Turkey Trot

Saturday my family planned a birthday party for all the November birthdays. We planned to go swimming at the rec center in Kamas that afternoon and then eat dinner at Kasey and Andrea's that night. We found out about a 5k taking place Saturday morning at the rec center so we decided to go to Kamas a little earlier and run the race then go swimming after. Thanks Mom and Dad for watching James and Lynnlee!

It was really cold and windy but we had fun running the race. Marshall won the race and I took first out of all the women. We both won turkeys! My nieces Grace and Lily each ran the 1 mile run. Grace took first and won a turkey and Lily took second and won a pumpkin pie.


Swimming afterward was a lot of fun! All of my siblings and their children were there. We had a really yummy dinner at Kasey and Andrea's. I love getting together with everyone!

8 months

Lynnlee is 8 months old! She was definitely meant to be the second child. She loves playing with James. He keeps her entertained. James has fun making her laugh too. He likes for her to take rides in his dump truck.

Where's Lynnlee?

When James was 5 weeks old I took a picture of him hiding in his stuffed animals. You can find that here (scroll down to the bottom of the post). I've wanted to do that with Lynnlee but kept forgetting to. So even though she's a lot older here's the picture.

She even has a blank stare like all the stuffed animals :)

Getting Ready for Bed

This is for the Grandparents. James and Lynnlee are becoming better friends now that she can do more. This is a picture while getting ready for bed last night.

Legos

This is what happens when you leave a 2-year-old alone with Legos while you make dinner. The picture doesn't quite do it justice. There were legos scattered through the whole room, under the couches, entertainment center, and who knows where else I have yet to find them.

One Month

It has been one month since Lynnlee's surgery. It is truly a miracle how well she has recovered. She only has to wear oxygen at night.

Yesterday we went to Bountiful to rake leaves at our town home. Lynnlee hung out and watched us. She kept picking up the leaves and trying to eat them.
James loved playing in the big pile. He was a good helper too. He would get a big handful of leaves to put in the garbage bag and by the time he got to the bag he had about two leaves left in his hands :) At least he was trying.
