I can post cute pictures and explain why they are so cute, keep in touch with family and friends, and keep memories fresh as I read back in time. I hear you can also print it all out and keep it as a scrapbook. I'm all for it!ssthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11084451280173513287noreply@blogger.comBlogger93125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2491770990769370379.post-54092694580327090312012-06-29T11:13:00.010-04:002012-07-21T15:01:03.085-04:00Spring/Summer timeLucy, Norah, and I took Kate to get her ears pierced on friday May 18th at Tuttle mall. We went to Claire's and Lucy picked out these cute little round diamond earrings for her. She did great, cried for a minute or two and then it was done. They look so cute!! Sometimes I get a hard time about piercing ears so early but I have done all of my girls at 3 months and they have all done awesome. If you wait too long they pick and pull at them and if you wait until they are older most of the time it ends up being a traumatic experience. I figure too, if they get older and don't want earrings in, then they can take them out and let the holes grow in, although, what little girl doesn't want their ears pierced. I have no regrets and think they are darling!<div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdwLLgAa9TbvtMPvGVb-5toMV3oTJndI6qlRbi9EOZyZcbljaxjzSbFGjzJYLXZ_D96xP49xcIdfTJcVVjS1Fq2SQhyphenhyphenrjVVF12fqKSxe4I9h7z-SCavRGdtEwT_8USzJXoEZmUyqUlnRCf/s1600/IMG_0473.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdwLLgAa9TbvtMPvGVb-5toMV3oTJndI6qlRbi9EOZyZcbljaxjzSbFGjzJYLXZ_D96xP49xcIdfTJcVVjS1Fq2SQhyphenhyphenrjVVF12fqKSxe4I9h7z-SCavRGdtEwT_8USzJXoEZmUyqUlnRCf/s320/IMG_0473.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5759486052682412546" /></a> Upper Arlington Spring Party at Sunny 95 park.

It is so nice to have each other to go get drinks, go on walks, go to the store, watch Ellen, play outside with the kids etc sometimes I get a little bored doing things on my own even though my kids are there. It is nice to have a little adult conversation and company sometimes. I miss that about being closer to home. I have lots of friends out here but it's not the same as having family. I'm so glad they were able to come, we had such a fun time. </div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit62sZH9uzGz4vVOFDW10pUfNp-62nZY32RQobjCeAp65bi-7FxNkO-TJeJavioCGIl2X5JiiV8gwYSflND3hyphenhyphenPfT69wRB345jsjgEN3dm8aTs3MTWuMLWX80Tq_G1lnx4Z0cyB909z24c/s1600/IMG_0731.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit62sZH9uzGz4vVOFDW10pUfNp-62nZY32RQobjCeAp65bi-7FxNkO-TJeJavioCGIl2X5JiiV8gwYSflND3hyphenhyphenPfT69wRB345jsjgEN3dm8aTs3MTWuMLWX80Tq_G1lnx4Z0cyB909z24c/s320/IMG_0731.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5759482351444261042" /></a><br /></div><div>Either Landon was really happy or really sad to go home because he got A LOT of attention especially from Norah.

Little Kate Victoria was born at 9:58 am at Ohio State University Medical Center. She was 7 lbs 1 ounce and was 19 1/2 inches long. She had lots of blonde curly hair, big blue eyes, and a dimple on her right cheek. There is nothing better in the whole world than seeing your baby and holding her for the first time. It is always such a relief for me to know that she is healthy and strong. </div>

I had a repeat c-section which was actually kind of nice. It is nice to have it scheduled and then to go in, have a spinal, no pain, and over in 10 minutes. Still never felt contractions but I'm not complaining although that doesn't mean my pregnancy was pain and anxiety free. I'm glad it's over but would do it again if it meant i could have a new sweet baby in my arms.</div>

Dad and Kate.. I think it is so sweet to see dads with their daughters and he has 3! What a good sport he is! I wish I could figure out how to post the video but he guessed her weight right on and then decided that she looked like a Kate instead of a chicken nugget. I had multiple names that I liked but Dave always said Kate was his favorite so that is what we went with. I really liked the name Kate too. Dave's middle name is Victor and since he may never have a boy we decided that Victoria was kind of a cute middle name in honor of dad. </div>

I loved having Dave and the kids come to visit, we also had so many good friends come to visit as well. I wish I would have been better about getting pictures of everyone that came. I sure missed not having family close to come and visit and see Kate but it all turned out just fine. I am so grateful for so many friends that helped with the girls during the day Kate was born as well as while I was in the hospital so that Dave could come alone and spend some time with me and the new baby.</div>

Lucy is such a good big sister and really is so helpful. Norah can also be helpful when she wants to be and sometimes she really isn't helpful at all. I had a cute picture of Norah and Kate but somehow it got deleted :(</div>

I am so grateful that Dave had 2 full weeks off so that he could be home with me. He was amazing! He took care of every thing while i rested with Kate. I think i healed much faster this time around because I could rest and not worry about anything.</div>

Priceless.. perfect picture of why I say Norah loves her too much. I've had to start hiding Kate and not telling Norah where she is, especially when I am in the shower or busy trying to get something done because she always wakes her up or bugs her until she is screaming!</div>

My mom came out to visit and of course we had to go to Chuck E Cheese. I love and miss her so much! I wish she could come out and stay with us until we can move back closer. She is so helpful and does so many things for us when she comes like make jam, make a mix chicken, catches me up on my laundry, helps with the kids, sews and set up my sewing machine for me and got all of the supplies, cooks, and cleans. My mom is the best! I love having her here for sonic runs too, always need a mid day coke and it is so much more fun to have someone to go with.</div>

One of my favorite pictures of Kate. Every time I would put her in the tub she would cuddle up and go right to sleep. It was the cutest thing in the whole world. She is such a good little baby. Hmmm womb memories, I guess.</div>

Another classic Kate face, I just love her big eyes and little button nose. I think she looks a lot like Lucy as a baby. She has her mouth and little nose but has Norah's big eyes. I am so excited to see her grow.</div>

Well... Dave used to be smashed in our bed with 2 girls, now he is smashed in our bed with 3!

Kate had been smiling a little here and there during the 6th week of life, she was 6 weeks on a friday and early sunday morning before church she gave us her first big grins. She was so happy! It totally melts my heart when my babies really smile at me for the first time. I love when they start to talk to me, make noises and sounds, and smile. It is so fun!!</div>

My friend Rachel took these last couple of pictures for me for Kate's announcement. I cant believe how much she has already changed. She is such a sweet little baby and is so good. We love her very much and are so grateful that she was sent to our little family. We love you baby Kate!<br />

I'll admit I'm just not made to blog but it is fun to look back and see how much the kids change etc and what we were up to during that time in our life.</div><div><br /></div><div>The kids have been taking gymnastics at Wendy's and they absolutely love it! They have class on tuesdays and then open gym on fridays, which is a lifesaver for me especially since the weather is so cold. This is Norah's first time being in a class and she thinks she is so big! They love warming up to the Fresh Beat Band "Here we go" and The Happy Feet song "Hit Me Up" they love jumping into the foam pit from the trampoline. They are both so excited when it's time for gymnastics.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh23aXF2v5pM-paaAWkvRHMDUAmTF7-0ddteHpVHQHfEMoWlip_IANrVKEoewR2UFQA4DMitUyI2COrYSfwSjqdrVbC82lsP4SZd5epOX4HnJYwoUYq7rYd4Hq_e0Cw1tl206NlPxbx2-NB/s1600/IMG_7334.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh23aXF2v5pM-paaAWkvRHMDUAmTF7-0ddteHpVHQHfEMoWlip_IANrVKEoewR2UFQA4DMitUyI2COrYSfwSjqdrVbC82lsP4SZd5epOX4HnJYwoUYq7rYd4Hq_e0Cw1tl206NlPxbx2-NB/s320/IMG_7334.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703559462205944658" /></a>Daddy took Lucy to one of the OSU games, it was funny listening to him try and pump her up for the game.

Where did the time go? She seems to really like it so far. She gets on the bus happy and gets off of the bus happy so I assume she has a fun time while she is away. I have a hard time getting any information from her about her day, it seems like she will tell us about her day on her own terms. It is so cute to hear her talk about the different games and things they play and do. Her teacher has been sending out emails here and there telling us about what they are doing.. they have A (music day), B (computer lab), C (Art), D (gym), and E (library), so it switches off each day.<div><br /></div><div>This is Lucy after she got all of her shots.. she was so brave! She cried a little after it was all said and done but then Dr. Messick brought suckers in and she was fine. At her 5 year old appointment (8/15) she was 42.5 lbs and 43 inches tall. He said her weight is perfect and that she is a little tall for her age. I can't get over her cute dimples!<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyeRV8coWxEwrzI65lfVIWslj0VgW8hIL7aNK0IBEZvR484EJ1sNBYDIe2Hs_pIrx70B7SqQmmQ30We1dwRcwn66YnpRfvm4PO9HHtrivE9pB0h6NNOB4AkJKcOl37fxwxrXYdrt19_LFm/s1600/photo.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyeRV8coWxEwrzI65lfVIWslj0VgW8hIL7aNK0IBEZvR484EJ1sNBYDIe2Hs_pIrx70B7SqQmmQ30We1dwRcwn66YnpRfvm4PO9HHtrivE9pB0h6NNOB4AkJKcOl37fxwxrXYdrt19_LFm/s320/photo.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647988640265896274" /></a><br /></div><div>Norah taking her turn getting pictures in front of the school.

<br /></div><div>We went to Empire beach the first day after hiking Pyramid Point and then to Bryant beach the day before we left. The beaches were so pretty. I guess I just always assumed only the ocean had cool beaches but Lake Michigan sure has some nice places to play in the sand and swim. The water was a little chilly but the kids didn't care. Dave even got in one day. I sat on the beach and read magazines... well atleast I tried in between making sandcastles and taking pictures. We also went to Glean Arbor the first day and had lunch at this place called Boondocks. I have to remember this because we have to eat there if we ever go back to Michigan. It was soooo good!</div><div>

<br /></div><div>Lucy was in safety town for 2 weeks in July (afternoon session) which was a great thing to keep her busy. It makes me really excited for her to go to kindergarten. As much as I love her, afternoons are hard because she is sooooo bored and Norah still naps so once she is in school it will be a great time for me to have some time to get things done that I need to do.. safety town was a great teaser for me cause I got a taste of what it will be like. Can't wait! Norah had to get into the safety town action the day of graduation.</div><div>

<br /></div><div>Lucy with her graduation badge.. they learned about bike safety, stranger awareness, water safety, fire safety, seatbelt safety (yes, I get in trouble every time we get into the car and I don't have my seat belt on :)), police day, animal safety, bus day, and other stuff I can't remember but you get the idea, they sang lots of cute songs, they had to take a helmet everyday so they could ride tricycles around their own streets with real traffic lights (kid ones) etc it was really cute how they would teach them about different aspects of safety. She loved it!!</div><div>

We had a really fun birthday party for her with lots of her friends from preschool, neighbors, and friends that we hang out with. We had everyone come in their swimsuits and got the pool with slide out, slip n' slide, sprinklers under the trampoline, and other water toys. We had hotdogs and chips (Lucy's favorite), cupcake ice cream cones, and popsicles. That is what she wanted!! <div>
<br /></div><div>Dad got out the sidewalk chalk and left a little message for Lucy.</div><div>

Gross! Haha but she loves it and was really excited that we all went together as a family to eat on her birthday. Then we went to Greaters for icecream. Fun birthday night with the family.</div><div>

<br /></div><div>Then... her birthday present. A new bike, which she really needed. She grew out of her little kid tricycle last year so we figured it was time to upgrade. She loves it and is still getting used to the training wheels but I don't think it will be long before the training wheels come off. She was so cute when we showed her the bike, biggest smile on her face. She is so darn cute!</div><div>

<br /></div><div>The Moss family (Dave's sister) came at the end of June and were here for 5 days.. we went to King's Island, the zoo, and Amish country and spent the night in a fun little cabin. We played at the parks, caught lots of fireflies, talked a lot, and ate lots of good food. We had so much fun and the kids especially loved being able to play together. The day they left Lucy asked when they were coming back so hopefully they will someday. </div><div>

This little bug of mine is a very happy, friendly, obedient, content little girl and I'm not sure if she will ever be a terrible 2!! She can definitely hold her own though, no one messes with Norah.

She isn't a picky eater like Lucy is. She will actually eat meat and will sit down and eat when she is hungry. Some other things she loves are chicken nuggets and fries, hot dogs, quesadillas, any fruit, chocolate (caukre) milk, plain milk, goose (juice), chips, crackers, cheese, and fruit snacks. She asks for 'treats' or 'snacks' all day long.. probably because that is what Lucy does. One of her favorite games to play is snack bar.. where she asks you what you would like and then says okay and then pretends to get it for you.. she also loves hide and seek and can count to 12 all by herself! Smart little girl! She loves the bubble machine, trampoline, swing set, and baby pool that we sometimes fill with water out back.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9JU2im-z8cSdZ-FSjQ3cB73ehQeAF6UoixqhyphenhyphenrUyBWwa7n8F9SkWCXJp7Cg9bfnMnCkE9f_NqBRQi0oaLjhUqQ1es2kaChOYCbvOYNVO5Wtos1Gs0UN_7iPmc8CaDrX-pEyOCtKtA6iYG/s1600/IMG_2793.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9JU2im-z8cSdZ-FSjQ3cB73ehQeAF6UoixqhyphenhyphenrUyBWwa7n8F9SkWCXJp7Cg9bfnMnCkE9f_NqBRQi0oaLjhUqQ1es2kaChOYCbvOYNVO5Wtos1Gs0UN_7iPmc8CaDrX-pEyOCtKtA6iYG/s320/IMG_2793.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619031247090834114" /></a><br /></div><div>We were outside playing and Norah disappeared inside and came out with an armful of stuffed animals.. she kept getting frustrated that she kept dropping them.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6VRukcS1l4-h915k5FIXKSNQ5jEMOTqy0NB4yNDIBoKebNLtCD-XaKYhHEGAYCpqfaiB0pD4UVvScrbczUmpErUGUEt13APA_csdyZe8MV6VIiT6Dex4AvJ3UBoCJewE5EGGyj0UznV97/s1600/IMG_2807.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6VRukcS1l4-h915k5FIXKSNQ5jEMOTqy0NB4yNDIBoKebNLtCD-XaKYhHEGAYCpqfaiB0pD4UVvScrbczUmpErUGUEt13APA_csdyZe8MV6VIiT6Dex4AvJ3UBoCJewE5EGGyj0UznV97/s320/IMG_2807.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619030543003131954" /></a><br /></div><div>This is the day Norah got her ear tubes in.. playing with the toys in the waiting room before surgery.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXyOITtPxAjUXRNa-FPolG_hnwpxuvFPcVZpTIyFi8sT-CztFIZB421_UpsnnKiP2Tc2FjJ9Z6LhQsaRoTov_ebmKHIdl3qGaYrwYaR6goL7bngdEWEdyKJkFODq9zQdte3l0lzwzh0KOS/s1600/IMG_2824.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXyOITtPxAjUXRNa-FPolG_hnwpxuvFPcVZpTIyFi8sT-CztFIZB421_UpsnnKiP2Tc2FjJ9Z6LhQsaRoTov_ebmKHIdl3qGaYrwYaR6goL7bngdEWEdyKJkFODq9zQdte3l0lzwzh0KOS/s320/IMG_2824.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619030536114961874" /></a><br /></div><div>I LOVE this picture!

He said she would immediately start feeling better and he was right. </div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDu7Je9SuPgVHCL55CHIKWRR68ZCMbuERv54XL5gSE6LNrrRgtNePxJQTGLxKo0SboV_W7ZEDTxET_tK4-_YlArh2hsDwz2jq1ia1C_Modoibb_tPPL4ulTfJYlL1Sijgsla_xOhf1Skkr/s1600/IMG_2843.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDu7Je9SuPgVHCL55CHIKWRR68ZCMbuERv54XL5gSE6LNrrRgtNePxJQTGLxKo0SboV_W7ZEDTxET_tK4-_YlArh2hsDwz2jq1ia1C_Modoibb_tPPL4ulTfJYlL1Sijgsla_xOhf1Skkr/s320/IMG_2843.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619030513606682578" /></a>Some other things about Norah..</div></div><div>She is a very cuddly little girl. Always giving hugs and kisses to to us and other little kids she sees.</div><div>She loves babies and any other kids, gets so excited when kids come over to play. </div><div>Ever since she turned 2 (in april) she refuses to sleep in her crib, she wants to sleep on my bed or her bed (Lucy's bed) I guess I can't complain.</div><div>She loves to put on her tutu and watch/dance to princess movies (12 Dancing Princesses), also loves Nick jr and Disney. Mainly asks for Dora or Bubble Guppies.</div><div>She loves the kids club at the gym and loves when Mary (the worker) draws happy faces and hands with her.</div><div>She loves to color especially with Lucy!</div><div>She loves to sing and eventhough you can't really understand the words she can actually carry a tune so I know which words to help her sing. Loves to sing Happy Birthday to herself and then blow out the candle after, Old Macdonald, Popcorn popping, I'm so glad when daddy comes home, ABC's, wheels on the bus, Head, shoulders, knees, and toes, Twinkle, twinkle, little star, and Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.</div><div>She loves to play games on my phone especially the one with the shapes, she is amazing at it.</div><div>She loves when I lay by her at night and sing to her while I tickle her back, arms, legs, etc.</div><div>Some of her favorite words are not yet, watch, no play, no church, no bed, or no whatever word she chooses after, help, car, shoes, drink, hungry, play, jump, Lucy (two-cy) mom, dad, Jenny, Bee, and Dug, jump, potty, diaper, phone, and movie are some of her regulars.</div><div>She gets her own diaper when she needs to be changed, hopefully that means she will be easy to potty-train.</div><div>Norah is a great secret teller.. mainly jibber jabber in one ear then turns your head to tell you another one in the other ear, we play this back and forth for a long time and she loves it. I can't help but laugh with the stuff she tries to say.</div><div>She is very good about telling me what she wants.. she will take my hand and take me where she wants to go or tell me which cupboard she wants opened etc. Lucy got locked out of the house yesterday and she came and got me, kept saying Lucy, and took me to the door where Lucy was crying outside. Pretty impressive for a newly 2 year old.</div><div>She loves baby dolls and will play with little toys forever, which is great!</div><div>She is my early bird (UGH!) but always takes a good nap, I'm crossing my fingers that lasts through next year while Lucy is at school.</div><div>I love my funny little Norah! She is such a sweetheart! I love you!</div>ssthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11084451280173513287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2491770990769370379.post-79815632480357606912011-06-13T14:29:00.001-04:002011-06-15T22:29:08.983-04:00Lucy BeeOh Lucy, where do I begin.. here are lots of cute pictures of her and some updates on things she has been doing lately.<div><br /></div><div>Lucy loves anything with sugar.. one of her favorites.. fruit loops. She loves cereal especially when it's time to go to bed, a staller if you ask me. She hates going to bed but loves sleeping in. That's my girl! She claims that her favorite food is chocolate chip cookies especially the cookie dough. She also loves chicken nuggets and corn, nachos, quesadillas, watermelon, french fries, grilled cheeses, uncrustable PB&J's, mac and cheese, chocolate milk, white milk, really any juices or soda, popsicles, popcorn, chips and dip, "paper" cheese, hotdogs (with ketchup and a toothpick), frozen waffles, rice, and hot cereal.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_66GoqX9O5wAUz3G_G__BB2H6hEG7R5hfKMADM5UjpI1upi43qhhMGOS9hG70tvMhI3o_GSzEH_mfVhvJN5NwG4qido0-qeiEPjQTrpFibWLJsbNeGzkFLFKaHpDMdMMsqC_a8j0PxrNK/s1600/IMG_2787.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_66GoqX9O5wAUz3G_G__BB2H6hEG7R5hfKMADM5UjpI1upi43qhhMGOS9hG70tvMhI3o_GSzEH_mfVhvJN5NwG4qido0-qeiEPjQTrpFibWLJsbNeGzkFLFKaHpDMdMMsqC_a8j0PxrNK/s320/IMG_2787.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617774790530861378" /></a><br /></div><div>Lucy finished the soccer season up a couple of weeks ago.. not sure how many games they won. She was one of the youngest on the team and pretty much just chased the ball. Without fail had to go potty once during the game and after half time would rather have played on the playground so it looks like we will hold off until she is a little older to try that again but she did have some friends on the team so that was fun for her. She is going to be in swim lessons most of the summer and really wants to take gymnastics again so were looking into that after she finishes safety town in July.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIj8Kz6WpPMFIPl7KNB3qrnrXVQR7JOASv6OLdun3I0jig-59ww2YJJp9yqja3iUEemCnWtpztWGcscIEWlx1zdkPjnG-2M2Ys3AP78WA5yIpDgHktNsBBegmmpgW_5RFd8hTgh96sdXs/s1600/IMG_2733.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIj8Kz6WpPMFIPl7KNB3qrnrXVQR7JOASv6OLdun3I0jig-59ww2YJJp9yqja3iUEemCnWtpztWGcscIEWlx1zdkPjnG-2M2Ys3AP78WA5yIpDgHktNsBBegmmpgW_5RFd8hTgh96sdXs/s320/IMG_2733.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617774781514669618" /></a><br /></div><div>Classic Lucy idea! She will be 5 in July and is so excited to go to Kindergarten. She will be going to Windermere Elementary (afternoon) which is about 5 minutes away but since it crosses a major street that she can't walk across so they will bus her!! Wahoo for me!! She is pumped about riding the school bus and freaks out every time she sees one drive by our house. Apparently they will pick her up right at our corner so it will be perfect. I can only imagine the things I will get done while Norah naps and Lucy is at school or the nice quite nap I'll take with Norah. She loves school and can hardly wait for the fall. BTW, these are Dave's gym shorts. She really wanted Dave to take this picture and send it to her Aunt Jenny. So random.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqmg_ejv-BEZC_9NlvSLJSvvrd0KAcmQa_Ta1guxRfWvzkh_A-ortQpecEI8kPNx4g_a9bylqS7xGP_Oe66FeAHljkBUDdxbEKBiv6Go28D_cuU7f8dxMcrJuDU2xBrkx3LplySyoFrvQB/s1600/IMG_1321.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqmg_ejv-BEZC_9NlvSLJSvvrd0KAcmQa_Ta1guxRfWvzkh_A-ortQpecEI8kPNx4g_a9bylqS7xGP_Oe66FeAHljkBUDdxbEKBiv6Go28D_cuU7f8dxMcrJuDU2xBrkx3LplySyoFrvQB/s320/IMG_1321.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617774507432571858" /></a><br /></div><div>I think Lucy got dads running genes. She is a fast little runner. Our ward had a breakfast at the park for Memorial Day and they had a fun run for the primary which the kids loved! They had one for the 5 years and under kids and she beat everyone by a long shot. They also had one for the older kids and she kept up pretty well. They got these sweet medals after and Lucy thought it was really funny that she kept drinking her orange juice while I was trying my hardest to get both kids to smile, little stinker!</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivhSCLHpJFpMIAnl5UtWXijDqqPvdEm0_zMmc7aZbAFkwe7nos5ZlNAXU_i_7a_UlPwCsSMf8rGB_EulVGUlf_1R7SRVAHWtAYuWw7VuZAtDZqP_WhG5D-HNJKKFjiSFwmHqi65kWd30ap/s1600/IMG_2770.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivhSCLHpJFpMIAnl5UtWXijDqqPvdEm0_zMmc7aZbAFkwe7nos5ZlNAXU_i_7a_UlPwCsSMf8rGB_EulVGUlf_1R7SRVAHWtAYuWw7VuZAtDZqP_WhG5D-HNJKKFjiSFwmHqi65kWd30ap/s320/IMG_2770.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617774498864509106" /></a><br /></div><div>I told Lucy she could get a treat at the store if she was good at the Eagle's Nest (it is a little play place at the grocery store where you can drop your kids off while you shop.. genius if you ask me.

Her favorite things to do outside include hide and sink (seek), tag, poison and dead man on the trampoline, playing with her new little friends across the fence, Bella and Joey, running through the sprinklers with Brent, Adam, and Claire, sliding down the slide into this little pool that our neighbors gave to us, hopscotch and sidewalk chalk, and really anything else outside. We have a swim pass and so I imagine we will spend plenty of time there as well.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil82PMDO9baN2PJZS4nM0qG4F8Dou_7Wchf8mkYF7QgC_hFrbLad4CmYTquPL5f9DNXmo5hY0-5Dq02UbpEJj_NnSEyX2RlPYsix9akgjy-9G4YHmlJXKI-cw5SithnbWTtRp4zKW2IXYl/s1600/IMG_1300.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil82PMDO9baN2PJZS4nM0qG4F8Dou_7Wchf8mkYF7QgC_hFrbLad4CmYTquPL5f9DNXmo5hY0-5Dq02UbpEJj_NnSEyX2RlPYsix9akgjy-9G4YHmlJXKI-cw5SithnbWTtRp4zKW2IXYl/s320/IMG_1300.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617773885449625810" /></a><br /></div><div>I made brownies one Sunday evening and she helped me cut them.. wow haha thanks Luce, pretty mangled if you ask me :) but love the help!

She always has a story for me and the day would not be complete without a stack of computer paper with love notes written all over them. She always makes one for me, dad, and Norah. Her favorite words to write are mom, dad, Norah, Lucy, boo, oh no, cat, dog, i love you, usa and she is learning more everyday. She loves to color, play with play dough, paint, and read books especially at night with dad after mom goes to work. We go to the library quite a bit for new books and movies. We signed her up for the Upper Arlington reading program and she gets some sweet prizes so that will help motivate us to help her read more.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAOwJPH12Pi4u2N1PGQmjtp2vFKn__GtnSrsq-PwlzDrYBm3R7uMf3Rvu40xXEmdhjt-jqZe_77TavrpQmERjbTNBLOeQR-HIk5P8hONrbj0K5MMebJJStetJZih7ikVjvd711Kiw5wLzb/s1600/IMG_0847.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAOwJPH12Pi4u2N1PGQmjtp2vFKn__GtnSrsq-PwlzDrYBm3R7uMf3Rvu40xXEmdhjt-jqZe_77TavrpQmERjbTNBLOeQR-HIk5P8hONrbj0K5MMebJJStetJZih7ikVjvd711Kiw5wLzb/s320/IMG_0847.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617773860080915154" /></a><br /></div><div>A couple of other things about Lucy.</div><div>She loves her baby sister Norah! Always helping her and teaching her new things. I love how they play together. My favorite is when they get laughing, I can't help but laugh with them even when I don't know what they are laughing about. Another funny thing about Lucy, she loves to sing.. especially in the bathroom. I can't count how many people have come out of the bathroom in public places and ask me if that little girl belongs to me and what a cute little singing voice she has. So funny. Last but not least.. her favorite saying of the day.. "Choose it!" Whenever I ask her what she wants to eat or what she wants to do it's always choose it! Such big decisions to make around our house.

Happy summer!</div></div>ssthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11084451280173513287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2491770990769370379.post-5205937062522144302011-04-22T00:09:00.001-04:002011-04-22T00:45:41.203-04:00Utah/Az spring breakMy mom called a month or so ago and talked me into bringing the kids to Utah for a little spring break. How could I resist!! We didn't do a whole lot, just hang out and catch up. Here are a whole bunch of random pictures from our trip.<div><br /></div><div>I have been wanting to go hiking so much lately, don't know why, so I thought it would be really fun to hike the Y. I planned for everyone to meet up so everyone showed up at my moms and unfortunately I was really sick with the flu and made it 2 steps to the car and turned around to go back inside and lay back on the couch :( I was so bummed. Norah and I watched conference and took naps. Thank goodness for family.. they helped me so much with the kids so I could rest and get better. Lucy had so much fun and talks about hiking the Y with her cousins everyday.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5YaR4HMVwJb7vBHJ9JtViLolbFrRHbdsIp8IDwjKzsepqRWIs8Fsu9FAd4iJyo6VPLlYMqXEcx5iIQXlwYEzaDH2mgNZy1UN8g83b36m9cR8b6yB6Vd_H_oNbCtxXVqsspsxVwr55kI0L/s1600/photo-17.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5YaR4HMVwJb7vBHJ9JtViLolbFrRHbdsIp8IDwjKzsepqRWIs8Fsu9FAd4iJyo6VPLlYMqXEcx5iIQXlwYEzaDH2mgNZy1UN8g83b36m9cR8b6yB6Vd_H_oNbCtxXVqsspsxVwr55kI0L/s320/photo-17.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598257137417971234" /></a><br /></div><div>Norah loves baby Alex!!</div><div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAmaIyCF9fpM65IT8eTV_nbZtip090oS0efWtNYI45wdKGFTwXolV068NHhZjZkT3igYpopbFuFS5N5CrCRGxa3ZSk88GYQ7uvErS1E7gqlg4-SEl11S2pcIC7JV77j73T-xFf4htATJ3_/s1600/photo-16.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAmaIyCF9fpM65IT8eTV_nbZtip090oS0efWtNYI45wdKGFTwXolV068NHhZjZkT3igYpopbFuFS5N5CrCRGxa3ZSk88GYQ7uvErS1E7gqlg4-SEl11S2pcIC7JV77j73T-xFf4htATJ3_/s1600/photo-16.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAmaIyCF9fpM65IT8eTV_nbZtip090oS0efWtNYI45wdKGFTwXolV068NHhZjZkT3igYpopbFuFS5N5CrCRGxa3ZSk88GYQ7uvErS1E7gqlg4-SEl11S2pcIC7JV77j73T-xFf4htATJ3_/s320/photo-16.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598257133242262914" /></a><br /></div><div>Lucy and Quincey drinking their McD's smoothies, thanks Aunt Jenny!</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioNDzEr4OStH68yVzsYvMvjGdyKEpVn854ZYVfMbGYIwX4sO9Uo81_3QMl9cKkIV_rwPMPpjf5OUIVlOfasVFa2Z-w0lTfjCN-tz8Os4xEn9hWyCciaJM17iJ7KLj-jXouBEo0TvG-aDiN/s1600/photo-15.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioNDzEr4OStH68yVzsYvMvjGdyKEpVn854ZYVfMbGYIwX4sO9Uo81_3QMl9cKkIV_rwPMPpjf5OUIVlOfasVFa2Z-w0lTfjCN-tz8Os4xEn9hWyCciaJM17iJ7KLj-jXouBEo0TvG-aDiN/s320/photo-15.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598257124843732994" /></a><br /></div><div>Can't go to Utah and not go to Chuck E Cheese!

We wanted to go somewhere warm.. Ohio had a big ice storm while we were gone with all kinds of power outages and problems so we were happy we missed out on that action. Anyway, back to my going somewhere warm story.. we had heard of this little place called Hilton Head, South Carolina that was cool and usually warm, well warmer than Ohio so we decided to check it out. We had such a good time and the girls were so good, I was amazed at how well they did with all of the driving etc.<div><br /></div><div>We stayed at The Disney Resort that had direct access to the beach from the clubhouse that also had a pool and some other fun things, camp fires and story telling/smores at night, and activities for the kids.

The kids loved playing with the cousins and it was fun to just relax and not have any rushed plans. We're so blessed and so thankful for our families and friends. We love you all!!

There is a street a couple blocks from us that is blocked off specifically for trick-or-treaters. It's nice because the houses are all really close together and since they have so many kids people just camp out on their porches and hand out candy. It's the best because it takes an hour-ish to get to all of the houses and that is about all our kids could take. I love that there are so many little kids around the same age.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc_ZC6Dzc3eBoWs_ShGGCxT6xYTBsRs6Vpb8knwJwqyR6cRPqhGtCpckY4t23DX9XM_kEQVkgmhU3f3sHiVq-krGkrSrC7ciUj1p6JHrwAiJbovj2JgzDj49T0s2BHAfOMqr7rO4XRzojq/s1600/photo-38.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc_ZC6Dzc3eBoWs_ShGGCxT6xYTBsRs6Vpb8knwJwqyR6cRPqhGtCpckY4t23DX9XM_kEQVkgmhU3f3sHiVq-krGkrSrC7ciUj1p6JHrwAiJbovj2JgzDj49T0s2BHAfOMqr7rO4XRzojq/s320/photo-38.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539286483700653026" /></a><br /></div><div>Dad and Norah<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCkzpVitQ1ZBV64BJyKWKrhq6DuwaQcZN8E3err-zGR3bH9adJc1W55hJK02Axt9rN0U4YOJhDMZU4nPAbbQeHT9K8kh7UJFh3mcYRbHXUKdUZHB1BrALzIakZMrHnTeaMprZUo7jRyc1c/s1600/photo-36.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCkzpVitQ1ZBV64BJyKWKrhq6DuwaQcZN8E3err-zGR3bH9adJc1W55hJK02Axt9rN0U4YOJhDMZU4nPAbbQeHT9K8kh7UJFh3mcYRbHXUKdUZHB1BrALzIakZMrHnTeaMprZUo7jRyc1c/s320/photo-36.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539286479500814466" /></a><br /></div><div>Norah caught eating my mints</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilXKoPYx_9TuzdsdGeWsY3txs1H__no1Pa90NwnAx9qb3Mel21vNk2vHi6yJ5mZF239FxWdDdPZoY5HkaWERRT1P1Zl4wXdtfTbF7nd4CFOajOuufCb0J7pzptfISDK5ThpMJ_tTqEd9zP/s1600/photo-31.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilXKoPYx_9TuzdsdGeWsY3txs1H__no1Pa90NwnAx9qb3Mel21vNk2vHi6yJ5mZF239FxWdDdPZoY5HkaWERRT1P1Zl4wXdtfTbF7nd4CFOajOuufCb0J7pzptfISDK5ThpMJ_tTqEd9zP/s320/photo-31.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539286470495243234" /></a><br /></div><div>Boo at the zoo, which is always so fun!</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt_hQFOBb24O1c-5mKv-G7hFxOp_hcWSpcgn1MQmhIq-RTac-MXAagnOHTEoD3cAzrBwJjYD1x5kWlc64zBKWqMMFPluEofGtfjm9zAN1NINDjqmIGQlfy7Qcri4jQoKUVFNoxLOo3znH2/s1600/photo-61.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt_hQFOBb24O1c-5mKv-G7hFxOp_hcWSpcgn1MQmhIq-RTac-MXAagnOHTEoD3cAzrBwJjYD1x5kWlc64zBKWqMMFPluEofGtfjm9zAN1NINDjqmIGQlfy7Qcri4jQoKUVFNoxLOo3znH2/s320/photo-61.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539286470452284898" /></a><br /></div><div>Ward party, I bet you can't guess who Shrek is.

I can't believe it is just about over.<div>Here are some pics from the last couple of months..</div><div><br /></div><div>Some of us girls ran the Prairie Oaks 10 K last Saturday and as I turned the corner for the finish line I saw Dave and the girls waving at me.. Lucy had a big smile on her face and so did Norah.. until I ran past them.. Dave then took this picture of her running after me crying. I wish she didn't like me so much! </div><div>I have to say that I have a very dedicated and supportive husband.. even though this 10K was a little rinky dink race he still came after getting the girls all ready (it was 30 degrees outside, freezing!) he ran outside that morning and turned the car on so it would be warm when they got in and when he came back out minutes later figured out that the keys were locked inside of the running car, oops! He was going to see if our neighbor would let him borrow his car but then remembered my sister had her car there so he threw the kids in her car and came down to the race. All of us went to breakfast after and when we got home hours later, the car was still running. It meant a lot to me that he still came and brought the girls. I love you!</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpB6xAReOMp5kowA959uz9EbgSJj4mnJm0BPbjlzv9tFDyHD0qcBeOziqezXyoTpiQ3w1z2zRgZCb1ig55ep3wPOPV4t4FeH-Iqc_nt0k5fXvP2HX-DQYxaj2Y18qigvNAEsP6En2UBa2H/s1600/photo-9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpB6xAReOMp5kowA959uz9EbgSJj4mnJm0BPbjlzv9tFDyHD0qcBeOziqezXyoTpiQ3w1z2zRgZCb1ig55ep3wPOPV4t4FeH-Iqc_nt0k5fXvP2HX-DQYxaj2Y18qigvNAEsP6En2UBa2H/s320/photo-9.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539275051014519602" /></a><br /></div><div>My good friends, Rachel and Debbie are pros now, it was their first big race.. they did awesome!!</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyxtq6aQMyH9uFZZVULSUQbsHZzGmlQb2tR_8GLoEroCsl2QsqKiBCGD7QSM5OuA7OnCC8dg9Jp3gXMj9usHhyphenhypheniRDE7DKA_6UPjmD4a6urBjkX6i9LO6k68gPo1c2WBIwH8DERJumTWAvy/s1600/DSC_1451-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyxtq6aQMyH9uFZZVULSUQbsHZzGmlQb2tR_8GLoEroCsl2QsqKiBCGD7QSM5OuA7OnCC8dg9Jp3gXMj9usHhyphenhypheniRDE7DKA_6UPjmD4a6urBjkX6i9LO6k68gPo1c2WBIwH8DERJumTWAvy/s320/DSC_1451-1.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539275053138937362" /></a><br /></div><div>Me and my sweet little sis, I'm going to miss her so much when she goes home.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSGfqqAIq1rwNuPvqTnqdU0xfzkfuxcpfCfe6UvWisDzinTBGtD0RbCKA5b1MZZfDHaPtOOZ8Ff0nWYCENPgUOJBepSK6oaSiU947qq7DPEq_k1ChSYXyIVPJSWxlHjaTKfEEKCO22XJ70/s1600/DSC_1448-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSGfqqAIq1rwNuPvqTnqdU0xfzkfuxcpfCfe6UvWisDzinTBGtD0RbCKA5b1MZZfDHaPtOOZ8Ff0nWYCENPgUOJBepSK6oaSiU947qq7DPEq_k1ChSYXyIVPJSWxlHjaTKfEEKCO22XJ70/s320/DSC_1448-1.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539275048703668482" /></a><br /></div><div>One of Dave's co-workers gave us this huge soccer goal..

She and Lucy are so cute together and they laugh and play and it's so darn cute.

For my 31st birthday he gave me this cool running watch that is run by local satellites. It tells you your pace, time, distance, and a whole bunch of other stuff. He then gave me a box with the confirmation info about this "marathon" he had signed me up for. I wasn't sure how I felt about it at first but once I got home and started training I was actually kind of excited about it. I only had 12 weeks to train so I had to get going (Dave and I ran a half marathon in May, so I was already half trained and not too far behind). He said that he knew I wanted to run one but knew that I would never get the guts to sign up myself so he did it for me. My sister decided to run it too since she was moving out so that was that was nice to have her support when I wanted to quit. We pumped each other up so we would be ready for the big day.<div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSZyklFvp9abOLtOk6sNWtlHkqRa5iJTASORH8hYCmdcZdNhZyafuoBIyPlaOmqkCqw9VwHPiHP7fgUu99Z1hZ7GHzXlKp2-MDI_bjKQ63clCrTSePx4cDtuXy0alMAQJ62mCfaUJsqQbg/s1600/photo-5.jpg"></a></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSZyklFvp9abOLtOk6sNWtlHkqRa5iJTASORH8hYCmdcZdNhZyafuoBIyPlaOmqkCqw9VwHPiHP7fgUu99Z1hZ7GHzXlKp2-MDI_bjKQ63clCrTSePx4cDtuXy0alMAQJ62mCfaUJsqQbg/s1600/photo-5.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 237px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSZyklFvp9abOLtOk6sNWtlHkqRa5iJTASORH8hYCmdcZdNhZyafuoBIyPlaOmqkCqw9VwHPiHP7fgUu99Z1hZ7GHzXlKp2-MDI_bjKQ63clCrTSePx4cDtuXy0alMAQJ62mCfaUJsqQbg/s320/photo-5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527404543808629074" /></a>We survived!
