We're Back...

Hello! I have been wanting to start this up again and decided today is the day. So, dishes can wait, who needs lunch, what's that? Lovey is using my expensive face lotion to wash the bathroom floor that's ok I'm updating my blog:) Of course I hope I remember how to blog, its looks like they have changed a few things since my last update a year ago...

The whole reason I stopped blogging was: 1 It took way too long to upload all the photos (One photo for one event...ok maybe two) and 2 I don't really think I am a good writer and never knew what to write. But hopefully the uploading process has been improved and now you all know I was not an English major and so be it! The question is should I catch up on the last 2 years???

Here is to another New Beginning...

St. George Ironman Kids Fun Run

The past 2 years we have had the Luce Family come down for the St. George Ironman. Jake works with the ART doctors to help prepare the athletes for the race. This year he was the head Doctor. I just love it because I get to spend 4 days with my college roomie:) 

Jaden & Owen Luce and Marcus ran in the Ironman 1 mile Fun Run. The race was Friday night before the big Ironman run on Saturday. They got a t-shirt, backpack, medal and they got to cross the same finish line the Ironmen cross when they finish. Marcus did great this year he finished big - I don't have a picture of Jaden or Marcus finishing because I had a little helper...if you know what I mean! 

The atmosphere is so electric downtown during the weekend. This year we saw the 1st place finisher cross the line, we ate yummy tacos from the food cart, the kids rode the carousel, played in the lazy stream, got candy from the candy store and we actually got cold at night! 

Can't wait till next year!!

Rainbow Cupcakes

We made delicious Rainbow Cupcakes for Seths Mickey Mouse 4th Birthday Party.

(Soccer jerseys are also good to use as aprons!)

Seth and Soccer

So he was really excited about his soccer jersey. Not so excited about actually playing soccer. We could hardly get him on the field and when he was on the filed he would lay down right in the middle and not move...I think we'll wait awhile to play team sports.

Oh The Places You WIll Go...

Dr. Seuss Week at school

(Don't be too excited about it)

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

Cutie Patooties

Wearing Matching Pajamas

Cutie Patooties is all I can say! 

Valentine's Day Party in Kindergarten!

The kids decorated sugar cookies, unscrambled a heart puzzle, played a silly game and had lots and lots of fun! 

Raising Butterflies

Thank You Mabey Family for a fun adventure with the Butterflies! We got them as caterpillars in the mail, they formed chrysalis' then came out as butterflies! 

(Check out Lovey's hair in the pic above)

This Butterfly stayed on Marcus' arm for about 15 minutes! 

Ummm....what is wrong with this picture?

Silly Boys!

Mother's Day

Lovey was in heaven eating a cleaned off chicken leg!

Good thing Grandpa has big arms to snuggle in!

Erin & Russell

Grandma Lake, Dad & Lovey*

I got to spend Mother's Day with my mom in Palm Springs this year. The whole Lake Family went to O'Donnell Golf Club for Lunch (thanks dad). I hadn't been with my mom for Mother's Day in a few years. Of course, I also got to be a celebrated mom with my kids. They gave me the greatest cards and Jon wrote me a traditional poem. Thank you family for a wonderful Mother's Day.

* Don't you worry - she is drinking breastmilk!
