Don't Blink

Don't Blink or your once tiny 6lb baby will be standing by herself in front of you waving and saying Ma Ma.
The last couple weeks I have realized that my baby is becoming quite the big girl. I was in the mall freaking out how every baby we passed was smaller than her, wasn't it just yesterday she was the smallest one?
Depsite the time going by so fast, I am loving this new stage.
We videoed her tonight doing her "walking". To date her farthest is 4 steps. I don't know if I will be excited or cry when my baby is actually walking.

Old McDonald Had a Farm....

And on that farm he had a LAMB!
Halloween was very low key this year seeing as how I was gone all weekend in Edmonton doing a training and it was on Sunday. But we did hit up the ward trunk or treat to show off how adorable Blakely looked in her costume my dear friend Lynlee made for her.....
After I knew Blakely was going to be a lamb, I decided to stick with the animal theme and copied this homemade cow costume from my friend Ciara. It was easy and fun and most importantly comfortable. Hank of course was game for anything, the only disappointment was not finding him some overalls!!!

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Ragdolls know how to RUN!!!

So for the second part of my trip I headed down to Vegas with 12 other crazy moms to run the Las Vegas Ragnar. If you have never heard of the ragnar races or never done one...well start training now because they are amazing. Ok when you are in them you sometimes think, now how is this fun? but truly they are so great.
Imagine 12 girls in 2 vans running a relay race for 200 miles on no sleep, weird food, and a little red bull thrown in there. It makes for an amazing bonding experience and 30 hours you won't forget. I could go on an on about it but instead I will just say try one or look at my pictures and see the fun in them!!!

My big sister and best cheerleader. When I puked after my last leg she said, "I have never been a prouder big sister, you pushed yourself to puke point". Yes that is how we roll in my family!

Ragdolls coming in HOT!!!!

We honestly did it for fun and ended up taking 6th place for the ALL WOMEN's teams. I felt really strong and ran my Personal Best on all the my legs. I loved getting away with sister's friends and cousins and making more good friends along the way.
GO RAGDOLLS!

Another Whirlwind

Like always our trip to Utah was one big whirlwind...I have included a few pictures from the first part of my trip. Getting to Utah was the biggest obstacle, since Hank was coming with us we decided we could drive instead of Blakely and I flying...bad choice. Let's just say the car ride consisted of a lot of screaming, lots of throw-up and a choking incident that I hope never to repeat. Good thing I renewed my CPR recertification this past week, now I am prepared!!! Let's just say it will be awhile before I make that drive again. I am happy to report that the way home went much smoother thanks to the single baby einstein DVD we packed, I think Hank and I have it memorized since we may or may not have watched it 30 plus times.
The main reason we made the trek down was so I could be there to help my sister Adrien as she welcomed her 4th baby girl Elle Nicole Webb. It was am amazing experience and I am so glad I was able to share that special moment with her and her family. She is the best baby ever....EVER! She is giving me hope that there are easy babies out there, however, in the meantime I will continue to wrangle my wild child!!!

Here are a few pictures and recap of some fun things we did while in town visiting!!!!

 Can you tell it was freezing?? It was!

Until next time Utah...until next time!!!

Rumor Damage Control

Alrighty, so there has been a lot of speculation and rumors about what is going on with Hank and I so here I am to set the rumors straight.
YES, there is a for sale sign outside our house....does this mean we are moving, NOT NECESSARILY, does this mean we are staying, NOT NECESSARILY. So there you have it, you know as much as I do. Ha ha
Literally our lives are in limbo right now but we figured that we better put our house up for sale because if we do have the opportunity to make the move back to Utah the house will be the biggest thing holding us back. Am I sad to ever have to give up this house???? YES MAM, I honestly love this house more than words and if I could I would put it on a truck and take it with me, unfortunately that can't happen.
To take you back to why we would even be considering a move home here it is....Back in July Hank got accepted to the University of Utah to do a Masters In Real Estate and Development. Since his life long dream is to one day own his own Development Company he really wants to do this, but of course I am not moving home without some sort of job prospect which is not easy in this market.
Second of all, we moved up here for a fabulous job. In the last little while this job is slowly coming to end so we have to be proactive!!!
I hope this explains a little bit why our house is for Sale. I am not going to lie I love it here so much, I love my house, I love the friends I have made, I love my job, I love my ward, I don't love the summers, when we get one. Needless to say when it comes time to make a decision, if it means moving home I will be very sad and torn. But also being by family is eventually where we would like to be.
So when we listed our house the realtor had a professional photographer come take pics of the house, I love how they can make it look bigger and more lovely than it already is....Since forever ago I said I would put up pics of the house and didn't so here are some well taken photos for you. I love these photos because I will be able to take the memories of this house with me, where we brought Blakely home from the hospital to and many many more good times!
