A TYPICAL MOMENT WITH DUDE

DUDE IS TURNING INTO QUITE THE LITTLE STINKER, HE LOVES TO RUN AROUND AND REALLY HAS LEARNED HOW TO BE NAUGHTY. (TAKES AFTER HIS MOM).

UTAH VALLEY 1/2

Nothing like getting up at four in the morning and going for a run.... Last week we ran the Provo half marathon. Got up at four, rode the yellow bus up Provo Canyon only to promptly come right back down again. It was fun and there where a lot of people there (4000 registered). Jill did great and completed it in a little over two hours. I was lucky to do 1:41 but was a minute and half longer than last 1/2 (give me a break I just turned 39). Anyways we had fun and are going to do the Hobbler Half in four weeks.

Run Forest Run...

Here is Jill after completing the memorial day 10k. We both shaved 4 minutes off of our time from last year. Anyways just a nice warm-up for our 1/2 marathon in two weeks.

Dylan and Kaitlyn's graduation

This week has been busy with the last week of school. Dylan had his 6th grade graduation on Wednesday. He earned the Citizenship award and the Quest for Excellence Award. Here he is looking handsome...

Here is Dylan with one of his best buddies, Tyler.

Katy had her pre-school graduation on Thursday and was looking very ladylike as you can see in this picture... hee hee. Ok, the chairs were a little small for her. She IS the tallest one in the class. :)


Here is Katy with her preschool teacher, Tracey. She was awesome and we loved her very much. Hopefully Dude can go there when he's 4.

BEST FRIENDS

One of the nicest things about the two youngest Dude and Kate is that they are best friends.. Seriously they do everything together. It starts in the morning (this is them around the breakfast table), and it doesn't end till the day is over. They rarely fight and you can tell there is a special bond with them. I have noticed that whenever Dylan picks on Kate (which he does a lot) Dude will instantly go after him. Here are a few more dressup pictures of them. In Dudes defense I am pretty sure that he has absolutely no clue what is going on, or what wearing that dress implies. He just wants to be with his best bud. It is nice to see this special bond.

Kinlee's soccer team

Kinlee started playing soccer a few weeks ago and here is a picture of her cute team. She is in the back next to the coach. It's been fun, but very cold. She's even played in the pouring rain and her team does really well. We'll see if she wants to do it again next year... not sure if she loves it or not yet :)

BLACKMAIL.....

DUDE, ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT I AM KEEPING THIS PICTURE AND YOU WILL SEE IT LATER IN LIFE AS A SWEET BLACKMAIL PICTURE.

Garmin is not my friend.

So its that time of year again. Jill says I am getting fat so I need to start running again. So I started running a few weeks ago and it feels good. For the last week or so I have been tracking my runs with a GPS. After a long sweaty run your mind tells you "I must have run atleast 4 or 5 miles, you look down at your watch and it reads 3.1 What the crap..." So Garmin is no longer my friend, my friends atleast let me fib a little, Garmin does not.

An Easter Poem by Kinlee

I found this poem on the desk of the office today so I thought I would share it :)

5 Little Bunnies

5 little bunnies sitting on a bench
The 1st one said "Do you have a wrench?"
The 2nd one said "Let's go have some fun!"
The 3rd one said "Should we go run?"
The 4th one said "I'm too tired."
The 5th one said "Wow I just got fired!"
