Mother's Day & Ogden Marathon

I know, I know, I'm way behind!  Life is just so stinkin' busy, and it's about to get A LOT busier in about 2 weeks!  YIKES! 

Anyway, we're playing catch up today.  We'll go back to Mother's Day.  When we went to Disneyland I wanted to get a Precious Moment's Figurine as my souvenir that would remind me of Ellie's first trip to Disneyland. I collect Precious Moments, so I thought it would be fun to add to my collection.  But they were pretty pricy and we wanted to use our souvenir money for Ellie, so I held off.  So that's what Clint got me for Mother's Day.  He got me a Rapunzel one because Ellie LOVES Rapunzel sooo much.  I was so ecstatic when I opened the gift.  It was the most thoughtful gift and I LOVED it.  So did Ellie!  She just wanted to play and play with it.  Unfortunately, those things do break, so I wouldn't let her play with it for very long.  And Ellie got me Charlotte's Web so that she could watch "the pig."  What a funny girl!

 

Anyway, we wanted to tell our mom's thanks for everything!  You never know how hard it is and how much work it takes to be a mom until you are one yourself, and we are so grateful for the moms and grandma's in our lives.  We love you guys so much!

That night we went to Grandma Child's house for dinner and our little cousin had some funny hair pieces in her hair.  Ellie thought it would be fun to play with them, so we stuck them in her hair and she loved them!

Then for the Marathon!  Clint's youngest sister Carly and her best friend Becca ran the Ogden Marathon this year.  We were going to volunteer like last year, but decided it would be best to not since we had Ellie and I'm pregnant.  Plus, you have to be up Ogden Canyon by 5 am!  Not this year!  So we went to cheer Carly and Becca on.  I got passes to the VIP tent from work, which was right at the finish line, so luckily we were able to sit in there and wait since it was pouring rain the whole time.

Carly and Becca finished in like 6 hours, but hey, they finished!  It was their first marathon too, so I think that's pretty dang good!  Especially since about 1500 people didn't finish!  So good job 'Car Car' and 'Bucca!'

 We liked this sign!  YAY for ALL of the runners!  What a feat!

 And of course Ellie had to go give them a hug when they were done, even though they were EXHAUSTED!

Good job girls!

 

 

So that's one catch up.  Clint had a Birthday in May too, but we don't have those pictures on the computer. so I'll have to do another post later!
