Reading Glasses

Arianna really enjoys reading the Junie B. series and on this particular night she had just finished reading about Junie needing new glasses. Junie was petrified!! What would her friends at school think??!! Turns out they all thought the glasses were quite cool! So Arianna was saying she wanted glasses by the book's end. That very night when I went in to check on her she had found some glasses of her own. Reading glasses, to be sure.

26.2 Miles of the Pain I LOVE!

Last Saturday I woke up in the weeeeee hours of the morning, strapped on my runners and headed up the Provo Canyon: nervous, excited, ready to run. At 6 am Carrie and I began the first of just 26.2 miles we would run that day down the Provo Canyon, through the River bottoms, to the Lake and then back up to the the Provo Towne Center. This would be my first marathon. I might have said ONLY marathon, but it was SO fun, I am just not willing to go there.
The weather was PERFECT, the trail was gorgeous and the company was grand! I loved seeing my cheering squad along the trail at mile 9 and then again around 10.5. They were so cute! Thanks for getting everyone up and out there babe!
It didn't get hard until the 22nd mile or so. That surprised me. I thought it would be pure torture from start to finish, but I was just LOVING it! Cruising along side the rushing waters of the Provo River, I haven't ever enjoyed a run so much! The migraine hit about mile 23. So if I look like I was about to fall over, it's because that is EXACTLY how I felt! :) But in a good way. Is that possible?
My amazing running partner. Couldn't have done it w/o her.
Thanks again babe! That was a lot of time away from the fam and you were such a great support.
Ahhhh, mission accomplished!

My Little Grown Ups

Every hear that song, "Anything you can do I can do better" from the musical "Annie Get Your Gun"?? Enzo isn't exactly there, but anything his big sis can do, he is SURE he can do it likewise. So here he is, riding his bike w/o training wheels. He rode all around the park a few times once Daddy taught him how to keep himself balanced. I love his determination and drive! He has been a passionate soul from the get go, but that is balanced so nicely by this very sensitive and caring side that is so endearing. Way to go bud!

It was a HOT afternoon and these girls had HAD it! It was time to take advantage of the situation. They did a wonderful job recruiting and planning and selling the most tasty snowcones I ever did eat! They are MBA ready.
