Our Speed racer!

We had a great Saturday! It was Homecoming all week for BYU, and they have a Cougar Run on Saturday morning! So we signed JT up to run the 200m! He was so excited. We have been practicing all week. We would go to the indoor track and let him run with us. He does so good! And seems to enjoy it. So we asked him if he wanted to race other kids and he said Yes with a big smile! We got up early Saturday and went to the track to get ready. He got a t-shirt, and a #. He was so excited to have a number. He wore his super fast shoes, jogging pants, gloves, and cool headband! We warmed up with a little jog and he was set ready to go! He did so good! He ran the whole thing by himself with dad coaching him along the way! He took 6th place out of 17 boys! He was so proud, and even prouder of the ribbon he got!
Then we went and got blue pancakes, and watched the parade! Then we came home for a quick rest and then off to the the football game. Jac and her friend Nate came with us. JT and Lucy made it through he whole game. They were awesome! We had so much fun! And even funner because BYU won! It was a great day!

Birthdays!!!

JT is the big 3!!! His getting to big to fast! I love this kid. He is so funny and has the funnest personality. He is my best buddy! I love to spend time with him. We get to play all day. He had a great birthday. It all started on Saturday when we went to Build-A-Bear, with Grammie and Pa. They get all the grandkids a bear on their 3rd Birthday. We rode the Frontrunner train into the Gateway. JT loves to ride any train. He then picked out a camo bear in a Woody outfit! So awesome! Then On Sunday we had everyone for cake and icecream! JT wanted a train cake, and wanted it to be Thomas, so that is what I attempted to do. It turned out ok! He got lots of fun things! Thanks everyone. And then on Monday 20th, his real birthday, we went just as a family to Nickel City arcades. We had a great time and to top things off! JT hit the jackpot on one of the games and won 1,000 tickets! Awesome! He got to pick whatever he wanted at the prize station! Well, I think he had a great few days! Happy Birthday JT!

4th of July!!!

Celebrating the 4th of July! It feels a little weird blogging about the 4th of July when it is the 1st of September, but oh well, I guess better late than never! Right?!
We had a great time. We watched Centerville's Parade. The Cluff's, Max and Brit, and Grandma Diana watched it with us!

Us with Max and Brit!

Before the Move to Utah!

On our way to Utah from Texas!!! We stopped Moab and climbed to this arch. Lucy and I didn't go all the way, but Justin and JT did. We made the long trip from San Marcos, Texas to Kaysville, UT. It was a long one but we had a good time.
JT and Justin climbed to the top of this arch!!!

JT decided to pour himself some cereal!!!

Day Out With Thomas!!!

Our Day Out with Thomas! At the end of May we went and saw Thomas! Pa, Jac, and Jac's friend Caleb came with us! JT was so excited! He is in love with trains, and so this just made his day. We got to do all different kinds of activities, play with trains, color, watch movies, and then we got to go on a ride with Thomas!

There he is!

JT in front of Mavis! There was a bunch of these train posters, and JT insisted that he get a picture by all of them! :)

Me and JT in front of Thomas! He just wanted to look at Thomas, and not look to take the picture, so he wasn't happy when he had to turn around and look at the camera.

Me and JT again! Inside the train. He had an awesome shirt!

Caleb, Jac, Lucy and Pa! Waiting for the train ride.

So cool! As JT would say as Thomas rode by!

JT playing with all the different trains. There where so many that he didn't know where to start, or what to do!! So fun!

JT! He had a great day. And now he asks all the time "Can we ride Thomas today?"
