Kiwanis 5k

I ran my first official 5k last weekend! It was so stinking cold, I thought my fingers had hypothermia, not really but I was cold until about mile one. I enjoyed it immensely and can't wait for the next race. I even came in 31st overall, don't know how many people actually ran it but those are just minor details :) Andrew, Addie, and Izze came to cheer me to the finish line, it was so fun to see them and Addie really wants to run a race now.

Easter Weekend

We had a fun Easter weekend in St. George! After leaving five inches of snow we drove to the land of blue sky and sun. When we reached the exit for St. George, Addie asked "why is the sky blue Mama?" We had fun hanging out with Andrew's family and enjoying the nice weather. Addie had fun playing with her cousins and Izze enjoyed sitting in her stroller.Addie was so excited to see Maddie and go to the Cotton Manor egg hunt. Addie filled her basket to the brim! We are so glad we could go and talk to a lot of our friends that we miss.Addie and Izze loved their Easter baskets. We had a fun Easter and I enjoyed it even more knowing the girls and I were going to stay a few extra days :) We hung out with Laura, Maddie, and Mia for the extra days and had a blast. We went to lunch with friends, played Yahtzee, played outside, ate candy, went on walks, and much more. We were so busy I forgot to take out my camera :( The memories are all in my head though and we can't wait to visit again soon!!!

Eight Months

Izze is growing up right before our eyes! She wants to crawl so bad and gets frustrated because she can't figure out how to; she has the position down but needs to figure out the moving part. Yesterday she started clapping her hands, so fun. Izze loves to talk and wants to be heard usually during the quiet times of church. She lights up when Addie is in the room and loves to play with her. Andrew is already teaching her how to wrestle and she is growing more hair! If anyone is eating then she demands to be fed something, we love our little Izze.

Dress Up

Lately Addie loves to dress up in her princess dress or anything she can find and play in her pretend world. It is so fun to listen to the things she makes up, mostly she reenacts "Dora" or "Super Why", just today she was Diego and when I told her it was time to fix her hair she said, "I don't have hair because I am Diego." She loves to act as though she is the mother and is constantly taking care of Izze, sometimes it is more hurtful than helpful.

Zoo Days

We have made it to the zoo twice so far this year and we love it! Addie and Izze love seeing all the animals, we also enjoy being outside in the sunshine. Addie loved riding the carousel and playing with her friends.

Temple Square

Last week we took a trip on trax to Temple Square for a little outing while my sister and her family were in town. Addie loved running around and had to resist the urge to jump in the fountains or touch the water. We enjoyed the nice weather and also watching all the construction going on across from Temple Square.

Sledding Fun

Since we have moved here we have wanted to go sledding, we finally made it happen. We borrowed some sleds and went up Big Cottonwood Canyon last weekend. Addie absolutely loved it and didn't want to go home. She went down all by herself and even hiked back up the hill several times (usually she complains of her legs hurting if she has to exert herself). Izze even enjoyed sitting in the snow, as we were walking to the hill it was windy and she kept getting the biggest smile on her face. We hope to go again before all the snow melts, I'm pretty sure we'll make it.The weekend before we took a drive to find a sledding spot and Addie was still in her pajamas. I just love these pictures and wanted to remember them.
