Look who has Piggy Tails!

I was looking at Kaitlyn's hair this morning while she was eating and wondered it I would be able to get little piggy tails in her hair. Well, with her not being used to getting her hair done and a bit of a struggle, I was able to succeed! Yay! She finally has enough hair for little piggys! Here are photos of the very first hair do. :) Still waiting to get the first hair cut... :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Well our St. Patrick's Day was quite the day! We normally do not celebrate it that much other than wear green, but this time, it was different. We picked up Jessica & Ammon from their mom's house and we were invited to go to Aunt Vickie's house...or Amanda says "Aunt Picky" lol. We normally have FHE on our midweek visit, so Vickie and her family invited us over for dinner and FHE. The kids were pretty excited. Well, we showed up and she had a "green" dinner. We had green salad, green rolls, green beans, Chicken Fettuchini with spinach noodles and even the sauce was green! :) Afterwards, Vickie prepared a wonderful Family Home Evening lesson on the resurrection of Christ (in flannel board story form). Afterwards for the activity, Vickie mentioned some leprechauns had been downstairs and the kids all ran down there and found chocolate candy gold coins all over. They all seemed pretty excited. Later we took Jessica and Ammon back to their mom's home.

Well, it had been a long day. I hadn't been home since the morning and we opened the door to find little leprechaun feet wandering throughout our house. Some feet headed to Amanda's room with a box of "Lucky Charm" cereal, and some little presents for Amanda & Kaitlyn with a note. I have posted some pictures of the feet and some pictures of the kids being excited. Thanks for our friends, The Brau's & Aunt Vickie, they made our St. Patrick's Day a blast!

Utah Valley Half Marathon Here I Come!

Well, I am not sure if I am crazy but I just signed up for the Utah Valley Half Marathon! This is one of my goals for this year and I am actually going to do it! I am a soo excited and ready to challenge myself! :) I was looking at my last half marathon and it will be almost 5 years ago. I have been doing smaller races in between that time and having babies. lol Now is the time to get my last 10 pounds off and enjoy being more physically fit. :)

I figured a half marathon is more fitting for my schedule than a full one. Training for the Ogden Marathon was very time consuming and energy zapping. Knowing how limited my time is now with work, church callings, 2 to 4 kids running around, making dinner, cleaning, all the duties of a wife and mom etc. a half marathon would be more workable. :) If we set our minds to do something we want...we can do anything! :)
