Mohawks and Giggles!

The other day at Oma and Papa's house we got a little bored, and wanted all the girls to have mohawks. I know.... but aren't they the cutest mohawks you have ever seen? Lizzie hasn't been in the mood to pose lately, but she has a killer mohawk.

I just need one!

My SUPER CUTE girls!

Oh how I love this little girl.
These girls just bring a smile to my face. I love that they are so close in age and of course will be the bestest of friends. Thanks Marla for giving Krislynn the coolest best friend a girl could ever ask for. I love Camille in this picture... her mohawk is sick!

Thanks girls for all the giggles and being such good sports! We love you!

Enrichment Night-Rebekah

For our Enrichment in March a couple ladies in our ward were asked to portray different women from the Bible, and I was Rebekah. Don't you just love my outfit... I didn't have to pay a penny for it thanks to the young women in our ward. It was an amazing night where our hearts could be touched while helping us become better sisters of Zion.

We got to celebrate one more time before our pass expired to Disneyland, and we had a great time! The weather was perfect, the crowds weren't too bad, and Lizzie and Krislynn FINALLY got to ride Dumbo the Flying Elephant. What more could you ask for right? We are sad that our pass expired, but at least we had a great year at Disneyland. Thanks Mickey!!!

Petting the goat

Learning Adventures went on a field trip to The Wild Animal Park and had a great time. Lizzie and Krislynn loved all the animals while they explored with all their friends. Lizzie loved the lion and wanted to pet it, but I think we will save that adventure for another day. Krislynn loved the baby elephant.

Happy Easter

We had a fantastic Easter. We got to watch General Conference from the comforts of our home, and then go over to Oma and Papa's to meet some of David's cousins that came down from Utah. Lizzie and Krislynn had a great time meeting more of their cousins while playing outside and enjoying the beautiful weather.

AMY & ME!

Well my great friend Amy and her beautiful girls (minus her husband Jason) came to visit us, and oh did we have a great time! 5 girls under the age of 5 under one roof couldn't equal more fun. David needed some man time due to the 7 girls in his house, and he thought only 3 was bad. :) This is how lame I am and I only got one picture, but at least it is of us! We went to the library for story time and a craft, then to McDonald's for lunch and energy release, then David whom I love so much watched all the girls and Amy and I got to go out for a Girl's Night HOORAY!!! Amy took some family pictures of us, and then they were back on the road again. A short visit, but so much much!!!

Thanks again Amy for such a fun and eventful visit!

FHE Eggtastic

We had a great time dyeing eggs this year. Lizzie loved sticking her hands in the different colors and watching the eggs and her hands turn the colors of the rainbow. Krislynn just loved spending time with her daddy. Lizzie is excited to make some deviled eggs with all the pretty eggs in the fridge.

Lizzie and the Dora Kite

Lizzie and a couple of her friends got kites, and Lizzie was dying to use hers. So we went to the park and flew her kite. She loved riding on her Daddy's shoulders and running all over the park to help her kite stay high in the air, but then she wanted to try it herself. She did a great job, but now Dora has a couple holes in her.

$1.00 Dora Kite=A happy joyful Lizzie

Lizzie and the Blue Gluestick

The scouting den mother asked if I would make a cake for the Blue and Gold Banquet. She wanted blue and gold frosting. I decided that would be gross to eat, so I used blue frosting and blue and yellow(gold) M&M's to decorate it. Lizzie watched me make the entire thing, and I told her NOT to touch it! Then I called Jet Blue to deal with some issues with a flight we are going on in a couple months (2 Hour wait) I go into our office to look at some paperwork and Lizzie continues to watch the Wonder Pets... a couple minutes later Lizzie checks on me, and shuts the office door (strange, but I don't take a double thought about it) Then Krislynn starts to scream. I go into her room, and get her and take her into the kitchen (still on the phone with Jet Blue) Lizzie is looking out the window (I'm thinking someone is at our door... look out the peak hole... no one is there) then I said Hi to Lizzie, and she turned around and this is what I saw...


(immediately thinking she touched the cake I run into the kitchen, and feel my heart drop to the floor since the scout den mother will be here in less than 10 mins.) The cake is untouched HOORAY! but what is all over Lizzie's face? Then I start walking back into the living room and I see this...Blue is all over my wall, window sill, blinds, window, and then there is something grey on the wall too. What can it be? Not frosting... hmmmm. Then I move the blanket... and there it is!

Lizzie drew on the wall and her face with blue glue stick! I'm trying not to scream at her (still on the phone with Jet blue) and the kind man asks me if I'm all right, I explained what happened, he laughs and tells me he will put me on hold so I can clean up the mess!

OHHHH LIZZIE!

My goals for 2010

So this year I made some BIG goals. Usually I slack off and never really get past January. This year has been different! I needed something to take my mind off the horrible issues of 2009, and do something to help me to heal.

Well my goals are:

#1: No more soda

#2 Run the Disney half marathon

So the past 8 weeks Andrea, Jenny, and I started our training to get us ready for September (The Disney Half Marathon) I never realized that I could be so dedicated to something I haven't really done since College. But, I run/walk 4 miles 6 days a week and take Sunday off for my body to rest. It has been an amazing experience and I crave my morning workout. Pushing a 60+ pound double jogger and running is tough work, but each day I get out there and push myself a little more. It is amazing the road blocks you can put up for yourself. I NEVER thought I could be a runner, but I love it! I have major knee issues, but since I have started my training my knee has done great.

I have found more friends in our ward that love running too, and our conversions keep coming back to it, how running is so addicting.

Well in the past 8 weeks I have made some MAJOR SIDE GOALS to add:

#2a. Run the Del Mar 10K in preparation for Half Marathon. May will be my half way mark to the half marathon and what not a better way to prepare right?

#2b. Do the Riverside Tin Man Triathlon (75 meter swim, 5K run, and a 10 mile bike ride)

So there you go Blogging World...My new additions to my year! I will keep you update on my progress, and the joy in the journey. As of right now pushing a jogger: I'm at 11:30 min mile. My goal is to get to a 10 min mile.

P.s. My most fablous news is that since Krislynn was born I have lost 53 pounds! PARTY!!!
