Coloring Easter Eggs
We colored eggs for the first time. Eli and Kaya were really exited to help. We only had one egg causality, Kaya was hungry so she cleaned it up promptly. Eli really enjoyed picking the colors and creating the faces. Kaya really enjoyed trying to make a mess:)
Feeding the Birds
Eli and Kaya were really brave and hand fed the goose at the park. I was scared at first but the goose was actually really gentle. I don't know who ate more bread the goose or Eli and Kaya.
Bakersfield 1/2 Marathon (Again...)
We did it again! My father inlaw and I ran the other half marathon in Bakersfield. I was still sore from the Marathon but it was fun. Our time was 1 hr. 53 mins.
Go Lakers!
The other day Eli requested, during a Lakers game, that we all dress up in our basketball stuff (Lakers) so he could play basketball in the livingroom. Isn't he sweet. He even posed for a picture.
Diamond Valley Lake Marathon
It was cold, rainy, hilly, windy and muddy with an occasional
torrential down pour but I finished.
torrential down pour but I finished.
I felt like a crazy person running in those conditions but I really wanted to run my marathon. I was soaked the first 5 minutes of the race and caked in mud. Most of the race was rainy and wet but for a brief ten minutes the sun came out and you could see a rainbow across the whole lake. That glimmer of hope was quickly followed by heavy rain. It was falling so hard I couldn't see in front of me and it actually stung when it hit my face.
My time was 4hrs. 5 mins. 35sec. My goal was to make it under 4hrs. but I didn't quite do it. My split time was 1hr 57min. It was hard to run fast with such strong headwinds and rough muddy terrain. I didn't even run with my Ipod (too wet.)
I did however beat my other goal, which was to beat Paul's marathon time. I shattered his time by three whole minutes. Four months of training really paid off.

New York Family Visit...
My Aunt Debbie, Uncle Gary, Cousin Tony and Uncle Joe were all in LA for a cruise and we got to spend the day hanging out. We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Longbeach.We had a really great time. I haven't seen them for a while and it made be realize how much I missed them. Hopefully it wont be as long until our next visit.
Eli made my Aunt his special buddy for the day. He never let her get out of his sight.
First day of Primary!
Our little Sunbeam!
It was Eli's first day of Primary (kid Sunday school) at church today .
This is him saying CHEESE!!!
We were running a little late so he had breakfast on the go. When he got home I heard him singing "knees and toes, knees and toes..." That was the only part of the song he could remember.
