Runners High

Hello family and friends! As usual, it's been awhile - so here's some updates....

The post below includes several photos from between my last post and now. So scroll down and enjoy, then you can scroll back up and read this post. ;)


Now that you've enjoyed our most recent photos...

Arie will be 1 year old in just 2 short months! He is so incredibly sweet and happy and did I mention, ADORABLE?!

Kaydence will be 3 in December and is the most fun loving little spit fire ever. She has personality for days and lights up any room that she is in. She has been taking gymnastics classes and just loves it. Pretty soon she will get to start dance which means ridiculously cute costumes and dance recitals to attend. We are all looking forward to it!

Gunner is almost 3 1/2 now and starts preschool in just over 1 week! It is so unbelievable to me that my tiny little peanut is about to start school. He will be going 4 days a week for just 2.5 hours a day. He is going to absolutely LOVE it. He is Mr. Social Butterfly so I just know he will have a blast. We got him this super cute triceratops back pack and have been holding out on giving it to him until school actually starts. He also started taking gymnastics and enjoys the running around causing chaos part of it. ;) We are hoping to get him into soccer when he turns 4. He has loved playing soccer with his Uncle Jason so we know he will enjoy it.

Lexie, Kathy and myself have been racing in triathlons and 5Ks. So far together we have completed 4 5Ks and 1 triathlon. We have another 5K in just over a week and then our next triathlon in the beginning of September. It is AMAZING to me how much fun it is. I am not the super competitive type, not even the a little bit competitive type, so for me it's all about completing it and doing better than I did the time before. Personal goals. And I find it so enjoyable. I have to say my entire life I have hated running and now I actually enjoy it. Eli keeps saying to me "keep telling yourself that" but it's really true. Training together and racing together has been such a fun thing for us to all do together as well. We definitely keep each other motivated when we just barely have the will to keep going.

Hunting season is here, meaning all the grandparents (Kathy, Mary, Jimmy, and Cheryl) get some extra special Gunner time when I work. He loves the extra time with each of them and is such a lucky little boy to have every one of them. We are so blessed to have family that is always there no matter what.

Hoping that this post finds you well! XOXO
