Last weekend was so great. I actually had Kyle with me for all of Saturday!! That has only happened one other time since December. It was so nice. I love him so much!
On Friday we got a last minute call from one of Kyle's clients asking us if we wanted to come to the Susan G Koman event the next morning and walk for cancer. Well, I always thought that it would be a neat thing to do- and it was even one of the things on my life list. So we said yes! The next morning we woke up nice and early- much to Kyle's dismay- and headed to downtown Las Vegas, where the old strip used to be. It was so cool to see the tens of thousands of people who had gethered together to support such a great cause.
Here I am with my walking buddy just before the race is about to start. She was nice enough to go at a slower pace than I am sure she had wanted. We walked the 5K- which has the same equivalent to 3 miles. Kyle didn't think that I was going to make it. He even said, "Amanda, you get tired when we walk around the mall- how do you think you are going to do 3 miles?" But it was something that I really wanted to do and I had my mind set on doing it. It was great- long but great.
Here are my hands after I was done walking. This picture doesn't really give them justice but they were so incredibly fat and my feet were killing me!! The next day, when I woke up I realized that maybe that was not the best thing to do when you are 6 months pregnant. I don't remember ever being so sore in my entire life, but it was totally worth it. I think that we will do it again next year and now I can check something off of my life list!
After the race we ran over to Kyle's uncle and aunt's house for a baby shower. It was pretty fun. Then, later that night we all met up at the temple to be with the sister who is getting ready to go on her mission. It a perfect way to end the day.
Here we all are. Kyle and I are so grateful that they let us come and do things with them- thanks again guys.
And since there are five of us who are all pregnant at the same time, we think it's fun to take pictures of all of us together to see the how everybody is progressing.
Here we are in January- the one with the baby isn't pregnant. And we are in the order of when our due dates are.
And here we all are again just a few nights ago. Funny what a couple of months will do!

woo-hoo for updates! I love reading about what you are up to because I don't see you! That is so awesome that you did the walk! I would love to do that! (but I would have to walk beacuse I don't run well) The pictures with all you pregnant girls is so cute! :) You look great!
We are doing the race for the cure (in Salt Lake) this weekend too! I hear it's an emotional race- meaning that you see survivors, people who are running for loved ones, etc. I'm excited for it. -K
Grandma M told me what fun she had being with all of you. Just seeing those pictures, makes me want to come out and visit...soon!!! I sure look forward to seeing the babies!

Well I'm proud of you Amanda for doing the race and I'm glad that you are ok and didn't over do it too much. I want to do that race too sometime. I love the pic of all of you prego ladies. It is amazing what a couple months can do to a belly. you look great!
