He Can See

Jay has wanted to get Lasik eye surgery done for years. After getting 2 eye infections in the last few months, he decided it was time. Last Friday, Jay did it. No more contacts, no more glasses. He can now wake up and look at the clock and see what time it is. Other than some annoying dryness, his eyes are great. He is so glad he did it.

Happy Birthday Jay!

On May 21st, Jay turned 32. He was in Las Vegas for work, but came home that afternoon so that we could celebrate with him. We did not go out because Jay just wanted to eat some pizza and watch his Lakers. I guess that is a perfect birthday to him! Travis and Sara are always so excited when Jay gets home from business trips (ok, I am too!!). They just can't get enough of their daddy.
On Saturday night, we went out to dinner to Riptide with some of our friends to celebrate Jay's birthday. We had a wonderful time! We are so lucky to have such great friends!The Eks & Larges
The Walkers & Wallins
The Wilsons & Abi's brother & sister in law

Happy Birthday Jay! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband.

I love you!!

My Marathon Man

Congratulations Jay....he finished his first and last marathon!! #3098 finished the St. George Marathon in 4 hours and 20 minutes. I am so proud of him! He ran it with my brothers, Joe & Clint, and my sister JC. I thought that running that marathon would have turned Jay into a runner for life and I would be a marathon widow, but now is done running. His goal is completed, so off to the next goal--building up those muscles. Jay has traded in his running shoes and scenic runs through the canyon for some weights and the view of skinny, silicone women at the gym. Jay I am really proud of you. You are a great example to me. I love you.

4 More Miles

Jay got up this morning at 4:00 and ran 22 miles! He shaved 18 minutes off his 20 mile time (he was getting over a cold on his 20 mile run). After his run, he walked in the house, huge smile on his face and arm in the air. He was really pumped. He is totally going to be able to do the marathon...what is 4 more miles (easy for me to say!!)? Good for you Jay. I am so proud of you!!

20 Mile Man

Soaking after the long run

"Hey mom, what color is my mouth?"

Jay is training for the St. George Marathon and today was his longest run yet. He ran 20 miles. He was gone by 5:00 this morning. Usually after the long runs, Jay is not in the best of moods, but today he did great. He said he could have gone another mile. I don't think that he will have a hard time with the marathon. What is 6.5 more miles? (Easy for me to say!) He usually soaks in a cold bath after, but today he filled up the kids pool and soaked in there. It did not take long for Travis and Sara to join him. Jay did not last long with them in there...too much splashing. I am very proud of Jay. He is a very determined person. I may not understand why anyone would even want to run a marathon, but good for him for setting the goal and sticking with it.
