Marathon

Everyone in life needs a goal, something to be proud of and feel accomplished when they finish. Well I have decided to try to run the St. George Marathon in 2009. I figured that a year was enough time to get in shape and be able to run 26.2 miles. My friend Aly runs the marathon every year and not knowing anything about marathons she filled me in on the ins and outs. Let me just tell you I had know idea what a toll it takes on your body. Lost toenails, blisters, and chafing are a given but do you know about the diarrhea and bloody nipples. My god these poor people are running with no toenails and bleeding from every part of their body not to mention having to run to the port-a-john every ten minutes where you know what the person before you just did in there. Needless to say I may be rethinking my goal of 2009. I really like my toenails and my nipples and would like them to stay attached to my body. Running a marathon may not be for me but I think training for it will do my waistline some good. So I will continue running (actually briefly running in between walking) and who knows I may think the diarrhea is worth it after all.

We went to the animal expo at Liberty park on sunday it was fun and free, even better.

Addisons first Lagoon trip

We took Addison on her first trip to Lagoon. She loved it! I don't think she blinked once. Her cousins Preslee and Marlee came with us and they had a great time.

Byron and Addison rode the
carousel together.

Lagoon was really busy that day so we had to wait an hour to get on the train. They have alot of new animals, even miniature donkeys.

Preslee, Marlee, Tressa, Melissa and Zach were on the train with us.

Junglegym

Addison is obsessed with climbing. The bar stools are her jungle gym she climbs under them and hides. Clyde likes to sleep there so I always know when she is playing on them because he darts out of the room.

Camo

Grandpa Rodgers came home from Iraq this month so we bought this cute camo outfit that she wore when she saw him. She looked so cute!

Addisons Ride

We gave this to little car to Addison for her birthday. She can sit and ride or stand and walk but she refuses to walk with it I think it scares her. It has little toys on it and a trunk that we find missing socks and other small toys. She will only scoot backwards on it and she gets so mad when she backs into the wall and can't figure out how to move it.

Addisons First Birthday Party 3/21/08

We had a few friends and family over for cake and ice cream. Her Tinkerbell cake from target was adorable but she would not eat it. I finally gave up and smashed her hand in it.
