We have been running since we had our kids - in every way! Life is like a marathon - full of uphills and downhills, water stops, taking the time to stretch, beautiful views, fast sprints, slow walks, and yes, sore muscles. But we are thankful for all of it because when we reach the finish line at the end of each day we know that it was all worth it!

Lucie's "Cake Off Bake Off"

It was time to celebrate with family...   
Lucie wanted to do a contest and had the idea to do a"Family Bake Off."  
It was awesome to see what everyone did to try to win her over. 
(Little did everyone know that Lucie is not a fan of frosting!)
Of course she was the judge and chose the other judgeto be Annika, her favorite cousin.  
We also had a "Dance Off" with everyone.  
Rya's Uncle Daniel aka "Michael Jackson"and
Aunt Amanda blew us away with their dance moves! 

















And the WINNER is...  Aunt Amanda's Corn Pops!  
(Lucie loves popcorn more than life itself!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCIE BIRD!

 Lucie, you are the butter on our popcorn, 
the toothpaste on our toothbrush, 
and the frosting on our cake!  
Never stop being the giggly girl that you are!
