Yesterday Jeff, Suzanne and I ran our longest run we'll run before our marathon.  The top number on my watch shows we ran 20 miles...and the bottom number is my average pace (minutres per mile) over the 20 miles.  I kick myself I didnt get a picture of the three of us... But here's proof!

Somebody LOVES smoothies!

Somebody also loves lounging like his daddy.

Daddy has him working on his technique.

Park day

Love my froggy Grandma Maruji got me!

MMMM!  Words cant quite describe how delicious this dessert was.  Sadly, it had some kind of nut in it so I was forced to eat it by myself!  *wink wink.  All this marathon running has justified me eating lots of delicious food I don't normally eat... ha ha ha.

Who wants some!!?  Guess who made strawberry jam for their FIRST time!?  (Thanks Alicia for the recipe)

Banks LOVES babies!  He kept putting baby Jack's pacifier in ...fun game.

Banks told me since daddy was gone, he would take it upon himself to be the official taste tester.

He approved.

Banks wanted to change his froggy's diaper....

.......and share his milk with him!

Cooking in Mommys new Wok.

Banks LOVED helping mommy wash the cars..

Banks helping daddy add some mulch into the flower beds.

My new baby!  Its a Pinky Winky Hydrangea Tree.  oooooo she's gonna be a beauty!

(not the best pic sorry...) but Banks pushes Swayzie (the lil neighbor girl) up and down the road.  Sooooo adorable!

MATC (where I teach at) celebrated their 25th anniversary.  They put on a big open house with games, food, etc.  We built a marshmallow shooting gun.

 

 

 

Jeff and I just after finishing our (Provo City) Half Marathon this morning.  I finished with a time of 1 hour 39 min mins which is a personal best!  We had beautiful weather.  Its kinda crazy to think this is only the the half way mark come June 14th (thats when I'm running Utah Valley full marathon...26.2 miles!!)

Apple Pie anyone?  (I should have taken the pie sheild off and added the caramel for the pic...ooops!  I get in such a hurry when I'm in the kitchen)

Grandma and Grandpa Maruji got to come visit last weekend!  They spoil Banks.  Grandma took Banks to play in the sandbox...so fun!

Banks loves his froggy Grandma Maruji brought him, and his car Grandpa brought him.  He packs them around everywhere!

This boy must be related to his dad because does he knows how to work a bag of chips and dip/salsa!

This is how we trick Banks into cuddling with us...letting him play with our cell phone!

I made the BEST homemade chicken pot pie the other day...thanks Em for the recipe!

Banks LOVES using the garden hose!

We were so lucky a couple weeks ago...Banks 's three cousins got to come have a sleepover at our house!  We had an easter egg hunt, made rice crispy treats (decorated by the newly attained easter candy), and went to this place called Kanagroo Zoo (has large bounce houses). 

At Kangaroo Zoo with the cousins!

Jeff did an amazing job putting up our tile backsplash.  I will send pictures soon of the finished product.  (Its all done, it just needs to be polished and sealed)

Jeff and Banks at his friend's kickstarter party for a product called the "Wezelwallet".  Aren't these two picture perfect!!? Oh, theyre so handsome!

I dont know why Banks looks so happy here ha ha.  But I wanted a pic of my tulips to share with you all!..

Easter Sunday.  Oh, I love these boys of mine!  This sweet old lady in the ward (who adores Banks) gave him this Easter basket!  It was full of candy, bubbles, and its a sandbucket with a shovel.  So sweet.

Pesto Mushroom Shrimp Pasta

I told you...he loves the hose!

This is our latest piece of furniture.  (Sorry not the best pic)  Its a black, leather, "double cuddler".  Actually, you could probably fit three people on this beauty.  Jeff's friend custom build this chair for us.  We love it!
