Happy Birthday to three more of my favorite people

Happy Birthday America too!! This is us on the fourth of July at Murray Fun Days.
Happy first birthday to my beautiful baby girl tomorrow!!
The 15th was my Jonahbear's 3rd birthday. Love you buddy!
My dad always says "Only special people are born in July." It must be true because my birthday is in July, both of my babies birthdays are in July and of course my dad's birthday is in July. Happy birthday dad on the 31st!

Where June 2008 Went

Kaylee had her very first piano recital. She is a musical genius. She did a beautiful job playing "The Rainbow Song." Yay Kaylee!
It just wouldn't be a normal post without a Sadie and Brinley picture.
We went out to dinner at Thaifoon with Mark and Joann Spencer and Spencer and Rachel Haymond. Then, the boys decided to walk through the Gateway fountain fully clothed on the coldest day of June. Nice.

We gave Brinley a bath in the kitchen sink - she thought it was pretty funny to splash water all over Daddy. Dad's having a hard time staying dry lately!!

Happy Birthday to two of my most favorite people

My awesome husband turned 32 on June 3rd. Sweetie - you are so old!!!!

What we've been up to

We love dressing Brinley in funny outfits.
We took Jonah and Brinley to see Thomas the Train in Midway.
We went to see Sadie in the Eagle Mountain cutest baby contest. She made the top 10!!!
We went to visit Grandpa on Memorial Day and took him some flowers.
The kids went swimming in our backyard even though our HOA has a pool three houses down.

Jonah's Joy

Okay, so 2 and 3 year olds playing soccer is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my whole life. They all run around the field in a big group - that is those who will go out on the field.
Jonah gets this look of sheer joy on his face whenever he plays any sort of sport. He has been waiting his whole life for this (:
This was his first time playing goalie. Doesn't he look fierce? It was funny when the other team got the ball down to the goal and Jonah politely moved out of the way so that they could kick it in (:

Jonah is my soccer-playin' fool!! I can't believe how much he loves it.

My First Race

Okay, so I just have to say that I completed my very first race last Saturday. It was a 5K and it was actually really fun when I wasn't in pain. I love how when you finish, there are people there handing you hot dogs. Like, I just ran off some calories and now I need to undo whatever good I just did 5 seconds after finishing the race. That and when you are already going to puke from running,what you really need someone shoving a hot dog in your face.
I have to say the very worst part was getting up at freakin' 5:00 AM so that I can hurry downtown to torture myself. In spite of all of this though, I can't wait for the next one!!
I finished in 30 minutes and some odd seconds and I'm pretty sure I can beat that next time because I had a huge side ache for most of the second and third mile.
My favorite part of the actual race was looking to my right and seeing some 6 year old kid beating me and then looking to my left and seeing some 90 year old man beating me and then looking ahead of me and seeing some freak dressed up like Spiderman beating me. Good times!!!!
