OGDEN MARATHON 26.2 MILES

I can't believe that I have completed a FULL Marathon. If you would have asked me a year ago if I would run a marathon I would have said NO WAY, ask my mom she would tell you. Marathons have never interested me because who is kidding who 26.2 is a long way to go on foot. My mom, dad and a lot of my family run so they were always pushing me to do one.  I wanted to make the decision on my own and WANT to do one. At the end of last summer I started thinking well maybe I can do it and then my good friend Brittany asked me if  we could do one together and at that moment I just blurted out YES. We signed up in November and started training in January a 18 week program that we stuck to pretty closley. It was fun to run our long distance on the weekend together and text each other our accomplish of miles during the week. She definitely kept me motivate. It was such a good experience to share with Brittany and both accomplish such an emotional goal. We both decided to dedicate our marathon to our cute kids Lucas and Ella because we both wanted a goal after we had a baby and get back into shape. Truly it was an amazing experience!

DisneyWorld 2012

On May 10th I took this little 20 month old to Florida to see his Auntie Leish be a skipper on the Jungle Cruise ride at Walt Disneyworld. Aleisha has been there since January doing an internship and has loved being apart of Disney! We decided to take advantage of her living down there and went to visit her.

May 10th  

Lucas and I all aboard the plane and ready to fly. I was so lucky to have my parents come with me so that Lucas could crawl over all 3 of us.

Lucas got his first wings from the captain of the plane after a 4 1/2 hour flight. He was very happy to be on a escalator! Lucas loves both elevator and escalators or things that move!

Aleisha surprised Lucas with a Mickey outfit and he looked so cute running around in it!

When we first entered the park the balloon man had lucas in awe and Grandma Kim could not help but spoil him and buy him a ballon!
