Completed Goal

So I have been busy the last few months. In December of last year I decided that I was going to train to do the Colfax half Marathon. I talked my Dad into it so together we trained to do it. My Goal was to Finnish under 2 hours and 15 min. I figured since I was training in Castle Rock where there is no flat surface I could do it. After many miles of training and working through a pulled muscle the race day came. It was great we got there at 5:30 am the Race started at 6:00 am I t was great my Dad and I started the race and we moved along at a pretty good pace. Until about mile ten when the legs started to get slow and the joints started to hurt. Luckily adrenaline kicked in and we finished in 2 hours and 7 min.. It was a great experience and it was wonderful to do it with my dad. The question is what is next: Another half marathon on September 20 and the full Colfax Marathon next year. Any one want to join?

Resons why we are behind.

Jared turned 5 December 16. He had an only boy Birthday Party.Autumn turned 1 on December 21. She was included in Jareds only boy birthday party. She Started walking at 9 1/2 months.

Christmas December 25. We also had a great Christmas we had Doug's family over for Christmas dinner. It was a fun time.

So do to the busyness of December we took the month of January off to Recover.

Doug was Laid off!!

Our family life is changing more this week then I could imagine. On Thursday last week Doug was laid off, do to the lack of people buying houses. Luckily for us Doug has seen this coming for a long time now and has had another job in the line up doing commercial welding. So yea he has a job. But as for me he will no longer be phone call away when I need him, or they hey lets get lunch, or the occasional I need help and he would be there. I have taken him for granted these last few years. I am excited to see what tomorrow brings for us. Luckily he has a job.

Hallowen Partys

We went to Doug's parents ward party last night. It was a lot of fun. I think this is a hot family Picture.

We also had our ward Halloween Party on Saturday. Lets Say of Course It was a lot of fun. Here are the Hottest Girls Around..
We got the Idea after seeing Mama Mia. The Shoes where the coolest 6 inc heals with a 4inch platform it is a surprise that I can walk..

Autumn

Autumn is getting so big. She is getting more mobile each and every day. She is so ready to walk it is not funny. I also realized that she has the Girl attitude I want what I want Now. She is also exploring the world around her and recognizing what noise means what. For example when the bus is coming down the street that means Ethan is home and I should wake up from my nap. Or when the garage opens Daddy is home all get to the door to see him. It is great to watch her grow.

Jared End of Soccer

Jared had an awesome soccer season. He scored a few goals, took the ball away from the kids, But most of all he realized that he whats to play tackle soccer because it is so much fun to make the other team fall on the ground and some times he just liked to fall on the ground. He had fun being on Cole's team and just being able to run around with boys. He is Awesome. Mabey we should look into football!!!

Ethan Is Seven

Ethan turned seven on October 17. Yes some days you don't know how he has made it this far!! He has the seven year old attitude or maybe the first grade independent attitude. But we love him any ways. This year he was so excited for his birthday that it was so much fun to do. It was a superhero party He loves spider man, and batman. At this time of the year I realize how much the lord has had his hand in Ethan's Life and in Mine. He is such a blessing to me and he has taught me to slow down and see the wonders of the world and also to stand up for those who can't stand up for them selves. I love him more each and every day.
