6th Birthday Party at Chuck-E-Cheese.

The Balloon avalanche ready for Landon. 

Here's Leahs


House is decorated and presents ready to go. 


Between Grandpa, Nanda Cindy, and us they were Spoiled!!


Major Hello Kitty hook-up!


The Birthday girls all ready for school. 


Here's the Birthday Boy. 


I can't believe my twins are 6!


After school we headed to Chuck-E-Cheese for Landon and Leah's party. They have been asking since last year to go to Chuck-E-Cheese. We had the party at 3 pm and pretty much had the place to ourselves. 


We played games for the first little bit while we waited for everyone to get there. 



Leah landed the 125 ticket jackpot on this game!
(Helps your chances when you spend most of your tokens on the game)


Goose liked the ones that you could just sit and hit the buttons!




Then we got to meet Chucky. 


The kids got their crown/tiara and air guitar. 


Logan was so excited to see Chucky he talked about it all day, but this is what he did when he finally got to meet him. 


We ate and had cake and ice-cream. 










Then it was Landon and Leah's turn for the ticket blaster.



The didn't get a lot! But it was the main reason they wanted the party here!


And they were spoiled by friends with gifts!!



Putting the tickets in is hardly worth it if you ask me! 


78 and we had been here for like 20 minutes! It doesn't help that they rip the tickets off the machines one-by-one!!


The party group. 


Happy Birthday Lilos!!

St. George for Conference Weekend!

 We headed to St. George for Conference weekend to spend time with cousins. The weather was beautiful and we spent most of our time there in the pool. Again, I was terrible at documenting everything on the trip. Landon was able to ride the dirt bikes with the boys for a little bit and I didn't get one picture-next time hopefully!

Uncle Bubba and Dr. Nefario in the pool. 

Chicken fights!





This is what happens when you forget swim diapers. 


Night swimming. 

We played Mountain cricket over at the park. I only got pictures of these munchkins on the playground and none of Landon playing Mountain cricket with the Terry boys. Hard to be in two places at once. 

The games the boys play! The goal was to submerge all the noodles when jumping in. 


There is always a project to be done. It's better that way, these boys have a hard time sitting still. 



Lots of hanging out with cousins. We loved every minute of it!


More swimming. 


This pretty much sums up how Landon felt all weekend being with the Terry boys! Photo credit Melissa!


Getting brave jumping in from the ledge!



Bubba showed Cole some new cannonball tricks. They really are just kids at heart. 


The girls were very outnumbered on this trip. Leah was thrilled that she got to hold Maggie all weekend. Wherever Maggie was, that is where you would find Leah! 



If only this is where she could ride. She would have been a much happier camper. 



Some ice cream for the long car ride home!




Goofballs. 


Might as well teach them young:)

St. George Marathon.

I ran the St. George Marathon! It is something that I have always wanted to do and check off my bucket list. It's definitely something that I will NEVER do again. I feel very accomplished knowing that I finished it, but it was very hard to get the hours in training and let face it-I'm not built to run, or for endurance, or hops(as my husband nicely put). It was super fun to run it with Melissa! 

The sea of 8,000 people!

Getting ready to start. 

I ran like this for the first few miles because I was FREEZING!! 

Jer had little things that I was supposed to do at certain miles. We had to start with "all of my training has prepared me for this" while bringing your hand together in front of you,  we had sashays at 6, 16, and 26, (16 and 26 were not pretty!!), yell "free meal" at 10, and "taxi" at 15. I love my hubby for that reason and it made it fun!!

Here is our 7 mile selfie. 

The last 2 miles were the longest miles of my entire life! 


Super excited to be DONE!


I lost Missy at about mile 11. She is a machine and crushed it! I was glad she stuck around the finish line for a picture with me!


Lulu was so done at this point. She was a good sport!


I couldn't have done this without my support team. I am so grateful for my husband and his willingness to let me do crazy things like this. I can't thank him enough!! I was only at mile 20 when he got to the finish line. He took the kids over to the temple to go through the visitors center.


 I'm glad they had something to do(I was really slow the last 6!!) 

But a finish is a finish!
