my marathon runner!

Dear Zach,

I think you are awesome! The Deseret News Marathon was nothing short of difficult for you and Shayne.

You stuck with Shayne, you helped him through. It took you guys forever but finish, you did do! (I can't help but rhyme:))

I am proud of you and all your crazy glory! I admire your determination and your strength!

I love watching you and cheering for you when you do something hard! I love you more and more every time!

Love,

Your number one fan!

That's my Davy!

So six months ago David left on his mission. I never blogged about it.

I took these pictures from the road. :)

I felt like I was an undercover reporter.

I loved watching him hug mom & dad.

We miss his face. I have been surprised by how much I miss my brothers. Matt hit his year mark today. I do, I miss them. They are doing so good though!

Dave is in Norway and Matt is in Albania for those that forgot...and for the record. :)

looking back

Well, before this years out I vow to have the highlights posted. Hold on to your hats, I have been a slacker so there are a few posts. :)

I'm just laughing that I posted this and then blogger wouldn't let me post pictures. It didn't work yesterday and still won't work today. So, I guess you can stop holding your hat and when you see posts, you'll know to hold your hat again! :)

What I love!

...That I have an 18 month old with such a personality!

I love his SMILE!

I love his sense of adventure!

I love that he can be on the verge of falling or can be wedged somewhere & can't get up or out on his own and will simply say "hep, pease, stuck".

He loves to brush his teeth. :)

I love that when he says "shh", he puts his finger on or up his nose.

I love that when he had his finger stuck in the door he calmly looked at me and said "stuck".

I love that he will sit on my lap.

I love it when he walks up to me with book in hand & says "book, read it".

I love that he dances to any beat, including the washing machine!

I love that when he sees or someone says Tigger, he will bounce as he says "bounce".

I love that he will tackle his dad or his siblings.

I love that he can be so entertained by a ball!

I love that he loves to do anything with his siblings. For as much as he is picked on, this boy is so patient! :)

I love that when I ask for a hug, he grins and runs to me.

I love that if I lightly tickle his tummy he will hold still & when I stop he will say "mommy" so I will keep going.

I love that he loves his blanky and sucks his thumb, it's adorable!

I love Joshua! I can not believe 18 months has gone by already!!! This mommy better hold on because time is going by WAY too fast!!!
