trampoline...

Robert and I told the girls that we could get a trampoline if they could fill up a jar of marbles. I never thought it would actually happen, but after 2 1/2 months they did it! I might be regretting this, but for now they are loving it!

My little Taylor...

Today Taylor came home from preschool with a card that she made for me that her teacher said she wrote down word for word what Taylor wanted to say! It was pretty funny. She thought I was 60 years old and said that my favorite place to go was to the store all by myself! How sad that she thought I was 60! I knew I was looking older these days! But yes she is so right about me going to stores all by myself! That hardly ever happens, unfortunately! Didn't she do such a great job drawing me? I'm the one on the right!

Ragnar Relay...

Last weekend I ran a relay with some friends. They had asked me to do it a long time ago, but I said no because I wasn't too excited about running ALOT and getting no sleep. Someone on the team got hurt though so they asked me again if I would take her place, and I"m so glad that i did! It was so much fun. There were two vans with 6 girls each. The first van left Thursday night and our van left Friday morning to meet them. We started running at 1 pm. and I was the first runner. I ran 8 miles then at 11:15 pm ran another 7 miles! Thankfully a girl in the other van ran with me at night! It was so scary even to be running with another person. It was so dark with no one around. Our van finally got some sleep between 5am to 7am then we had to start running again. I hurt my knee so a girl in my van ran my last leg for me, but then as soon as it was her turn to start her last leg, my knee felt better so I ran it for her. It was such a crazy but fun experience! And I might have to do it again next year!

This is before we knew what we were getting into!
The whole group except for Tara, we were waiting for her to finish so that I could start my first leg!
Waiting to start my first run!
We ran along the beach almost the whole way! It was beautiful!

We were done with our legs and we had 4 hours until I had to start running again!
So we all went to Denny's! It was pretty disgusting!
Our names were hormonal hotties! Kind of embarrassing!

Sadie and I getting ready to run 7 miles, in the dark!
We finally finished! I was so excited at this point to take a shower and go to bed!

The girls and I went down to San Diego to spend the night at my parents house and the next day we went to eat right on the beach! It was soo beautiful!!

Family Night...

For Family night tonight, we talked about the Scriptures and I made these little "Scripture Specs" and I just had to take a picture! They got so excited to put them on! Unfortunately though I don't think they got anything from the lesson!

LA weekend...

For Christmas Rob gave 3 clues in 3 different emails about my present. When I finally got to the end it said that he would be flying my sister Meghan down in February to spend the weekend in LA! I was so excited! We just got back and we had such a fun time! My mom came last minute too! We did a lot of shopping and a lot of eating!!


We stayed in Santa Monica and decided to rent some bikes for an hour! It was so much fun, especially when we saw Gorden Ramsey from "Hell's Kitchen" running by us!

Chef RamseyWe of course had to stop and get some Sprinkles cupcakes!
We went shopping at the Grove and saw Joanna and Alexis Grace from American Idol! We made them feel way cooler than they actually are!!
Shopping at the Grove
We had such a great time and hopefully we can do it again next year! After the weekend that Rob had though i'm sure he won't agree!
