First, Lillian turned 2 last month.
What? I know I can't believe it either.
She is such a happy, fun kid. She is so dang friendly. Always a smile on her face and an infectious joy that she spreads to all those around her.
She really knows how to relax and enjoy each moment, something I am trying to learn from her.
And she loves chocolate cake. Happy Birthday Lilly!Second, Bella made it to age 7. (There has been some question around here whether or not she would!)
She had a fun afternoon picnic with some of her friends from school.
I hired the lamest clown (not on purpose, of course. Ugh!) Turns out 7 year old girls are too old for clowns. Who Knew?! Needless to say it was a very awkward and expensive hour.
We love having Isabella in our family. She is smart and funny and has a very kind heart. She loves to have friends around and never minds being the center of attention. I hope her wishes come true. Happy Birthday Bella!Third, Peter participated in his second triathlon of the season last weekend in St. George. My brother also did this one so our family and his family all went down for the weekend and shared a condo. We had lots of fun watching them both fully compete this year. Last year they did the same tri and the swim portion got cancelled the morning of due to wind but this year it went off without a hitch. They stayed pretty close throughout and finished within just seconds of each other.
They are somewhere out in front. They really did fantastic on the swim.
Here's Pete coming out of the water and heading to transition to get on his bike. I wasn't able to get any pics of him on the bike due to the way the course was set up and the children I was left to haul around were distracting me.
Here's a terrible picture of him finishing. His time was 1:22:15. He was 35th overall and 5th in his age group.
Here's a crazy picture of my brothers finish. His time was 1:22:27. He was 36th overall and 6th in the age group. Close huh?!
After the triathlon we went back to the condo for some family pool time. Bella and Ayva love playing in the water. Lilly likes to play next to the water. She gets that from me.
Ayva jumping off the diving board.
She could do that all day. She loves it!
Has her noodle, but doesn't want to use it.

OOOOO-la-la!!!
Later that evening we splashed in the water at a local park that the kids love.
Cool plant I took a cool picture of.
Fourth, Ayva graduated from preschool last night. (Thank goodness) In our rush to get there on time I neglected to check my camera for its memory card. I should of. Therefore I didn't get any pictures of her graduation (hopefully I will get opportunities to redeem myself in the future). I did take one of her as soon as we got home.
Ta-da! Bring on kindergarten.

we got a new car (2010 Subaru Outback. So sweet!)
and
I will be competing in my first triathlon this Saturday. Wish my luck, I will need it!
And last but not least today is our 10th wedding anniversary. I can't believe I was able to fool him into marrying me and have been able to keep him fooled for 10 years. I truly am not worthy of him which makes me that much more grateful for him. I love you Peter.
