Go Katelyn, Go!
It's hard to believe but Katelyn is now just over 5 months old and on the move! She has her own style of getting from place to place with a lot of rolling and some lunges but it's very effective. Check out these movies we took last week. (She had pants on but they were slowing her down and she was crawling out of them.) I love how she pops up onto her knees and then crawls and lunges. She rolls around to get around and rolls around and gets stuck too. You should see her now that she has had a week to practice; she is speeding right along with a more regular crawling style. She's growing too fast!

...I have a secret...
It is no secret that I love to be outside, I love my family, yet I love my alone time, I love music, I love our ward (the sisters are awesome) and my favorite time of the day is before the sun rises when the first signs of light come to the sky.
So, for a year or so I have been listening to the ladies of the Sossaman Ward talk about their marathons, triathlons, bike races etc. (Yes, we do have an active ward!) Every time they would start to talk about it and ask others around me if they were interested in joining them for the next race I always thought, "Please don't ask me, running is not my thing!" Don't get me wrong, I run a lot after my kids but that's different than a marathon! So after about a year of all the ladies talking about running I wondered if I even could run, I mean, really run not just sprint after a two-year-old. So I decided to start, just to see if I could and you know what I can! So my secret is this--that I love to run now! I don't know why it took me 26 1/2 years and three kids to figure this out but I do love to run! I love spending the time outdoors in the early morning hours (I get up between 4 and 5 AM usually), before it gets hot, to run a few miles and listen to my music while I get some time away from the kids and the house. (It combines so many of my favorite things!)
Now to those ladies in my ward...you know who you are...I don't think I am ready or even considering a marathon or triathlon but perhaps I'll see you out in the neighborhood in the early morning hours too! Thank you so much for inspiring me to see that I too can run and love it! And to those of you who think, "Running is not my thing!" perhaps it is and you just don't know it-you should give it a try!

Zoo Fun!
Today Robert, Michael, James, Katelyn, Deanna, Emily, Phillip (Emily's friend) and I all piled into our Expedition along with food, a bike trailer, a stroller (just in case we needed one) and two bikes on back and we went to the Phoenix Zoo! We enjoyed seeing the animals, playing in the water, riding the bikes, and eating lunch all at the zoo. It was so much fun! We rented the coolest bike, if you could call it that, from the Zoo for Deanna, Emily and Phillip to ride. Check it out:
