You Asked For It!

I've been toying around again with the Morph idea and I wanted to show you all what I came up with. Since I know Chris is a big fan of our current Commander in Chief, I thought I'd name this first one THE PREZ



Next, "He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go..."

Meet Cim Winehouse


Last but not least, meet the yummy Joshelina...
Tomb Raider 2 anyone?

Thank you Merck!

For those of you who don't know, Ellie has Asthma. She was diagnosed a few months ago. A couple weeks ago I took her to the Doctor because her asthma was flaring up every day, especially at night and she wasn't sleeping well and neither was I. In the waiting room there was a pamphlet put out by Merck about the myths and facts of asthma. Well, by the time I was called back to see the Doctor almost all of my questions were answered by the pamphlet. Asthma can be aggravated by infections. Ellie at the time had a sinus infection and had had several ear infections previously. Also, I guess it's really common for the asthma to get worse at night. The only bad news from the pamphlet was that it is a myth that all kids outgrow their asthma. Some do, but not all. Anyway, we got her on an antibiotic for 3 weeks and she has to use a nebulizer to breath in her asthma medicine. In the beginning she had to do it before bed and in the morning. The asthma is under control, at least for now, so we haven't been doing the nebulizer lately. Ellie got to the point where she would get angry if I tried to help her hold the nebulizer, so she holds it herself. I thought it was cute, so here she is.

READY TO RUN?

Just want to let you all know we put some pics up on our blog of our latest 5k run. We are making slow, but steady progress. I have been looking at different races in UT over the time of Thanksgiving, since we will be there. I found one 5k on Thanksgiving morning at 9am. Anyone in? We are working towards a 10k this fall...We'd love it if any of you want to join our running train! Either way, its pretty much the only thing that motivates us to get off the couch & get in shape! This last race was in Santa Barbara, and I feel like no matter how much I ran trying to prepare for this, I was still so tired! I can't imagine what a 10k or more will do to me! We ran it with a friend from our ward Kevin, Chris' mom Linda, and about 200 other people. I placed 6 out of all women, all age groups, and 3rd in my own age group! The impressive thing was the power walkers who power walked it in less than 28min!
