Happy Birthday Jeff

Today Jeff turned 31. For his Birthday we all ran a race. Right down the street at the college there was a Race for Humanity. Jeff ran the 10k then ran the 5k with some friends from church. The kids and I walked from our house over to the race and met Jeff and some friends there. We signed Evan up for the mile fun run. He was so excited. I decided to run it with Evan because Jeff had already ran a lot today. I was not ready for that mile at all. I was in jeans and not very good shoes but I thought it would be fun just a walk jog thing. NOPE! Evan took off like a pro. We wanted to win. You can see how determined he was and how silly I was.



Evan Finished in just over 9 minutes. Good for an adult, AWESOME for a four year old!



Well, there's Jeff present: see his wife actually run. But really it was a great morning, to see Evan enjoy running and being healthy. It was a great start to the day.



Happy Birthday to Jeff. He is a great guy that is passionate about being outdoors camping or running and just enjoying life and staying fit. I am so proud of my two boys.



Here is some updated pictures of the kids.

Baby Girl Decker

Our sweet little girl was born January 19th 2010. She was 7lb 5oz and was 20in long. So the name..... we had to pick that in the hospital, we had a hard time with this one.



KYLIE KRISTINE DECKER



We are so happy to complete our family with her. The kids already love her and we are all doing great now that we are home.

Birthday and Halloween

It has been a long time and a lot of things have happened this summer and fall, BUT lets just start with what we have been up to the last couple of weeks.

October is pretty busy for us. My Birthday was on the 17th and I got to attend Time Out for Women. I loved it. Then we had Evan's Birthday. And last week Halloween. I know I just want to see the pictures so here we go.

Update - May

I have been told that you can tell when someone is pregnant when there blog goes untouched forever. That's right.... we are three month into making baby #3. I have been super sick and hate being pregnant. However we still have tried to have fun this summer. I will try and give you guys an update!

May: We went to the beach with Jon and Carly.







May: We went up to the mountains for a family hike.







So that's a little of what we did in May. I will try and post June soon!

JEFF'S an OLD MAN

Jeff turned 30 on April 24th. We had a fun surprise for him on his Birthday. Some of are wonderful friends all got together and all dressed up as old people. Jeff knew that we were going to the Harrington's for what he thought was a small get together. When we got there and everyone was dressed up, his first words were, "Oh fun..... I want to dress up too." Luckily he has a wife that had cloths for him to change into.



We then all went to Denny's (because that's were old people go right), we had planed on going to play Bingo but they closed to early. After dinner we went back to the Harrington's and the Grandma's in the house rocked it out. We all practiced this hip hop dance for Jeff. We had it on tape but I erased it before we could even see it. SAD. Jeff got lots of fun presents, all things for a Grandpa.



It was a lot of fun. We have great friends. Happy 30th Jeff!

Climbing Mt. Whitney in the Snow!!

This last weekend, Jeff and his friends used every bit of energy to scale Mt. Whitney. (the highest peak in N. America - 14,505 ft. 22 miles round trip) They hadn't counted on there being so much snow. They woke up at 3AM and hiked for a total of 15 hours!! Jeff said that this was the hardest thing he has ever done physically. (and he's run two marathons!)



Although he was exhausted, and came home with 2 blisters, a gash in his leg from the crampons they wore, and a sunburn under his nose from the reflected sun, Jeff said that he really had a good day and learned a few things about himself up there... but, he said "I don't ever plan on doing that again!"

Easter Sunday

Easter was really busy because of Youth Conference. We were so tired! Saturday night was the big dance. So we stayed out late dancing like we were teenagers still. It was a lot of fun. So on Sunday we had church and I had Sharing Time. Then we did not even go home after church. We went out to Newport Beach for a baptism. Then rushed back home for the Testimony Meeting. It was a really long day! We didn't even get to eat anywhere in there. So on Tuesday we had an after Easter dinner with the Harrington's. What a day. Somewhere in there though we did have the spirit of Easter. The knowledge that it is not about candy and a bunny, it is about Christ and that we can be together forever because of it.

Youth Conference 09

We love the youth in the church! This was our 5th time being parents for Youth Conference and each year has been different and we have loved every year! This year we had ten girls in our Decker Fam. We loved all these girls and had so much fun!

March and April

We have been so busy this last couple months! We have been camping, lots of family time, youth conference, and Easter..... and everything that comes with having two kids. Here is some fun pictures!

Sadie Turned One

Happy Birthday to our sweet little Sadie. I can not believe she is one. We had a little party for her. Her two aunts were here, Julie and Diane. So we had a dance party with the wiggles. We projected the movie so that the Wiggles were life size and danced around and opened persents and had cake. It was a fun day for her.



She is the sweetest little thing. She put up with so much from Evan. She is one tough cookie. She is so pretty but she is going to be a tom boy playing with her brother. I love her so much. She is so happy. Jeff said the other day that the way she looks and acts sometimes makes him think that she really dose love being here on earth and with our family. I am so glad that we have Sadie in our family. Can not imagen our family without her sweet smile.
