Moonlight Run

I went to Lethbridge and ran the Moonlight Run on Saturday! It was awesome! I'm not in any kind of shape, and that's why I was so stiff yesterday and today!! The above pic is everyone at the starting line. I was a few rows back with Wyatt's Aunt Marla. Yea, I was pretty intimidated!!
This is me when I ran across the finish line. The time was 1 hr. 5 min and 38 sec. I booked it the last leg of the race. I almost threw up at the end!!
This is me all crazy before, thinking whatever it was that I was thinking!
This is me after. Completely beat! I don't know how people can do that and enjoy it!! ;0) I beat Aunt Marla though!! Woo hoo!! Ha ha.
I have tons of pictures from Edmonton and Calgary, but don't have the time right now! I will let you all get excited to see those fun ones for a little bit at least!! Enjoy!

Bathroom

This is the before bathroom shot. The walls are not yellow. The flash just went weird. There are flowers up on the wall. It was a flowery bathroom!












This is a better shot of the wall colour before. Notice the flowery curtain?
Cant have that!










Another shot.










She was painting ponies. It looked a little abstract to me! She was an AWESOME helper! We did this when Cassidy took a nap. Could you imagine an 18 month little girl COVERED in red paint? Thats all I saw.....












Haha. I love this one! I just HAD to have Hailey do it!! She LOVED helping me!








This is the floor...This is what happens when a 3 year old helps you and you dont think about putting anything on the floor. A good hour scrub and it mostly came off! There is still a little bit of red splotches. Just little ones though!








Here is the final product. Ok that's a lie. We haven't put up the decor yet! On this wall here, we want to get in Japanese the word "bathroom" or something clever like that. My dad went to Japan on his mission and we were going to ask him to help us with that. For all we know it might say "I'm a dork!"







Im really diggin the white and the red. Its sharp! At least I think so! I dont have to live here and deal with a bright red bathroom! We, or rather, I want to get a white shower curtain, a fabric one, and either get my dad to write cool Japanese words on it, like shower or toilet or something neat like that. We went through his missionary trunk last night and found some cool post cards that we want to frame and put up on the walls. When the decor is done we will let you know!!

Wed. Happenings

Today my brother Max, sister Caitlin, and the girls went to the library. This is what happens when we get too excited about books!! Cassidy I guess was coming down the stairs and tripped and bonked her little head. Im sure its going to get pretty colourful in the next few days! Shes being a trooper about it and not even complaining!









This morning my dear friend Tiffani came over to help me mud and tape my parents hallway! I don't know if she really enjoyed it, but I sure did! It was fun! I showed Tiffani how to do it and then away we went! We started about 9:30 and went until 2. It was a long morning! We still have some more sanding and mudding to do but its getting there! After dinner when the girls are in the tub I'm going to finish sanding and put the second coat of mud on the taping so that tomorrow we can sand and prime! We are going to buy the paint tomorrow so that we can have it all here and not have to worry about stopping! Tiff, you're in for a long haul!! Haha!

Here's proof that we actually did something! Those ceiling ones are retardedly hard.

We are covered in sanding dust. We put sheets up to cover the rest of my moms house so that we wouldn't cover her house in dust. It helped a little. The electric sander is fast and fun too!!

Finished hallway pictures to come....as soon as we are done!

Obession...

I must confess, I also have an obsession with the twilight series. It has kept me pretty occupied these last 2 days! I have never had a book keep me up until 1 in morning before! Pretty much I love Edward. Haha. Reminds me of Wyatt...;0)

LOVE the first book! The second was a little harder for me to get into. I have to say I'm not so much a fan of Jacob, but that's OK! Haven't yet read the third or fourth, and my opinion of the books might change. For now I'm pretty content saying that I thoroughly enjoy them!

If you haven't read them, I would suggest that you do!
