MOAB

First of all it's been too long since I've written. Ever since I discovered twitter I've gotten lazy and left our little blog all by it's lonesome on the big bad internet. Maddox and I have been great. He is getting so big, so smart, and so funny. He's doing great in pre-school, and is now a proud big brother. Maddox's mom and her husband had a baby just a few months ago, and Maddox is a very proud and protective older brother. He's always thinking about how to make his little brother happy, and will sometimes find old baby toys of his at my house and take them with him back to his mom's house for Milo.

Last weekend we went on our first vacation in quite a while. We made a little trip down to Moab for the half marathon. We were accompanied by my mom, and my friend Tyler Hall. Maddox only refers to him as "Tyler Hall." Not Tyler, just the full name. Anyways, we were running in the race so my mom came to watch Maddox. The hotels and motels in Moab get booked very quickly for that weekend, as the race usually sells out. I was registered to run through Huntsman Cancer because I was running the race for them, but I had to find a motel. The only thing I could find was this little motel at the end of town that wasn't exactly the Four Seasons. This place was tiny, the tv was about 14", and there were two twin beds. The best part though was the smell, it was all wood, and the walls had been freshly stained or something. We felt like we were staying inside of my high school wood shop project. Maddox loved the place though. When we walked in he kept talking about how nice it was. He loved that he could jump from twin bed to twin bed. It got me excited for future trips with Maddox. He'll be easy to please for sure with accomodations. Anyways, the race went well, the food was good, and Maddox definitely took full advantage of the 'no naps and later bedtimes. By Sunday afternoon when we got home we were both beat. It was our first trip to Moab, but I think we'll visit many more times.
