Running goal: January 1/2 marathon.

So I will now review most of the things:
Hailey turned 3, on Sept. 10. We had a party at my sisters house, for my side on sept.7. It was super fun. She got a lot of fun things. It was a dora party, so it ended with a Dora Cake, she loved it. Then because Mikes' grandma passed away, we came back that night. We went to stake conference with EVERYONE, not kidding, grandparents have 10 kids, 50 grandkids, and 26 great grandkids. We went to the conference, and we sat with them. Well, tried to, that is a funny trick to play on parents, come and listen to an apostle, and bring the kids, for 2 hours, without nursery. We did it, but barely! Then afterwards, huge BBQ at his uncles home. It was then off to get the kiddos a nap. Then that night the viewing for grandma. It was very hard on all of us. That is the grandma that we used to take care of. We still live in the basement.
It was a hard day, that Sept. 4, will not ever be forgotten. I was awakened at 6:15, because of Ryker, I try to have him stay in his crib until 7:00 am, but I went and got him. I heard a lot of noise upstairs, and thought they were just being louder than normal. I started feeding Ryker, and felt go upstairs. I stopped feeding him and opened the door, I saw the caregiver, Liza, at the top of the stairs just crying, grandpa running around in total confusion, and fireman doing CPR on grandma. I was so sad. Mike came up shortly. I am so grateful that we had the opprotunity to serve her and love her, and most of all get to know her. Mike was such a great helper and loved her dearly. He was so nice to her. She lived a very fortunate life. I am also grateful that our Heavenly Father let me see that scene, sure it was hard to wake up to, but it taught me how fragile life is, and how the little things sure don't matter. We got up and went to the hospital, she passed away, we knew it at the house, but we still went.
That day, we had to keep busy, I went to Wal-mart, and tried to keep my mind off of it. Friday, we went on a run, wal-mart again, costco, and to dinner with a lot of the family that was in town, and made midnight jam. (Mike even helped!) Then saturday, we made zucchini bread and headed to Haileys' first party. Then the viewing and the funeral on Monday. Mike got to carry her one last time, it was hard. Hailey told her thanks for letting us live with you, I love you grandma. Hailey asked to go up and see grandma and Liza a lot the first couple of days, it was a everyday thing for us to go and see them. She has gotten better lately.
Well the last party was at Chuck E Cheeses, with the Palmer side, it was a lot of fun grandpa palmer and liza both came Hailey was so happy.
We have been busy this week with doctor appointments and other fun things, like teething! Hailey is "petite" she is 35.5 inches tall, and 25.4 pounds. She is not on the chart, sad I know. But the doctor said he would rather have her on this end than on the other, me too I guess. I feel bad tho.
Ryker is 10 months and feeling good. He is finally sleeping through the night. He is saying mamma, dadda, Haigey, and clapping his hands, and playing peekaboo. He is so fun, I just wish I had more one on one time with them both. I feel like I miss out on sooo much, but I am here constantly, if that makes sense. Hailey is doing great with her potty training, no accidents for like two months, even at night. Night potty going sucks, I think I woke up 6 times last night! On sunday she got too excited and had a little accident, but nothing too big, and no setbacks. (hopefully)
If you are still here, thanks for reading and caring. I have had a lot on my mind, and just now am getting it together again.
