Little Helper

I have a pretty good little helper these days. Alexa has been helping me with all the chores. I don't know what I ever did without her.


She helps me...

...do the laundry

...unpack the suitcase

...make dinner

...clean the bathroom

And she's even started feeding herself!

I know... I'm the luckiest.

Alexa and I took a little trip to the DI a couple days ago. I got her her own cell phone so she can talk to her people while I talk to mine. I know, what is the world coming to?! (Just for the record, she won't be getting a real one until she can pay for it herself.)

She didn't put it down all day. She was so happy!

Oh, and I tried putting her hair into pigtails for the first time. She looks like she has antennas.

Little Fairy

Here are some Halloween pictures. Thanks to my good friend Melissa who let us borrow the costume, Alexa got to be a cute little fairy.

The headband lasted about 1 1/2 seconds, but at least I got one shot with it on.

You're able to sleep anywhere! (Notice that the bed is only 2 feet away.)

My first tag!

Sorry Staci, sometimes I don't check my blog for long periods of time because I'm internetless at home still.

QUIRKY
I have been tagged to see how quirky I am:

1) I have to have the bathroom towels hung up just right with the folded edges facing inward or I go crazy. That was one of the first things I taught Brad after we got married.

2) Whenever I walk up steps (if there are more than 5) I always count them. I don't know...I just love to count! I would have rocked that "Detour" on the Amazing Race.


I'm pretty sure I have more than just these two things, but that's all I can think of right now. I'll have to ask Brad and then add to the list.

I tag: Kim W. and Hannah O.

And....it's finished!!!!

After 5 long months of training, Brad's crazy goal of running a marathon (26.2 miles) was finally accomplished! He and his brother Kyle ran the Top of Utah marathon on Saturday and finished in just over 4 hours. I'm so glad I got to be there to see them finish. It was a big party at the finish line. Here are a couple videos:


The first one is of Kyle and the second of Brad. I have to appologize for the bad video job. I don't have any skills.

Here are the two of them after finishing. I took it as a good sign that they were still standing.

When I asked how the race went Brad said, "I don't think I'll ever run another marathon."

I think I'm ok with that.

While we were in St. George a couple weeks ago, we got to stop and say hi to my mission buddy Tanner and his wife Stacy. They have a little boy named Alex who is 2 months older than Alexa. Look how cute!
