A Weekend of Party Fun, 5K Run, & Getting Pictures Hung

All dressed up and no where to go? That wasn’t our problem on Friday night. We were dressed up and ready to P-A-R-T-Y! The farewell party was on Friday night and so much fun! Below are photos from the event:

Saturday my mom, Natalie and I traveled to Kaysville for the Best Buddies 5K run. We met Laura and Angelina there. It was a little cold outside, but very pretty, so we bundled up and went on the walk. There was a quick egg hunt after the race, followed by some prize drawings Laura helped with.

Natalie relaxed after running a 5K

(This is how she woke up from her nap)

Sunday, after a trip to Costco for more frames, I started a picture hanging project. I started by cutting out frame templates and hanging them on the wall to get an idea of where I wanted the photos hung.

Once we had the layout down, I found the photos I wanted in the frames. It was so fun to look through the photo albums and find photos to hang on the wall. Then the fun part, banging nails into the wall and hanging the frames. The wall looks great and I’m already excited about buying more frames and hanging more photos.

Water with hops is always better

While I’m trying to drink and ocean of water a day so I don’t feel dehydrated, Phil often says, “I like my water with hops”. Truly, who needs water when you have beer? When I ask if he wants salad with dinner, he promptly answers “NO”. As I’m sweating away on the treadmill Phil is happy to play his X-Box and drink a beer. And who can fault him, he doesn’t gain any weight and really, the only reason I drink water and get on the treadmill is to prevent weight gain!

Well, things they are a changin’.

About a year before I got pregnant I started taking a folic acid & DHA vitamin so that I would be “extra” healthy when we decided to get pregnant. When I actually got pregnant, that one vitamin changed into many – a prenatal, a folic acid, a separate DHA, a vitamin D, an iron supplement and a calcium pill. Phil took notice and eventually decided to start taking a multi-vitamin. He said “if you can take all those pills, I guess I can take one”. Well it has now spilled over into other areas. For the past two nights Phil has come home and jumped on the treadmill. He even set it up so it records how many miles he accrues (I haven’t even done that). Well, being that I am one competitive person, I’ve decided to turn this change of events into a challenge. Last night after Phil got off the treadmill I decided to jump on (Yep, I broke away from Natalie long enough to exercise). I made sure to go just a little farter than Phil – he isn’t beating me!

Oh, and one more surprising thing…Phil actually drank water after he got off the treadmill – water without hops!

Wish me luck in this competition
