All that's Jazz!!:)))

I'm SOOOO late doing a birthday post for Trav!  It was his 34th and luckily the Jazz made it to the playoffs!! We decided to take the twinners to their first Utah Jazz game w us and stay the weekend in SLC. The twins LOVE to take trips and stay in hotels and they love the Jazz so they were SO excited! Even though the Jazz lost to the Spurs,theres nothing like a playoff game at Energy Solutions,the loudest arena in the NBA! Their was a million things going on  and tons of fabulous food and they gave out playoff towels to everybody. I of course was worried cause the game was a late game at 8:30,but the twins loved it!!!....until about halftime then they were bored and over it!ha! I took them out to the indoor playground and tried to let Trav watch some more of the game,but we all ended up walking back to the hotel and catching the rest on tv:)) It was a fabulous weekend and I think Trav had a pretty great 34th!! We had some yummy food and I even managed to sneak some shopping in;))) (we all know Trav HATES to shop!;))) We did the Discovery Center the next day for the twins which they always love to do when we're in Salt Lake to!:))) Here's to hoping the Jazz make the playoffs again next year for Trav's bday!!! He's SOOO hard to buy for,so Jazz tickets are always perfect!!!!;)))) Happy 34th babe,we LOVE you!!:)))

The SLC marathon!!!

I'm getting behind on blogging and checking blogs lately!!! So I'm trying to catch up! I haven't posted since March!! So I'm sure I'll miss some things we did over the past few weeks;( April was busy w Trav's Bday(which we just celebrated late,I'll post seperate:)) And my parents FINALLY came back from Arizona just in time for my mom's bday! We were SO excited to have her back close to us!! Especially the twinners! We spent the day w her on her bday and took her shopping and to lunch!:) And then we went to Salt Lake for the weekend,for me to run in the SLC half marathon. It was going to be a weekend away for me and Trav,but he wasn't feeling well,so I packed up my mom and the kids and we made a weekend out of it! Saturday was the race bright and early! I'll have to admit,I had a bad week up to the race, I managed to make it to Crossfit once and the rest of the week I was pretty sick,so I didn't get any runs in and was on antibiotics, (guess Trav caught it from me) So my attitude wasn't the best!Anyone that knows me knows when it comes to races I can get pretty competitive so I was just hoping for a good 13.1 miles!:) It was bright and early Sat, morning and I ran w one of my really good friends Cami Elmore,her amazing sisters who I've kind of adopted as my own sisters,drove us up to the starting point super early and waited to cheer us on at different points along the race!! So awesome of them and I can't thank them enough!:))) The course was so pretty and the weather was HOT! Which was great till the uphill at about mile 11,then it was TO HOT!ha! Definitely thankful for the water stations!:) About mile 7 I got that runners high,that makes it seem like you could run forever! And that race mind set kicked it and I remembered why I love running so much!:) I had a pretty bad cramp in my right leg the last mile or so that I couldn't get rid of,which slowed me down just a tad! I finished in 2:06,but was really wanting to finish at 2! I did slow down for some water a few times,but again the competitive side of me wanted to run it again and beat that time!;)The crowds in SLC were amazing and SO many people were running,I've never really had that urge to want to run a FULL marathon but I must say after that race it does cross my mind! Guess we'll see:))) Can't wait to run it again next year! The twins LOVED wearing my medal around and running around like me to say they won the race and got the medal! ha! After I went to the hotel and got ready, me and my mom and the kids had to check out City Creek of course....I realized that after running 13 miles I then probably walked 5 pushing a double stroller AND wearing 6in. wedges of course!!;) ( I only wear flats if its tennis shoes when I'm working out or flip flops on the beach!;))Needless to say Sunday was more shopping but my poor legs were REALLY feeling it by Sunday night! I think I'm still recovering!!;) It was a great weekend! Thanks so much for the people that cheered us on and for the love I got before the race from friends and family!:))) Mostly to Trav who makes it home on time to watch the kiddos so I can Crossfit and squeeze in some runs! I know it cuts into his gym time some days:))))p.s. I'm missing several pics from this weekend,but oh well you get the point:))and I have no idea what the little blank pic on the bottom was,wish I was better w blogger!!!;)And like always their in no special order!!ha! Enjoy!:)))
