Tough Choice!

Hunt for eggs? Or swing? Lucy would much rather swing. She hasn't figured out the whole hunt for things yet. Or, maybe it was because she hadn't been able to swing all winter and that was the first time a swing was staring her in face. Either way, she had fun.

Daddy Time

Lucy loves spending time with Daddy. And Nothing beats a Dilly Bar from Dairy Queen. We also drive by Dairy Queen ALL the time and Lucy often chimes in with a request for ice cream.

I solemnly swear I'm up to no good!

While in Utah, I looked down the stairs and saw this. Lucy and Carson got into some mischief! Lucy reached up on the counter and pulled down the container with Jelly Belly's. They dumped them out on the rug and had a feast! Crazy kids.

Mischief managed.

Snow much fun!

I mentioned that Lucy was fond of Frosty the Snowman. Well here is her Frosty. She loved to watch the movie all the time, and she would talk about him all the time. When he first melted she said something like this: "Oh no, where Frosty? He melted! :( Poor poor sad." Then, last week as we were going to the garage (mind you we haven't had snow on the ground for a while) Lucy says "Where's Frosty? He melted"

Maybe it's time for us to buy a real slide, although Lucy had fun. This year she also loved to wear her pink boots and her pink hat with a fuzzy pom pom on top. Huggies are GREAT! (I really think this could be used as an ad for KC ;))

BE MINE

They did move Valentines to May, right? Sorry for such a delay, but here is my attempt to catch up. Valentines day for us was nothing fancy. We had plans for Wicked later that month.

Here is Lucy taking a bite out of Brad's burrito.

Lucy was a fan of Frosty this year. You'll see more later.

2:25

For all those anxiously awaiting the news, I DID DO IT!!! I wanted to wait to post until I had some pictures, but that hasn't happened yet. I completed 13.1 miles in 2 hours 25 minutes. I'm so proud of myself. :) I ran the majority of the race with my sister Alyce. Around mile 10, I left her in my dust (or at least behind me—she runs at a slower pase). It was a beautiful day, and along the way we were all (Dad, Alyce, and myself) greeted by family. First by Mom, Ashley, Brooklynn, then by Brad, Lucy, Kelby, Tyler, Katie, Christian, and Hayden. And finally, the finish line. I thought it was never going to come. The last two miles were the hardest (obviously), but I was also in physical pain. My right hip and my left ankle were KILLING! (both are still bothering me—I have to limp). However, if you asked if I would do it again, the answer would be yes. I had a great time (and yes, I know I sound crazy). Thanks everyone!

Can I do it?

Notice the ticker to the right. I have only a few days before I am going to run a half marathon! Can I do it? I hope so. Running in Utah is tougher than Wisconsin (duh!). It is getting easier to breath, but the hills/mountains/any change in elevation? is not so fun. Tomorrow is the last run before the big run. Wish me luck!

On a side note, I'm in Utah until the first of April, so if anyone is around and wants to visit, let me know.

Today is also my sister Sarah's birthday. Happy Birthday Sarah! Glad to spend it with you. Love you!
