Ragnar Del Sol

M and I did the Ragnar in Phoenix last weekend. It was so much fun!! It is such a great sense of accomplishment for me! Here are some of the pics:

Before my first run. I was runner number 7 on our team of 12 so I went first in our car.

Whole team photo. Seriously such a fun group of people! And we had an awesome team name. "Who's your roadkill?"
Here are the runners in our car at the finish line.
Success!! My last run was a BEAST of up and down hills. I hadn't trained on hills because my run got changed a week before the race so I felt awesome finishing it...other than the burning legs :)
I finished at least 5 minutes under my projected times every run which was great for me. I'm still a slow runner, but I beat my usual time so that was good.

New Skirt Design

I saw a similar skirt on Matilda Jane's website, but it was very expensive and way more funky. So I thought I would make a similar one.

This is the left pocket of the skirt. I am in love with this fabric!

From the front.

Cute E Pics

I'm feeling a little guilty about not having any pictures of B lately. But it must be that I am at home most of the day with E so I catch her doing cute things:
She's got her babies and her stuffed animals all lined up reading them books.
It's kind of hard to tell in the picture, but she has on a shirt, skirt, apron, cap, shiny slippers, and a pirates hat on. Not quite sure what she was playing :)

My Curly Sue

E has got the most amazing curls! I'm a little sad because it looks like they might be growing out. But I wanted to document this.

Not her best smile. I made that shirt btw.
I couldn't get her to hold still for long enough to take a picture, but you can still see those awesome curls... and the line where I think it's growing out. Boo!

Our House Through E's Eyes

E wanted to take some pictures this morning. She wandered around the house for about 5 minutes and took 55 pictures. These were her best work!

Her bedroom doorknob

Pictures in our entry way
Leftovers from breakfast (we had ebleskievers)
I guess this is how she views a lamp. Not looking down on the shade, but up at the light bulb.
Lollipops from our favorite store that I haven't put away yet.

Maui Wowee

M surprised me this Christmas with a trip to Maui. Isn't he the best husband?!? We went there on our honeymoon and on our one year anniversary but it was miserable because I was pregnant with B. On our first Anniversary, not our honeymoon. :)

This was a medium size shaved ice!

The waves from Kapalua Bay. I was trying to take a picture of a turtle but obviously didn't succeed.
We did the "Road to Hana" for our first time. It was pretty cool! We went to a black sand beach.
Self portrait. This was by a waterfall we saw on the road to Hana.
