Birthday Fun

Addie has been counting down to her birthday since January!  Sometime in the summer she requested going to St. George for her birthday instead of having a party.  I was all for it, seemed a whole lot easier, I think she was smarter than she realized, however.  We didn't just celebrate on her birthday, but all weekend long!  Addie is so excited to be 5 and makes sure we all remember how old she is each day.
Addie has wanted to go golfing with Andrew for a while now (I think just to ride in the cart), so he said he would take her this trip.  Well all the golf courses were full or too much money, so we opted to go miniature golfing instead.  Addie even got a hole in one!  We were so glad the Warner girls could join us too, good times :)
We did a little party with Maddie, Mia, Kalea, and Izze.   We had pizza and cupcakes, then headed to Jumping Jacks where the girls bounced to their heart's content! 
On Saturday I ran the Snow Canyon Half Marathon with Laura (it was oh so cold!).  Then Addie ran in the kids' race, she has been dying to run in a race since the summer.  She did so well and is proud to show off her medal!
Addie's actual birthday was on Sunday.  She was so excited to see her presents.  We had to drive home so we had her open a present in each town to make her birthday more exciting.  Addie loved her impromptu doughnut cake when we got home.  She loves being 5 and is already talking about her next birthday!
