Half Marathons!

So after I had the boys I decided to make a goal for myself and that was to run the SLC half marathon so I trained hard to be ready for it but then I heard about the riverton half and I decided to run that one 3 wks before the SL half for a practice run to be ready for the SL one anyways it was alot of fun okay fun for those who like to run crazy for those who don't hehehe.
So I ran the riverton half in 2hrs 5 minutes and 24 seconds and I ran the SL one in 2 hrs 14seconds so I beat my time by 5 minutes so I was so happy about that so hopefully for the one I am running in July I will beat my time again.
I love running I am not sure why but I do and it is so addicting that I have already signed up for another half in July crazy I know. Anyways I know this is a boring post for most of you so I don't blame you if you don't read it but really this is just for my personal journal and to make sure I always have my times on record so don't mind this post of my times of each mile:SL Half1st mile-8:42

Game Night!

So we really haven't been up to much the boys are doing great they love to play together in the pic above they are reading a book together so cute! I have just been running alot and getting ready for my half marathon this saturday. Pat is traveling alot for work right now and we are getting ready to go to Hawaii next sunday for 9 days and we can't wait.
We did have a nice weekend grandma and grandpa watched the boys for us so we could have a night out with some friends so we went to cheryl and taylor's for a BBQ and played some really fun games, mindy and cheryl watch that show minute to win it so they got a few ideas off of that and that is what we played their was this one called on the nose and it was with vaseline and cotton balls so here are a few pics of the night: anyways those are just a few of the games we played we had a great time.
Thanks Cheryl & Taylor for the great food and good fun with friends:

A year old Already! :(

Okay so I know I am a week late on blogging about the boys turning a year old but I have been a little busy with birthday parties after birthday parties.
Well we celebrated the boys 1st birthday on monday the 15th they turned a year old and I was so sad because they are growing up way too fast. We had a little birthday party at Grandma's house for them and for their dad yep Pat turned 50 on the 15th along with the boys turning 1 man he is old hehehe.
We did a cow theme because the boys love cows and everything is moo every book they see every toy everything says moo so we went with cows it turned out really cute, aprils mom made their little cakes and they turned out so cute thanks again Karla.


We had lots of friends and family show up and the boys got a ton of stuff I am not even sure where I am going to put everything its still piled up in the play room in boxes and I just keep looking at it all and saying wow they are spoiled. Here are a few pics of them opening up a few gifts well more like dad and mom opening up the gifts:



The boys loved eating their cake here are a few pics:


Caleb just dove right in


Ayden was alittle hesitant at first and then he got into it



Anyways the boys are doing great they had their 1 year check up and they are progressing as they should:
Caleb weighs: 19lbs 5 oz and is 29 inches long, he is in the 10th percentile for weight and alittle under average for heigth. He has 4 teeth and still will not crawl unless its on his terms he actually is doing alittle bit of crawling but mostly he gets around by scooting everywhere still not walking and is not even close to it but trust me I am so okay with that. Ayden Weighs: 18lbs 1oz and is 30 inches long, he is in the 3rd percentile for weight he is my skinny minny and right where he needs to be for heigth. He has 2 teeth and still trying to get those top ones to come through they finally cut throught the skin but they just wont come down. He is crawling all over the place and before we know it he is up 6 or 7 stairs and he walks if he has something to push but will not walk by himself he is so scared its cute. Anyways that is how the boys are doing and mom is so sad that they are a year old but so happy at the same time cuz they are so cute at this age and they just love playing together and just being together
and yep they are still sleeping in the same crib but would you move them after how cute they are together when they sleep:

Well sorry for such the long post but thats what happens when you blog every 6 months.

Finally all Better!

So finally we are no longer sick, pat finally came down with it last week and he got over it pretty quick unlike the rest of us but finally we are all over our sickness and things are much better at the Mills home. The boys are finally back to sleeping at night and I am getting sleep again and I have finally got back to were I can start running again and start training for this half marathon that I am doing in April so life is good.Anyways the boys just turned 11 months old a week ago and it makes me so sad cuz that means only one more month and they will be 1 years old oh how time flies.
Well the boys are doing good now that they are all better.
Ayden finally started crawling over the weekend and now he is all over the place its so cute but he only does it when he wants to not when we want him too if we put him on his belly he just lays there and cries but if we sit him up and he gets on his belly on his own then he is okay with crawling he is so funny, he also has 2 teeth finally on the bottom and he loves to say dada and mama and he loves to tell us that the cow says amooo its so cute.
Caleb has been scooting all over the place for about a month or so now but he still will not crawl its so funny to watch him cuz if any of you have seen Forrest Gump he reminds us of Lieutenant Dan it is hilarious and so cute but my mom just told me that I actually never crawled I just scooted everywhere and then I finally just walked so thats probably what he is going to end up doing. He now has 4 teeth its funny cuz him and Ayden both got there 2 bottom teeth at the same time right at 10 months so I figured they would get there 2 top teeth at the same time but no such luck only caleb has 1 top tooth fully and the other one is working its way through.
Caleb also loves to say mama and dada and tell us that the cow says moooo not amoo like ayden just moo and he loves the cats he says kitty not real clear but its definitley kitty that he is trying to say anyways there is alittle bit about what they have been up too and how big and fast they are growing up soo sad.
So we finally put them in the big tub together and they loved it we didn't dare put them in the big tub because caleb would not stay sitting up he kept flinging himself backward but he now stays sitting up so here are a few pics of bath time so fun:
