On Friday my sister Juli ran the Salt Lake Deseret News Marathon. Here she is at about mile 23 - looking good I have to say and still running! 
Her pace picked up and a smile plastered her face as she realized she was going to finish her first marathon. She did really well finishing at 4 hours 8 min.
We had a great time watching and cheering Juli on - we are proud of her for accomplishing something so incredible!
Preston and Alayna celebrating Juli's finish with a little dance!
And sharing a Fat Boy that was meant for Juli....
For the 24th we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows on my dad's firepit in their backyard - Alayna loves "a hot dog on the fire" and is always asking Grandpa for it.
We had a monumental day last week - when Alayna actually pooped in the potty for the first time - here she is showing off her two gummy worms. Don't let this fool you though - we are not that successful on a daily basis in potty training - she has gone a few times but really has no desire to do it all the time. So we wait....

Juli is pretty incredible. Its so amazing. I look up to her- wish I could do that!! Maybe if you bought your kid better treats she'd want to go potty more ;)
That's great that you have started potty training already. We are thinking about starting to train both of our two children together soon. My son, who is three and a half, has no desire at all. I think though that if I use your candy idea it just might be motivation enough! Let's hope! Being done with diapers, for now at least, would be a blessing!
Love the update. Juli is a hero to all of us. Thanks for coming and spending the day with us. We had so much fun. It was a great day together!! Love ya all!
Wow, Juli is my hero. Maybe someday I'll be able to run 1 mile without throwing up or passing out.
HOORAY for poopy in the potty!!!
