Happy Birthday McKenzie and Here's to a Great Weekend...

We love you McKenzie and words don't do justice to how much joy you bring into our lives. You really are an amazing kid. Happy Birthday!

Grandma Liz came to visit again and we had a good time. She was here for a little mother daughter date night, some grandma time with the girls, and of course to help celebrate McKenzie turning 4!

My mom and I saw Wicked on Friday night in SF. I haven't decided which would be my dream role: Elphaba or Galinda. Did I mention how much I LOVE this show?! My mom had a great time too!


And yes..I am such a nerd that my mom even bought me a shirt.

Brynn also enjoyed wearing something cute this weekend. We walked into the garage and found her like this. She loves to "go shopping." She puts stuff (anything she can find) into her cart and pushes it around the garage for as long as you will let her. Oh, and she would also wear those Minnie ears all day if she could! I am guessing McKenzie put the backpack on her.

Another highlight of the weekend was my Saturday morning run. Because of my training and awesome running pals I have been able to run in some pretty incredible places. The destination this weekend was Lake Chabot in the east bay hills. It was a very challenging yet rewarding trail run that went around the lake. Half the battle of training for long distance races is getting to the starting line. This weekend's run reminded me never to give up. There is beauty in running, literally.
And after Grandma left we had more visitors! Evan's brother, Boz and his family, came over for dinner and cake. McKenzie had fun with her cousins! Here is Kenzie and Elyette hanging out:
