3 years!

Mari turned 3 a month ago. I cannot believe that time has flown by so fast. She was just my little baby, and now she's a little adult. She has been the funnest little girl. She has always been such a good girl, even from day one. Don't get me wrong she has her moments, but for the most part she is an angel. She keeps me laughing everyday, and she is such a cuddlebug.

I am not the most creative person, but I told Mari she could choose whatever kind of cake she wanted, and I would try to make it. I figured sometimes they will work out, other times we can have a good laugh. She chose a princess cake. I tried and laughed while I made this. But she thought it was the coolest cake ever. Her reaction made it well worth it.

Mari's Birthday fell on the day that Matt ran the St. George Marathon. I somehow talked him into driving to California after so we could go to Disneyland. We went with my sister, her family, and my Mom and Dad. We had the best time. Disneyland was decorated for Halloween, which got Mari excited to dress up this year. The girls had 3 full days of Disneyland, while the boys went 2 days and met Matt's Dad and Nephew at Magic Mountain for a day. Mari was so excited, she still talks about turning 3 in Disneyland.

My highlight was seeing David Beckham. Yes, he was there I saw him a couple of times, and he is cuter in real life!

After Disneyland we went to San Diego to visit Matt's parents. The weather was so perfect and the girls both loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa (and Great Grandpa/ma). We spent alot of the time down at La Jolla Cove. It was fun to hang out with family and friends. We were all sad to come home to cold Utah.

Marathon

I know this is way late, but I had to give my husband and Brother in law a shout out. They finished the St. George Marathon in October!! Matt was worried that an ankle injury would stop him, but I knew better. I have never met anybody who can run a marathon (26.2 miles) without training beforehand. I think he is amazing!! He has inspired me to start running. Anybody who knows me knows I am not a runner. I am going to give it a go. My goal is to run a half marathon next year. I'm up to 3 miles right now!

Happy Halloween!

We had the best Halloween; it was a perfect day. We started out the day tricking or treating at Matt's work. Mari got so much candy due to the fact that she only had to walk 5 feet to the next person's desk. She thought that was the trick or treating I had been hyping up. When I told her we were going to go "real" trick or treating with her cousins Haley and Carter, she didn't know what to do with herself. Earlier in the week Matt and I went to a party dressed as Milli Vanilli, but sadly we forgot to take pictures. You know your getting old when your baby sitter doesn't have a clue who Milli Vanilli is. This season I saw alot of great costumes, but I have to give two prizes this year; one to my husband Matt (Dwight Shrute Bobblehead) and one to my sister Stephani (Yo Gabba Gabba). They both had me laughing so hard.
