October 27th I ran my very first race ever in my life! It is obvious that I am not built to be a runner, nor do I enjoy running one bit, but this year I was trying and struggling really bad with my weight and with the help and motivation of my best friend Brittany, my ward friends, and my mother in law, I decided to start running and train for a 1/2 of a half marathon. I had only started just a little over a month before this race, so I didn't think that I could get myself prepared to do the whole thing, so I asked my best friend in the world to relay it with me. Since she is awesome, she agreed to and we started getting together Saturday mornings to run. By the time the race came around I was ready to run 6 1/2 miles. The most I have ever ran in my lifetime. I actually had a blast even though by my last mile I could barely move my legs anymore. I was proud of myself for doing it and I am excited to keep on with my training and looking for a full half marathon to run in 2013.

My hottie mother in law. She is amazing!
For Halloween this year my Toy Story obsessed children wanted to be Buzz & Jessie. We went to our wards trunk or treat the night after my race, and then on Halloween we started our trick or treating adventures at robert's parents house with Travis (Swat man) and Austin (pumpkin). From there we stopped by Roberts Grandma Kathy's house, My grandma and Grandpas, Shirleys, then over to our neighborhood. Needless to say, they got a butt load of candy!
After Halloween we had a dinner at my Grandparents house and the kids wanted to wear their costumes again to show them off. (I didn't mind getting my monies worth out of them) :)
Here they are with Grandpa Greg and their cousin Hailey and Sophia.
