Kade is 10 months! Our cute boy got good at walking and loved going for runs in the stroller, eating anything and everything, he is a bottomless pit and yet the tiniest guy being only in the 15th percentile.
May 5, my BFF Jourdan and I ran my 3rd and her 1st half marathon! It was a women's only race and it was so fun! Jourdan, who is way faster than me, had been having knee issues the last few weeks of training and hadn't even been running much. As the race started she was already in pain and started lagging behind by mile 3. I felt bad but I ended up just leaving her thinking she was going to have to stop. I was feeling really good and about mile 7 I looked back and there was Jourdan almost caught up to me! It was so fun to see that she was doing so well and hadn't quit! We ran the next few miles together but about mile 10 I just lost it and so this time Jourdan left me. I ran/walked the last 3 miles which were probably the hardest 3 miles I've ever done. I finished and missed my PR by 28 seconds!! It was a bummer but I was still so happy to have done it! Katie and her crew as well as Nate and the boys were there at the end cheering and that was a fun surprise!
Nate officially started his marathon training in May too. So began the many weeks of him running out to Lake Lowell and back.
I had a great Mother's Day with lots of loves from my 3 guys! Nate and Spencer went on the father and sons campout so Kade and I went to dinner with my friend.
Nate and Spencer went to the Father and Sons campout up at Pinetop.
how cute are all these young boys following Nate up the hill?!
The highlight of May was as the end of the month when Nate had to work in Salt Lake for a week and we got to go with him!
Our first stop was the Ogden Dinosaur Park. We also made a stop at Scheel's to ride the ferris wheel, visited the dinosaur museum and Children's museums at Thanksgiving Point, the best part was that our Discovery Center pass got us into all of them for FREE, going to the zoo, the aquarium, shopping, Spencer got his first professional haircut from my friend Elle, I could go on and on!
Nate's little brother Aaron and his wife and daughter happened to be in the area at the same time so we were lucky enough to meet up with them one afternoon and play at the park too! Spencer LOVES his cousins and was so happy run around with Ellie!
During the days while Nate went to his class, me and the boys stayed busy going on runs, shopping, meeting Nate for lunch at City Creek, swimming in the hotel pool, and visiting my friend Melissa from high school!
It was such a fun and busy week! On our way home we stopped to see Nate's grandpa Oren, Spencer's namesake, he is 94 and the sweetest old man! Then we made our way to Pocatello to have lunch with
Uncle Heatie on our way to Rexburg to see Jake and Emily's new baby, Hudson!
In addition to snuggling baby Hudson, we also drove up to Ashton, ID to check out Nate's marathon course and see the infamous Mesa Falls!
These last few are just from May! Playing at the park,Spencer dressing up as a cowboy in the same outfit Heaton wore, and Spencer wearing 6-month shorts because as he said, "thought I had to fart and I pooped!"
