A little confession...

I'll admit it....and I'm sure this won't come as a shocker to any of you who are loyal enough to still be checking my blog after months and months of no updates but....I HATE BLOGGING! Maybe hate is too strong of a word, but it is definitely a chore. A lot like cleaning bathrooms, eating green leafy things, and vacuuming out my car. But I still try to do my other chores because I like the end result. So I will keep making an effort to blog because I do like sharing bits and pieces of our lives with all of you, and I love reading your updates and feel bad about not reciprocating. So, without any more angst, here is the start of our 2010 Highlights:


We still have no shortage of Super Hero's in the house. Here are IronMan & Wolverine protecting their baby sis from the forces of evil. I decided to get in on the action and made Super Heroes the theme for Girls Camp this year....bring on the spandex & capes! :)
This year has been a Road-Trip year. We managed to make it down to St. George for 3 different weekends in January and February, twice for Kyle's IronMan training and once for my duathlon. We all loved being able to get out of the cold and get outside. And the kids got to go swimming--nevermind that the pool wasn't heated and it was only 50-60 degrees, they were unstoppable. Izzie has used our frequent road trips to hit all of her milestones, she rolled from her tummy to her back for the first time while we were down there in January and from her back to her tummy while we were there in February. And she started sitting on her own while we were in Cali in March. She still doesn't roll a whole lot (she's a big fan of sitting), but we know she can!

I can't believe how much she has changed between this pic (in January) and now!






Grandma & Grandpa Woody made it out to visit a couple of times. This is a rare moment for Izzie, she hardly ever sleeps outside of her crib.
One big thing we got checked off our list this past winter was we painted our vaulted ceiling in the living room! This is Kyle priming it---it was kind of a hassle to paint but SO worth it to have nice bright ceiling through the winter. We also painted that wall behind him bright blue, I'll post an "after-shot" later.....
