Monkey See, Monkey Do

McKenzie doing Yoga
Brynn copying McKenzie (extra tricky with toothpaste in her mouth)


If McKenzie stands on her head, so does Brynn. If McKenzie smiles pretty for the camera, so does Brynn. It is pretty funny to watch her copy her big sister. In McKenzie's prayer last night she included "thank you for letting me be such a good sample to Brynn." You are a good example Kenzo, (even if you can't say it.)

Wish List



I found this list the other day and asked McKenzie about it. She had written it all by herself hoping to send it off to Santa. For Christmas she wants:

Pretend Make-up (which is kind of a relief since she only ever wants to play sports and "be cool, not pretty")

Tools (brings me back to my previous point)

Pretend Mixer for her kitchen

The Movie "Up"

And a few other items... I think Santa can handle this list. Phew.

Dear McKenzie and Brynn,
Please stop growing up. Your mommy wants you to stay little forever.

A Marathon Weekend

Here are some pictures of our trip to St. George and Las Vegas.

The St. George temple:


At the Expo picking up my race bib the day before:
Checking out the finish line on Friday... getting pumped:

Me and Joni at the starting line (yep, I stole a proof pic from the website). It was abt 32 degrees at the starting line so we were very cold! We stripped off some of our clothes at the VERY last second. The rest of the layers we just threw on side of the road as we ran. The race officials picked them up for us. It was so much fun being with Joni. She is a great runner and a special friend!
Coming into the last quarter mile stretch:
Getting ready to actually cross the finish line:
What a feeling!

The sea of people after the race: Two kids later, I finally conquered this marathon.

After cleaning up and eating at Cafe Rio (a Utah favorite), we headed down to Las Vegas. We stayed at the Trump Towers.

We even saw a show called Le Reve. It is a really beautiful and awesome water show with acrobats, etc.

Here he is, THE BEST HUSBAND EVER!! He was an amazing supporter the entire weekend. It was fun to celebrate in Vegas with him. Here we are out to dinner before the show:
Then we headed home on Sunday. We were greeted with this cute sign:

And these wonderful faces:

It was a successful trip!
