I am so behind so I am starting with Easter figure a short post and pictures for everything we have been doing! We had an awesome Easter...we always do:) We went to our city Easter egg hunt Reddek actually kind of got it so it was fun. Rulon didn't get it at all he started crying when they rang the bell and everyone started running. We went to golf with my parents and Rachel and her family that Saturday Tons of fun:) That Sunday we went to Jason's moms for a bbq and HUGE Easter egg hunt. The kids were so excited ... we put some money in a few eggs this year and they were stocked! I love our families and am so glad we have so many relatives close by so we can make fun memories for our kids. We are more than blessed just look below you will see my two cute reasons!

Summer Fun

I can't believe school is starting again! I love my summers with my boys. I take total advantage of the time I have with just them to play play play!!! Jason is right when he says we haven't been home much this summer...we go to swimming pools, bike rides, walks, parks and grandma's house. I am so blessed to have summers off! I am also blessed to have two fun, crazy, cute, energetic, and nice boys. I am excited for Preschool to start but I will miss our lazy mornings watching cartoons and going for runs or walks...staying in pjs until 10 or 11 then swimming suits the rest of the day. It is sad to think this is Redd's last year before Kindergarten...I am going to miss my man but this year I will enjoy watching him play and learn at preschool. I can't find my camera to upload pictures from this summer! but I wanted to put down my thoughts before life gets too crazy again.

mY lItTlE mAn Is GrOwInG uP



Redd learned how to ride his bike without training wheels. Ever since I have been a mother I have feared potty training and teaching them how to ride without training wheels well my first has them both mastered! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? The cool thing is i didn't do much of anything for either one! The story...
It was Wednesday night almost a week ago about 4:45 I was in cooking dinner Redd was outside climbing a tree or playing baseball something outside, when he comes in and says I want my training wheels off. (we have tried this before took them off for a couple days he doesn't want to try it so I put them back on) I was like NO WAY i have to finish dinner dad is almost home and you have your last t-ball game in two hours. Redd not today. My neighbor which is one of my beehives says she will help him. Ok whatever we took them off. She helped him once and held on the seat and so I tried and got him going and let go. He was so good he learned so fast! That night he could start himself stop and turn. all within 20 mins. Jason came home and was really surprised! When Redd puts his mind to something he does it. You can't push him when he isn't ready he isn't ready but when he is watch out nothing is stopping him. I love this kid. Now tonight almost a week later he is at the instacare with his dad! He was turning totally wrecked and bit through his bottom lip. DANG:( I am sure it won't be that bad but I felt bad for the little guy.

~ThOuGhTs~

So life is fun and crazy as ever! I keep waiting for the time to slow down a bit but i have come to the realization it will always be crazy busy so i just need to enjoy it:) A day doesn't go by that I think of how lucky I am for my cute boys and Great husband...i don't know how i got so lucky but am glad i did! Last weekend I ran my first half marathon. For lots this isn't a big deal and it wasn't for me it wasn't very hard wasn't very sore, but lets go back about 9 years...
In high school I HATED running...i was one that would cheat on how many laps i had ran when we were suppose to run the mile. I just couldn't do it! In college my worst class was PE...yes i would rather take math biology chemistry anything but PE. THEY MADE YOU RUN 1.5 miles at the beginning of the year and then beat your time at the end. I passed i wasn't sure i would but my hot boyfriend (jason) was in the class with me so i had to step it up:) I started running before i got pregnant with Reddek. Jason and I lived in West Jordan and we would go to the gym together every night (oh the days before kids) so about every night i would run 1/2 hour and i HATED it! I continued to run through my pregnancy and stopped hating it. It was a time I would gather my thoughts from the day and a great stress release for me. So to say i have ran a 1/2 marathon is CRAZY to me when i think about who i was. I now love running if I am stressed or mad I need to go for a run it gets all my frustrations out! I am now getting packed for Ragnar! HOORAY:) i ran it last year and mad some really good friends and we had so much fun. This year I get to run it with my friends i grew up with just across the street and their spouses. I know i am not going to get any sleep and miss all my boys like crazy but I am Super excited!!! Jason doesn't get it he thinks it is crazy to pay money to go run crazy amounts of miles...but he is good and supports me doing it:)
sorry boring post i have just been having these thoughts and needed to get them down somewhere before i forget! and we need a new computer so bad...so no pictures:(

I totally suck!!!


Well I didn't start blogging until Reddek was about 1-1/2 and now I have missed Rulon's first 1-1/2...so i am back on:) Life has been so fun lately. My boys play so good now, it is so fun to listen to them and watch them interact with each other. Rulon learns a lot from Reddek. Reddek understands Rulon the best...sometimes in the car Rulon will be fussing i will try all kinds of things to keep him quiet then Redd will say mom he just wants this and he is usually right I give Rulon that and he stops fussing. Everyday I feel so blessed to have the best two cutest boys!!! Rulon has been talking lately, his favorites are Thank you, Ball (of course), Bubble, Hi, Ni Night, Bye bye, cheese, uh oh, and Daddy. He is such a fun cute boy.
Reddek has finished his second year of Preschool! He knows all the alphabet sounds and names, can write them all and knows all the numbers up to 30 at least and can also write them. His birthday is in November so we still have another year of Preschool...what are we going to do?!? He has started reading small simple books. T-ball started again and Reddek absolutely LOVES it! He gets excited for his games and does great. I can hardly keep Rulon off the field he Loves balls!!! We get to start swimming lessons soon again I am excited I know Rulon will love it and Redd might take a little bit to warm up to the water but hopefully he will enjoy it. Reddek also did his first primary talk on Sunday. He did a great job! I am so proud of my boys and love them so much.
As for Jason and I we have kept busy doing yard work the few nice days we have had. We are also on a co-ed softball team which has been really fun! Jason still does music in his spare time between work and he just finished his GRE test to get into his masters program! I am training for a 1/2 marathon, Ragnar, and Epic this summer!!! I am excited for the races and hope it helps keep me motivated to get in shape:) I will be better at updating...because this summer I get to stay home with my boys!!! WE are going to have an awesome summer:)
If you have any preschoolers I am opening The Ranches Preschool in my basement next year. I have 3 or 4 spots open so let me know if you are interested.

~LiFe As We KnOw It~

wow life is good:)
still need to update about Christmas, New years and everything in between...but i am not!

Life has been good lately! The cold keeps me inside slows me down and lets me spend lots of good quiet days with my boys. The cold doesn't stop Reddek...him and his cousin are out everyday if it isn't absolutely FREEZING or snowing out there. They love getting snow clothes on and exploring in the cold with bright red noses and frozen toes. They come in sit by the fire and drink their hot chocolate while watching a show, makes me wish i was a kid again:) Rulon stays in with me...not by his choice i am sure he would much rather be out with the boys! He loves watching them run gets him excited. But i think he loves the alone time with his momma too. He is growing up so fast and we are falling even more in love with the little kid. I try to soak up every minute I have with my boys because time is going by so fast. I know I won't have this time forever so we try to enjoy bath time, reading time, hide-n-seek, and yes even those crazy times when i think my house is going to fall apart from all the running and screaming. ENJOY YOUR LIFE!!! I try and remember someone will always be prettier, someone's house will always be bigger and cleaner, someone will always be skinnier, just enjoy what you have:) cause when i think about it i wouldn't change what i have for the world...and i am sure none of you reading this would! wish i had photos of my cuties...just picture the cutest blond haired boys and those would be them:)
