Our KC Getaway

Brady made his first trip to Kansas City this weekend and did a pretty good job in the car. He screamed his head off at first, but once I moved to the back with him he was ok. He took a bottle in his carseat when he got hungry, so we didn't have to make any stops along the way...what a trooper! We stayed with Michelle and Kendall and had a great time. Friday night we watched Tangled and it was really cute. Saturday was the 5K, and Quentin is proud to say he ran the whole way with absolutely no training (and is feeling it now!) We went to some garage sales before the race and then I dropped off our racers and Brady and I went to park...out in Timbuktu. It was seriously like a 20-25 minute walk just to get to this dang race and the road we had to walk did not have a shoulder. So basically I risked my life - and Brady's - to go cheer on these racers! Brady did really well the whole time and was content to sit in his stroller and chew on his burp cloth most of the time. It was right by the temple they are building in Kansas City, so it was fun to get to see that and we look forward to going inside soon enough. Saturday afternoon was Garrett's birthday party. Can you believe this little guy is a year old already? He is so cute and it is funny to watch him walk because he just seems too little to be walking. We had a great time as always. And to make it even better, Brady got to meet his Great Grandma Weekes, who was returning from her winter in Hawaii.

Good job Quentin on running your race! Good job Natalie and Brady for walking so long to cheer him on. As always, Brady's the cutest.

Oh man, I love this kid (and his parents too, of course)! He looks so chubby in the bottom picture. Yay Quentin! I'm working on running for 2 minutes without dying...can't imagine a 5K right now!
