Training

I went on a run with the boys the other day and was quickly reminded how much my boys don't like running with me.  I only made it about two miles when Ethan wanted to jump out and look for bugs! I managed to convince him to run with me, and surprisingly, he made it all the way home! 

Except for a few distractions:

 He even helped push the stroller:

And if you look closely, he did it all with his sandals on the wrong feet!  Good job little man! 

Date Night!

 

I have to say we do pretty well going on our weekly dates (I need my hubby time)!  But this time we did something extra special...we dated the cedar city way...at the rodeo!  We took my parents since they too wanted to have a true country experience.  It was fun, although I have to say for having all that real beef around, the burgers really sucked, and the nachos were a waste of calories! And by the end Dad was obviously a little bored and anxious to go get some real food...but thanks anyway cowboys and cowgirls! Yee-haw!

Remembering 9/11

Truthfully this picture was not planned in any way.  We were just snuggling in bed watching the rain when Ethan jumped out of bed and said, "Mom, the American flag! Cover your heart!" 

Aw...we taught him something!  I guess going to all those patriotic parades is paying off!  But seriously, I hope we pause and take a moment every day, not just today to say a prayer and thank God we still live in a free country!  God bless the USA!

Let's Fair It Up!

 Not gonna lie...I have been waiting all year for the Iron County Fair!  It may be small but I just love fairs!  And so do my boys! 

 Complete with a petting zoo...

 Games!  Cec and Ethan tested out how fast their arms are.  Ethan's pitch was about 14mph!

 Cecil was disappointed with his 75mph pitch, but I still think he is a whiner...I mean winner!

 Ethan won a sweet blown-up bat, which I'm confident will lead to many brotherly injuries...hmmm

Not only does Parawon have an amazing Memorial Day parade, but the fair had some other fun things to watch!  For instance, they had these giant hamster balls on water!  You pay to get in and try to move the big ball on the water...hilarious to watch!  And we got free chiropractic consultations and what fair isn't complete without some treats...mmmmmmm...see you next year fair!
