WhooAhh...deep sea diver!
We found video of Bobby hard at work in Hawaii. I have to thank CH for the link, and now it is being shared with all of those who blog! I will get around to posting about our trip to the great northeast when I find time to sort it all out in my head! Maybe next week sometime!

Becky the biker!
Finishing the run!

Post race relaxing!

My little cheerleader!

So Silly Lilly!

Peak-a-boo!

your still taking photos?!

Nelson Bay 2009

So, I did it...I finally competed in a race....it's only been 2.5 years! And, if I do say so myself, it went pretty well. It was a short one; only 750 swim, 12 bike, and 5k run, but I finished 3rd female and 8th overall! No need for a race report, but I will say I think the bike was my best yet, must be all of the spin classes I've been teaching. I had my full support crew there; Fitz and Lilly came for the race then headed to a 1st b-day party, and my folks were there (thanks guys)! It was also nice to catch up with tri folks I have not seen in a while! Here are some photos from the event!

Just a few recent photos of Miss Lilly.

We are enjoying watching Lilly change each day; her recent accomplishments are throwing a ball, rolling a ball, bring her towel to the bath tub when asked, signing "all done", stacking blocks and a super cool toy from Leah and Paul, climb on everything, and will pick up her bike helmet when she wants to go for a ride. We are still working on potty training so when we visit Uncle Bobby in Hawaii over Christmas she will be able to just go in the potty! Hope everyone enjoys their weekend ahead, and to the family we will be seeing next week; we can't wait to see you guys!

Seaweed Head

Today Lilly and I had sometime to kill, so we stopped by the boat ramp access that is on the sound side so Lilly could burn off some energy before naptime. She first played with the pansy's in pots before we made it toward the water. Lilly loves to have her toes in the sand or the water so it was a great place for her. She kept picking up shells and rocks and showing them to me before "pretending" to lick them, then laughing at herself! After a few minutes she spotted some seaweed on the beach. I don't think we have come across seaweed on the beach in our adventures yet, but she was not afraid. She picked it right up and proceeded to carry it around for the rest of our time at the sound. I then made the mistake of saying, "seaweed head, seaweed head, Lilly is a seaweed head".....she then took the seaweed and put it on her head. At least I know she understands what I'm saying. I sure wish I had brought my camera along so I could have gotten a photo. Oh well! We are looking forward to a busy 5 weeks coming....starting with a small local tri for me, and a birthday party for Lilly and Fitz!! Can't wait to post photos of all of our adventures.

Easter Lilly Photo

We just got this photo via email; it's from the Easter Egg Hunt from the hunt we attended in PKS with some of our playgroup friends. Lilly was still long enough to snap this photo, but not too much more. We are enjoying the nice weather these days, and hope to have more new photos up soon.

No new pictures, but an update none-the-less!

We have had more busy times in the Fitzula household. Where do I begin, last week I got to teach the cycling class at the local gym every other day (due to people needing subs). I taught Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and today (Monday)....AHHHH! It was alittle much, but at least I found time to make a new cd. Also, I have been helping out with my high schools track team over the past few months, and on Thursday we had our conference meet. My kids did so great...I am so proud of them. We had our boys go 1,2,3 in the 3200M, and lots of kids qualify for regionals during the meet. I can't wait to watch them run....and not have to help at the meet.

 Lilly has taken to "blowing kisses" her own way, but it's very cute. What is not so cute it the stomach bug Lilly picked up and caused quite a mess during an episode in the car....YUCK, YUCK, big YUCK! Lilly has also really taken to our neighbors little girl, Heather. She is 6 and an only child, but she seems to love Lilly as much as Lilly loves her. She even told her parents that if anything happened to them, she would come and live with us and be Lilly's big sister (to cute)! We have been spending alot of time outside, and that is by far Lilly's favorite place to be.  Sometimes she stands at the back door when it's open (only the storm door closed) and just stares out until I get the chance to take her out. Her other new accomplishments are hugs on command (she will even pat you on the back), dancing all of the time, having conversations, and of course being the cutest baby EVER!!

In garden news, we have tomatoes, lettuce, beans, corn, watermelon, squash, onions, cukes, okra, carrots, and a few randoms that grew up from our compost pile. Can't wait to see how it all turns out at the end of the season! 

Fitz is home all week this week, and we love having him home. Lilly is so cute with him! I know he loves being here with her and being able to see her change each day!
