Fun Date!

me and Jeff got to go on a very fun date tonight. We went mountain biking on a river trail. The first part was really easy and fun, then we crossed the river and it got tough. It was just the perfect amount of tough--scary, but do able. We did have to get off a few times and walk, but it was fun. It took us about an hour and half then we went to dinner at Chipotles and finally got some ice cream. It was soooo fun. Crazy how a night without kids can rejuvenate one. We forgot the camera, but definately next time it was beautiful, but my butt is so stiff!

Some not so recent, but new pictures

Only 5 more days and will be in Utah! We can't wait. It will be nice for Jeff to get a break from studying 24-7 and the kids will have so much fun with all their cousins. Tomorrow I'm taking Jack and Laurie to Inflation Nation, its a jumping sliding blow up place and hopefully it will be really fun. Jeff and I get a date night on Friday, any ideas of fun cheap things we can do???

MORE SICKNESS!!

Well I thought my kids were getting better, but it was all in my head. I think I just wanted them to get better so I made it up. I finally took them both to the dr. Laurie has a UTI and an ear infection and Jack has both ears infected. I am sure glad I didn't wait any longer to take them in. I swear knowing when or when not to take your kids to the dr. is just about the hardest thing to decide. I got to babysit a 2 week old today, he was sooooooo sweet! It made Jack seem huge. I decided the best way for me to stay in shape is to run my 3 miles and more importantly chase my kids around. If you really are active with your kids I think there is no way you could be fat or gain weight, they just require too much energy.

sick sick sick sick

I hate when my kids are sick. They have had fevers, coughs, and lots of snotting noses. We had to stay inside all week! Plus Laurie had to get a cavity filled and it was horrible. I think that watching your kids go through pain is much worse than going through it yourself. I made a committment to be a lot better and brushing and flossing my kids' teeth, since they have teeth like mine (poopy) We are so so excited to go to Utah especially after such a boring week here in Virginia.

WHEW! My lesson is over!

I don't think I could ever be a relief society teacher, I stress out everytime I have to teach. Luckily, its usually only 2-3 times. My lesson went okay, last time it was bad so I guess I'm getting better. I am so excited for the Olympics, I love to watch all the running. I always get chills when I watch the races. We are all getting over colds here, I don't like summer colds, but atleast they don't seem to last as long. I ran 40 laps around the track on Saturday. Crazy huh! I don't think I'm going to do that again. I am excited for my half marathon on Aug 23rd my goal is to run it 1:50! But it is going to be extremely hot, so maybe I'll have to slow down. Read any good books lately?

Celebrations

I love to celebrate, or maybe I just love having Jeff have time off! He should be studying, but you can't study all the time. We had our own little bike parade, I will have to popst some pictures if I get my friend to give me them, Jeff had the camera. I will finish the Easter pictures since it wouldn't let me last time. Nursery was a breeze, I hope I get released and called there, but then again I was only in there one week. I do have to teach next sunday and I would much rather be in Nursery.
