I love having girls

Sugar and Spice does not exactly cover the description of girls. I think sugar, spice, hormones, and extreme emotions is a much better description of girls. Annie has been going through a very fun stage of crying and crying and crying. I love it! I just have to keep telling myself that so that I don't go crazy. It is actually sort of funny! One minute she is completely fine and then the next she just starts crying. And who knows what made her cry but I think this time it was because I took a picture of her. Aren't girls so much fun to have around? It probably doesn't help that she is still teething and has three coming in right now. She really is a good sport about it all. And she is starting to walk a lot more. When we are in the house she walks around a ton but outside she has a much harder time. Hallie loves watching her walk and usually is there cheering her on every minute. They love being together and play so good together. Hallie is such a good big sister and puts up with a lot from Annie. She really is turning into a little mom to her. It is amazing to see how young they pick up the mother nature. She is so sweet with her and Annie absolutely adores her.

Hooray for new Jobs

Tyler just got a new job today. He worked at the lab up on campus and once in awhile would work at the lab above them but today the lab above him offered him to go full time. He of course said yes. He now gets benefits and all the good stuff, plus, now he will be able to quit the interpreting job. Which means no more long nights and no more falling asleep in class from lack of sleep. He will definitely miss the interpreting job but this will be a good change for him.

Farm or House?

We forgot to put these cute pictures of Hallie playing with the chickens at Tyson and Lori's house. Hallie is a major animal girl and was thrilled to see that they had a coop full of baby chickens. I love the backyards that Janae and Tyson have. It almost seems like a farm when you see all the animals on it and the kids absolutely love it. Hallie, Maddie, and Emma also love being together. Here are some cute pictures of the three of them. It makes me so grateful to have such a wonderful family. Hallie and Annie love seeing their cousins and love each time that we have family come to our house. Even Annie remembers who everyone is.

Does this look familiar?

So here we are yet again with Grandma Char in the hospital. This time we hope it won't be a serious thing. She needs her gall bladder out and a fixer-doo on some problems that her small intestine is giving her. They should admit her soon, so we will come home while she is resting and getting ready to back under the knife.

This is a really unfair picture too... she is kinda doped up on some drugs and she did not sleep good last night either. She is funny when she is on drugs too.

Annie is getting big

We finally got Annie's hair to go into pigtails. She looks so cute and it definitely brings out her crazy personality. She is still not walking yet but she is getting more daring every day. She now walks with holding just one hand and will stand up on her own and take a few steps. I think she is just a little scared but will soon do it. She has the funniest personality and we love it. Life would be so much different without her so we are glad that she came when she did. Her favorite thing to do right now is say no and shake her head. Any question you ask her is followed with the same answer. Although, Grandma Borrowman got a smile instead of a no which she has not done for anyone else. We sure love our little Annie!

We did it!!!

We had the Ogden Marathon Relay on Saturday and it was wonderful. We went up Friday night with my mom and dad and then Nick and Megan met us later that night. We all stayed in the Marriott hotel. Hallie and Annie didn't sleep very well so neither did Tyler and I. We had to be awake by 4:30 so we could catch the shuttle to the start line but sweet, little Hallie decided to get up at 3:30 so it was an early morning for everyone. My mom was so great and came and stayed with the girls while we went. Let me start out by how beautiful this course is. If anyone ever wants to run a marathon, this is the one to do! Tyler ran the first leg and did decided to continue on with me on my leg. But about mile 11 his knee was killing him and he had to walk so I continued on without him. But he still managed to make it. Nick and Megan were waiting for me at the 3rd leg and looked quite excited to go. Tyler and I had to take the shuttle back down which took much longer than we thought so I was not able to run with my dad but he seemed to do just fine without me. He by far had the hottest time to run and still was smiling when he crossed the finish line. So all in all Tyler ran 13, I ran 6, Nick and Megan ran 13, and my dad ran 3. It was so much fun and we definitely want to do this again. Maybe next year we can get my mom to run the 3! Oh, I think we ended up doing it in 4 hours, which is pretty awesome for our first race ever!

My Husband...

Just when you think you have your husband figured out he does something even more wonderful! Thank you Honey for all that you do for me. You truly have made this a special day for me. I love the fact that you are mine for eternity!
