We ran the half marathon on May 15th (Wahoo us!) We ran it in 2:29. My goal was to finish under 2:30... Jordan was so awesome! He ran with me the whole way, even though I know he could've gone faster...he is SOO supportive! My dad ran the last 5k with us. He was signed up to run the full marathon (this would have been his 5th or 6th marathon) but he had pneumonia a little while ago and blood clots in his legs about a month before. It was fun to run with him...it was a good boost at the end!
Kinda funny, the night before the marathon, Jaylee started screaming/crying around 7:00 pm. She didn't stop until 5:00 am! We tried everything! Orajel - it wasn't teeth, Tylenol - it did nothing, Food - not hungry ... we tried everything to calm her down! My mom watched her while we were running, and I think she was so wore out from the night that she just slept the whole time! So after the half we took her to the doctor and it turns out that she had 2 ear infections! Yucky stuff! She is doing much better now, except one ear infection won't go away. It doesn't seem to bother her though, so that is good.
So over Memorial Day we went up to West Yellowstone with Jordan's parents, his sister and her family. On the way up, we stopped in Tremonton to eat ... and we probably won't EVER eat at this restaurant again! We both got food poisoning! So the whole first day I was sick and the whole second day Jordan was sick! :) Luckily Jaylee didn't get anything! Besides the throwing up, we had a blast!
We went into Yellowstone one day. That was fun. Our goal was to see a bear...and...we did! We saw a cute little black bear! They are cute!
So, the day that I was sick, Jordan and Jaylee and Marla (Jordan's mom) went to feed the horses at the place we were staying. While they were feeding the horses, one of them sneezed all over Jordan! Eeeewe! :) Some of the sneeze juice got in Jordan's eyes...so when Jordan came back to the cabin his face and eyes were all swollen! Apparently he is allergic to horses! It was kinda funny, but I felt bad for him, he looked miserable. The day we left we went on a horse back ride.
I haven't been on a horse since elementary. In elementary I watched my best friend (Ellen) break her collarbone falling off of one, and I haven't been on one since. It is on my list of goals for my life to get back on a horse...well, I rode one! His name was Doc and he was a really pretty white horse. Him & I were buddies...he listened to me and sometimes he told me to listen to him...he knew what he was doing and I was going to be fine. I LOVED it though! I told Jordan that I want a horse now - but we would have to get like 10 that are already trained trail horses that follow each other...I liked that.
So, it is summer, and I got to go boating a few weeks ago...and I surfed! (It has been 2 years since I've been able to do that! I didn't get to last year because I was pregnant.) It was so fun! The water was freezing though!This week has been pretty busy and eventful!
The busyness ... Saturday was Blake's birthday...he got some sweetical sunglasses! My parents bought him a hamburger & french fries cake. It was pretty funny. Sunday was my newest nephew's blessing. (Mitch & Amy's son Ty). He is such a cutie...he smiles alot! Monday was my 26th birthday! I don't feel 26...it is weird to say that! We went to Sonora Grill and ate for my birthday. It was good times! Tuesday was Marla's birthday...we had dinner with the family. The Avner's are so fun!
The eventfulness ... On Thursday Jaylee got her first tooth! She was just a little ornery until it cut through...then after that she was good! It was one in the middle on the bottom. Then on Friday Jaylee got her second tooth! It was the other one in the middle on the bottom! So now she has two little teeth and she thinks she is pretty neat! So then Saturday night at Blake's birthday party, Jaylee decided that she wanted to crawl! So now she is crawling, scooting, and pulling herself up on everything! She learned that she can pull herself up on the side of her crib, so instead of going to sleep she will grab onto the side, pull herself up and bounce! And if we don't go to get her, she eventually starts to cry, sits down in her crib, puts her head down and pouts. She is such a silly girl!
Since it has been warmer weather, we have been playing outside more. The other day Jaylee was sitting on the lawn, I was checking out my awesome garden that my mom and I planted that is starting to sprout little plants... (OK..not so awesome, just a few rows of corn, sunflowers, beets, onions, spinach, and a pepper plant and a tomato plant!) ... and I looked over at Jaylee and she was holding up a leaf and had the biggest smile on her face...she found a prize! It is so fun to watch her grow and learn new things!
Life is good!
