The Allens Invade Oklahoma and Texas!
My brother just started residency as an Orthopedic Surgeon this past year so he and his family are stuck (ha ha) in Oklahoma City for the next couple years. We miss them all dearly and decided to make a family trip out to see them and also to go watch a BYU game in Dallas (which is just a few hours away). It was kind of a random crew that came along but we had such a good time and wish we could have stayed longer. Hank of course was left behind due to his insane work/school schedule but luckily I had lots of help from the family with Blakely. The BYU game in Dallas was at the famous Dallas Cowboys stadium and it truly was incredible to see. We did a lot of driving but Blakely was a champ and her and her cousin Caroline knew how to cheer on the cougs right. We miss the Allen's desperately and are so excited they will be here this weekend to party Christmas style!
The crew in Dallas at the most insane expensive shops!!!

Blakely and Caroline cheering!
Who doesn't love a good soft pretzel!
I am thinking we will need a repeat of this trip very soon with all the Allen's in tow we could really make a bang!

My Ladybug Princess
Miss Blakely thinks she is 6, and she will tell you that! She was also convinced that she wanted to be a princess for Halloween, yet her mother had already got a ladybug costume. I thought oh man she will forget or how could she really know what she wants to be she isn't even 2, boy was I wrong. Crisis was averted when we made her be a princess ladybug...tutu and headband included!!
Blakely loved Halloween!! She trick or treated with her cousins Amelia and Olivia for 2 hours. She walked up hills to every door...did her "trick or treats" and "thank yous" and thought her life was the best! If I sneak her candy she will say..hey my trick or treats! I can't get anything past this kid.
All ready!
Trick or treating with cousins at Papa Charley's Office
I think they were the only kids under 2 going strong all night trick or treating!
Showing us her candy!
If she was this fun this year I can't wait for next!

Fall Love 2011
I would just like to publically announce that I am in LOVE with fall in Utah. It is so beautiful!!! I am in awe as I drive up the hill to our house everyday. Red, yellow, orange trees sorrounding us everywhere, and it has been perfect weather. I wish it could stay like this forever.
I decided at the beginning of October that I was going to make a Fall Bucket List and I am doing really well at accomplishing my to-do's. In one day we hit the pumpkin patch and Cornbelly's for my neice Elle's first birthday. I honestly think that Blakely had more fun at Cornbelly's in 2 hours than she has in her whole life. She had pure joy on her face. She loved it so much we went back this past Friday night for more fun. Blakely is so much fun right now and Halloween has been a blast because she is really excited about it. Every Halloween decoration she has to yell (multiple times) "mommy look Halloween"! She has mastered saying "Trick or Treat" and knows that it means she gets candy (a girl after my own heart). I can't wait until actual Halloween comes I know she is going to love it, minus the scary masks!
Birthday Girl
I do have nephews, but they just think they are too cool to pose for our pictures!
Apparently we wore her out!
Gardner Village to see the Witches!
Thriller with the ladies, horrible picture, but wanted to remember the night!

PINK
So I ran a half marathon and surprise surprise it was aboslutely freezing. When I saw the forecast all I could do was laugh. I am completely jinxed. If you look at my history of half marathons there is a pattern that goes something like cold front, snow, and warm clothes!!! Good thing I have my go-to warm race outfit. Seriously the weather before race week, perfect sunny weather, the weather since the race, perfect sunny fall weather. What are the chances??
Ok moving on from my jinxed rant on to the race. I signed up for this race with two of my sisters and some of my running girlfriends. It was so much fun because it was an all women's race benefitting breast cancer. It was up in beautiful Park City so we headed up the night before for a little girls night and then slept in a hotel, woke up bright an early and ran our little hearts out.
I have never run a half with my sisters so it was so great that we ran together and crossed the finish line hand in hand. We were all different age groups which was fun. We took 26th, 27th, and 28th out of 800 runners and I took 7th in my age division so I was pretty excited about that. Here's to hoping that the next race I run will be filled with sunny skies and short sleeves!
Pre race waiting for the buses freezing our buns off and trying to stay dry in garbage bags!
At this point I was thinking if anyone bails I will gladly go back with them
Post race! Toes had unthawed and the sun was starting to come out!
Who get's number 1 assigned to them, we thought it was so cool we had to take a pic
My favorite running pals
