Thanksgiving Point

My friend Jen and I ran the Thanksgiving Point Half Marathon in the snow!  When we signed up in January we thought for sure the end of April would mean springish weather and at least dry ground, boy were we wrong.   I don't have any pictures before the race and most of the snow melted by the time we were finished.  It was super chilly, but I'm glad I did it and glad to be done :)

Spring Break & Easter

Last week Addie only had preschool on Tuesday, so we took advantage of the extra days and headed south to find the sun.  We found it sure enough and enjoyed six whole days of warmth before heading back to the frozen tundra.  We had so much fun seeing our friends and hanging out with family too.  Addie was super excited to see Maddie and play with her lots.  We kept busy and the days flew by, a bit too fast in my opinion.
We had fun going to splash park with some friends and playing in the water.
Izze loved the freedom of running in the water and away from me!
Four-wheeling at Addie's cousins' house, good times.
Izze thought she was so cool!
A chilly morning right before the Easter Egg Hunt.
Izze was too concerned with the candy to ever look at the camera and smile.  I think she ate all her candy before we left.
Another Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Coloring eggs
Easter morning, Addie loved hunting for her basket and was so excited to get a Barbie, lip stuff, and nail polish.
Izze didn't care about her stacking blocks, only the candy and Addie's Barbie.
All dressed up!
I can't believe how grown up Addie is getting, ahhh!

Goblin Valley

We were lucky enough to go camping last weekend with some good friends and the weather was perfect!  The girls absolutely loved running around and playing in the dirt and rocks.  Goblin Valley is very kid-friendly in my opinion which made the trip so enjoyable.  We wandered around the goblin rocks, went on a hike, sat around the campfire, ate yummy food, and basked in the sun.  It was a fun weekend, so glad we could escape for a few days!
Izze loved climbing on all the rocks, she wanted to be just like the big kids.
Addie's new favorite pose
A rare smile for the camera

The girls loved playing in the rocks
Addie was so tuckered out on the hike, this was only halfway back, there was no chance for a smile.
At the campsite, the girls loved sitting under the rocks.
Playing with water
Playing with dirt, oh there was dirt everywhere on this trip!
Family picture-Izze did not want to be held, she wanted to be on the move.

Dry Spell

No I am not talking about the weather, sure wish I was!  I have nothing to post about we haven't been doing anything, at least to take pictures of to share.  The weather teased us with a few nice days, but now the snow is back and it feels like January again, talk about depressing.  Oh well, I did find a few pictures that make me laugh of Addie and Izze.  Maybe we'll have more to post about another day :)
