Turkey Trot 2010

On Thanksgiving morning Jared and I ran the Turkey Trot in Mesa by Red Mountain High.  It was freezing when we got there!  The wind was so chilly but we were excited to run anyways.  After the first mile I shed both jackets and was warmed up.  What a super fun event!  It was so fun to run with my cute hubby and be able to push Parker and Carson along with us in the stroller.  They both like the stroller so they did great the whole time!  We ran the 10k which is 6.2 miles.  Our goal was to finish in under an hour and we did!  Our chip time was 57:02.  We had a great time together and loved running together.  We took turns every mile pushing the stroller.  Luckily we have an awesome super light jogging stroller that makes it easier.  The last mile we both pushed though.  The inclines with the stroller are hard!


Jared left with his Dad and brothers that afternoon to go elk hunting.  So I was glad we got to have some fun before he left.  It was a great Thanksgiving.  Jared and I took the boys to a feast with his moms HUGE family, and I took the boys over to spend the afternoon and evening relaxing and eating tons of  food with my awesome family!  It was a long day but such fun also.  I feel so blessed to be part of Jared's family and that we can spend time with both of our families so often.  


My little baby Carson is getting so big!  He is almost 8 months old, I can't believe it.  He is a wiggle worm and loves to play.  He crawls everywhere and climbs over anything on the floor in his way.  His older brothers make him laugh and smile all day long and he makes them smile as well.  He is so content all of the time.  He is good in the car, he lets most anyone hold him, he like to eat, he is super ticklish, he loves these blocks in the pic,  and he loves his binky.  He is so good for the girls at the gym too.  Parker and him both are so happy when I walk in to get them.  I love it.  The girls in there just love Carson.  Very rarely will he be playing on the floor.  They usually are holding him and walking around.  When we are at home he follows me around the house. Carson loves to be held....  Until he sees something he wants, then the wiggling starts. He is just starting to pull himself up on stuff and stand and attempt to walk along it.  Like the couch, the stool in the kitchen, and the bathtub.  Still wobbly but super cute!  I'm sure as soon as he figures out how to walk he will be running.  I just love my cutie boys!!!
