the christensen's: Carlsbad Half- Marathon

We DID it!!! Our first half-marathon was a success:) We ran the Carlsbad half marathon in January. We started and finished together and helped each other keep going along the way. Our time was 2:17 minutes which is fine with me for our first time, and me just having a c- section and baby ten months before hand. A big thanks to my mom and the Comptons for watching our kids for the weekend. We were also able to get away childless and celebrate six years of marital bliss:) lol. We ran it with my sister in law and Stew's parents. Everyone did great and it was a fun accomplishment.

The funny things Miss Ella says

Stewart and I were trying to decide what to do with Ella so we were spelling out words. We talked about going to the p-a-r-k! We didn't even think she was paying attention. In the car she says, " I want to go to the p-r-ck and play." I don't even know how she knew what we were spelling. A few letter off but that is pretty good:)

We asked Ella if she wanted to go get ice cream after the park and she said, " I want strawberry ice cream with sprinklers."

We were shopping and I said to Ella, "you are a monkey," and she looked at me and said.... " I not a monkey I a child of God!"

Stewart and I are getting new phones in a few days. Yesterday I said to him, "guess what we get in just a few more days?", and Ella says to me (very excited) "PRESENTS."

The other night I was getting Ella ready for bed. I was brushing Ella's teeth in the bathroom and she was acting really silly so I called her a tool. She says to me, " no, I a hammer:)"

Ella's fav pastime is reading books. My Mom got her a book about the Nativity. We were reading it and she was pointing everyone out. She then pointed to one of the wise men with a white beard and said, "this king Triton." (The little mermaid)
