Last week I took the kids to Utah so I could run in the Salt Lake Half Marathon.  I was a little worried about driving there all by myself and I guess my mom was too because she bought a plane ticket and flew to Nevada just so she could drive up with me.  And it ended up being so great having her there, she helped me get all packed up and then it was so nice to have someone help me with the kids on the drive so thank you mom!  We spent most of the time visiting with family.  We got there Tuesday night and stopped and picked up our new car in Orem from Paul's uncle (he found the car for us). 

We bought a Honda Pilot and I absolutley love it!

And then spent the evening hanging out with my parents and siblings. 

*On Wednesday I did my last run before the half marathon, took my accord into the car shop to get the door fixed, hung out with my sister and nephew, had dinner with my parents and the missionaries and then went to visit my mother-in-law where we set up her trampoline. 
*On Thursday we played in my parents backyard and then we went up to Midway to visit my parents new house, we had lunch there and played with toys.  When we got home we went to my mother-in-laws house and played on the tramp, when to the park, rode bikes and played with the jeeps.  We went to chick-fil-a for dinner with Connie, Heather, Tamari and Mylee and then played some more outside.

I love that it caught the drool dripping from his face.  Also if you look in the background you can see several of the hotwheel jeeps.  Paul's mom has two jeeps and a fourwheeler, the grandkids love driving around in them!

*On Friday we went to Discovery children's museum with my long time best friend Ashley, her boys, Connie, my mom, sister Erin and nephew Logan.  Leila loves the museum and could spend all day there, which we pretty much did. 

She lined up all of her food on the conveyer belt and then turned the belt until all the food had fallen into her cart, she did this over and over again

I had been carrying Greydon in the front pack but he is so heavy so my mom gave me a break

Ashley and I, it had been several months since I had seen her so it was so fun to get together and finally meet her little guy ( he was born several weeks after Greydon)

Greydon right after he woke up from his nap.  He looks like he is being tortured but he has to be swaddled

or else he won't sleep and then he was buckled into the stroller.  But he didn't seem to mind he took a two hour nap and then woke up smiling

That night I ate lots of pasta and picked Paul up from the airport, he flew up just to support me running my half marathon! On Saturday I ran my half marathon and then  we ran errands, visited Paul's mom and then hung out with my parents.  We got up early Sunday and headed home, we left early so we could make it home in time for our special stake meeting with Elder Perry.  It was a wonderful meeting and I am so glad we made it home for it the only hard part was dealing with cranky children who were tired and sick of traveling, Paul and I both spent a bunch of the meeting in the hall dealing with kids.

Just a cute picture of my favorite boy!
