 So I left her alone for 1 minute a few mornings ago and this is what happened.  Teach me to leave the wipes open...


I thought I would get her into working out a little early.  She was totally weirded out.  She wouldn't let go because she thought she would fall.  We had to pry her little fingers off the bar while she squawked at us.  It was pretty funny.


 So this is how last saturday started, I got to run a 10k here on post to start us off. It was pretty fun, I shaved about 45 seconds off my time from last november on the same 10k course.

 Then after the 10k we headed to Seaside to the beach!  We weren't sure if it would be worth it because we got a late start, but we were so glad we went!  It was beautiful and Pyper loved playing in the sand and water.  Last time we brought her down to the beach she hated it and was pissed the whole time.  We were so happy to see that she enjoyed herself.


She was everywhere, we went with a big group of people who had kids.  She loved crawling around all of the other kids playing in the sand.  We were smart parents this time and packed plenty of sunscreen so we wouldn't repeat that sunburn we gave her last time.





We had a lot of fun at the beach that day.  I got to body surf, which I had not done since I was about 10ish in California.  Both me and Jordan thought it was a much needed break from our everyday routine.  So all of you needing a beach day come on out to Alabama and we will drive you to Florida to enjoy some fun in the sun.  Haha.

 Jordan took Pyper out in the torrential downpour so she would see what all the noise was about. As you can see by her expression she though it was awesome.

Here is the before picture for the SqwishSqwash Challenge.  It is a 'tough mudder' type of event.  It ended up being 11.8 miles with 20something obstacles and a crapload of mud and muck.  Lots of fun if you ask me!
 Here is the after picture of us doing a 'toyota' jump.  We were pretty tired but we had a really great time.  We stuck together the whole race.  I lost my matching bandana in the freezing spring after we jumped off a cliff into it.  If you want to see more pics check out www.swaggerjackphotography.com They had us on the front page for quite a while.
 This is Pyper's before the race picture. You wouldn't think she would need one considering she wasn't racing, but we are super amazing parents and you will see why...
 Here we are mitigating some giant tires.  This was the last obstacle before finishing and I will admit that seeing them in front of the finish line kinda just made me mad.  I was ready to be done! Hahaha.

 Pyper's post race picture, now you see why we are such amazing parents!  We didn't think about using sunblock because it was overcast out.  Lesson learned!  Poor Pype-bomb.
 Cute pic of falling asleep on dad.  She doesn't do this too often, so Jordan really enjoys it when she does.

 Hands on the hips, She is a sassy pants already.  We have got our work cut out for us!

 She loves to destroy!  I don't know where she got that from?  I let her kill anything if she is happy doing it.  She has been caught slipping paper off the coffee table and eating it.  She must have an ink deficiancy or something....I wonder if they make a supplement for that? She's kinda like a goat! Hehe.
 This is from just the other morning, I drug her outside running for and hour or so.  It was a bit cold out so I bundled her up, gave her some things to gnaw on and away we went.  She is awesome.
 This is from inside the Florida Caverns.  We took a saturday field trip a few weeks ago.  It was not too awesome but something to do.  They wouldn't let us take our baby backpack carrier thing in there so I zipped her into my hoodie.  It was fun, the old guy giving the tour kept calling us whipper snappers!  It was the highlight of the trip.

 We are so nerdy together.  She is getting so big I can't believe it.  I just busted out the 12 month size clothes and can't believe she is almost a year old already.  Where has the time gone?

It was definitely past-her bedtime in this pic, but I love these PJ's that I wanted a picture.  We need Grandma Laurie to maybe snag us some more cute PJ's from the outlet in Logan.  We miss UTAH!!! Oh, and all of the wonderful people in it too....haha.  We were just reflecting the other day how we miss sundays when we got to hang with our families.  We miss all of our friends and adventures soooooooo much.  Soon enough...We should be done in August/September sometime.....ISH.
