Savers - you have earned your name!

Check out my finds at Savers!!! The pictures don't do them justice, but I swear I'm never buying clothes at full price again - these are practically brand new!!!

Blue skirt from Charlotte Rouse: $6.99

Pink skirt from H&M!! (P.S. H&M is coming here!): $7.99

White skirt (because my other one had a giant hole in it): $ 5.99 (I had to sew it to fit me a little better, but it's as good as new now!)

GRAND TOTAL FOR 3 SKIRTS: $20.97

I know you're jealous...

St. George Round II

Yep, we went back. The unbelievably wet and cold weather in Salt Lake is driving us nuts, so why not head down south where the weather is BEAUTIFUL!? This time we were lucky enough to spend the weekend with the Linthorst clan.

Despite my best efforts to get some pictures, I ended up with only a couple - as always.

The boys (minus Isaac):

The girls (minus Mia):

We had TONS of fun and a big thanks to the Linthorsts for EVERYTHING!!!

P.S. Actual text from Nick the day after we got home, "I miss Baby Mia and the sun, in that order."

(See my previous post? That's baby Mia)

I didn't even make it on the list - granted I'm not nearly as cute as that smiley girl!

Love these kidlets

You are an Ironman!!!

As the athletes crossed the finish line, the announcer shouted, "[NAME] YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!!!" Although I've never wanted to do an Ironman, I so badly want someone to yell, "Elizabeth Swensen, you are an IRONMAN!" Nick was kind and shouted it for me, but for some reason it just didn't feel real. Haha

We spend the weekend in St. George's 92 degree, not a cloud in the sky weather to cheer on the crazy, insane, but awesome Ironman runners.

We rode bikes from my Uncle's house into town:

Checked out the finish line (at 4:30 hours, no one had arrived yet...)

Watched bikers come in and transition to running. Then cheered on the first Ironman at 8 hours 31 minutes. The crowd was wild! He didn't even look phased after swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles (on the hardest hill course in the world), and running 26.2 miles.

We then went to dinner and came back to cheer on some of the 'normal' racers (ie: not freakish-like guys who finish in under 9 hours!), into the night. The cutoff time was midnight. They started at 7 in the morning and 12 hours later were still going at it! 12+ hours of high intensity exercise - painful!

We spent the weekend soaking in the sun, biking lots, swimming, and wishing we were cool enough (or crazy enough) to be Ironmen!!! For now, I'll just stick with the Ragnar being my Ironman race...

In honor of no sugar May...

Keep in mind it's been 4 days...

Here comes Peter Cottontail

The Easter Bunny found his way to the Linthorst house while I was watching Milo dog for the week!

Somehow he knew I was going to Florida this summer and brought me lots of beach things including a darling hat, beach towel, sunscreen for my poor white skin, a darling tote, and m&ms (just because you always need those!).

He brought Nick some of his FAVORITE Easter candies and introductory diving lessons for both of us (Thank you groupon, although I'm not sure why I bought one for me - that means I've actually got to do it! Haha)

We made Easter eggs for the Linthorst kids to welcome them home:

(Left to right: Owen, spencer, Sophie, Lucy, and Mia)

I thought we looked cute so I had to beg for a picture, but of course we got a bunch of these:

Before Nick decided to smile for real:

(Neither of us are very good at opening our eyes though...)

Happy Easter!
