Tidbits

If going only by my blog and a lack of posts one would imagine that we have done absolutely nothing the past few weeks, but it is quite the contrary...we have managed to stay relatively busy especially on the weekends... I have just forgotten to take my camera time and time again!! I really need to get a camera bag so that the camera can be ready to go when I am flying out the door but I just always manage to forget to look when I am out shopping...anyhow here are a few updates on what we have all been up too....
-Zachary had a tournament at the Tropicana Hotel where he came out on top with 2 first place finishes and 1 second place finish..way to go we knew it would only be a matter of time before he got used to his new age/ranking group!
-Maile has really been enjoying her preschool class and seems to be growing up before my very eyes..she has also managed to stay well even though all of her siblings have been sick off and on for two weeks now.
-Lexi and Becca are just busy being two and driving me crazy!! It would be more effective if I ask a brick wall to do something rather than them! Seriously I am hoping this stage passes quickly...but on the other hand they say and do the cutest darn things ever.....I am sooo soo glad we found the charger to the video camera so we can capture some of the hilarity that comes out of their mouths! Hopefully they will stop being sick as often as well.
-Zach has gotten really busy at work and even though I miss seeing his handsome mug around the house I know it is probably best...to me him being busy means job security! We will just have to make the most of the time we get to spend together! Did I mention Zach went to the gym for the first time since we have know each other?? I am proud of him and hope he makes it a habit I wouldn't mind if he buffed up a little hint hint if he reads this!
-Lastly on to me. I am typing this after an amazing weekend and if I had written this prior to Sat. my outlook may not have been so upbeat. But I figure those feelings are better off where I ditched them at mile marker 2 on the 5k I ran this weekend for our stake track meet. I was pretty pumped that I beat the only other 5k time I had ever earned. I came in 53 and finished just under 27mins. My relay team also won our relay and that was awesome too....But that wasn't the best part of the day. It was the teamwork and the camaraderie that we all shared with each other making it a really amazing activity. Everyone really came together to support our ward..go Pinnacle!!!! I also got a chance to go to church this Sunday by myself and anyone who has little toddlers knows that it means I got to actually listen!! All the testimonies that were shared really brought the spirit among us and I was reminded of the testimony I have gained over the past months since I was baptized and how much it has changed my life for the better. I just want to say that I have some really amazing people in my life and I am forever thankful for them.
