The Law Day 5K Run

On Saturday, May 1st, Brian, Eva, and I ran in the Law Day Run. We ran the 5k (3.1 miles) and our time was just over 32 minutes. Brian could have definitely smoked us, but he was nice enough to stay with me and push Eva in the stroller on the hills. It was really fun and I thought we did pretty good. This is us after the race. If you look close, you can see my four month pregnant belly is poking out a bit now. It was kind of chilly that day, but luckily it didn't rain!

The Bengal Triathlon

I am so proud of Brian!! He completed his second triathlon today! He did great and improved his time from his first triathlon. He finished somewhere around 1 hour and 23 minutes (I don't know the exact time). This is Brian and Eva showing off their muscles after his 700 yard swim. They actually do the swim the night before the bike and run, and they swim in the pool at ISU.

Here is Brian this morning waiting for them to call his name so he can take off on his bike. He loves his road bike!

This is Brian at the end of the bike portion, which I think was 13 or 14 miles. And he's done!! The running portion is a 5k, so just over 3 miles.

Good job, Brian! You did awesome!!!

Easter Weekend

We had a fun Easter weekend. On Friday night our ward had an authentic Passover Seder. After that we went to visit our families in Hazelton and Rupert. Eva had lots of fun with her cousins and aunts and uncles. The Easter Bunny left Eva a basket of treats Sunday morning.

We decorated Easter eggs Saturday night. Eva had fun!

We went to an Easter Egg hunt Saturday in Twin Falls and on Sunday at Brian's Aunt and Uncle's house.

The weather was not even close to spring-like. But the girls still wanted to bundle up and go out with Grandpa to check the cows. That is Kierra driving (with Grandpa's help) and Abby in the back with Paisley (can't see her in the picture) and Eva.

It was a chilly weekend. We had tons of fun!! Thank you to everyone.

Locks of Love

Well, I finally got brave enough and let McKenzie chop my hair off!! I would only do this for a really good reason and that reason is to donate my hair to Locks of Love. McKenzie cut my hair off in two braids, both about 12 inches long! This is the 3rd time I have donated my hair and it always makes me so nervous!!

McKenzie did a great job on my haircut though. I think it turned out really cute. I just have to keep practicing to make it look as good as she does!

Brian always likes it when I try something different, and he really likes my new haircut. I will be growing my hair out again and will be ready to donate it in three or four years!
You can kind of see in this picture how long my hair was getting. This was in January.

Finishing the Basement

Last week was Brian's Spring Break and he spent most of his time in the basement. He is finishing our family room downstairs. Eventually we will finish the extra bedroom and bathroom. He worked very hard and got so much done. He got all the walls and ceiling textured and painted. We actually got carpet installed yesterday! I will post more pictures after it is all done.

By the way...we are expecting a baby around October 3rd!! This note is just to see if people actually read what we write or just look at the pictures!

I even helped a little bit. And Eva helped out, too.
Isn't she a good helper?

Thank you to my Dad for coming to help us get started on this project!

I am a good trainer

The other day Eva thought it would be fun to pretend to be a dog, so naturally dutchess had to show her the proper way to beg for a treat, and for Eva a Vitamin. What a pair of ladies.
