Just Keep Walking.....

This is the mantra I repeat over and over again in my mind. "Just keep walking (or running) just keep walking" so that I just keep at it. My walk/jog is truly a love&hate relationship. I love being out in nature, love the scenery, love what it is doing for my health. I hate the heat, have not enjoyed the extreme heat mixed with humidity (I did not even have to put on lotion up till this last week!) and hate getting up and moving when I am so tired.

But the walk is GORGEOUS! I love walking up the very steep hill because this house near the top is stunning. It is kind of the architecture I grew up, not very Utahish and we love walking by their field of horses and chickens (or better, Collin loves it!)

These two pictures do not begin to do this hill justice. It kicks butt!

But when you reach the summit, this is the beauty you behold. I may not think Utah is the prettiest state ( I love the green and brown is not really my thing) but the mountains are stunning, with the LDS temples dotting the valley.

And this view is even cuter! Jacob snoozes away on our little over one hour walk, while Collin eats his snacks. (There are healthy snacks served too!)

And look at those eyes. Collin is sadly already in love with girls. He was hanging out with a ten year old and an eleven year old at the splash park today. Geez, we are in for it once he hits puberty!

And here are my two happy boys with the stunning back-round!

These two are so silly!

We love our walks (most days!) Collin is always trying to keep an eye on his brother, make sure he has a constant supply of snacks he is not allowed to have, and not-so lovingly will hand unwanted toys or books over, usually putting them in Jacob's face. But Jacob is pretty easy going about it all. There is always a Popsicle at the end and a cold drink for these cute boys. I love my walk/jog with these cute two boys. They are the reason I walk, the reason I want to be healthy. 

And I would not have it any other way!
