Running

OK, so one of my goals this year is to run a 10k and maybe a 1/2 marathon. I have been"training"(I use that word loosely) for about a month and a 1/2 and yesterday morning I ran 5 miles!!!! This is huge for me because I dont think I have ever ran 5 miles in my life. So I am almost to my first goal of 6 miles, thats less than half to my second goal. I dont know if I will make it to that one. Just my luck I'd get knocked up before I get there.

THE BIG 30!!!!

Happy Birthday Lance !!!! He just turned the big 30 and he was not so excited about it. I decided to throw him a surprise birthday party. We had a bunch of friends over and Lance got so many cool gifts....... His mom and dad gave him a snore reduction pillow(for anyone that knows Lance, he tends to snore a bit). His sister gave him an enema and hemroid cream. Since he is thirty he is now an old man.


Heres Corbyn posing for the camera. Yeah he a little white trash without his shirt on but thats how we roll.
Heres our family with the birthday boy. Dont worry, Lance also got himslef an ipod, so he acutally got one real present. Lucky guy!!


He also got a really nice cake that was made with love by some of our friends
I do believe that he had the coolest birthday ever.

makin cookies

The other day I was making chocolate chip cookies and Corbyn was playing with his playdough in the dining room and he came over to me while I was baking the cookies and handed me this tray that is the top of his playdough carton and had made me some cookies all by himself and put little round balls from another toy as the chocolate chips. I swear I gave him zero help, I didnt even know he was making them. They are so dang cool. He is my little artist. Now I can add baker to his list.
These are his gingerbread men that he made after he made me cookies. Notice the eyes, they are the same balls from the chocolate chip cookies. He's got quite an imagination.

Corbyn and Blake eating lunch


Blake was eating a sugar cookie and the frosting ended up in his hair instead of his mouth
what a poser!!

The other day Corbyn and Blake and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch and corbyn managed to get more on his face than in his belly and Blake got more in his hair than anywhere else. Corbyn realized I was taking pictures and decided to start posing, thus the very lovely pictures.

Saying Prayers

Ok so lately we have been trying to get Corbyn to say the prayer at dinner, and his new thing to say when we ask him to say it is "I already said it last morning..." What else can you do but laugh. You know he had to have learned that from someone. If anyone has any suggestions for getting him to say them, let me know please.

This is something I found on myheritage.com and this is extra funny because when joey fatone was on dancing with the stars, my nieces used say that they wanted to watch Lance dance.

Ok, so a few weeks ago I repainted my family room, dining room and kitchen while Lance was gone on a business trip. I am way happy with the results. What do you think? Please ignore the mess in the kitchen.

10 years ago today
I was a senior in high school, I spent my time hangin out with my friends Rachel, Staci, Natalie, and Paul. I had a job at Rio's Swimwear which I had for about 2 and 1/2 years. Both my older sisters worked there before me. I only had 4 classes which was pretty sweet. I was also in the process of picking colleges and decided to go to SUU in Cedar City. That is where I met my husband.

I enjoy
Spending time with my two boys and my husband. I enjoy running, cross country skiing, going shopping, traveling, teasing my sister about getting knocked up again, scrapbooking, and watching the shows the soup, the office, and Chelsea latelty.

What would I do if I were suddenly made a millinaire
I would definately take a few trips and invest most of it. Pay off my house and maybe buy another one somewhere else. Oh, and buy me a few coach purses.

3. We built our house on our own, besides the help of his brother
4. that I primed and painted 3500 square feet, which adds up to 7000 suqare feet in our home
5. when I was 8 months pregnant with blake I worked on my hands and knees putting the hardwood floor down in our house.(it was more comfortable than just sitting on the couch)

I am sending this to Jaime , Lindsay, and Ashley

Well, In the last few weeks we have gotten so much snow here, more than I have ever seen since I have lived here. Heres a few pictures from the last storm. This is the front of our house, we have had to shovel the walkway every day and now it is completely covered because of the drifts.
This is what it looks like off of our back porch. To give you perspective, the orch is about 6 inches from the ground.

Here are two of my boys going for a 4 wheeler ride in the snow. Corbyn loves playing in the snow and he loves the helmet he has on, he would wear it all day if I let him

Here is Blake with his favorite person in the world at our super bowl party. He likes Bubba(Lances brother, real name Skyler), more than me or lance most of the time. He loves to cuddle with him, I do think that lance gets a little jealous, Lance says that Bubba must be his real dad. By the way, he is single so if anyone knows anyone, let me know
