Chicago/Half Marathon

The second week of September we got to go visit Dave, Erin, and RB in Chicago. We had so much fun. Dave and Erin took us all around town. They live right on Lake Michigan with the coolest view from their 20Th story apartment. We had great food everyday. One of my favorites was our breakfast one morning at Eleventh City Diner. Check out the picture below.Friday we got tickets to a Chicago Cubs game . Ike loved every minute of it. Of course they won the game. Sunday I ran my 3rd half marathon this year. It was so fun the only challenge was the weather, 97% humidity and 83 degrees outside. Coming from Salt Lake with not much humidity mixed with warmer weather was quite the adjustment. It still turned out awesome. The rest of the time we just relaxed, shopped Michigan Ave, and checked out Ohio Beach on Lake Michigan. Every evening the guys would go out and find some true Chicago Style food. Coleman's favorite was the Hot Italian Beef sandwiches. So good!
Thanks again Dave, Erin, and RB for an awesome trip. You guys live in an awesome city! We miss you already!

20,000 people ran the race. It was crazy!

Lots to catch up!

It's been awhile since I have updated so i figured I would sit down and get it done. In August we had a Radford family reunion in Shelley, Idaho. Those who know me know that I am not a camper. We got a tent when we got married from Coleman's grandma and this was our first time using it. It was only for one night but one night was all I needed :) We had so much fun with all the Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. Ike loved being surrounded by kids. That same weekend we made it home on time to see the Ricker's. They were in town for the weekend visiting friends. It was good to see little Gwen and the fam. We miss you guys already! My brother Dave came at the beginning of the month with his friend Jonah for a few days. It was fun to see the kids hanging all over their Uncle D.

Last week was our trip to Chicago. I will update more about our trip next.


Pratt, Jay, and Coleman...so bromantic

We got Ike a little outdoor pool to play. He loved every minute of it.

Just some random pics of Ike
He found the costume mask in storage. He thought he was a monster!


His absolute favorite thing to do right now is get into my wallet and organize the cards.
He's picking up some good habits from his mommy.
