March

March was the month of Charlie, most of my pictures are of her so I tried to sneak in a few of Lizzie. We potty trained Charlie, celebrated St Patrick's day and also had a unexpected visitor who Lizzie tried to adopt (Sorry blogger messed up the order of my pictures and I can't get them back).

This little guy was in our garage one Sunday morning, Lizzie wanted to keep him but I just had visions of him getting loose in our house.

Potty training Charlie was a breeze she was done completely in three days, this kid is very candy motivated!

We literally color Easter eggs at least three times before the actual holiday!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

I think this was the last day of rain that we have had.

The butterfly house at the Zoo!

Playing Catch Up: February

I really wasn't going to play catch up, but as I was organizing my pictures I decided that there were some cute ones that I just couldn't forget about. My girls are growing up so fast and I am so worried that I am going to forget something. For Christmas Uncle Wes and Aunt Danae gave us this really cute book and after only a couple times reading it Lizzie had it memorized, here she is reading it. For some reason I forgot to take pictures on Valentines day so this is all I have for February.

Ogden Half Marathon

For those of you who don't know, for the past few months I have been training for my first Half Marathon. Now this is a big deal for me because I was not a runner at all, until about a year ago. I do have to say not all of it was fun, but I am now addicted! I was able to run this beautiful race with my mother and my sister-in-law Katie (btw thanks Katie I stole the pictures from her blog). We had so much fun, the weather couldn't have been better and this honestly was the most beautiful race ever. We took it slow and just enjoyed it, I can't wait to do it again next year and we are planning on adding a few more to our pack (hint, hint, Mary, Danae, Lori). I do want to give a shout out to my other sister-in-law Emily who actually ran her first full marathon in this same race, you are my hero!

She Won!

While in UT we did our big race, I haven't put together my pictures yet so I will post about the Half next time. But Lizzie and Charlie have put in their time training for my race also. A few days before the race Lizzie mentioned that she would like to run in a race sometime also. It just so happened that they have a kids-k that same day. We signed her up and she was so excited, it was cute because they got a shirt and a medal so she thought she won!

I am offically back!

Back to the blogging world that is, I really have lost my motivation to blog lately as you can see. I am trying to get inspired again, we will see how long this lasts! Last month we took a trip home to Utah to see our family, it was a lot of fun but cold!
The first day we got there we had a big party for Papa Wayne's birthday we also had family pictures. We did the individual families first then the group picture and you can certainly tell that it was dinner time! We will just say that it was a memory!





Let me know what you think!

Keeping busy!

The end of December Lizzie had her gymnastics performance, it was really cute they each came out and did something of their choice and then they got a medal. The video was really rough but you get the idea!

Fun with family!

When my family came they were able to stay for a week and a few of the days were rather nice. We were able to visit the riverwalk, the Alamo and the Zoo.

Christmas

This post comes with a warning, there is a lot of pictures so reader beware! This year was our first Christmas spent away from UT, a little sad but my parents came to visit us! Brian was on call on Christmas day so we decided to celebrate Christmas on Monday. Matching Christmas dresses were a requirement this year, aren't they cute?

Opening pajamas Christmas Eve!

Christmas Morning everyone got just what they asked for!
