SPRING BREAK

Spring break brought beautiful weather to Saint George, and we enjoyed every minute of it. We frequented the park instead of school, and I got out on my bike three times. We started the week by popping corn for family home evening. When nobody was looking Drake made his way up onto the table to devour the last of the bowl. He is officially rounding on the terrible twos, and I am going to need eyes in the back of my head for at least the next 18 months.
The kids begged their Dad for lunch at IN-N-OUT, and they didn't have to twist the arm to hard to get their way. We do enjoy the burgers, but the stickers and hats are icing on the cake for the kids. Brad loves to put his stickers directly on his person, and Autumn chooses to keep her stickers for weeks on end until Brad finds them and puts them also all over his face while she screams for mom.
On Friday I took the kids and headed to Beaver for what else but PROM! Only those of you who understand Beaver living will get why my mom, my sister, my daughter, and myself went to the Beaver High Junior Prom. To redeem myself a little bit I have to add that I went to do hair and to see Kalli for her B-day. However, that said the prom was just to tempting to turn down, and Autumn even found herself a genuine Minersville Cowboy.
We saved the best for last. Sunday was the funnest day of all. After Church me and the kids made green snicker doodles, (they always have to be some wild crazy color because it is more fun), Pete made the most amazing homemade pizza from scratch, dough and all. His talents amaze me and my children make me smile and smile. I love Sundays.

We still have Monday off from school, so I think we will head back to the park for a picnic lunch weather permitting. I think Tuesday is going to make me a little sad..this has been so much fun it makes me look forward to summer.

Tuacahn Duathlon

My wonderful family spent Saturday morning supporting my racing addiction. Jamie and I signed up for the Tuacahn Duathlon. We participated in the sprint, running 1.5 miles, then biking 12, and finishing up with another 1.5 run. I came in 4th overall for the women, taking home the 1st place award in my age category. My kids get so excited when they see me coming in at the end of a race. I love to hear them cheering me on. Autumn says she now wants to do a race that has running and biking, so I am looking for a kids race in our area that we can do together. A big thanks goes out to Pete who puts up with all of my training, and drags the gang to the finish line. I LOVE you baby!
