Happy Independence Day!!

I think this 4th of July was one of my favorites in such a long time. It reminded me of when I was a kid, I used to love this holiday growing up. 

Family would come over, we would BBQ, we always went all out on fireworks and it would last all night long...I really miss that.

This year we kept it pretty simple; food, pool, movies, family and fireworks!

Jeff's sister, Melissa and her husband Mike and their cute little Lorelai came over to spend the holiday with us and it was a lot of fun!

Sooooo... the pictures are all super small because for some reason they didn't transfer off my phone in that great of a quality. Who knows!

  We made an American Flag out of homemade mini cupcakes!

I made my men wear matching shirts

Dyl ate LOTS of food

It was Lorelai's first 4th!! 

She loves her Giraffe the boys bought her the day she was born.

We watched a movie in the pool as the sun went down

The boys launched off of Mike's shoulders A LOT!

...and made serious splashes with their cannonballs!

Jeff towed Dylan around...until he found the noodle

It was pretty much a great night finished with fireworks and a much needed long night of sleep....it's not often when Dyl asks to go to bed!

Thanks Melissa, Mike and Lorelai for spending your fourth of July with us!!!

M.I.A.

I haven't really been in the blogging mood...it's a selfish thing! It's always something with three boys and all of them at home, trying to keep them busy and not driving me CRAZY!!Plus I never really know if anyone looks at this thing anymore so sometimes I just think whats the point??! 

A lots been going on so far this summer. We have been keeping cool going to tons of movies. Like every year we got the Summer Movie passes from Harkins but pretty much every week I think we have gone to another movie too...there are just so many good movies out right now! Of course the pool has been fun too, we had our first movie night (sort of) outside while we swam last night while we waited for the fireworks to start...pictures in another post. Jeff and I have been trying to keep up the date night thing but it's so hard with all the work he's been getting in. I feel like I don't see him much anymore but he says that he's about a month away from being done with the project and then he will be back to normal hours!! I can't wait to have him home at dinner again and I'm even more excited to see him on the weekends..I sure hope everything that's supposed to happens from all this does.

The best news of the summer is we are going to DISNEYLAND!!! We didn't think we would get to do anything super fun this summer just the basics because of Jeff's schedule right now but he needs a break...WE ALL NEED A BREAK! and so he's going to take a week off to take us before he starts the testing on what he's doing. We are super excited and so GRATEFUL for all the hard work he puts in to make our family trips possible.

Only about a month until school is back up and running...AJ starts middle school this year. I'm pretty sure I'm less ready for this than he is I'm getting anxiety just typing about it!! Dylan and Trevor's birthdays are coming up too....LIFE IS MOVING WAY TOO FAST LATELY!! How could my baby be turning 4? How could my Trevy Woo be turning 9??! And preschool...when did preschool happen??!! 

OK enough this post is stressing me out! HA!

We hope everyone's summers are going as great as ours!!

 

So I've decided after 3 years of putting my life on hold to have a baby that I am obviously not ready for to begin a new journey that will hopefully help me in many journeys to come....I Jennifer LeahAnne Stout am going to run a 10 mile run in November followed by a half marathon in January! I know what your thinking I'm crazy and nuts and how do I plan on doing that in the shape I'm in BUT I have faith I will succeed and will prove to not only my self but all those on lookers that have in the past or present doubted me. 

I'm really excited about it actually to be honest! I've been wanting to do this since the first morning I saw Cody Brewster and Melanie Scott run and found out that they do this every single day! Something I always envied others doing I am now going to do and I can't wait!!!! I'm lucky to have such an informed friend in Suzanne Graham who has given me so much knowledge in what I need to do to train.

I don't usually post personal progress on here but this is such a huge deal for me I felt it needed to be said....I'll be posting periodically on my achievements!

Wish me luck!
