July here can only be described with one word, HOT! We spend a lot of time at the pool with friends and the rest of the time inside! It's kind of like winter in UT just opposite, if that makes sense. We have awesome friends and the Fourth was super fun even if we didn't have any fireworks this year, due to a severe drought!
Only a father would let this fly, she thought it was great!
We broke down and bought them both bikes so they could get some exercise, I don't think the training wheels will be off anytime soon though!
Playing with friends and having some fun!
April flew by in a flash:
April started with a picnic with friends during Priesthood session, the boys barbeque and enjoy the session so we thought we should have some fun too!
Grammy came in for a quick visit and of course we had to make a trip down to the Zoo!
Also just ask anyone Grammy Loves to color Easter eggs!
Charlie turned 2 on the 23rd, we had a little party with a little food and some presents!
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).
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.
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!
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!
