Lots of new stuff

Time is just flying by and we have been busy with all kinds of stuff.

April 18th I ran the Earth Day 1/2 marathon. Besides the side ache I had for about 4 miles of it, it went well and I felt good at the end. Mike and the kids came to cheer me on, so that was great! It kept me going in the end. I finished with a time of 2:02:38.

Izzie learned how to crawl and she is busy busy and into everything! I forget how fast they can get into things. She loves to be able to move and "play" more with Olivia. She also cut her 2 bottom teeth over the weekend and has a double ear infection. She is still surprisingly in good spirits so hopefully that continues.
Olivia is POTTY TRAINED!! She did such a great job. After the first day of training she started telling us all the time when she had to go so it really went a lot better and faster than I thought it would. Those first couple days of watching her closely and asking her were exhausting, but worth it. She has been talking up a storm lately, lots of full sentences. One of my favorites is "I want to cuddle with Mommy" She loves her couch time at night. When the big kids go to sleep, she often gets to stay up a few mins and cuddle with Mom, Dad and Izzie.

Last weekend we spent most of the weekend cleaning and organizing in and around the house, shampooing the carpet, re-arranging the furniture in the living room and I also went through the kids closets and switched out the winter clothes for their spring/summer wardrobe. I love doing things like that! I finished on Monday going through the basement - cleaning and organizing that.

A few friends had babies too this month - Welcome Jaxson Austin and Eli McLellen! We had the opportunity to meet them already and they are both just precious. Auntie Debba has a few more weeks to go and we can't wait to meet her new baby girl!

This weekend we have my god daughter's and another nieces First Communion so we will be in the cities most of the weekend with family, but it is always a great time!

This is Olivia's favorite new activity - wrestling with Izzie. Izzie actually likes it too!

I found Izzie sleeping in her crib like this

Izzie doing SO BIG!
