I finished a 4 mile run!

So I know I posted yesterday but I have to say how proud I am of myself! I started running a week and a half ago and yesterday I ran with my sister-in-law Sarah! We never know where we are going to go but she does this 4 mile run and I said no way, I just did 2 1/2 last Wednesday and that was hard enough and she said oh you can do it! So we did it! I couldn't believe it! I seriously have not worked out for a year and Reese is 5 weeks old tomorrow! On the run I pushed Cooper in the stroller so 32 pounds of resistance the whole time and when we turned around at the halfway point all of a sudden we were headed into the wind! But I finished without walking and I am surprisingly not sore today! Hopefully we can squeeze in a 5k before the snow starts to hit!

Reese's Blessing

Ryan blessed Reese Evelyn yesterday in our ward, which is nice because all of his family is here except Tyler, our brother-in-law. It was very spiritual and amazing which each blessing is for our children. We had her dress made by Lona's mom, Jenny, Ryan grew up with Lona. Jenny is extremely talented and found spare time to make Reese's dress. Thank You!

Even though Reese hated pictures before church, she was amazing during the blessing, she really doesn't cry that often... Maybe she is taking after Chloe who glares at my sister-in-law Val every time she pulls out her camera! Thanks Val for taking our pictures! Even though Reese is mad this is the best picture for our little family...I know I just had our family photo shot quickly one night before dinner (thanks Sarah) but this one is more foraml as we are dressed up for church! The kids were okay for the pictures as our church is at 12:30!

Our second family photo that was better of Reese but we couldn't decide between this one and the previous!

Cooper sick of taking pictures.

It was a good day even though Cooper and Chloe were getting over colds so I left second hour! I have to brag that Cooper bore his testimony for the FIRST time, we are very proud parents, he practiced all week! So after the blessing, my temple recommend interview, dinner, an hour long walk, I went to our youth fireside and home teachers at 8pm we finally made it to bed at 10pm! The next thing I knew it was 2:30 time for the paper route luckily Mondays are really easy!

Sorry for the long post!!!!

Poor baby!

So we have never had a baby have acne...I hate it! I feel so bad for Reese and I know it doesn't bother her but it does me! I am such a picker! It is so hard not to pick at her face! I have been reading about what to do and that is nothing! So I have been washing her face with some Johnson's baby wash that is "milder than soap" and I do that every night and twice today since she vomited everywhere! I am just worried she will have it when we bless her at church on the 28th...So we will just pray for her face! The brighter side is that she has almost stopped peeling, I also have never had a baby have flakey skin...
So on a bright side everyone is doing well! No one is sick and other than Chloe drinking a little bit of the Mylicon gas drops and having diarrhea we are doing great! Enjoying the last few days of sunshine and 80's until the cool air comes in! That means nights are getting colder and I am going to have to wear shoes and not flip flops on the paper route!

Kids are doing great!

Reese is 10 days old now! Where does time go! She is doing great and gets lots of love in this family from her siblings and parents after the siblings of course! I had to post this picture of all the kids sleeping at the same time, it really happened, twice this last week! Everyone has adjusted and loves "baby Reese" as Cooper calls her! We also learned that there have been a ton of girls born named Reese during the past month at our hospital...We know this is true as we took her to her first doctor's appointment the day after she was born and there are two doors and a nurse from each side came out asking for Reese and we went first but we stopped as soon as the other nurse said Reese and sure enough we were going in the wrong direction, the other Reese was only 2 weeks old so we know it is a popular name around here right now!
