Yesterday, we went and watched my mom, Jason, Travis, and Carol run in the Top Of Utah Half Marathon! It was very exciting! It was so cold. When we got ready at 7:00 a.m. we all dressed in shorts and sandals. By the time we got out of the car in Providence (near Logan) it was a 58 degrees. I worried about my two small children and wondered where my brain was. We wrapped our kids up in a Levi blanket and headed for the finish line. Jason and Travis ran the race together and finished close together. Travis took FIRST in his division and this was his FIRST half marathon. Jason took third in his division. Carol ran 8 1/2 minute miles and she had not trained since July-WOW! My mom did amazing. She had a HUGE cheering section. When she got by us we all clapped and yelled for her. Jason started running with her to keep her going-I guess. It was an incredible experience. It almost makes me want to run-almost.
Oh and on a side note, Darwin and I took Hurley to the doctor on Wednesday because Hurley had not pooped since last Saturday, well he finally did-at the race-all over-he filled up his diaper-pants-shirt-and blanket. Darwin used all of the wipes we had with us to clean him up. I was quite excited that Hurley had FINALLY pooped and my little baby was naked (except for a diaper) for the majority of the race. Again, where was my brain-I did not bring spare clothes for Hurley?!?!

Thanks for cheering me on. I am glad that you ALL came. It is hard to plan on weather. Cache Valley really does seem to a lot cooler than it is here.
Holy smokes. You were right - I have missed ALOT of your last post. I apologize! I didn't even seen the Mary Kay sale or I would have got some this weekend - Darn it! Glad to hear the great news about Hurley - finally going the potty :) What a fun princess party for Jensyn - every little girls dream. It was good to see you this weekend - as always. You look great, stop stressing!
Glad to see that Hurley is pooping again.
Wow your family is amazing! I can't even imagine running that far! Congrats guys! It's nice that babies always decide to have a huge blow out when you aren't at home and can just throw them in the bath tub! I bet he's a happier baby now that he is pooping again! Man, the things that excite us mothers. Haha!
That is awsome about the run. I am curious, what did the doctor say about him not going for so long? My little girl is doing the same thing. I take her to her 2 month check up tomorrow and was going to ask my doctor about it also. Love to see what your up to and congrats on your beautiful kids.
Brandi, the doctor said to wait it out. She did suggest glycerin suppository (spelling?) if I wanted to use them. We bought them but didn't use them. Also, she said I could give Hurley water in a bottle. (Do you have a blog?)
