This past weekend was marvelous!! I love when Ben is home and spends all of his time with us. It seriously doesn’t get better than that! We went shopping at Costco and ate all their free samples, organized our house, watched movies, stayed up late talking, ran a 5k, applied for our passports, went to a BBQ and met new friends, watched the BYU game, played softball, played at parks, went on a bike ride and ate chocolate cupcakes! I wish it didn’t have to end, but alas life must go on and somebody’s gotta bring home the bacon. So off to work Ben goes. 🙁
Here are some of the things I managed to take pictures of.
Hal loves helping with laundry. She climbs right in but struggles getting out. lol
We went to a playgroup at a nearby park. Hallie loved just wandering around. She even learned how to go down the slide by herself!
My friend Nicolette and I took our kiddos on a train ride at Burke lake. It was so much fun!!
I ran another 5k. This time it was in Arlington and supported firefighters, police, etc. I thought it was fitting considering my dad is a stud of a firefighter. I finished in the same time I did my first race. No improvement but also not worse so it’s a good thing. 29 mins.
Ben and Hallie came to support me. This is them chilling before the race started.
This is just a fraction of the people who ran. I wanna say there were about 4000 runners. That’s a lot!
*Funny story- While we were waiting to start we saw a girl dressed in a Redskins jersey, cowboy boots, and some sort of skirt/panties. She stood up on a wall so she could look for someone and a man stood in front of us and was taking her picture. Ben and I laughed and I was disgusted. When he finished up he walked right past us and I asked him “Did you get her?” He responded with, “kindof”. He had to be in his 50’s and he was nasty!!!!! At first I just kept thinking how repulsed I was at this man, but then I realized that the girl WANTED the men to look at her like a piece of meat. So…stupid man, stupid girl! Okay now I’m off my soap box.
Hallie was out on the drive home. She was such a good sport. LOVE her hand under her chin. So cute!
This weekend we also went for a bike ride with Hallie. (Thanks Lee and Stacey for letting us borrow your wagon!!) Hallie loved it. She is seriously so cute!!
What a great weekend. I love my life!!
Congrats on another great time with your 5K! I was going to try for my first this summer, then I got knocked up and sick… maybe next summer though. And you are my inspiration to do it, you look AWESOME Britt! Sounds like you’ve had a great weekend… where are you going with those passports?

Don’t you just wish you were a bazillionaire so your hubby could stay home with you all day everyday?? I know I do!! 🙂 And Britt, what’s wrong with standing up on walls in booty shorts to get a little attention? I do it ALL the time!! HAHAHAHA!!! I am so proud of you for your drive and commitment to running all these races!! You are an inspiration to fatties like me! It must be said again: you look SO amazing!! I want to be skinny again!!!!!!!! As always lil Hallie is such a doll. I really can’t wait to meet this cute girl!! Love and miss you!
Look at you all cute and skinny running a 5 k! That is my plan for next summer. NOT be prego and run a 1/2 marathon!
Hello, you are totally skinny and running in all these races! I am actually running in one this Saturday that my dad organized, but I can guarantee I will either die along the way or it will take me a few hours, lol. You look great!
