Movies

I have been taking my girls to the summer movies on Thursdays at the harkins theaters and it has been going great. Kayda just sets on my lap and Payton just watches the movie and eats popcorn. My mom has been coming with us and it is really nice to have her there, but soon she will be going to Denver for three weeks so we will have to go without her. My friend Lindy also goes to the movies on that day with her girls, so Payton gets to set by her friends and I get to set and talk with Lindy it is a win win. I am just really surprised that it has been going so well, because usually Kayda cannot sit still for that long, but she likes the movies I guess. Today Reddin and I are going to take the girls to see Toy Story 3, and I cannot wait.

Saturdays!

I really love Saturdays. Saturdays start with a long run with friends in the morning for me, which is so fun. I love waking up and running for hours while talking with great friends, it just never gets old and is a perfect start to my day. Reddin also usually goes biking in the morning with his friends on Saturday, and then we spend the afternoon hanging out as a family, running errands, swimming with friends, or watching movies, I just love it, really what could be better?

This Saturday is a little different than usual, because right now Reddin is mountain biking in Sedona, and I am a little jealous of the cooler weather he is probably enjoying, but I am glad he got to go. The girls and I are still going to go swimming, and then meet the rest of Reddin's family this afternoon, it will still be a fun day, but we miss Reddin.

Summer is here

I feel like it is officially summer, because it is now really hot and we have several activities that we go to each week. We are having a blast, I have not picked up my camera since I got home from Colorado, but I probably should soon.

On Monday I try to run errands, and clean my house
On Tuesday Payton goes to her Broadway musical class and Kayda and I hang out
On Wednesday we head to Tempe for swimming lessons and Grandma Redger time my mom usually takes Payton to the library which she loves
On Thursday we go to the movies
On Fridays we go to the gym (I signed my kids up the the kids club at my gym), we then go swimming with our ward friends, and then we head to Grandma Evans and play for the rest of the day.

I feel like we are staying pretty busy which I love, I am running early and officially training for another marathon now, Reddin is biking whenever he gets the chance, and we are spending whatever free time we have swimming in our friends pools what could be better?

Kayda is a little fish she has no fear of the water and even likes to jump off the diving board with me, Payton could swim all day and loves it, in the summer I really wish we had a pool.

Colorado Pictures

Our trip to Colorado really was fun, Payton is already asking when she can go back and play with Morgan and when can we go back to the zoo. Here are some pictures I took.

This is the airplane ride there. Kayda sat on my lap and then Payton's when it was time to watch a movie. They were pretty good.

This was at the mall on Wednesday

Chuck E Cheese on Friday (the girls had a blast)

My cousins and I at my Aunts house.

Charon and Kayda and Dinner on Monday night

the Zoo on Tuesday

Just being honest

For some reason I have not really felt like blogging lately. I have been meaning to sit down and write about my Colorado trip and post pictures, but I just cannot get myself to do it. Maybe it is because it is harder for me to upload my pictures to the computer, I don't know. So quickly I will say we had a good trip, but I am glad to be home. We had a great time visiting all my family and I really enjoyed the Denver zoo, but it feels good to be home sleeping in my own bed. I think I will stay home for while I feel like I have been gone a lot lately. I do want to post picture of my Colorado trip and I will soon, but for now I wish everyone a happy Memorial day I hope you enjoy your weekend like we intend to do.

Denver Update

We have been in Denver the past few days enjoying the cooler weather and visiting with family. We have had a good time just relaxing and playing. It has been really windy the past few days, but the kids still have wanted to play outside, so we have gone to the park almost everyday and Payton has spent a lot of time playing with Morgan. I have been running in the mornings and I really like the cooler weather, but I don't like the altitude, it really is harder for me to run here. Payton for some reason is having a really hard time falling asleep at night, I don't know what it is, but it has been past ten when she falls asleep. We only have a few days left and tomorrow I think I will probably try to pack and clean up a little and then on Tuesday we are going to go to the Denver Zoo and then we fly home. I think I am ready to go home, we all miss Reddin and I miss sleeping in my bed, but it has been fun, I love Colorado.

Denver here we come

Tomorrow the girls and I get on a plane and head to Denver for the week. I am really excited that we get to go and enjoy the cool weather and I love seeing all my family, but I really really really don't like packing. I should be packing right now, but decided to take a quick break, because Kayda keeps coming in and trying to help and she really is not that helpful yet, but I love her. I am sad that Reddin does not get to join us for this trip, Payton is worried that he will be lonely, but I keep telling her he will be just fine. Wish me luck tomorrow, now that I think about it I don't think I have ever flown with the girls by myself before (oh well it will be fine).
