Chase and Lynlee

For those of you who don't know Lynlee, she is my friend Sarah's daughter. Sarah and I do things together all the time including working out at the same gym. The gym we go to is huge and has a ton of children in the child care center. Lately when I have gone to pick up Chase I have seen him and Lynlee wrestling, dancing, chasing each other, and even just gazing into each others eyes. The childcare workers have said that they always find each other and play and follow eachother the entire time. I was kind of surprised that with all the babies there they know and always find each other.

The other day Lynlee was at our house when I took these pictures. It seems obvious now that they have feelings for each other.

Look at Chase in this picture. He is drooling over Lynlee....literally his shirt is wet from the drool.
And then there is this picture. Lynlee fake falling into chase. I mean come on, that is almost as obvious as when a guy fake yawns and stretches his arm out to put around a girl in a movie.
They are so super cute. We will miss Lynlee like crazy when us and the Nelson's move. And, I'm pretty sure we will miss Sarah and Jason a heck of a lot too. Ya'll are awesome and have been such great friends.

Capital City Half Marathon

This is me and my super-duper good friend Sarah just before running the Columbus half marathon.

I used to be a pretty good runner back in the highschool days. My junior year I did varsity track, cross country, and cheerleading. I went to regionals in track and state alternate on our state champ cross country team. I was also on a pretty competitive cheer squad, plus I had seminary every morning at 5:45am followed by cross country 1st hour, track and cheer practice after school, plus games and meets, and I worked at a restaurant when I wasn't doing those things. So I guess you could say I kinda got burned out after my junior year, so I quit running, and I think that bummed my parents. I think they, especially my dad are glad to see me running again.

I ran the Capital City Half Marathon today. Brody told me not to overdo it (he knows me too well). I took his advise at the beginning and started off at about 8:40 pace the first 6.5 miles, and I felt so great that I sped up the pace to about 8:00 for the 2nd half of the race. I finished with a time of 1:49:20 which is 8:21 overall mile pace. I was the 36th out of 841 female finisher in my age group. The race was awesome. There were almost 7,000 runners there. It was my first half marathon, and I think I'm crazy enough to want to do it again.

Blog Book

I recently make a blog book using Blurb. It was not very hard, time consuming or expensive. I love the way it turned out. Here are a few pictures I took of the book.

Spring Crafts

I love these festive spring blocks I made at craft group. My mother-in-law gave me a cute Easter egg garland that just happened to match perfectly.

We also recently made ties. They would be really great Father's Day gifts. I already gave mine to Brody though.
