We're going to DISNEYLAND!

Over a year ago I was gone one night when Ryan helped the kids decorate a jar with Mickey for Warner, Minnie for Abbi, and Daisy for Sophie. They started saving their hard earned money...you know the kind you find in the sofa's at grandma's house. They worked hard finding all that change ;) We took them over to Wal Mart one family home evening to cash in so we could go have some fun in the sun!! They came home with $87.00. Not to bad, but it didn't even buy one pass into Disneyland. At least they had a little spending money!!

Movin' on to April!

Look who is so BIG! Sophie decided she wants to roll with the big kids. I gave in and let her sit up to the bar! She is so proud of herself. I just want her to stay little forever, but it's inevitable....she's growing up and loving every minute of it!

Abbi's first dance show!

This year Abbi's dance class was invited to dance at the show stopper at the high school. Her dance teacher told me it was ok if Abbi didn't want to dance. They didn't think she would do it. Look at that face! Does it look like someone who is scared! This girl was excited. She is with her friend Boston. They spent a lot of time together this year between dance and singing! Abbi loved it!

Proof that the sun did shine in March

It's been a pretty long winter and spring. Thought I better document that there were a few sunny days! You can still see snow on the ground, but we didn't care. The sun was shinning and we wanted to get out and take advantage of it! Warner playing in the sand box. How wonderful to get outside and get dirty right!

Oh my goodness....what can I say! Sophie stands at the door all day long saying "side" for outside. She wants to be out there rain or shine! Can you just tell how excited she is to be outside basking in the sun!!!

Abbi making sure the bikes still run the same! Sun how we have missed you! Please come back and stay awhile!!

Who turned three???? ABBI!

In March our little sassy Abbi turned three! It happened to be the weekend of the Moab 1/2. When we got home aunt Denice had made her this cute "DARBIE" cake as Abbi would say! It was adorable and we can't thank Denice enough for doing this for her! It made Abbi's year!Mom forgot the candles so we improvised with matches! The flames were a flying for the celebration!

Abbi was so excited to get money from Grandma and Grandpa Roberts to put in a bank account!!

What would a birthday be without a pinata!!! I think Abbi had a wonderful day with Family, candy, presents and most importantly her "Darbie" cake!!

Finally, Abbi got her very first bike! Grandpa Lilly and Grandma Brenda were right on when they gave her a princess helmet and shin gaurds! They matched her bike perfectly and she is ready to go!!!

Abbi, in your three short years you have been such a blessing to our home! You have the sassiest personality and we LOVE it! You love giving kisses! You love playing with your barbies, sister and brother. You tell everyone you are a super fast runner, and boy you aren't kidding! We lost you in Wal Mart, and Disneyland. You weren't even scared! Your a little mother hen to your baby sister that you call "Ophie Rain" for Sophie Lorraine. We love you so much and look forward to many more birthdays!!

March Maddness starts in Moab!

This year Ryan and I decided we would take turn running races. Ryan was the lucky one to get Moab 1/2. He ran it with his sister Lynzie, my sister Kristie, and our friends Ashlie and Rhett. It was a super windy day. They actually had high wind warnings all day long! But that didn't stop all the runners! I was sad to miss out on this, as it is one of my favorites. Way to go Ryan!

Running with the wolves!!!

Wow...it's May and I'm still working of Feburary pictures!! Ryan signed us up for yet another Ragnar race. This one was the Del Sol in Arizona! Love these little running adventures with my best friend! Here we are before we started running! We are still smiling!!

At the start line while waiting for the bathroom....look who I ran into! Sione from the biggest loser. I was star struck! Ryan wasn't around when I met him and the girls swear he was rubbing his wedding ring to let me know. I must have really been a freak!! Who cares, right?

Ryan was sad not to have met Sione since the biggest loser is one of our favorites. But look who was waiting for Ryan at the finish line!!! Yes that is Sunshine from the biggest loser!


Finally the entire group of crazies that would ever do such a thing!! So much fun running, eating and maybe a little sleeping!
