TO THE ZOO

I know I have been MIA on my blog lately...I feel like I cant get caught up with all I have to do. Anyways, a couple weeks ago our friends from the neighborhood invited us to the zoo. It was such a fun day.

This is Ellie. She started a game of hide and go seek. Bella and Brooklyn are "hiding" below.

15 Months and counting

Since this is only my second post on what is the johnandcourtney blog (should be Courtney and her kids blog, which I don't mind, really), I feel like I have to explain myself a little. I'm going to try my best not to make this anything more than what I'm trying to make it, a point of no return, commitment, a letter to myself laying out my plan. I figure if I tell enough people then I have to do it, if I don't then everyone will know.

As I am just 15 months away from turning 30 and I have been kind of freaking out. I have some complex with being young. So I have been thinking a lot about what I can do to keep myself as young as possible. Since I'm not going to doing anything irresponsible like quite my job and go travel Europe with my family for a year I have another plan: To be the fittest I have ever been in my life by the age of 30.

So I have set some goals that I think will help me get to that goal. In 2 months I am having my 29th birthday so I am going to ride a 29 mile mountain bike trail called Wasatch Crest. Before my 30th Birthday I am going to run a marathon, and in addition to that I am going to run 30 miles (haven't decided if that's going to be part of my first marathon +4 miles or a separate run).

So I have a busy 15 months ahead of me but I am excited about it. If anyone wants to join in please let me know as I am game.

Today we went with our friends, The Duffins, to Gardner Village. The kids rode the ponies and then we watched the ducks and fish. It was a fun afternoon. Thank you for the invite Alicia!

My Bella


I took this picture today. I love this little girl. She is talking so much more these days. She asks me about 50 times a day if I am happy. "You happy mommy?" Yes, Bella. You make me happy.
