From Basketball to Braces

Go Wildcats!
Lex (after braces), Riley, Blaze, Mia

With braces and forcing a painful smile!

Lexi was super proud of her basketball trophy and ended the week with braces! She has top and bottom expanders, too, so she's trying to figure out how to talk and eat again. Just another reminder that my little girl is very big!

Austin

Last weekend we went to Austin for Ben's 1st birthday and for my 1/2 marathon. We had a great trip and got alot of visiting in. We watched Ben enjoy his birthday cake on Saturday, then Jen and Zach and I took Lexi to see the capitol. We went to bed early and Jill, Jen, Z, and I ran in the half marathon. It was a hilly run, but I ended with my best time yet, 1:55:16. Everyone did awesome! After the race, we had a table for 20 at Olivia! Yum! It was so much fun to visit with everyone. Mom and Dad treated us at brunch where we got to visit with the Deegan clan, Frizzells, Maggie and Mason, and Tyler and Lauren.

Hooray! Hooray! A Snow Day!

We are covered in soft, wonderful snow here! The best kind for playing in. We were released early from school today and will have a late start tomorrow. So we played!

And we made snow ice cream...
And a snowman...And snow angels....

Stinky Business!

On Tuesday, we came home to this! He was a nuisance all night. Our dogs finally took care of him. Thank goodness!
