Cleaning

May 26, 2008

Monday, Memorial Day, we started our cleaning of the apartment. It took us two days to get the kind of cleaning they wanted. Clint spent 8 hrs on the bathroom alone and I spent a good 6 on the kitchen. We were so sore and tired after it all. Again we were very grateful for the amount of support we received from everyone who either came to help us clean or fed us during this LONG ordeal. A special thanks to Aaron, Michelle, Amy and Darin who gave us a place to crash for a few days and took care of Kaily.

Conner was tired too. (=

Moving

May 24, 2008

This was a few days before moving day.

This is Kaily having fun in the mess before she left to spend time with Grandma.

We had great friends come and help us out. Thank you to those who came from SLC to help us out.This is what it looked like while getting ready. It was a long day, but here are the pics...

A few weeks *UPDATED*

May 19, 2008

Today we took advantage of some great weather and went to the park. We went to KFC for a picnic bucket and also got some yummy root bear floats.

Then we ended up in the ER for Kaily. It was her first time there. She fell on her nose while trying to climb up the slide. She was fine and they said to just keep an eye on her.

So the day has finally arrived! We are moving on Saturday and this will be my last blog entry for a couple of weeks. After the move and the cleaning of the apt we are going to AZ to see Clint's family. We will be gone until June 2.

Conner is getting so big now and he is trying to roll over and sit up. He loves to be held all the time and hates it when I put him down, or when anyone else does either. He wants to be tall and walk. He loves to stand up and loves to watch TV. Kaily is our little mom. She thinks everything should be done her way and that Conner should do exactly what she tells him to. I wish I could say that it's not my fault that she is that way, but it is. He imagination is working overtime and she is in a constant state of make-believe. It's very cute, most of the time.

Well, that's all for now. I'll post again some time in June.

Running With Angels 5k (UPDATED)

I just got home from the 5k and thought I would let everyone know how it went. The course had a lot of hills and was much more difficult than the SLC 5k. If you're interested in the course here is the link http://www.runningwithangels.com/images/map3.jpg. The run was through the Gardens, SO Beautiful! They are having their Tulip festival right now and I saw some beautiful ones. I walked/ran most of the first mile, ran all the second and walked most of the third, due to the hills. I actually did this one in 44:30, or something like that. It was about 30 sec. slower than the SLC one and I feel good about that considering all the hills that were there and the fact that my asthma acted up. It was really fun though and Kaily ran with me the last 100 yds. She was really cute; she wanted to run the whole way with me. I ran this one alone; running with someone is SO much better than running by yourself. After the move I'll get my butt in gear and start working out again.

So I wanted to make sure not to repeat the same mistakes twice so the things I fixed for this run were: I fed Conner on both sides before I ran, I bought a new sports bra (one that actually fits), I put the keys in the diaper bag before locking the door, I put the camera in the stroller before we left (now if I can just remember to put extra batteries in it), I wore my ankle brace so my bad ankle wouldn't swell. The thing I need to remember about the next run is to TRAIN before I actually do it. You know (just a thought) if I actually trained for these things I might do a ton better than I have been doing. I have to admit though that part of me is afraid I might actually do worse. I know that sounds crazy, but sometimes that's how it seams to work. You do OK if you're not training and then you start to train and you do horrible and then after you have been training a while all of the sudden you are doing great. I know, I'm crazy. So as soon as we move I'll post the pictures of the event after I unpack the "thing". If someone knows what it's called feel free to make a comment about it and tell me. (=

So busy

Things have been so crazy around here. I would show you the pics, but I packed my thing away that puts the pictures on my computer so you'll have to wait for those. We move a week from Saturday and I am SO excited. There are so many times in a day that I think would just be easier if we were at the new house, for example, Kaily loves to be outside all the time. In our apartment I can't get things done if we are outside all the time because I have to be out there with her. At the new place I can send her outside and I can leave the door open and see her from the kitchen. The yard has a fence so I feel better about letting her go out there. She can play all she wants. I am tired of having my house in boxes. Seriously there is not a room, besides the bathroom that doesn't have a box in it. I will be happy when we are done with it all. I am also VERY excite to decorate my new home. I keep thinking of all these ideas on how I want things to look and where I want to put things, it's great. I don't know that Clint and I will agree on everything, but that's part of the fun (and the headache).

An up date on the kids... Conner is trying so hard to pull himself up to sitting all the time now, he hates laying down if he's awake. He loves to watch Barney with his sister and she loves to torture him while he does. He is eating all the time and is getting so big. He is in size 2 diapers and wears 3-6 month clothes. He gets board easily with things and he doesn't like to do the same thing for very long. He always wants to be entertained, in that way he is harder than Kaily was. Kaily loves to play pretend all the time, or go to the park. They are both doing great and they are both healthy.

I am running another 5k on Saturday at Thanksgiving Point. It's sponcered by the auther of the book, Running With Angels. I am very excited for it and hope to improve my time with this one; let you know how it goes.
