4 Miles

My friend, Amanda and I went running the other night. She is an avid runner and in great shape, so I was a little intimidated, but she was patient with me.=) I used to run 3-5 miles a day in college and I haven't run since a year after Hailey's birth. I did other exercising, but just didn't have time to run. Well, I ran four miles and it wasn't even that hard. I wasn't really sore the next day and am so excited because I feel like my passion for running has been reignited. My friend, Mikaila ran a half marathon and wants to run one down here in a few months. I would love to do it!! I am going to try hard to be ready. So, here's to retrying things!!

Congrats lady!!
It always feels good to get back into something that's been undone for a while!! T just did her first marathon today, I'm so proud of her. I would LOVE for you to do the half!! I just committed to T today, so think about it. It will be so cool. Cheers to a good butt!!

Yay for you!! I can't believe you ran 4 miles just starting back at running and it wasn't that hard...not fair! I wish I liked to run, but I just don't, so I get bored/sore/worn out and just give up. Good luck training for the marathon!

We have been doing a lot of swimming, popsicle eating, water playing, anything to keep cool in this awful heat! This $15 pool was the best purchase we have ever made, in my opinion! Spencer loves it because it is just a big bath for him. Some people in our ward "donate" their pools to us hot people. It is great. This is Spencer's first swim. Poor kid. Believe it or not, he did enjoy it. Hailey swam across the pool with her floaties, so she was pretty psyched. About ten seconds after the swimming. He was so pooped!

Spencer getting ready to become a Priest for church. He was pretty happy about it and his new responsibilities. Wlliam always being slightly choked. Blake hung up my organizer I got from Marci Durrant's barn sale We had pasta making night competition. It was so fun to use our new pasta roller. Hailey and Spencer and Blake were a team. Brooke and William and I were a team. We really need to do this again! First time Spencer did temple baptisms where he was the baptizer. He baptized Taitlyn! Woo! Lovely winter sunset Made something new! The boys ate them right up! Lunch with Hailey! Another fun bakery order! That's it for January! Always a bit exhausted after December.

Brooke Eileen Bell was born Aug 24th at 11:11 pm. 7 lbs, 15 oz, 20 inches.....and tons of great black hair!! Heres the story for all you interested people. I had cleaned the house all day and played with the kids. Was about to make dinner around 4 and started to feel a little weird and crampy, but didn't think much about it. Around 5, I was making chocolate chip waffles for dinner and realized the contractions had gone on for an hour and were about 3 minutes apart now. Called Blake and said I might be in labor, but don't worry, it would probably go away. Kept making waffles...called my mom and told her I was probably in labor. Blake got home, left for hospital around 6. We went to the ER and they said go to labor and delivery. Around 630, I was at a 4. Got all set up on IV and by the time epidural came around 830, I was at a 6. Moved to a 10 pretty fast after. Pushed a few times and there she was!! Hooray, no more summer pregnancy.=) We had to stay in the hospital a f...
