marathon bubbles

First things first. We hit a milestone at our house. It has been five months in the making. Drumroll please...Gracie graduated to size 1 diapers! Hip hip horray. The progression of diapers. Micropreemie Preemie Size 1

We went to the St. George marathon today. It is one of my favorite things to do in St. George. The weather is perfect and the air is filled with excitement, encouragement, and hope. For me it marks the beginning of fall. We like to stand at the finish line and cheer the runners on. It is amazing when a runner is coming that doesn't look like they are going to make it. The crowd goes wild cheering them on. I have seen people pass out, throw up, and legs buckle like jello, stand up and make it because of the support from the crowd. It is a truly amazing experience. Emily was getting restless today so I gave her my camera to take pictures. This is the marathon through a six year olds eyes.

Way awesome mid air stride

There were quite a few random pictures of feet, legs, and an especially great one of my behind!

picture of a girl in the readers digest that she brought to entertain herself. She also took a closeup picture of the bagel bites, very artistic!

Emily and grandpa

Huge popsicles, one of the reasons we go to the marathon.



I took this of gracie the other night and I thought it was priceless. Ben and I are still amazed every minute of the day that this little baby is ours. The red spot on her chest is a strawberry hemangioma. We like to think of it as her identification mark!
