It's been a while

Well I have been trying to think about what I should blog about for a while and nothing super great has come to me but here goes. Jaylin broke our camera so we don't have any pictures as of late to post. I might get a new one today so that is super exciting! Life is flying by. I can't believe my little Jay-bug is almost 1.. She is the sunshine in our home. Anytime she wakes up in the morning or after a nap and you walk in her room she has the biggest smile on her face (priceless). She still loves pretty much any food we give her which is so nice for me. I am surprised since Jason and I are both fairly picky eaters. Sometimes it's hard to go to work and leave her which makes me grateful I only work part time.
Jason and I are leaving to Kauai with our friends from Arizona on the 28th... I have never been to Hawaii and I am soooooo excited but I'm also nervous to leave my baby even though she will be well taken care of (and i'm sure spoiled) while we are gone. This is a great opportunity for us and i'm looking forward to spending some quality time with Jason since that hasn't happened in a while. Jaylin will turn 1 while we are gone which makes me feel bad but at the same time I know that if we're going to miss a birthday this is a good one since she will never know.
I've started training for another half marathon a few weeks ago and it is going great... Today I was able to run outside which I LOVE!! Sometimes training is so hard when you just run around and around the track at the gym. I'm pumped and excited that my mom is doing this one with me.... She's having some trouble with her hip but hopefully we can get it better so that she can continue training and we can finish the race side by side. I also have a few good friends running the race and i'm excited because for two of them it's their first. There is nothing like your first half marathon.... the dedication to training, nerves on race day, feeling when the gun goes off, pain during the race and finally crossing the finish line and having that feeling of accomplishment. I never thought i'd run a half marathon and i'm now training for my 3rd. Hopefully next time it will be a full marathon which scares me to death.
Next time I post I should have pics from Kauai and from Jaylin's bday party.

Am I in Whoville?

That's right the closer it gets to Christmas the more people talk about how much our precious baby looks like Cindy Lou Who. You can judge for yourself.

Then just when I think that it can't be possible I see a dog that looks kind of like Max in our house. Minus the splint on his poor broken leg and add a horn to his head I think we have a larger version of that cute little dog. I know he could pull a sleigh.

Then there are moments like this when I know Cindy Lou Who isn't a Who after all. Who's wouldn't cry around santa, not even if they are small.

However, our precious little Cindy Lou Who likes santa sometimes. If her belly is full and sleep has been given she's just smitten with the jolly ol' man.

This is a picture I had to include because I think our little Cindy Lou Who is cute as can be. I wonder however, who could our Grinch be?

Jaylin's 1st Halloween

For Halloween Jaylin went as the Cutest Cow you'll ever see!!! We went to our ward Halloween party and she wasn't quite sure what to think but Jason and I had a good time and got to eat all the candy she came home with. On Saturday we went with my mom and cousins to the zoo. It was so much fun. Jaylin would just watch the animals and smile and wave her hands. It was so cute! Here are some pictures of our little calf.


I loved that the chic-fil-a truck was at the zoo and thought that it would be funny to take this pic.

Isn't she just so cute...

She loves getting dressed up for church.


Her favorite toy=paper... I think Christmas is going to be cheap this year... we're taking magazine donations..

I have been debating cutting my hair now for a couple of months and with Jaylin getting so good at pulling it I finally decided it was time. I wanted to cut enough to donate it to Locks of Love and so my cousin Brittany measured it and cut it for me. I happen to love it!



We made it to Jaylin's first Wyoming football game. We had to go to Provo to do it though which wasn't quite as fun as Laramie but it still made for a good weekend. The only thing that would have made it better is if the pokes could have pulled off a Win.
