Helping Papa...maybe
Brooklyn and Jaxon "helping" Papa Keith with the leaves! My parents yard has a lot of trees and every year there are a TON of leaves...I'm not sure how much they helped but I checked on them a few times and they were actually picking up armfuls and putting them in the trash bag! And then I saw them running through the leaves a few times!

Presents for Jaxon
Opening presents! The funnest part of having a birthday!!
The car Jake built
Jaxon and his car
Today is Jaxon's birthday and I can't believe I have a 3 year old! Even though we had a party for him last night we decided to save a present for him and let him open it on his birthday! He and daddy spent the morning deciding what they were going to make and decided on making a motorized car! He has been playing with it all morning and luckily Jake could build it before he went to work (because I have no skills in building things, especially with all the parts)! The age Jaxon is right now has probably been my favorite! He has such a great sense of humor and pulls the silliest faces and says the funniest things! He is still in love with books and every time we go to Costco he chooses to look at the books first and then toys! He's becoming more independent and more stubborn but we can't help but laugh because he's just so cute! We love our little boy! Happy Birthday Jaxon!

Birthday Party for Jaxon
The Big 3!!
His birthday cake! We bought a few trucks to put on top of the cake and Jaxon even helped us decorate it with Tootsie Rolls!
We had a birthday party for Jaxon last night with Jake's family and had a lot of fun playing games, watching Toy Story 3 a few times and Stuart Little! He loved having his cousins come play-and it's always so funny to watch Jaxon around all the boys because he gets SO excited, and poor Wyatt kept getting jumped on by Jaxon. We babysat the kids for a few hours and Gale was so upset because he missed his mommy! He stood by the door and cried for a while but then he eventually had fun running around, playing with the kids!

Happy Halloween!
This year all three of us dressed up for Halloween! Jaxon and I went to one of the local high schools and had fun at a Trunk-or-Treat! He had so much fun going through the halls and getting candy from the students and teachers! I heard on the radio about a local dealership having a little party for kids so we went there and got a free pumpkin and Jaxon had his picture taken with a SPOOKY background...I love his picture!
These were some pictures one of our friends took and I just took a picture of them...sorry for the glare! My camera is actually working!!
He was the cutest dragon ever! All week he had been telling Jake and I that he wanted to be a hippo-and I had no idea where he got that idea, but then after watching "How to Train a Dragon" he was more than excited to dress up in the dragon costume! He was the cutest dragon and played the part well, by saying "RAWR" to alot of people handing out candy! Jake dressed up as a bank robber and I dressed up as Minnie Mouse! I had the perfect red and white polka-dot shirt to wear and Jake made me some mouse ears that were perfect! We had so much fun going around our neighborhood and seeing many of our friends who were also dressed up! We also went to the mall for a Trunk or Treat and so after Saturday night Jaxon had a ton of candy! One of our friends, an older gentleman in our ward was taking pictures of everyone who came to his door...so I'm going to have to see if he will give me a copy of it because my camera is broken and the one year I actually got Jake to dress up with us we werent able to take any pictures! We had such a fun Halloween, and had Navajo Tacos for dinner, and came home after trick or treating and relaxed! Now it's times to get out all my Thanksgiving...and getting more and more excited for the holidays! We are looking forward for Jaxon's birthday this week and going up north this weekend for my neices baby blessing! I'm so excited to see my family!! I hope everyone had a great Halloween!

2010 St. George Marathon!!
My Brother-in-law Paul, Sara, and me just getting off the bus before the race! Paul and Sara both did awesome in the race! I kept up with them for a while but they both were so fast! They both finished a little over 4 hours! AMAZING! For some reason Paul and I were pretty relaxed before it started-I thought we would have been more nervous but we just enjoyed the scenery! My mom and sister couldn't sleep after dropping us off to load the buses, so they went to Walmart EARLY that morning. Great job Sara and Paul!
My first marathon
The photographer told me to strike a pose! This was around the Winchester Hills and I was starting to get tired and this is the only pose I could think of!
My friend I met while running the race. She helped me finish strong!!
Well I can officially say that I ran a marathon! I am so tired and I've been in some pain but it's been completely worth it! I started of following the 4 hour pacer for about 7 miles and then I started to slow down a bit, but when I made it through Veyo there were a lot of people cheering everyone of the runners and it helped me get pumped again! After the Veyo hill I just had a ton of adrenaline and I almost ran the entire race except for the uphill areas (I wanted to save my legs)! I found someone who I could keep up with just before the Veyo Hill and eventually we got to talking and we ran the rest of the race together. I was so happy to have found someone to run with! It made time go fast and the support made all the difference in finishing strong! Once I made it onto Diagonal-about mile 22 I think, my back was killing me-after so many stops at the aid stations to have Ben-Gay rubbed on my back, it just wasnt helping anymore and I started to hunch over-and that's when spectators started yelling my name and telling me I'm almost there I can do it. A few people handed me and my friend a popsicle and all of a sudden I got a burst of energy and followed through till I turned the corner and I could see the finish line-the greatest site! Jake and my dad came ran up to me telling me how well I had done and I started crying once I saw them and my family at the finish line. My legs were gone but I was still pushing through it and I made it to the finish line WAY before I had ever expected! I wanted to run it within 7 hours and my time was 5:34. I could have never finished the race without everyone's support. Im very very sore, but I would still do it again, there's just nothing like finishing a marathon and feeling invincible! Thanks again to my friends and family for all their amazing support and keeping me going!

Birthday with My Boys!
Yummy Oreo Cake!
Jaxon giving me birthday kisses!!
I had more pictures but they won't upload for some reason! I had a very fun birthday with my two boys and I even got to go on a date with Jake! We dropped Jaxon off at the neighbors and then he and I went to see Eclipse! I had such a fun night and I was excited to get to go do something just with Jake-because we hardly ever do anything by ourselves. When we picked Jaxon up, before we even rang the doorbell, we could hear him giggling so hard-I know he was having so much fun! Today he said he wanted to go over to the people's house..meaning the next door neighbors to see their toys! I'm sure kids get tired of their own toys and it's fun to see what other people have!

The Lion King
Last year for my birthday my sister and our friend bought me a ticket to see The Lion King and the Capital Theatre in Salt Lake. The play wasnt until August of this year and so I was anticipating it all year long! One of my favorite things to do is to go to plays and I usually go to at least one at Tuacahn, but I haven't even done that this year-but I really want to see Tarzan...anyway back to The Lion King-can I just say that it was one of the MOST incredible plays I have ever seen?! It starts out with the actors coming down the aisle singing and their costumes and makeup are incredible, and it was breath taking hearing their voices and being so close!! My favorite was Scar-he had such a great voice...there always seems to be one or two characters that just stand out to me and he was that one for me! It was just a fun girls night out-I guess afternoon out really because we went to a matinee! I have heard it's also playing in Vegas and I'm sure it's great but this cast was just awesome! Afterwards we went to dinner over at the Gateway-it was yummy!! Jake and I also celebrated our anniversary and went on a little driving trip just stopping without planning anything-sometimes that may not be good, but it worked for us-we are spontaneous when it comes to trips and we enjoy just driving and hanging out with each other! If you have a chance to see The Lion King-DO NOT pass it up!
