5K AMAZING RACE

My good friend Kelsie and I did the funnest thing ever.........we ran in the amazing race in Rexburg. There were hurdles, hay bails, tires, river run, mud running, army crawling, fire jump, and I can't remember much else but it was EXHAUSTING!!! We took 140th of 205 contenders consisting of men and women and they clocked us at 53 minutes. All the proceeds went to the orphanage in Ecuador. They had a little kid 1K and I am excited to have Jaycee do it with me next year.

Before.........

By the way, like the second obstacle was jumping into a deep canal over our heads. So we were completely wet from then on. We made 2 mistakes.......not wearing spandex pants and wearing mascara. We were holding on to our bottoms to keep them on and mascara ran down our cheeks the whole time.

After.......

Definitely going to be feeling it tomorrow!

Aynslee Turned 3!

Aynslee just graduated from the terrible two's! Okay, okay she is still pretty sassy, but we love her so much. She had a good birthday. We got her a play kitchen and a scooter, she doesn't stop playing with both. We had my family over for a BBQ/pool party/water balloon fight. It has been a LONG time since we got together even for a dinner since we are so busy these days. I decided that I would be one of those cool moms that make the birthday cake. Luckily she chose Hello Kitty and I think I did pretty good.......






Halley brought her whole clan......love her twins. They are so smiley and giggly. This one is Emmi (I think I am her favorite)

Chelcey brought the newest addition, little Lynlee. So we lined up the girls. From left to right we have Lynlee, Lainee, Alli, Emmi. It was difficult to hurry and take a pic before little Lynlee got her hair pulled, scratched, or even bitten by one of the other girls! The twins are ruthless to each other. Always pullin hair, eating each other's clothing, and rolling everywhere. Whew, I don't know how Halley does it.

Here are the two cutest baseball girls.............Halley made them dresses. She is the best Aunt ever.

Joldy's team had a fundraiser alumni baseball game. He needed to save some pitchers for the real games this week, so he was the pitcher. I had to take pics because it has been a long time since I last saw my husband on a mound, in a uniform, striking out batters. He still has it! Struck out like 11 batters in like 4 innings. Yes, he is old and was hurting the next day.

Happy Fourth!

We had such a quiet holiday! Sometimes it is nice to kick back with just our little family. I started the day with some long hours at work, but Joldy was a good dad and took the girls to the parade and then for lunch with me. I also have some exciting news.!!!!!!!! I became an Aunt again. So after I got off work, I headed up to the hospital to witness the miracle of birth with my sister Chelcey. They had their baby girl and named her Lynlee. She was in labor for 18 hours yikes! She weighed in at 6 lbs 8 ounces and 18.5 inches long. She was vacuumed out so she has quite the bruise on her head for a war-wound. Both mom and baby are doing fabulous.

So after that I headed home and lit off some good ol fireworks with the family. I had made some fun celebration snacks and then the girls crashed for the night.

"Baseballin"

Our little Aynslee asks a lot of questions in a day. One of my favorites....."is dad baseballin today?" Most of the time my answer is yes. Even though we have a house full of girls, they still play ball with dad inbetween games.
