe.

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN:

Cut up your chicken to bite-size (However much you need for your fam)
Throw it in a bowl with a little milk to coat it (as much or little milk as you want)
Take it out of the bowl and cover the chicken in some flour. (however much flour you need)
Heat up a pan with a little bit of oil.
Throw the flour coated chicken in the pan and fry it so it's cooked through.

Sauce:
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. ketchup
1/2 c. vinegar
2-3 T soy sauce
dash garlic salt

You can add this sauce to the chicken or serve them seperate. LOVED this recipe! I loved that I already had everything on hand! I hope you try it and like it yourself! I served it with rice and veggies. YUM!
