LOVE DAY

Valentines Day was such a fun day! First off, I was really glad Tanner was able to go to school and have his Valentine party because they sent him home the day before with pink eye. So glad the eye drops work so well. Anyway, he had a really fun day at school. He came home with a bag full of valentine's and picked one out for me and said I got this one just for you. It was a princess one that said "To:Tanner  From: Kate",what a stud to share his valentine's. He picked one for Jocie and Nate as well. When we got home from some errands after preschool there were a dozen colored roses and some treats for the kids from their Daddy. SO SWEET! We then got to go out to dinner since there was babysitting provided by the Truman nursing students. We went to Ruby Tuesday's and seriously ate WAY TO MUCH food. But it was delish! Then we picked up the kids, put them to bed and hung out the rest of the night. I LOVE my kids and hubby more than anything and feel so lucky and blessed to have them in my life. It was a great day! Feel the Love!

FREEZING 5k Today

I ran a 5k this morning at 10am. Last night I was worried I might not get to run it because I had a bad stomach ache but I felt much better this morning. Anyway, it was at Thousand Hills and it was FREEZING!! I picked up a friend and we were just so excited - huh Allie :) Before the race started I couldn't feel my legs, feet or hands. It was even funny after it started because my lips felt 5 times bigger than normal and went completely numb. I warmed up pretty quick since there were a couple hills not to mention a KILLER HILL towards the end. It was lovely! Anyway, we left right after the race and then Melissa (another friend who ran it) brought me over a 2nd place medal. I was so confused because there were like 5 girls in front of me, so I didn't even think I placed. But 4 of them were in high school so not in the 19-29 age bracket like I was. I was STOKED! It may sound pretty lame but I've always wanted to place in a 5k. I've been so used to running slower paces due to marathon trainings and so forth but lately I've been trying to up my pace and I guess it paid off today. It was probably because I couldn't feel my legs so they could even go faster or something and there were probably only like 60 people signed up. Anyway, I had to post about it since it's been a goal for FOREVER and it finally happened!!

Utah Trip 1/21 - 2/01

The kids and I took flew to Utah on the 21st for 10 days just for fun. They had $65 deals in November and we wouldn't pass it up. Nate obviously couldn't come because of school. We had a lot of fun. I was a little worried at first because I've never flown with just the kids and I. They did better than I thought. Not saying it was easy but we got through it. Tanner is a pretty good little helper. We stayed a few nights with my in-laws, one night at my Nan & Pop's, a night at my older bro's new house, then we got to see my younger brother and his wife's new house and then they took us to see my grandma gillen and then we drove up to Logan to finish our days there. We did lots of fun things. We went to movies, went to the Beach Resort, went to Red Lobster, Cafe Rio and Red Mango, played games, went to the fun center in Logan where Tanner won the jackpot at one of the games, (it was awesome) and the kids got to see all of their cousins and play. It was a lot of fun!! There are a billion pics but had to remember the memories. Enjoy :)
