Memories and Milestones

A month and a half of milestones for our family:

A fifth anniversary for the Mr. and I--spent a week in Laughlin together (well, when he wasn't on the job, that is).

Reaching my pre-pregnancy weight--and still plenty more to lose, thank you very much, but for now I'm just celebrating the 38-40lbs lost!

A first haircut for our wee one by Great Grandpa Jim--he did great!


The End Result


Two bottom teeth--FUN! I don't know which I enjoyed more; the incessant diarrhea or the teething itself. Poor guy! (And who says you need a mouthful of teeth before you can start driving?)


A family trip to the Grand Canyon--Brian had never been!



And while we're talking about MILEstones, I'll just add that I'm planning on passing many more of those in the next few months as I train for the St. George Marathon coming up in October--26.2 milestones to be exact! AHHHHHHH! (excited scream with a teensy hint of panic)

That is so great you are going to run a marathon! I am impressed, even if it does sound like something you would do:) Congrats on the 5 year mark, and I cant believe how big your baby is getting! I havent seen him yet and in my mind I see that first baby picture of him you posted. Fun times:)

The grand canyon looks like fun. I've been there to see it, but that's about it. I'm so excited you are running a marathon....and jealous. I have that goal someday. Let me know how it goes. You look great by the way. Isn't it the best feeling when you finally lose the pregnancy weight!
