Catching Up

Wow!  Being so sick for a month means the blog suffers too!  We are very excited for our new baby who is due on December 10!  I'm very excited to be starting to feel a lot better, and VERY grateful that the sickness has let up a little bit sooner than with my other two.  Tyrel and the boys have been so great though!  As well as lots of friends and family who have helped...THANK YOU!!!

Now to catch up...
In May we walked the "Race for the Cure" with my sisters, brother in-law, and nephew.  It was a good experience, and the boys loved being able to participate in a race.  And as always, my boys are just SO cute, I had to share.

Family Picture

Easter 2012

I got to help out at Silas' Easter party at school.  This is what I made with the kids.  Also, Izzy and I got a little crafty and made some Easter decorations.  I sure LOVE my Cricuit!

The Easter bunny had to deal with cold weather and snow this year, so he hid the eggs inside.  On Saturday the boys had a great time hunting for eggs, and their baskets.  Silas was so sweet to Logan.  If he just found an egg, then he would either go put the next egg he found in Logan's basket or show Logan where the egg was so he could grab it :)  Earlier in the week we dyed eggs with Izzy and Scott, and again with Grammy on Sunday. 

Moab 2012

This was our 3rd annual trip to Moab.  We go every year to run the Moab 1/2 Marathon in memory of our sweet nephew Blaze.  The past two years we have rented a condo and just played in Moab for two days with family.  Something we all look forward to!  The boys had the greatest time playing on the giant sand dune.  They both trucked it all the way to the top without being carried.  Silas was the first one there.

Race day was amazing.  The weather was so perfect this year!  It was a little warmer than it has been in the past so we weren't totally freezing while waiting in the canyon.  But it wasn't too hot either.  The only problem was the wind.  The last 2 miles were running directly into the wind which was...annoying to say the least!  Tyrel has two herniated discs in his back so he didn't get to run this year.  So I was very grateful that Steph was running with me!  That girl is AMAZING and I'm so proud of her for running the whole thing!  It was really great to a running as the "Running for Blaze Team" and a good chance to think of our angel nephew as I ran through the canyon.  My other motivation was my brother.  When I started to run mile 10, "Little Wonders" came on my ipod and I instantly thought of Jon and decided that mile 10 was for him.  It was very emotional for me and I soon started running at a 7.5 minute mile!  Well there weren't any mile marker signs after 10 so it turned out that the rest of the race was for Jon!  I had a great experience running the 1/2, but was VERY glad to be done training...I haven't run since!  Thanks Janet and Ray for starting a beautiful tradition!

Logan and Silas' Sweet Dance Moves

Momma and Poppa King Come to Utah!

We had a fun visit from Tyrel's parents and a chance to play with Janet, Ray, and Grayson.  They came to Utah and stayed the weekend for Kavi's wedding dinner.  We had a great time playing, and at the Indian wedding dinner, we even got to dress up in saris.  Logan was the entertainment of the night as he debued his dance moves.  That kid can sure shake his little hips!

Jazz Game and Potty Tales

Pa gave us some free tickets to a Jazz game.  The boys loved being there, not so much for the basketball game, but for all the other stuff going on.  Silas was totally satisfied as long as he had the blimp to watch.

And my little Logie Bear is potty trained (except for nighttime)  which doesn't really even count right?
He was so excited about his Thomas undies that he picked out and to sit on his Cars potty seat.  He loved the Skittles he got when he had success and he loved sitting there and having me read "BusyTown stories" over and over again while he sat on the potty.  Our only problem was that after 2 weeks he still hadn't made poop in the potty.  (We were a little tired of cleaning out poopy undies!)  I told him the first time he made poop in the potty that we'd take him out to an eating food fun place.  So finally, he made poop in the potty and we got to go to Chuck E Cheese with Grammy and Aunt Styfe.  Since then, he has had few accidents, doesn't use the potty seat anymore, and likes to pee at the same time as Silas.  One day Logan came out running with excitement.  "Mom!  Si and I both peed in the potty!  Yeah and we made an X with our pee!"  Oh the joys of having boys!
