1 week and counting

Today I am exactly 1 week away from the big day. If you don't know what that big day is it is the Provo Canyon 1/2 marathon. I am getting a little nervous, but can definitely say I am more excited to get it over with.  

With the big day a week away I decided today to go for a long run. The most I had ran up to yesterday was 10 miles. So, I knew I wanted to try and do 11 or 12. Last night I mapped my run out on the internet so I knew where I needed to go in order to run so long.

My morning began at 5:30 am. Josh had just came home from work and he said to me, "how far are you going today". I told him 11 or 12. He said "have fun with that". I left a little before 6 am and just went for it. I felt pretty good, and knew I would make it. I just ran and kept running. I ran 12 miles in 2 hours and 10 minutes. I do have to say though, that by the time I got to mile 10.5 I felt like my legs weighed so much. It seemed like a lot of work to keep lifting my legs up. But I made it, and didn't die. 

So, my feelings about saturday are, 13.1 miles no big deal!

Sunday Attire

As you can see Payton is just growing all the time. He is starting to stand a lot better and I caught him twice standing all on his own. These were a couple of pictures we took after church on Sunday. He just looks so cute.

Big stuff coming through

Now days Payton thinks he can do whatever he wants. Josh always says it's because I let him, and that's partly true. Anyways...Payton has decided he loves going up the stairs. Any chance he gets he goes right for them. The funny thing is he will not try to come down. He is too scared. He will just crawl around all upstairs and if we aren't with him he will just yell/cry for us to come and get him. We have some friends that live down the street from us and they have the same model home as ours. Payton has recently learned that if he crawls up their stairs he can find were they have all the good toys in Nicolas's room. He thinks it's so funny too if he find him crawling up and he try to get him. He just laughs and tries to move faster.

Josh thought it would be funny to put Payton in this box, at first Payton didn't mind, but when he couldn't get out he started getting mad.

Payton got another haircut. We buzzed the sides. He looks so cute now.

Of course...he stops and smiles for the camera

This is what he did this morning while I did some yard work in the front. For some reason he likes to be under the car
