Newport Marathon 2010

Brady's mom got this pic of Brady heading to the finish line, and since our original plan had been that he would likely be half and hour or so ahead of me, she went looking for him to find out what I was wearing so she could watch for me. However, since he unfortunately tore his calf muscle again at about mile 22, she didn't realize I came in only about a minute and a half behind him, so there is no picture of me finishing, but I promise I did and I have witnesses. :)
At the finish line. Words can't even begin to describe all the feelings I felt through all of this and especially at the end. BY FAR harder than I EVER could have imagined it would be, but so worth it too. I needed this!

Hanging out at the end, basically it just hurt to much to move. :)

Camden obviously had fun playing at the beach after the marathon. :)

Four SORE girls, but happy to be there and be DONE!

Baylee turned 1 in May

Hard to believe but true, this angel turned one in May. Now at 14 1/2 months, she is still showing no signs of being interested in walking, though she did learn to stand alone while in Hawaii. She was pretty proud of herself. I think we've still got some time before she starts walking though. At her 12 month check up. She was 19.5 lbs (20%), can't remember her height, but it was 25th percentile and her head..........OFF the charts of course, (meaning about 3/4 of an inch ABOVE the top line). :) What can I say? She's related to her daddy and brothers!
When it came time to make her birthday cake, I thought it would be hard to come up with something because she is too young to know what she "Really" likes. Then it dawned on me that we know of one thing that this girl LOVES LOVES LOVES!! Can you guess?
STRAWBERRIES!!! So it only seemed fitting to make this cake. :)




She dug into it more than either of the boys EVER did at this age. Maybe because it was one big giant strawberry all to herself?! :)


She got two babies from Tayson and Camden. She loves them. Tayson gave her this little one, Camden gave her a bigger one.


I think Camden is more excited!

Look at that excitement. Thanks Grandma Suzie and Grandpa Judd!

Camping!

An afternoon by the river.


They do love each other.
Boys making silly faces for the camera, though Camden's is rather mean....


Now that Camden rides without Training wheels as of a couple months ago (way to go CAM!), Baylee has made claim on this bike. She LOVES IT!



Camden practicing at Tayson's practice. This kid LOVES soccer.

Pictures before the boys and Dad head out backpacking

Camden had a run-in with a mall kiosk. OUCH! First stitches.


Playing Peek-a-boo

A few days after the accident. Beginning to look better.
Camden wanted to take a pic of us.

She definitely LOVES her brothers. But is not afraid to let them know when she has had ENOUGH! :)

The boys new bunkbed (well, used but new to us), and Tayson finally got his desk that he has been hoping for, just so happened to be sold with the bunkbed. So much more space in their room now compared to their old bunk bed.



The boys decided to make Baylee.... SUPER BAYLEE!
