Silly Girls

Adelyn was given some stick on mustaches at school and she decided to share with Olivia. They were being so silly and having a great time. These girls crack me up.

First Grade

Adelyn started first grade this year. She is still attending Legacy Preparatory Academy. We love it and think the uniforms are cute. Her teacher this year is Mrs. Bothwell and she has a few close friends in her class (Bethany and Jane). She has been excited to start all day school and is gone from 7:55 am to 3:05 pm. It has been quite the adjustment for Olivia and myself. Olivia asks me all day long when Adelyn will be home. We sure miss her during the day.

This picture was taken during the first week of school. She loves to curl her hair.

Headstand

Learning to do a headstand was at the top of Adelyn's "to do" list for the summer. Here she is practicing at her back-to-school picnic.

Adelyn Turns 6!

We celebrated Adelyn's 6th birthday with the Moss family, presents, and ice cream. She also got to spend her actual birthday with a few close friends, playing in the yard and eating popsicles. She loved being the center of attention and opening presents. Adelyn already cant wait for her next birthday, and her parents cant believe she is growing up so fast!

Trip to Washington

We decided to take a trip to Washington to see Nana and Poppi. We also got to see cousins Levi, Owen, and Jackson while we were there. The girls got to play in the creek, ride horses, play outside and get plenty dirty. The weather was beautiful so we all decided to go camping out on the Puget Sound. We loved being out in nature, playing in the water, going kayaking, eating good food and celebrating Adelyns birthday. It was a fun trip (except that I lost my iphone and all my pictures when our kayak tipped over). So here are a few pictures I could salvage from others:

Lagoon

Every time we drive by Lagoon the girls beg to go. Scott was able to take the girls for a day and they loved it. Grandpa, Christine, Michael, Alyssa and Jake were able to go join in the fun.

Half Marathon

I decided to train for a Half Marathon in July. A few friends and I signed up for the Legacy Midnight Half, running from basically North Salt Lake to Farmington starting at 10pm. It was an amazing run for me and I had a lot of fun. I kept up with Michelle and Gina for about 8 miles, then slowed my pace slightly, running a few miles by myself and caught back up to Michelle. Michelle and I finished the race together. This is my first ever race and I beat my goals. I averaged a 9:48 pace per mile (for 13.1 miles!) and made it in 2 hours and 8 minutes. I have never really been a runner before, so I was super proud. I hope to do it again sometime. During the race, Scott and my sister Katie would drive to the trail every couple of miles and cheer us on. I could hear Katie's yell from far away and it kept me super motivated. She is awesome!
