A VISIT FROM THE TOOTHFAIRY!

Jaygen has wanted to loose a tooth for a long time. He said that only him and one other boy in his class at school hadn't lost a tooth yet. Well, finally Jaygen lost his first one....wahoo!!! He has had two bottom teeth loose for awhile now but they weren't quit ready to fall out yet. Todd and I have been telling Jaygen scary stories of when we were little and lost our teeth. My dad always pinned me on the counter and yanked them out with pliers. Todd said he had a lot pulled out with a string tied around them and a door knob and then would slam the door. Well, of course, when we told Jaygen our stories we had to make them sound even worse than they were. Poor little Jaygen didn't know if he should be scared or excited to loose a tooth anymore. He didn't have to experience any torture though, because his tooth got so loose it just fell out in his hand...pretty lucky boy. I guess I will keep my pliers ready for next time...ha ha! Jaygen was super excited to put his tooth under his pillow and sure enough the toothfairy came and brought him some gum with a dollar taped to it. Jaygen couldn't have been happier!

No more "Jimmer Time"!!

Todd got my boys pretty excited about "Jimmer Time" during March Madness and Jaygen even wanted to fill out his own bracket. He did a pretty good job with it. I laughed because he wrote most of the teams backwards down the right-hand column...ha ha! When ever my boys were playing basketball, they would always pretend to be Jimmer. And they would ask, "What time is it? It's Jimmer time!" Oh, we have had lots of fun with it. Well, my boys wanted to have a "Jimmer party" during the BYU/Florida game. So we went to the store and bought lots of treats and were all ready for the game. For a bit we thought they had a chance but then Jimmer kept throwing up three-pointers and they were not going in. I don't know why he kept throwing the ball up, but anyway, when the game was over Jaygen went in and got his bracket off the fridge. He said he was changing his pick to Florida and it wasn't "Jimmer Time" anymore! You can't really see it in the picture, but Jaygen crossed out BYU and wrote Florida backwards above it. Jaygen always makes me laugh! I guess we aren't true Jimmer fans after all!!! :)

Moab Half Marathon!!!!

Stacia, Tiff, Me, Darla

Well, this race could be summed up in one word...WIND!!!!!!! Holy cow, did the wind blow?! Good thing I don't do races just to run, it is more about the fun girls time I get! :) The four of us gals headed out for the loooong trip to Moab. Good thing we didn't brake down or anything because there is nothing between here and there.

I was so excited when we drew out because we put in for this race last year and didn't draw out. Moab had some really yummy restaurants that we ate in and some fun little shops that we walked through. We all ended up buying the same running shirt and decided spur-of-the-moment to all wear them to run in. We totally stood out, but hopefully we might get on the race website with our matching outfits!

I am amazed that I actually finished the race still alive because of the strong wind. The wind was blowing like crazy right in our faces the whole race. Living in Delta we run in the wind a lot, but this was even worse. I felt like I need to put my arms out and try to swim or something through the wind. I got a full body work out that is for sure. But, oh my heck, they had good food after the race, which kinda.....kinda.....made up for the wind. They had cinnamon bread, cookies, chips, string cheese, chocolate candy, and chocolate milk. Wow, that is my kind of after race food! :)

Thanks for a fun weekend gals!!! Now just think, our next race is the big one...our marathon!! :)
