A few pics from everyday life
Here is just a picture version of what its like at our house. Enjoy!
Eating WAY past nap time.
Escaped from the bathtub and goes straight to the front window.
I once told Everett this toy was a hat and so of course he thought Warren should wear it.
What I see outside my back porch sometimes.
An FHE homemade peach pie. Good times.

The title of this post is what I say about this kid a million times a day. How else do you describe him?
These pics are when we went to the park just after my 5K. Here is Rett swinging for the very first time ever!

My 5K race
After I had Everett I started running with Quinn Kirkham and lost all my pregnancy weight before I was six months post-partum so I wanted to start running again after I had Warren. My sister Jenna thought it would be a good motivator for me to run if I had something to work toward so we signed up for my first race ever!
I know a 5K isn't a big deal for a lot of people. They could probably just wake up and go run it with no training but I really had to work for it. I am not a natural runner and well...Im a pretty big baby. Running to me is pretty much torture. No literally. I'm not exaggerating. I told my mom I would rather birth a baby than run a 5K. And I was being serious. But here is a few pics of the big day. My goal was to finish the race. Hopefully in under 45 minuets but if I made it past the finish line before I passed out I would be happy. : )
Here is Jeff and Jenna at the beginning of the race...Holler!
I was a little behind them right from the beginning because I had MUCH slower pace. I knew I had to pace myself or I wouldn't make it.
Here I am at about 1 mile. I kept trying to wave to Everett but he never saw me. It was funny how he couldn't find me in the crowd. It was so nice to have my parents and Rick and Brian and my boys cheering for me though. I couldn't have done it without them!
Can you tell this is the last leg of the race? See how red my face is? : ) Jeff and Jenna finished before me and J and J and my mom met me 100 yards down to cheer me on for the last little stretch. Jenna even ran a little bit with me and threw me some ice and Jeff gave me water. Seriously a life saver!
Here's Jenna and Jeff after the race. Look at those sweaty good looking faces! Do work!
Here is me at the end! I was so happy it was over. What a relief!
Me and Jenny after the race. AKA me and my mentor.
Me and my boys...and Buzz of course. Warrens face cracks me up.
In the end. It was a good ole time. :) I want to set another goal to run another race. I'm a few pounds away from my goal weight and many minutes away from my best run ever. I ran it in 36 minutes. (I know someone could probably walk it faster than that.) But I felt accomplished in myself and it gave me confidence to try harder things. Now I REALLY respect runners. (Even though I already had a lot of respect for them. I got a little peice of something new. : )

Top ten for the week: (I love how I say this like I post a top ten all the time) :)
1. Brian passed the quantitative reasoning portion of the GRE! woo hoo! Grad school here we come!
2. Everett asks for books (now that he can say "book") almost more than he asks for movies...almost.
3. Warren is scooting along. Can move from one room to another. Slowly but surely.
4. I sold my first cloth diaper! (See our shop here)
5. Brian doesn't have to work on Wednesday for the 4th! Partay!
6. Aubrey Kirkham is home from her mission!
7. My niece Zoe turned one and we went to her awesome party.
8. Made some s'mores cookies. Died and went to heaven.
9. Lost five pounds and ran three miles (not in that order).
10. Cooked some awesome stew in my awesome sun oven with my awesome husband for sunday dinner.
Oh and here is a picture just to make this post actually interesting :)

"Saun Diago" AKA "San Diego"
A few weeks ago we got to go down with the Child's family (my in laws) and spend an awesome weekend on the beautiful beach in San Diego! They got a breathtaking time-share with giant windows that opened right up to the beach. It was such a nice break from the hot weather to hear the sound of the ocean and feel the "freezing" breeze. :)
This post will mostly be a photo dump with a few captions. We had too much fun to explain the whole weekend but lets just say I did a lot of relaxing while my sweet mother in law watched the boys. She calls it "having a good time" and I call it "babysitting," but I have no complaints. :)
Here is the view of our little time share where we stayed!
Standing on the pier. It was SO windy.
Warren...sleeping as usual. :)
Sadly...our best family pic in a long time. Can't see my face, Warren is asleep and what is Rett looking at? Well...it was as close to perfect as we get around here. :)
The view from our sliding glass doors:
The brave warrior boarders. I was too scared/cold to actually get IN the water. :)
Into the deep...
One does not simply walk into Mordor...
Rett doing what he does best: watching a movie on mom's iPad.
Got to see our dear cousins! What a reunion!
For some reason he makes that face in a lot of pictures...
Two of my men:
Surprisingly, Everett spent most of his time chasing the incoming waves in the ocean. Although he did like to play with his new sand toys Grammy Annie got for him and Warren.
It took all my strength and momentum to lift this fatty. :) He loves doing this at home! Its even better at the beach!
We had to get Warren some warmer clothes when we got there. We didn't expect "June Gloom" to be so darn cold for a five month old. I love his face in this one. He genuinely looks like old man meets gangster meets homeless man. Love my baby boy. :)
Ready to face the cold beach again!
A little bit of real life.
This is where Warren stayed most of the trip: bundled up in Grandma's arms.
Everett would cry every time we made him take a break from chasing the waves but he would cry more when we tried to make him go by himself. So we all took turns taking him. We would run toward the receding water and then turn and scream as we ran back, hand and hand, as the water came up around our ankles...well...knees if you are Everett. :)
Poor kid fell in the water first time out and got soaking wet (and it was cold and windy out) so I made him wear Brian's swim shirt to stay warm.
Quality uncle Brent time. Ps. Brent got a sunburned leg because he wasn't paying attention since he was SO busy holding warren. :)
Like the nice shiner on his forehead? Right as we were get in the car to drive to California I popped him in the head with the car door on accident. Oops. :( I didn't know he was standing right in front of me when I opened it. ha ha. I'm such a good mom.
Our set up...SWEET!
