Sewing Projects
I made these a little while ago. I am getting a little better at sewing, which means, I can sew in a straight line...sometimes.
I love the toy box/bag. Its big, can be shoved on the side of the couch. I think I do best with no patterns to follow. Everything I've made, I've just made up. But last fall I tried making a skirt to a pattern, no good. Its still sitting in my closet, unfinished.

SLC Marathon 2009
So we did it! I ran a 5k and Thurm ran a half marathon. However, not without some blood and tears. The blood was from Thurm's nipples. You can see he's trying to cover it with a creamcicle. Tears on behalf of sweet baby Quinn. Poor little guy got woken up at 5am and didn't go back to sleep till a mile left in the race around 8 am for about 30 minutes. He was screaming to the top of his lungs for 2 hours straight. The other racers looked on with pity and judgement. I just thought he was so tired he was beyond the point. However, when we got home at 2pm after hours of crying and whining, I took off his shoe to find his big toe was folded over and totally flat. It then swelled up, turned red, and blistered. No wonder he cried all day! I would too. I felt so bad. My poor baby : (

Standing!
Quinn thinks standing on his own is the most fun thing ever. He tried it for the first time a couple days ago and now standing is his favorite thing to do.
And of course falling is the best part!

The scrunchy nose
I'm not sure who started the scrunchy nose, if Quinn was imitating Thurm or if Thurm was imitating Quinn. But they both look so cute when they scrunch their noses.

This is Grandma, Aunt Roberta, and my mom taken at grandma's house on her great couch and with the coolest wallpaper ever. I love this wallpaper. I found some similar at Home Depot. I just have to decide if I want the gold or a more modern black & white version. I'm leaning toward B&W. I'll have to see what our house looks like before I buy it.
Quinn got puked on. Really, really gross, I know. His little friend Ginny, that I babysit just finished eating and was crying so I picked her up and she puked right on top of Quinn's head. Quinn looked at me and felt his puke covered head and gave a little whine. It was pretty funny, but too gross for me to laugh at in the moment.
We have 2 weeks till we run our respective races in SLC. Thurm has to run 13 miles and the most he has run so far is four. I have to run 3 and have run 1.5. So I think I'm in the better situation here. However, we discovered a Mexican bakery just a block from our apartment two weeks ago and all training has been put on hold. Ruben's Bakery has the BEST baked goods I've ever had. Not just in Wendover, EVER ANYWHERE! Chocolate chip cookies, coconut cookies, sweet bread, cake, tres leches, sugar cookies. Oh we've tried it all. The problem in this senario is that my husband who normally runs and doesn't eat alot of sweets has been very UNmotivated to run and has decided a daily trip to the bakery is a great idea. The other problem is he eats a bit of what he buys and then I eat the rest of it. Thurm's Runner's World magazine just showed up today and I'm hoping it will inspire me.
I don't know that I've written about this on my blog, but we are moving to Tooele this summer! YAY! Thurm put in for a transfer to the high school in Stansbury. We are very excited. Tooele was a dumpy, dinky, far away town when we lived in SLC. But since living here, our perspective has changed and we can't wait to move to our new paradise that grows green things, just 30 minutes away from the big city with a Walmart and Home Depot! We are looking for homes and that has been pretty fun. Quinn is excited to have a yard and carpet that doesn't have pet urine on it! Thurm is excited to have students who bring pencils and paper to class. And I am excited to have more than one option for grocery stores.
