Tooth Fairy Visit

We have been keeping the Tooth Fairy busy this year. She visited our home again last night for the 4th time this year; however, this time her visit was for Lily. Lily lost her 1st tooth! Congratulations Sweetie!

Sweet and Sassy

Tara and Lily were invited to a birthday party today and what a fantastic time they had. The party was held at a girl salon/spa called Sweet and Sassy. It started with each of them picking out a glamorous dress, followed by hair, make-up and nails. They both picked out the "rock star" hair style. Once all the girls had their hair and make-up done they did a fashion show for the parents. Each girl modeling their dress and hairstyle on a runway. Tara enjoyed having her hair done and Lily beamed during the fashion show. They both looked beautiful; however, I must say I had a pit in my stomach wondering what it will be like when they are 16.

Whiskey Row Marathon Weekend

The girls and I went to Prescott this weekend for the Whiskey Row Marathon. Our weekend started with a bang, literally. We had a tire blow out 5 miles north of Anthem. Michael came to our rescue. He put the spare tire on and we drove back to Anthem and got a new tire from Discount Tire. We ate some dinner and we were back on the road. All was well... just a 4 1/2 hour delay we were not planning.

Tara, Lily, Aunt Leslie, Isabel and I participated in the 2 Mile Fun Run/Walk. We were among the top 400 finishers earning a ribbon. The girls were excited about the ribbon.

Mary and Will participated in the 10k. Will (12 years old) finished the race in 1:03, which was a personal record for him. Way to go Will!! Mary finished in 1:10 and placed 143 out of 319 female racers. You are awesome Mary!!

Saturday evening was a surprise birthday celebration for Lily. She was most excited. Thank you everyone for making her day so special.

We had a great weekend!
