Sad Story...

So our fabulous mac stopped working a couple of days ago, and that is the computer I use all the time, it has our pictures on it and everything. So while we are waiting to get it fixed I have to use Brian's laptop. I now know that I for sure prefer mac over pc. Anyway, I tried hooking my camera up to this computer but it won't download the pictures, so until I figure that out I thought I would give a little update. By the way, my mac not working is my sad story. We have been busy, working and spending time as a family. We had a lot of fun on Monday going bike riding with Brian's parents, the girls loved it, and it was super cute to see Autumn in a helmet. She wasn't too fond of it at first but once we started moving she was happy. We also had the misfortune of teaching Lily a not so nice word...stupid. I don't like the word, but sometimes when Brian and I are driving, there are some drivers we just don't understand. I cut everyone some slack until we pass a speed limit sign, then I figure they should probably know the speed limit. I mean really if you want to drive 25 in a 45 or 55 speed limit zone you should probably find an alternate route, it is just dangerous not to obey the speed limit not only for that vehicle but for other vehicles following the law. Well, there was a one such occurrence lately where I think we got cut off by the slowest driver imaginable, and we may have said "that was stupid". So the girls were in quiet time playing, and Lily wanted to be done. The only way I let them out of quiet time is if they clean up their room. Well usually Lily and Cloey are fine with that and they clean up all their toys, fold their blankets...this time Lily didn't feel like it and she said "Quiet time is stupid". I about died, my first reaction was, where did she learn that word, then oh man it was her parents, then well it was kind of funny...then I had to tell her that we shouldn't use that word. She then promptly changed her sentence to "I don't like quiet time." I called Brian and let him know what she had said, and we both agreed that we should be more careful. Not that stupid is a very bad word, it just sound terrible coming from a 4 year old's mouth. Well I will try to post some pictures sometime soon, and hopefully my mac gets better soon!

Cloey's First Haircut!

So my sweet Cloey...what can I say...Well she is prone to hitting her head and getting nice bruises(see previous post). She will be walking and turn to look at something and before she knows it she turns to look forward again and she has run into something, or she is running and trips into another something. Nevertheless, it seems she always has a bruise on her noggin', and I was tired of worrying that people might think that she doesn't have very loving parents. So I gave he bangs before we went to church yesterday, and I think she looks soo adorable! It is the first time she has had her hair cut, since there isn't much there yet. So here is our sweet little clumsy girl with bangs! (I just looked at the pictures again, and they look better in person)

My Pretty Girls!

Yes, I am aware that Cloey has a bruise on both sides of her forehead. I swear people probably think we are abusive parents because of her, she is constantly getting distracted and either falling or running into walls, which I witnessed for one of the bruises, but have no clue where the other one came from!

So...our girls are too smart for their own good. We have latch on their closet door because they like to pull all of their clothes off the hangers and try them on and so on and so forth. Well we store our lettermans jackets, my wedding dress, and my wedding veil in their closet because it has the most room. Saturday the girls were in quiet time(they don't take naps anymore so they play in their room during the afternoon so mom can have a mommy time) and all of a sudden Brian and I here these weird "dunk" noise from their room. Lily and Cloey had pushed their toy box over to the closet, stood on the toy box, and unlatched the closet doors. Needless to say the "dunk" noises were the hangers hitting the wall as all of their clothes got taken down. Well they also found my veil, luckily it was tied in the bag so they couldn't get at it but that night we took some fun pictures of the girls in my veil. They felt like little princesses and kept telling us how pretty they were. And they are soooo cute! 

My First Duathlon

So my friend Megan and I did our first duathlon together. Well sort of, I had skinned my knee pretty good the night before at our co-ed indoor soccer game and it hurt to bend it or kneel on it. So you can guess how that felt...then we accidently started biking up the wrong rode...then after getting on the right road(Bogus Basin) my bike just got too heavy(I was using a mountain bike that wasn't made for road races and was stinkin' heavy) so Megan took her 2lb bike and pushed onward while I was force to walk the bike up. But I finished and I am happy to say that I now know what I need to do for the next time! For sure get a better bike and maybe not skin the knee?!
