S's new walker

This worked better than her actual walker.

St. George Tri

Well, I was not very good at taking pics, but my sister was. At least before and after the race, so I am using hers. Nobody was there to take pics during. If you want to see more pics this the link to her site. Brightroom has some pics of us during if you want to see them. Here's mine.

The weather was fantastic. Probably the best weather we've ever had for this race, (usually we have some sort of wind or rain.) Three times we've had the race or part of it cancelled. I think that's why they actually had new entries at check-in. People don't want to go to an expensive race that gets cancelled and don't get money back. It used to get sold out within weeks of opening. Anyway, this time was perfect. Even the night had practically no wind, (we camp.)

I was signed up for the olympic originally, but I had been sick over 6 weeks so I emailed and asked to switch to sprint. I'm glad I did. Even though I didn't have any problems breathing, at least I didn't worry about it. I got the best time I've ever had for this race. (I think.) It helps that they changed the run to the road. We used to have to run partially in sand.

All in all it was awesome and we had tons of fun.

Next races coming up: Bryce Canyon 1/2 marathon, Kokopelli Tri

First Fish!

I think the pics explain it.

Feeling Crafty

I bought a bunch of fabric a couple of years ago to make the girls' Easter dresses and never ended up doing it, so I decided to get it out and try this year, even though the girls were bigger and we have a third. I had to use a different pattern to have enough fabric.

My Easter dress is not done yet, but I did make one of those flower bibs to wear.

Candyland Cake!

Z saw a Candyland cake in a Taste of Home magazine and wanted it for her birthday so my mom bought the candies and I put it together. The kids all loved it because there was so much candy to go around.

We've Moved!

Okay, I know it's been a while, but a lot has been going on. The one main thing is that we are now in S G! Sorry if we just kindof dropped off the face of the earth because we have new numbers and everything, but things just happened so fast. Bryant took a job here and came down just after Christmas while I stayed in Orem and packed and got the house ready to rent out. Bry found a place to for us to live the day before we moved, (talk about close call.) It took us a while to get the internet up and running, and then when we did we immediately got a virus and had to get that cleaned up. So here we are, Sunny S G! We love it. The girls are outside playing every day, I can't keep them in. If you happen to drive through here come by and say "HI."

Our Little Corker

These two pictures just kinda sum up Z. She is our little mischievious one. Grandma had the girls come over to take some pictures and this was towards the end of picture taking. (Of course she didn't know the camera was getting her.) Z just does her own thing whether it could get her in trouble or not. A little while ago, she managed to cut mom's hair and kill the fish all in one day.

She had the brush and was brushing my hair when she said, "I'm gonna go get a clippie." (Which is a barrett at our house.) I was holding the baby and not paying attention to what Z came back with till I heard a SNIP! I look back and Z's got the scissors and some of my hair!! I cried for an hour. (If you hadn't seen me in a while, my hair was QUITE long, I had to get layers put in.) Later that day, I saw Z in her bedroom up on a chair with the fish net in hand. I went to the tank and looked for the fish. Of course it was not there. I kept asking what she had done with it and she kept saying, "Nothing mama." She was so adament that she didnt do anything I started to believe her, even though I didn't see how the fish could just vanish. When Bry came home he found the fish on the floor. We had that fish for the longest time. It was a survivor till Z came along. (To be honest, I'm surprised she hadn't gotten to it sooner.) Z can be quite the little trouble maker, but I guess that's what makes her her and we have to cherish the memories she creates.
