My Marathon Man

Kurt wants to post about his experience, so I will leave the details to him. I just want to say how proud I am of him and his dedication in running 26.2 miles. He ran all the way from Causey Reservoir (Monte Cristo area) to downtown Ogden. I have driven that course many times and it is unbelievable there are people out there that will run it! It was so neat for me to see him cross the finish line. Me, Sydney and his parents were there cheering him on (Bry had Scout camp and Bailey dance recital pictures). His parents were an actual surprise for him. I think he liked that surprise. He is now training for another one, I think he caught the marathon bug, one I hope I never catch! And a big thanks to his mentor, coach, and running partner. He has done 11 and his wife 19! CRAZY!!!!

Kids say the darnest, cutest things...

Syd and I were driving in the car and she stuck her bare foot in my face and said..."See I am ready for Kindergarten, my foot is big!"

We were at Temple Square, and Sydney was riding on her Dad's shoulders saying to everyone, "Hello, People!"

Sydney came downstairs the other day, all dressed backwards. I said, "Syd, don't grow up...she responded by saying..."I need too."

Bailey has been nervous to jump off the diving board. I told her to pray and Heavenly Father would help calm her. Her prayers have been so special to listen to. She told me that he has been helping her not be scared. She is so sweet.

Bryson was sneaking some cookie dough. I caught him and jokingly said, "Hey get your hands out of there, that is for the man "(meaning Kurt). He said, well I am a man and I am your son. He is clever.

Bailey has been anxiously waiting for the books Pinkalicious, Fancy Nancy, and Purplicious to come via mail. She has been looking at the door step everyday since I ordered them. She's a QT! Sydney has no idea what pinkalicious is. Anytime she finds something pink, she says "I'm Pinkalicious."

Sydney has been Picasso in our house. She loves to draw on my walls. One day she drew on every wall. She started singing Happy Birthday to me. Now how could I get mad at that. She makes me laugh.

The other day I was on the phone and making dinner for a family at the same time (trying to multi task). I noticed Sydney was on the counter, snacking from the cheese. I lightly patted her knee to motion her to get down. She looked at me and said, "Ow, you hurt me. Why would you hurt me? You hurt my knee." I started laughing! Later that night I came home and she had a band aid on her knee. She told her Dad that I hit her. She cracks me up!

Sydney's favorite Knock Knock joke: Knock, Knock, Who's there? Interrupting Cow...Interrupting then she blurts in MOO! Bailey and Bryson's: Knock, Knock, Who's there? Can't, Can't Who? Can't this be the last knock knock joke.

Tonight, I was talking with my sister on the phone, while I was taking the dog outside and walking around. Little did I know, Syd was in tow behind me, with her toy cell phone and mimicking everything I said and did.

Bryson said today, "Um, Mom when am I going to get a haircut? My hair is too long, see my hair moves when I shake my head. "

Sydney fell on the cement yesterday, scraping both knees. She was crying saying she needed a band-aid. So Kurt got one for her and she said that she could do it all by herserlf. She put the band-aid 2" above the sore and smiled and said, "There all better!"

We were giving Bry some feedback, Kurt said, "Bryson, feed back is part of life. I always get it from work, mom etc." Bryson replies, "But I am not use to getting feedback from Mom." Our Bailey, pipes in..."I Am!"

If you ask Syd, "How are you?" she always replies, "Two!"

Kurt is trying to get Syd to look at him for a picture, he says, "Sydney, what is on my nose?" Sydney says, "Uh,....Boogers!"

I was having a YW pres. meeting at my house and Sydney sat next to me in her own chair, with paper and pencil in hand, pretending to take notes. Bryson came walking in from scouts and Syd said, "Hi Bry!" And then she looked at all the ladies and said, "He's my brutter."

Syd came out tonight with something in her hand. I said, "What are you doing?", she said, "I am playing lips." She had my B&BW lip gloss in her hand, she then went and got another one and gave it to me and said, "Here you play lips too, OK?"

Sydney selling me on the idea of sleeping in our bed...Momma, I sleep with you tonight? You can sleep with my blankie and me?!
