This post is really for me to help me keep track of my progress. But if you care to read it I have made it as entertaining as possible.
Stefen and I for the past month walk 2 miles a couple times a week. However my big goal in life is to be a runner. However I am not a runner. Have you ever seen the Friends episode where Phoebe and Rachel start running together? If you haven't here it is.
Yep folks that is pretty much how I run. With no class and all over the place. Stefen probably runs that way too. My point to all of this is I am not a runner and I really dont know how to do it the right way. Stefen likes walking with me but he has not motivation to help me run or even run himself. So thats where my new running buddy, Courtney, comes in. She wants to run a 5K in January and needs a motivator. So we started tonight! I did 3.4 miles overall and about half a mile of that was running. Now mind you I did NOT run a half of a mile straight a little here and a little there. But I did it! I ran! I looked like Phoebe I am sure. But I did it! According to the app I used i burned only 325 calories which is equivalent to an avocado. I also did some kicks in the pool tonight. I feel like my whole bottom half is going to fall off. I was having a hard time walking home after I left Courtney. But I did it! Ragnar here I come!
(one day I hope!)
At the beginning of September we went camping with our friends. We had delicious food and amazing fun! As always there are more pictures on facebook these are just the ones i like or have stories for.

Stefen going down! The water was so cold by the time we went down the WHOLE thing we were all numb.
There goes Jen.
Bye Adam!
That was fun lets go again.
There I go.
Jen Jumping off the cliff!
Erica Jumping!
Jordan being brave.
Uncle button was a trooper. He got cold and was tired and Brielle was cranky too. So he sat on a rock for about an hour holding the sweet baby just watching and chilling.
He got to watch Jaden too. Who in this picture was throwing a HUGE fit! He eventually fell asleep in a weird position He loved camping though. Everytime he see me or his button he asks when we can go camping again.
After a long day swimming! We were all pooped!
Jaden is happy again!
Poor Brielle was so tired by this point as soon as she got in the car she crashed. she loved taking her pictures though.
Glaring!
See my tongue!
After her nap and not being wet anymore!
Thanks to the Bywaters for this beauty!

On our way back from camping we stopped in Sedona. They had these cool music things.
Jen rocking it.
Old man! All these people were taking pictures of me with this dummy. He freaked me out but he was soo cool too. He waved!
We had a ton of fun on our camping trip! These are some of our closest friends here in the AZ we sure will miss them when we move but we hope to go on trips with them again soon!
So as most of you know I teach swim lessons. On Wednesday of this last week I was having a very hard time with this one class. There 3 students per class and this particular one are 2 brothers and a sister. There is a 6 year old boy and twin 4 year old boy and girl. Their dad had forgotten their goggles and all the kids were freaking out about that. The 4 year year old boy was freaking out for getting water in his ears and the little girl was asking question after question about stuff that wasn't important. While I was trying to talk the little girl into coming swimming with me the 6 year old kept interrupting saying teacher I have to tell you something. I kept telling him to hold on and finally after Im sure what felt like 5 minutes to him I let him speak. He gave me a hug and said teacher you are the best swim teacher ever. My heart just melted and I knew I could go on for the last 15 min if class.
