London's Run

I dragged my poor husband along with me this morning, and we ran the London's Run in Queen Creek. I love when Mr. Martineau humors me and goes on these little (6.2 miles) runs with me, even though I know he secretly hates it (he'd never admit it). I love him for it!

The Babe Is One!

I can't believe it, but Cade turned one today! Ahhh! Can I still call him my baby? And, does time go by faster after each child, because this year flew?

He was so stinkin' cute! He clapped after each present he got!
Happy Birthday my sweet baby! I love you!

Sweet Noah

Noah is Pace's favorite person in the whole world, (even if he is 6 years older than him) and I overheard the sweetest thing from Noah when Pace had him over for a sleepover the other night and thought I should record it.

Pace has recently been having 'Night Terrors', and this night was no different. He woke up screaming around 2AM; when I made it into his bedroom, Noah was trying to comfort him. He said, "Pace, do you want me to say a prayer with you, and sing 'I Am a Child of God'? That's what always helps me when I have bad dreams." He continued by just saying, "If you cry again, I'll wake up and say a prayer with you and sing 'I Am a Child of God', okay?"

What a sweet sweet spirit my 9 year old nephew has! Love you, Noah!

Big Brother

I had the opportunity to visit with Pace's preschool teacher today at the park. She said, "Beth, I have to tell you about Pace yesterday at school." "We did this activity called, I'm special because..., where we passed around a mirror and the kids had to look in the mirror and tell the other kids why they thought they were special." "Instead of looking in the mirror and saying, I'm special because I have blue eyes or a nice smile etc., Pace said that he was special because he's helping his little brother learn how to walk." "What a sweetheart Pace is, Beth!"

Pace loves being a big brother!
