Happy, Happy Birthday Audrey Dear

April 18th was Audrey's 4th birthday celebration. Holy moly, I have a 4 year old...so weird. I know you will all be jealous you missed it...we had a Pretty in Pink Party ladies...and it was fabulous! We all wore our favorite pink ribbons, bows and pearls...followed by a soothing pedicure and manicure...and to wrap it all up, a pinata full of pretty lips (chap stick) and candy. And, we can't forget the awesome princess cupcakes that fabulous Teresa made for the occasion! Audrey had a wonderful time and that's what counts the most! Happy Birthday Audrey!

Running Chicks

We did it! We rule! April 18th, 2009 was the Salt Lake City 1/2 marathon, and Teresa and I finished in 2 hours 19 minutes and 57 seconds. Hooray! Last year when we ran the Bear Lake 1/2, we ran it in 2 hours and 30 minutes...so we beat our time by 10 minutes! I love race day...the crowds cheering you on, the fun bands playing, the finish line enthusiasm...it's the reward for all the hard work. And after all that hard work...here are the top 3 reasons that I'm glad I'm done training:

1. 6am runs were killing me off (as Audrey would say).
2. My appetite is back to normal...in other words, I don't feel like eating a cow every day!
3. My hips don't feel like they are going to break because they are so sore!

I failed miserably at getting pictures...so here's a link to the pictures that they took of us as we were running...that I can buy for a small fortune. I think I might buy one, we'll see...

Life

Sometimes life throws you curve balls...for us right now that's no work! Due to the economy and other unforeseen events, we are cutting back on all of our expenses...which means I have to cancel our internet! Yuck! We will probably be getting a cheap dial up. This means...I probably will rarely update this page, so I'll keep it open and hopefully when things get better, maybe I can pick up where I left off. Otherwise...I may try to post every now and then, but who knows what it will be like. We'll blog ya soon!

Princess Sophie

I love being an aunt! Miss Sophie Anne Lyon decided to join our crazy family this morning at 6:49am. She was 8 lbs and 21 inches long...with LOTS of dark brown hair. I'm pretty sure it will be blonde soon though! She is a sweet little miss and we love her already! Audrey kept asking Christa where the baby went in her belly...even though she was holding it in her arms. And Lauren had the giggles the entire time, as she was poking and prodding the poor girl. She kept taking her little hat off too...what a bully! She learned it from her sister!

Here's some fun pics for everyone...especially Jess! We miss you!
