7 miles first thing in the morning with the sister.
Lunch with these lovelies and my brother, mom and sister.
Of course.
Kidnapped my niece so she could spend the day with me and Brooker.
The most stylish little boy you will ever see in your entire life.
Friends since we were 13.
My niece is a genius.
And she has a good arm.
My favorite salad for dinner.
Brooke made us some delicious wooden cookies.
Gold Medal Ribbon for dessert.
10 miles in the mountains this morning!

Michelle @ A Healthy Mrs
I don’t know what that chocolate thing is, but I kinda want to eat it for breakfast now. And lunch. And maybe dinner? :)
Have a great Saturday!
Meaghan @ Tale of Two Teachers
Hahaha I was just thinking the same thing!!!! What is it?!
Celeste White

What a fun day!!!!

Have fun on the run this morning! I just had to say my daughter has had those wooden cookies since she was about Brooke’s age. She is 5 and still plays with them. I gave her a little lady bug kitchen timer and when it goes off she says “Cookies are ready!”. I never get tired of it.
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun
I would love to run where you do! I bet it is so beautiful! Looks like you had a wonderful day! I am off to run at the good ol’ gym on the treadmill!
Sarah @PickyRunner
Have a great run! It looks like you had a great day with the little ones :) Brooke’s PJ’s are the cutest. Most stylish baby ever!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated
Your niece is getting so big! Looks like a super fun day!

looks like a great day!
Wendy @ New Moms Talk
Awesome!
My day yesterday in word pictures:
*caring for a surgically repaired ankle and reminding my hub that he cannot drive with the meds he’s on in his system.
*crawling laps around the blanket in the living room (my niece and nephew decided to join their cousin). (Would this be a prelude to track workouts?)
*my face in sheer joy when I found cotton scented citronella candles on sale at Target for 70% off!
*a tiny bit of yoga and core work.
Karien @ Running the Race
Brooke looks SO cute with that headband!! That chocolate thing in the second picture… I need it!!! :)
Leah @ Running with the Hayneses
30 miles in the mountains this morning for me (if I make it that far)! I haven’t run more than 15-ish since my May 50-miler, so not sure this is going to be the most sensible run ever…but when did I ever claim to be sensible?!
Leah @ Running with the Hayneses
And I hope you enjoy your run! I’ll be thinking of you!
Cathryn
That chocolate thing looks amazing!!
Up at 5am as it’s race day! Does anyone ever get out of bed at the time excited for the race? Ugh I’m sleepy ;)
Anne @ CandyCrazedrun.wordpress.com
The only thing better than 10 miles in the mountains is the 7 miles I got to run with my mom this morning :) (Though I think both of us would have preferred 10 in the mountains!)
Kristi
That dessert… oh my. Looks delicious.
Lauren @ Love Is The Point
Glad I’m not the only one who is all like… Wha?! That first dessert! I never saw such a thing, but now I’m sad that I haven’t! Looks unreal.
Sarah
I love Gold Medal Ribbon from Baskin’ Robbins! My FAV ice cream flavour ever :) Good choice Janae!
Love all the pictures of Brooke and her cousins :)
Laura @ Live, Run, Sparkle
Enjoy your Saturday! I’m doing The Color Run this morning and I’m so excited!!
mary (sisters running the kitchen)
whatever that chocolate thing is…i want it! have an amazing 10 mile run in the mountains!
Marie
I’m seriously so envious of your ability to run back to back days at such high mileage. Ever since I’ve ITBS I haven’t been able to go back to back days if its over 2miles. What’s the secret?!?!?!?
Lauren
If I had Curly’s hair, I would be an extremely happy person. Have a great run and I hope you don’t run into any mountain lions! ;)
Sharsti@theblondehaiblueeyedrunner
I need that ice cream!!! It’s only 8am though so maybe ill hold off:)
Chelsea @ A Fit LittleOne
Can I just say, that I am obsessing over all this yummy looking food, especially the dessert!! That little boy defiantly is stylish! Dang he beats me haha Woohoo!! That run this morning sounds like fun, Enjoy :)
Heidi @ Idlehide

Liz @ The Girl on Fire Now
Have fun on the mountain run :) I will live vicariously through you :)
Kathy
Never a dull moment in Utah…love how many things you get out and do with so many friends and Curly too!! If you stay in Utah her and Brook will be as close as you and your sisters…which is very cool!!
Your food always makes my mouth water too!! YUM!
Verlin
Carrying Brooke while giving Curly a ride on your back = cross training.
Rachel @ Undercover Diva: A Sitcom
That little boy is definitely stylish. So cute! I’m going to come visit and let’s just eat all the desserts. Who needs real food when dessert is an option?
MILF Runner
Please describe what that chocolate bomb thing is. I THINK I NEED ONE.
Enjoy your mountain run…tell me about the hardest hill so I can pretend I’m there. Hard hills are my fave. They are the best place to test one’s mettle :)
Christine
Looks like a super fun day! I hope your run was awesome this awesome!

Amy @ Run Mom Run
I need to find running buddies to run with again! It’s so hard to run by yourself! I hope you had a great run this morning!
That ice cream looks delicious and defies the laws of gravity, just like ice cream should!
Gillian
Mmm wooden cookies :). I laughed out loud at your sentence haha. So cute. She will be a baker like her mom.
Zaneta
Have fun in the mountains!! Take some pics too!! I LOVE living vicariously through other people’s running stories right now! I hate being injured!! Hoping to make a comeback soon! :)
Layne
All those kids are unbelievably cute. And I really want that desert!!
Amie
I cannot get over how cute Brooke and Curly are! :) Also, you eat the most delicious looking food.
Hawaii bucket list
Caroline
Family are the best, especially sisters :) Also, did your niece win a fish or something?!
megan d
I had a friend give me one of those chocolate cake mousse things from kneaders after watching her kids for her. I think that should be our countries new currency. Best dessert ever.
Michelle @ Running More Than Errands
Off topic: Did you know there are candy corn Oreos? Just saw them at Target.
Suzanne
Brooke’s headband is so cute! And what is that chocolate thing? It looks amazing!
Runner Girl Eats
That ice cream cone looks incredible. But not nearly as good as Brooke’s cookies.
sara
Where do you go running in the mountains? I am always looking for new places to run.
Britt @ Fit Fit Britt Britt
Good luck on your run! I have 9.5 on my agenda tomorrow!
Debbie @ Deb Runs
Looks like you guys had a great day! Brooke is learning to make cookies early on! Yay!
michelle kim
Aww, what a fun day to spend with the girls :)
Have a great run in the mountain!
Summer
I have been stalking/following you for a while now and I can’t get enough of your little Brooker. She makes me want a little munchkin of my own. Your posts have helped me get through a running injury that has been plaguing me for 4 years. I am up to 7 miles now thanks to your encouraging words and my awesome PT! Love your blog!
Cassi Rose
That just made me excited for a quick second! When I saw that little boy, I thought… wow! He looks really familiar! Then when I saw his mom I knew I was right! My hubby was in the same class as her hubby in Oakley, Idaho (I won’t include names just in case ;). Small world!
Kay
What a fun day! Brooke’s outfits are always adorable too!
Kari @ Running Ricig
Brooke and her cousin are so cute together!
niki
Adorable pictures!
Utah is so gorgeous- I need to come visit again!
