Let's Go Fly A Kite

It took a week but we finally got some good wind to fly my kite. We went to the Hill Air Force Base Elementary School Playground and had a lot of fun with the kite. We all hada chance to fly it except Alana who took a nap for most of the time.

USU 5K Spring Run-Off!

Here we are again at the USU Alumni Association Davis County Chapter 5K. This is the 3rd year we have run this 5k. Chris did awesome with a time of 28:04 . I came in with a time of 36:26. I was pushing the stroller with Ryker ans Alana for close to 3 miles. Finished it off with an Aggie Ice Cream and a Pic with Big Blue!

Mothers Day

May 8th was Mother's Day. I had a great day! Chris made French toast for breakfast, took care of the kids as much as possible, and made ribs for dinner with a lemon cake. YYYUUUMMM! Plus he did the dishes - ahhh he is amazing- It was a wonderful day!

Chris also got me soem great gifts- cotton candy, blended skittles, a gift card to JoAnns and a kite!

It was raining so we had to wait for another day to fly it. So on Thursday the weather was good and a there was a breeze so we took out the kite. Yeah you can tell there are no kite pictures so it really didn't fly unless I was running with it so we will try again. We did get some cute pictures of Alana and Chris.

April Showers and other random days

Here are a few random things that have happened duning the end of April and the beginning of May. The weather in Utah has been the wettest in 25 years so we had a tent picnic inside complete with sandwiches and grapes. The next pic is of Ryker fishing. He goes to a friends house on Tuesday and we study a letter this was for "F". Fish and Fishing.

This is a delicious pizza I made for dinner using my Cousin Megans dough recipe - delicious! thanks Megan! topped with mushrooms, green peppers, turkey pepperoni, sausage, and cheese YYYYYYUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Ryker got some tools for Christmas from the Alabama Grandparents and he was going to town fixing his bike.

Rykers one job is to put away the silverware. He has gotten really good at it!

Alana sporting her cute hat and being a cheese! She has lovely blue eyes and her smile is contagious!

Ryker is really into Spiderman. When you ask him what jammies he wants to wear he says "My Spiderman with wings" at the same time he raises his arms and his eyebrows. Chris got him this neat punching bag that he had a lot of fun with. Chirs was punching it and Ryker said "Dont touch my hotdog!" it lasted for about 2 hours and then broke :(. Still fun times!

Easter

This is the first year we have done Easter baskets and egg hunting. Since Ryker is old enough to find eggs we hid 2 dozen around the house. It was really fun to see him find them and the treasured m's (m&m's) peeps and jelly beans. Alana wasn't sure what was going on but she loves to watch us looking for eggs. Ryker likes marshmellows but didn't really like the peeps.

The kids are getting bigger

Alana is getting bigger all the time. She can now play with her butterflies. Ryker thinks he can read a book instead of take a nap. the book was propped up but by the time we got the camera for a picture it had fallen over. What a cutie!

Legacy Duathalon finish line

Here is the viedo of Chris crossing the finish line - I don't know why my camera takes it showing lengthwise but then when you go to watch it is is not turned.

Legacy Duathalon

April 16th was the 2nd Annual Legacy Duathalon. Since Chris' toes have some issues from running the SLC 1/2 marathon last weekend Chris decided to participate in the short race. It was a lovely day for a race and he did really well- it has a stagered start so that is why everyone is lined up ready to go. They do a run bike run. I have a hard time finding him in the crowd he wore his SLC shirt - finally he was easy to pick out wearing bright yellow!

Salt Lake City 1/2 Marathon

Chris has really gotten into running and he said the other day that he was addicted to it. He has been training for the SLC 1/2 Marathon for a while and it finally came. We all got up early and headed down to SLC. We thought there woould be more traffic so we were there in plenty of time. Alana, Ryker and I waited by Sugar House Park and waited for Chris and Greg to pass by. Ryker kept running back and forth on the lawn so he is fuzzy.
Then there they were, Ryker got a high 5 from Dad, and we headed off to the finish line. I still have not been able to get a good finish line picture of Chris. I am lookingand looking and then there is he over the line, nuts. He had a great time running the 13.1 miles- 2:04:36!

Chris and Greg posing with their medals and Chris's nasty toes after the race they had blood blisters. The still look gross- there is a video of when he took off his sock but I think I will spare you from it.

Discovery Gateway!

We had the chance to go the the Discovery Gateway with Megan's Joy school group. Ryker was running all over trying to take it all in, if I blinked or looked away off he would be. I had him dressed in red so I could see him easier but there was a large school group there and they all put on red smocks- so it wasn't very helpful. He loved playing in every area, construction, the house, water table. At the store you woud have thought he was on supermarket sweep he was zooming about and taking things that were in other carts if there was no one with them.
They have an actual medical helicopter outside on the roof that the kids can sit in the front and the back. I am not sure about the face he is making- Alana had a great time too especially when she fell asleep in the carrier.

Ryker loved playing at the water table, he kept going ack and getting mad that someone was playing with his green bowl. Funny Kid.

We went up to the capital building and had lunch the tree had losts of bees in it- I don;t think you can see them in the picture but it was buzzing. What a wonderful day!
