The Dirty Dash

Last Saturday Jonny and some friends ran in the dirty dash up at soldier hollow. It was a 10k mud run, which was so cool!

Here is the group! 2 teams of 5


There were obstacles throughout the entire course, including this giant slip n' slide!


A lot of people dressed up, I thought this team was clever. They ran the whole thing chained together!


This is right after they came out of the "mystery obstacle" which ended up being a marsh. yuck. It stunk pretty bad, and the runners had to be careful not to lose their shoes!
This happened to be the spot where spectators could throw water balloons, so the boys are trying to block them :)


Already getting muddy!


Here is the mud pit at the end of the course


It was crazy!


Can you even tell that he was wearing a white shirt?!


Yep, he got pretty dirty!


The team after:



They got to shower off after..


Jonny had such a blast, and I had so much fun watching it.

On a side note, I made sugar cookie fruit tarts (thanks for the recipe Kylee!) the other night. They were sooo good!

Here you go.


Certain people have been getting on my back about not posting pictures on here, so here are some for you to enjoy...

Here is Jonny off to his last day of class at BYU


And this is from my birthday. I know that was a while ago, but I never mentioned it. Here I am about to enjoy my free dessert at Macaroni Grill, yum!


A while back we bought a picture frame set from Bed Bath but we finally got around to putting it up..







This one is missing a picture, we still need to get our graduation pics from Jonny's dad, so that spot is reserved for one of those :)

Ok ok, here is what people want to see....


Here I am at 6 weeks



And here is what I look like now (at 17 1/2 weeks)


But here is what I feel like...

I realize I have a looong way to go, but I already feel big (I know, I know..this is nothing compared to what I will look like in Feb). If it was just my belly that was growing, I'd be fine. But it's my whole body! I'm trying to eat healthy and exercise every day, but I can't seem to slow the weight gain. But hey, at least I have an excuse, right?! Well, I just hope it comes off fairly quickly after the baby comes.

The exciting thing is that I am actually starting to look pregnant. I ran into someone yesterday who I haven't talked to in years, and she said "wow, you're pregnant!" So if she noticed right away, hopefully that means I'm beyond looking just chubby, and actually look pregnant. But now looking at that picture, my belly still looks really small, so who knows :)

Patience is a virtue..


Too bad I don't have any.

I am making myself crazy thinking about our little one. I could literally go right now and find out the gender. The catch? Fetal foto is kind of expensive. And why would I pay extra money when my own doctor will tell me the gender in about a month? It's just not worth it....right?

yeah, try telling that to yourself when you are staring at your little baby bump, not knowing if you should call it a he or a she. I have heard of many women who have that "mother's intuition" and somehow just "know" the gender of their unborn children. Hmm... not me! I don't have a clue!

As of today, I am 16 weeks along! I started my last semester of college, and it's going to be a fun one. Thank goodness I have school and work, it makes time go by very fast. I am still impatient though..

Here are some pregnancy updates:

Still sick. I take my drugs, and feel pretty good though. Last week I decided not to take my pill, cause I felt unusually good. Big mistake! My poor neighbor got to see me lose my dinner in our parking lot because I couldn't make it inside. oops :)

Along with my belly, the rest of my body seems to be expanding. Yikes. I no longer fit into any of my normal shirts, so I wear my baggy (well, they used to be baggy!) BYU t-shirts every day. I am putting off buying maternity clothes as long as possible!

Smells don't bother me as much anymore, and I have actually started cooking again. Jonny is definitely happy about this :)

Baby Kats is now 4 1/2 inches long! Now, if I only knew if it was a boy or girl..
