My RUNNER.....

Saige's school does a "FUN RUN" fundraiser every year so we always like to go do our part and run. Saige and I got up early Saturday morning to go do the one mile FUN RUN...well when we got there and signing up Saige insisted on running the 5K, I tried to make sure she understood how far that was (trying to talk her out of it, I was in no way ready to run) but she said she could do it, so we did it. AND WOW, I can not believe her, she really ran the WHOLE thing, I was the one lagging!!! As we crossed the finish line I was so proud and holding back the tears, I think this has to top the list as one of my proudest moments of her. She was so excited too, and all smiles, with cheering of all the runners who had finished. SHE WAS THRILLED and should be.
I only wish Calvin could have been there to watch, but when we left we were just doing the 1 mile no big deal. I had tried to call him with no answer & come to find out he was home locked out with no truck keys!! So he had planned on coming up, but NEXT time he will be there cheering her on, because we are going to do another one together.
So there were around 310 runners, & Saige took first in her age group and 44th overall!!!! WOW
Here is her official Runner card
Because I have had too many people NOT believe her time!!
So this is PROOF!!

Girls Day at the Salon

The girls love to have their cousins come down from Kamas, so we had them come for a sleepover then a trip to the Salon for a few hairdo's, mani's and pedi's. They loved it and thought they were ohhh so big. They all got curls done, (minus Addie she wanted hers straight ?!?) then they got nails and toenails done. The hair looked darling....fingers and toes left MUCH to be desired, but they were tickled none the less.
After we went to snap a few GLAMOR shots, we went to the one place that has pretty flower the Temple and took some cute pics of them.
Thanks Aunt Megan for the great idea and getting us going...too bad she had to leave early. :(
Here they are showing off their new DO's. So cute and the best of Friends.
The GIRLIES!!!

The HAPPIEST Place on EARTH!!!

DISNEYLAND!!!
Well we survived our trip to Disneyland (about a month ago) and had so much fun!! This was the first time we drove which was VERY scary for me I don't do well confined to a little place for that long.....so about 2 weeks before we left Calvin decided it was time to take the plunge and convert into a SUV family!!! YEAH, he found an awesome Yukon and bought it which made the drive OH SO NICE!!! The girls did awesome on the way down, we left early and they made it to about St. George before waking up. We made minimal potty stops and they for the most part didn't fight!! But I was prepared with about 10 different things for them to do...movies, games, leapster, coloring, book, ipod, treats, more games etc... So we got to California Sunday night checked in then went out to dinner, we had already planned on not going into Disneyland until Monday morning....pure torture for the girls that had just made a 10 hour drive to NOT go straight to DISNEYLAND. Anyway Monday was our first of four days at Disneyland and it really is so MAGICAL, I guess I really am a kid at heart!!!
Jose, Ana and Andie, came with us it was great to have them along, I hope they had as much fun as us. Thanks for coming it was a blast!!











A few HIGHLIGHTS!!!
Saige lost her FIRST tooth in Disneyland, she will never forget it!! And yes the tooth fairy can find you in California!!!
Her new toothless smile!!!
The tooth, she was very excited!!

Ever since we had Cali I have wanted a "CALI" picture so this is the best we could get, it proved harder than you think to get one without other people in it. If you look close she is standing on the "L".

The princess LUNCH was great and yummy food. The girls got to meet five princess's!! A huge highlight for them.

Cali and TINKIE BELL! Anyone who knows Cali knows she is a little obsessed with Tinker Bell. So seeing her was a must on our list. We got to see her the first day and to see little Cali Jo's eyes light up was worth the whole trip she was soooooo thrilled, and bashful of course but is still talking about it. She told tinker bell that she is her favorite Princess!!

OH so CUTE!!!
Saying GOODBYE!!! This was our last parade we watched, and of course it was HSM!!!

We made it down to Seaworld too, but that will be another post!!!

Photography....

....BY ADDISON!!!!!!
This is what happens when a 4 year old gets the camera, well this and about 40 other random pictures but I thought these 2 maybe had potential. I think I may have a budding photographer on my hands with these great self portraits !!!!
