Boise
Things are going great over here in Boise. We are getting a bit of a cold spell this week as we will not see temperatures above 50 for about the next week. I will say I am excited for the cold weather so I can wear long sleeve stuff without sweating like a dog but I am not excited in that it will be cold for a while.
The Half marathon went well. My joints hurt so bad afterwords though. I am healed up from it all though. I will say I have been a slacker since as I have not gone running once. The official time was 2:30:55 (I think that is how you write it). Not a super fast pace but I did run the entire thing. It was down by the prison so basically just desert and not much to look at but it was fun at the same time. There are 2 steeper hills at the very end that we had to climb and I am proud to say I ran the entire race even up those hills. That was my main goal other than just finishing. I will say I am all for doing it again. I can't believe I said that but it keeps me in shape and I will say it is fun. It would probably been that much better had I had someone else to do it with. Maybe next time. By the way, are we making up a team for Hood to Coast next year yet???
Halloween was fun. Andrew had a blast running door to door to trick or treat. He actually would say it to the people at the door. We had a late night playing games at a friend's house but the boys knocked out while we were there. So I didn't feel like a horrible parent after all.
Beck is getting closer and closer to walking. He stands by himself for a couple seconds before falling. He is getting bigger and I can't believe he is 9 months already. Time flies!
Beck has a habit of when he wakes up he starts pounding on the changing table/wall. I woke up the other day to this and then heard Andrew yelling at Beck "Night Night Beck! You are Killing me!!!" over and over. All I could do was laugh because I say that to Beck sometimes when he won't go down for naps.
I have tried on and off to get Andrew to potty train and it works for a day or 2 and then Andrew refuses to go at all. I am trying not to force it but it would be nice to have it done by Christmas. Any tips???
We are doing well and Club volleyball starts up this week. Peter is not to excited because I will be so busy but it comes with the job. Anyways, Beck is pounding on the wall from his crib which basically means get me outta here...I AM AWAKE!

2.5 weeks to go...Boise
Well the title refers to the half marathon I am running in on October 25th. Hopefully it will go well. I will admit my training hasn't been the best these past 2 weeks but I still feel good when I do run so we'll see how the race turns out. I have been having some knee pain but I talked to the sports trainer at the high school I coach at and he says it is just from the constant pounding. But it isn't bad at all really, I can still run comfortably, it just hurts after.
Volleyball has been a little stressful and drama-filled but things have improved greatly. Our last home game is tonight and we only have one more match after today before the District Tournament. From then on we will see how far we get. We are 2-10 which doesn't sound good but that is better than last year. So we have improved and hopefully we can end with 2 more wins under our belts. We did play in a varsity tournament this last weekend and we ended 11th out of 36 teams which was really good.
Club Volleyball starts up on the 3rd of November with tryouts so I don't get much of a break but I am super excited for club this year as we will have a really good group of girls.
The boys are doing great. Andrew is on an Aladdin watching kick right now and wants to watch it like 4-5 times a day. I have had to regulate that. Actually I just had to get up to turn it off because he just came and told me it was over. He is saying more and more stuff everyday and it is weird to see how much he is comprehending and remembering. He definitely is soaking things up like a sponge. Beck is beginning to cruise along furniture, much to Andrew's dismay. He is chasing Andrew constantly trying to play with Andrew's books and toys that he has brought up to the couch. He has 2 teeth already and 2 more that will break thru any day now. It is crazy how much faster he is doing everything.
Peter had to head out of town this week for a project with work up in Moscow, ID. He is going to head to Spokane for the weekend after being in Moscow so that he can see our nephew be blessed and visit with his family. He is loving work and even though it is stressful and busy at times, he still enjoys it.
Well hopefully I will update more frequently but we will see.
