Pretty Muddy Run

I live in the best ward!  There are a lot of women my age, all are as different as can be but we all share one common thing, a love for Christ. Everyone is so nice and really good about including everyone, there are no cliques and when one sister wants to go do something she invites everybody and usually there are a couple other women who want to join in, movie nights, dinners, crafts, game nights, and. . .Mud Runs!  I was at a dinner with some women and they started talking about doing a mud run coming up so I decided why not! We spread the word and pretty soon we had a pretty nice group! It was a 5K which is about what I try and do at the gym, plus there are obstacles, and lots of MUD!  Ok so the mud was really only at the end of the course, but it was still lots of fun.

My friend Lisa made shirts for us with good ol' puffy paint and a T-shirt sale at Michaels. They said "Muddy Mormons"  yep that's what we are!
 There we all are before our start time, nice and clean
 The 5K part went by so fast, there was a couple climbing walls, an inflatable slide,  we had to run a portion with a 2X4 on our shoulders, but there wasn't that much mud until the end when you had to crawl under the banners in this mud pit!

 The leg picture, most of us left our shoes there...nasty!

  After the race, we rinsed off, changed into flip-flops and walked around to look at the vendors.   Then we drove home and the places where we still had mud, like the face had dried and we had to scrape if off in the shower, owie!  It was so fun to play in the mud!

Well, our little girl has finally arrived! Madelyn Kate Hoogland was delivered at 3:04 p.m. today (September 9th) weighing 7 lbs 4 oz and 20 1/2 inches. As you can see she has a FULL head of hair and we think she is the cutest baby ever! Mom is doing fine, we are just hanging out here at the hospital. Rylan is in very good hands at home with Grandma and Grandpa Young and Grammy Jody. Taking a bath, they had to wash her hair twice to get all the gunk out because it is so thick!

Our new nephew!

Yeah my sister Margaret finally had her baby! The poor girl spent hours waiting for her to be dilated enough to push and then started pushing to only realize that the baby was turned and his big burly shoulders could not fit, so they ended up doing a emergency c-section and found out that the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck! He was in the ICU for a couple hours and in the mean time Margie was just waiting in her room for a LONG time to hold her baby. Anna and I went up there to keep her company and we were there when she got to hold her sweet baby boy for the first time (they did let her hold him for a very brief second right after delivery but had to rush him off to the ICU). Jeff (Margaret's husband) is so tender and sweet to Margie it was so sweet to see their love for each other and their new baby. He was 8 lbs 2 oz that is about the size of Madelyn, maybe a bit bigger, and Maddy is almost a month old. Notice her baby acne, i don't know what to do for it, but it ...

I've been picture tagged

I was picture tagged by my wonderful sister-in-law Breezi You go to your 4th Picture file, and Choose the 4th Picture and post and then blog about it. This picture was taken while we lived in Boise with Anna, it was close to Christmas time 2006. Rylan was obsessed with the Jock Jams CD and he loved this particular song that was a medley of songs and there was a part that said, "and look at him go, and look at him go, he could go all the waaaaayyyy." At this particular part he would put his hand up to his forehead like he was looking a far distance away. He learned this choreography from his mother who learned it at her best friend's (thanks Meghan) church camp what like 10 years ago! (What can I say I love dancing) I bet if that song came on between me and Meghan we could do the whole routine for you. I guess I have to pass this on...if you are willing, how about Meghan, Kezia (come on you need more pics on your blog anyway) and Monica, who is a excellent picture taker.
