Our Brazilian Baby

Maya received this outfit from Grandma and Grandpa Bertasso,who are in Brazil on a mission. I just thought she looked so cute in the pics and had to share them. The one with her tongue out is her new thing that she does. She is constantly sticking it out half-way. It is not the most flattering thing she does, but it is so cute!!

Giving this blog thing a try!!

So, David was the one who set up this blog and I figured that he could be the one to do all of the writing. But I have found that I want to be able to add my own thoughts, so I am learning the ropes. I am somewhat afraid to do this, because David is the better writer and I am worried that my posts will all be really boring. But then again, maybe my personality is boring and so that is why. (You know how when people write, it reads/sounds just like they talk? Well, maybe my writing is boring, because I am boring!! ahhhh!!!!) I guess I will just have to get over it, right?!! So, sorry if my posts are boring, I am going to try to make them as entertaining as possible. Then again, most of my posts will be about my kids, since I think they are so cute and funny. So, I hope you enjoy. ( I use the word "so" a lot, huh?!!)

First race of the year

I did compete in a race on New Year's Day in Boise. It was 18 degrees at the starting line, and there was still some snow and ice on the course. Luckily, no falls or frostbite! I ended up finishing in 25:35 -- not great, but not awful for a pace. It will certainly give me something to improve on this year. (And I did place second in my age group! I wonder if that just means I am getting old!)

Results are here (for overall) and here (by age group), and pictures (if you really want to buy one of me) are here - I was bib number 108. Feel free to post the results from your first race of the year in the comments.
