Nap time too short

I am sure Lylia will wake up any moment. It seems that I only find enough time to jump on here when I know Lylia isn't going to wake up in the next few minutes. Last weekend we went to the DST Dew Tour in Salt Lake City. Justin won tickets for doing a bike trick on a borrowed bike. Well he was looking so forward to it that we couldn't disappoint. I had my jogging class at 8 am and decided that we would all go and just hang out in Salt Lake for the day.
My jogging class is a lot of work, but I can tell a small difference already. My teacher is older in age and so I pretty much feel that if she can do it, so can I. I think they made her a jogging teacher to detour people from dropping the class due to not feeling like we can do it. We went to the farmer's market and bought some really yummy raspberries which were all gone in 10 minutes. We then decided to make our way over to the event. I get free parking usually at the BYU center because of my class, but as we pulled up and I showed my id the girl said that everyone has to pay $5. I refused and we turned around. We came back and luckily there was a guy near by who looked more in charge, so I screamed out the window as he was walking away, and asked him that if I had a class that day if I was allowed to park for free. He said sure, and the girl opened the gate immediately. Justin and I agree that she didn't know what she was talking about. We were a little bitter for about 10 minutes but got over it as we stood in long lines all day. We went last year and I know there weren't as many people there as there were this year. We were waiting to get into see the BMX riders because that is what Justin's loves, well we were standing there for about an hour, and I had to go and feed Lylia. They kept telling everyone in the line that it was full and that tickets didn't gaurantee seating, which to me is ridiculous. So instead we buy tickets to watch a bunch of immodest people drinking beer and smoking. Yeah right! Well I guess right after I left Justin got in. I am glad that atleast one of us saw something. On our way out though, we ran into Elf, who is a professional rider here in Utah. I was so proud actually because I spotted him and pointed him out to Justin. Look at me! Who would have thought I would recognize a professional bmxer. Not me! Anyway so here is a proud picture of Justin with him.
We had a good time as a family walking around!

It still cracks me up that Justin is so into BMXing. He just doesn't fit the usual profile! I'm glad that you got to go and have a fun time together. I love the picture of you and Lylia. She looks so cute in her little hat. She is getting so big...I can't stand it! Give her a big smoochie kiss for me.

Lylia is getting so big! She can almost lift herself up off the ground while on her tummy. Its great! I love her little hat too! So cute! She didn't seem to mind it either which worked well. Tell me about it, Justin doesn't look like the bmxer type at all. Which I am sure you and I are both glad about!
