oh ya know

what have we been up to the past week? Oh ya know just a little bit of this...

I went with the madre to watch cousin Coco play Wasatch in a playoff soccer game. Unfortunately we lost, but Coco had a great year! He was on the front page of the Spectrum sports section after their win to Judge Memorial! Gus was a trooper the whole way, even in the blasted Heber City wind!

Me and the Gus monster. Our first Mothers Day together. (taken during sacrament with Kyle's phone;) Mother's Day is soooo much better after popping out this cute little boy! Definitely one of the hardest things I have done at times, but also THE MOST rewarding!! Love this little guy to pieces and his daddy as well. They gave me two months to get skin cancer(tanning pass) and it came with two free frozen yogurt coupons!

This was the Gma's Mothers Day gift. Silhouettes of one of their favorite little grandsons:)

Gus met Kyle/Linies dog Sage. Gus loves dogs, it doesn't look like it in this picture, but a few moments later he was grabbing him and smiling!

I gave Gus a stick off of Gma Linie's tree as a chew toy. He loved it! I figured that is what the pioneers would do. right;)

Gus loved watching the ducks, one of Gma Linie's animals on her mini farm.

Gatorade and Sydney showing Cowboy to Gus.

Gus just loves Cowboy. He loves him sooo much he wanted to eat his ear:)

Gus chewing on the stick and watching the ducks for entertainment.

Amy got out the baby book, and we decided Kason, Coco, and Gus look a little bit alike:) They all of Gma Becky's big eyes for sure.

Post 202 - Breezy

I have no idea why this pic is so huge. This is me and Arthur Lebaron, he ran it with his wife and son. He took this pic and then posted it on Kyle's facebook with the caption. Kyle where are you? haha

I forgot to do the whole 200 post thing, so this is post 202 for me. I realized I have done 100 posts since Gus has been born:)

Breezy. You know when you watch the weather guy and he says its going to be a little BREEZY in St. George/Hurricane? Well his definition of BREEZY is way off... I jokingly told a friend when I picked up my race packet that if it was going to be as BREEZY(windy) as it was right then she wouldn't see me there. So 4:50 am rolls around, in the state of mind I am in (Gus and Kyle took turns waking up every hour I literally got maybe 3 hours of sleep) I decide its not THAT BREEZY and I should just get ready and not sleep through another race;) We board the buses and the entire time I am on the bus I am thinking I should run to my car and grab Kyle's sweater that was sitting on the ground in the backseat... Hindsight is 20/20 ya know. We get dropped off in Elim Valley and the moment I step off the bus I knew just what BREEZY meant. I was freezing my hiney off. Luckily there were people there with plastic garbage bags so I made a make shift windbreaker that saved my hiney. I ran with it on until mile 10. The wind gusts were crazy, I felt as if I wasn't moving. I kept thinking that as soon as I climb the enormous Sand Hollow hill the wind would die down. Well I climb the dang thing and it was 100 times more gusty! I was freezing, not in half marathon shape, and hating the BREEZY gusts every step of the race. There was a police truck a couple ladies behind me following us and I thought for sure I was one of the last runners on the course. So I booked it, well I told my mind I was booking it I think I was doing 13-14 minute miles by the last two miles of the race;) I didn't want to be the last runner or even considered one of the last. I mean how embarrassing is that! I told Kyle this and he told me there were lots of people behind me, if I had only known I would have walked a little of the last two miles. I finished definitely not my fastest race, but I finished. It took me 160 minutes, and I was so happy to be done to squeeze both of my boys! My sweet hubby played with the boy and kept him entertained while I ran!!

I just checked weather.com. Windy 20 mph with gusts of 30 mph. crazy crazy

slum

Our backyard, it has come a long way since this day one year ago almost to the day. The sand box is still a work in progress, as well as the garden spot. This year the garden spot is literally a garden spot, but next year it is going to prob be planter boxes around the perimeter and pavers or somethin? We were too cheap to buy the already grown privacy hedges, but some day our cheapness will pay off with some privacy;) I spy with my little eye a baby Gus. Do you spy him?

we got a quote to have the beams and roofing replaced on our patio, so that will be coming soon. Our friends also helped us choose a color to paint the trim on the house. Can't wait to finish that project it will look really good;)

Mmmmm...

I gave rice cereal to Gus on Saturday for the first time. He acted really interested in eating our food so I just decided it was time. As you can see in the pics the first few bites he was impressed I was actually feeding him, then the taste hit him. It is really funny to watch after a few bites he starts to shudder at the taste!

Easter Sunday

Gus just wanted to gnaw on the box that his new book came in. He looked so cute in his new Easter Sunday outfit, but I did not get any pics of him in it. We had a wonderful Easter Sunday. Church was very uplifting, and after our church we got to go to a missionary homecoming. One of Kyle's customers sons just got back from serving in the South. I had 40 minutes from the end of our church to the start of the homecoming (in Santa Clara) to make roll dough and funeral potatoes for a dinner later that evening at my sistas house. I made it, I did forget the diaper bag on our way there so we had to flip around to retrieve it. Gus was wide eyed and bushy tailed Sunday morning he woke up early, when he gets older the Easter bunny is going to come on Saturday. My mom did it that way so Easter sabbath wasn't sabotaged by bunnies and eggs:)

Hip Hip Hop don't stop a rockin

Easter Saturday we celebrated at the Hurricane Easter Car Show. Our to cool for us friends the Funderburks entered their sweet truck into it so we hung with them all day. Macy and Gus had a grand ol time. Gus tried eating Macy's voluptuous legs a couple of times:)

Easter WWF Style

Our annual WWF Easter partay was tonight! We had yummy food, an easter egg hunt, a pinata (Dudy brings one every year), hula hoop contest, and lots of candy!
