Double Trouble

Check out the cutest twins you've ever seen! Brady and Barrett Stewart were born in January, and I now have 8 nieces and nephews. Even though they are not mine, I think they are the most adorable twins I have ever seen and just had to put some pictures up as a proud aunt!

No Cerebellum?!

This is an amazing story of a little boy who is surpassing all expectations even though he is missing very crucial parts of his brain. Because I work with children every day who have difficulty with everyday tasks such as speech and language, I was very inspired! This is worth the watch and shows us that the brain is all the more complex and miraculous than we already thought!

Feeling Just a Little Like Forrest

I am proud to say that after this weekend I am now a half marathon champion! My sister and I started training last year, (I only trained for two months...probably explains all my pain two days later!) and we reached our goal of running 13.1 miles. I never thought I would be able to run such a long distance and for such a long amount of time. But against all odds, we reached the finish line with the help of every muscle in our bodies. It was really a fun weekend with my sister and her husband who came down from Las Vegas to hang out with me and Kyle. It was a great day and a great feeling to able to accomplish something I never thought I would. I now have a new appreciation for cars altogether and for athletes around the world! Blue Betty, I love you! Go RUNNERS!!

Pumped and ready before the run...

Ready to collapse after the finish line...

Thanks Steph for convincing me to do this crazy thing and for always having crazy, fun ideas!! Thanks Kyle for pushing me to train, even during Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Hunting Season 2010

This year I drew out for a cow elk and a deer in Nevada. My dad, sister (who is pregnant with twins!), brother, and I hunted through the weekend and weren't seeing very much. The weather was warmer than usual and a lot of the deer were holding tight and not moving around too much. On Monday, my brother shot a forked horn and then headed to my grandma's. On Monday night, my dad and I were able to hunt for cow elk, and I shot a 550 lb. cow elk from 254 yards! On Tuesday I was able to get a shot at a forked horn. It was a fun hunt this year! Thanks Dad for being the best hunting guide in Nevada once again!
