Me & Mine

"The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey.... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinder, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." President Gordon B. Hinckley

Some cute things

Lulu had her recital last week and the day of, she learned how to hold her leg lift! She performed it as her little solo part in one of her dances instead of doing her somersault. She is a good little dancer if I do say so myself. Its my favorite thing to watch her perform and all my dancers did an amazing job too. I was really proud of my girls and I'm so grateful I get to keep the studio going even though we're moving.






Cute Lindsey Spencer who has got to be one of the most talented people in the world made these over-the-top adorable tutus for Lulu in exchange for the duet I made for her daughter and her best friend for the recital. She brought them over today and I am just so impressed with her abilities! I'm hiring her to help with costumes next year for sure!!!







This one has a matching tutu on this cute little hippo she gave to Lulu. How cute is that? I love Lindsey!! (The little model pictured here has my heart though.)









On a completely different subject, Cody ran his first marathon of the year on Saturday. His time was around 3 hours, 42 minutes. This was his 19th marathon since he started in 2003 and he has 4 more planned to run this year. The boy is nuts! I am impressed with his commitment to his health though and his ability to complete 26.2 miles of running.



Here's our little family (minus the twins) afterwards. And here's fat me. Why do my arms get fat too when I'm pregnant?! Grr. Cody said even his fingertips hurt after this marathon. I am proud of him though. I hope to at least run a half someday...

P.S. Moving day is May 29th and 30th. Anyone know of a washing machine that needs a good home? :) We gave ours away while it was sitting in storage to some friends in need hoping that good karma would come back around when we needed it and now we do!
