UTAH

Welp! We are in Utah. Me and the boys that is, we miss Landon lots and lots! 

Landon: 
He is on ICU right now. He works 6 long days a week. He likes the ICU, but says it is really sad. He has had a few "movie like" moments where he is straddling a patient on the stretcher, trying to revive them, blood all over. A few have made it and a few haven't. Sad. Life can change so quickly, and I think Landon is seeing that more and more. He is working on all of the books that he has only finished half of. He is making good progress. I love that I married a reader. I love him. He's the best. Plus I miss him so I only want to say really gushy things right now... I'll move on! 

Becca: 
I'm listening to a podcast called Serial. I'm four weeks away from my marathon. I ran 18 miles yesterday here in Utah and it was amazing. Utah valley is BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm feeling really complacent lately(in a spiritual sense). I know I can and should be doing more. Not in a woe is me way, and I'm not being hard on myself. I just should be doing more. I just want to be better and have more oil in my lamp. I just, all I know is Christ has done everything for me, and I should be doing more for Him. Thats all. :) 

Jaxson: 
Has been loving all his birthday gifts. His Uncle Nate & Aunt Sarah gave him the coolest coloring book ever and he has probably spent over 10 hours in that book. He LOVED going golfing and to chick fil a with his uncle Scotty. He loves being here at Nana & Popsies. He loves life. I love him. He played with Cousin Josh for 2 hours straight and that makes me happy. I want him to love his cousins. He also got to ride with Uncle Logan & Aunt Erika to Aunt Lacey's primary program. Lets just say, Jaxy has the best Aunts & Uncles around. Be jealous :)

Tyler: 
Oh how I just want to eat this boy up every day. He is just so so good and is so patient and so independent and wonderful. He is soooo good to come on my runs with me. One of them it was pouring ran and we ran for 5 miles. Oh man, he didn't make a peep. He fell asleep on the easiest plane ride of our life. 1 hour and 15 minutes?? WHHAAT??? He has been picking up a few more words. Bu bye. Thank you. Please. Mom. Dada. Hello. Although it doesn't sound right at all, but he is saying them at the right time so you get it:). Oh hes the bestest. 

We are in Utah for my families reunion. It should be a fun, relaxing week. Thanks baby for working so hard for us. You. are. the. best!!!
