What do you do on Sunday night?

Last Sunday night Mallory invited us all to her "silly party" which ended up being very, very silly. All the girls had a great time dancing and wearing their undies on their heads. Did you know there are many, many ways to actually wear underwear on one's head? This picture displays one of the configurations our girls came up with.

On Saturday, Rachel (Nathan's sis) and I ran in our very first half-marathon. I think we both had a good time. The trails were gorgeous through the Thanksgiving Point gardens and golf course. I'm in no way a fast runner, but I've found it's something I really enjoy doing and a great way to get some "me/release" time. Thanks to Nathan for helping me accomplish my goal, as well as Crystal (Nathan's other sis) who encouraged me to do it in the first place.

This post is a "tad" overloaded with Jaren pictures. In my own defense, my sister-in-law Hannah asked for more photos of him (see comments in previous post). I do enjoy showing him off though. We think he is just soooo sweet and sooo cute. He's not too big on smiling yet, but when he does, it melts my heart.

Grandma Cardon is here for a visit. She never fails in bringing a hefty supply of gifts and goodies for the kids. Here they all are in their new Sunday clothes she brought them.

Very cute big boy outfit from Grandma Cardon.

Mia was thrilled to feed her little bro a bottle. She did a great job too.

Jeans and a Henley...ummm...I am sorry, but he's a doll.



Jaren sporting a very cute button-up Marci let us use. He is a handsome boy.

Very cute Easter dresses brought to us by Grandma Jill. I thought they looked so darling...even if the picture isn't the greatest.

Yahoo for running your first 1/2 marathon. Way to go! It is quite an experience. I wish you would have ran the Salt Lake with me. Your family is just so so so adorable. I had to pull over Tad over to see the cuteness! Look forward to seeing you this weekend.

I want to play the underwear on my head game, I'm so sorry I missed it. I also loved all pictures of the children and of course they are adorable. I'm so proud of you for staying the course and running Saturday even after being sick all week - you're quite the "voman" as Sydney would say. Thanks for sharing it was a lovely ending to my Sunday. I love you guys!

Okay thank you so much for all the wonderful pictures of Jaren and the girls. He is so stinking adorable and I love the henley and jeans as well. Onto other things, we have a really funny picture of Molly with her underwear on her head the same way too and it makes me laugh my face off every time it comes up on the screen. And WAY TO GO...you amaze me with your running. You are an inspiration to me, I only hope that by next summer I am able to run even half this far. You did awesome.

One of my daughters loves to put her undies on her head and run around pretending she's captain underpants. She thinks she's so funny. Jaren is so cute! I can't believe how straight his hair is compared to Corbin's tight curls. Way to go on the 1/2 marathon, I love running. It truly is a release!

If your mom plays the underwear om the head game I want pictures and a video!

I am dying to get my hands on Jaren. Please tell me you are coming to the reunion.

My friend ran that 1/2 marathon. I'm training for my first in July. Good job for you. Your family is adorable.

The underwear shot is a classic. If any of them become famous, this picture will be found. Wow, a half marathon; congratulations on accomplishing that one. The kids are cute and I can't wait to see them.
