~William was swimming in Scottsdale at the exact same time as Lily was skiing in Flagstaff. Ryan treated Lily to a father/daughter ski day - I'm not sure which one had more fun, but the stories of Lily rocking moguls while Ryan tried to film it (and then crashing himself!) are pretty entertaining. <br />

It was meant to be though, as the PHX marathon was a perfect race day for me. 40 degrees outside, and a downhill start (which required me to actually pay attention to pace - way too fast starts all around and a mantra of "run your own race, stop trying to race everyone else"), followed by a pancake flat second half. It was a near perfect race which ended with a Boston qualify, a personal best time, and an overall enjoyable run! </span></span></div>

I took the year off due to a big race the following weekend (and the fact that I'm really not that much help anyway). After a morning of lessons with our great friends the Dupey's, Lily was ready to take on the mountain, easily rode the blues and even took on a few easy blacks. That girl continues to amaze us on the slopes! </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Before leaving for Kansas, we had a family gift exchange at home. ~lots (and lots) of homemade gifts for Ryan and I ~ a big boy bike for William who has been training-wheel-free for a few months ~ and a craft "file cabinet" for Lily, filled with new papers/pens/pencils/scissors/hole punch/electric pencil sharpener/etc. Both were thrilled with their gifts!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then we were off to Kansas for the holiday weekend. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, the most wonderful night spent in Kansas City. Uncle John met us at the airport with Luke and Reece, packed up our suitcases plus Lily and William, and were off to Nanny's house. Ryan and I took an uber to Auntie and Uncle Casey's house (who were in TX visiting his family) and spent an afternoon exploring our old neighborhood in Prairie Village. To have one entire afternoon/overnight to ourselves was priceless and we are so thankful to family who offered (and without us even asking!!) to give us a night off. It was truly the best gift!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But the best part of our overnight stay...finally meeting Wyatt Michael. This boy has a special place in our hearts. His mama, Kelly, is one of my dearest college friends. We bonded at the beginning of our junior year over broken hearts. We remained friends post college due to our strong, assertive personalities, our love for books, wine, 'real' talks, travel, and true friendship, with all it's ups and downs. She is better with words and would write something more eloquent, but let's just say, we are the best of friends. And the fact that Ryan and Adam seem to have a fun bromance going on makes life ever better for us! Wyatt Michael - we are thrilled to meet you and are looking forward to years of spoiling you rotten.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Grandma and Grandpa O took the kiddos over to Aunt Mary's for a family breakfast and lots of playtime with Seattle cousins Elise and Gabriel, and Kansas City cousin Barrett. Lily and William had a blast and wish these kiddos would make another trek to AZ for a visit. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Saylor Christmas Eve/Christmas morning. After not bringing my camera home last year, I promised myself I would do a better job photographing the family, especially with Mema who is 89 years young! Nanny hosted a delicious meal which was enjoyed at leisure around the dining room table. My favorite night of the year - telling family stories, catching up with cousins we don't see often enough, just enjoying each other's company while eating delicious food and drinking amazing wine!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After a fun morning playing with our buddy James at the train park, William took a spill jumping off flower boxes. I tried two different urgent cares who wouldn't see him for various reasons before just driving to the Emergency Room. A little glue and two hours later, he was all patched up and ready to go back to the life of crazy, ornery four year old boy. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">William told his sister all about his day, going on and on about how brave he was and how the nurse rewarded him with a new hot wheel car because he was so good. However, he failed to mention the part when he gagged on his tears and threw up all over me. Guess that slipped his mind! :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: center;">A month later, it's healed nicely and he is very proud of his scar! </span><br />

Mom and I decided we'd take the kids to San Diego for the week to enjoy the beach and the gorgeous weather. Once our trip was booked, Ryan and Dad quickly cleared their schedule for a few days to join...shortly followed by Mallory and Casey. Our family likes to travel together and never wants to be left out of a fun vacation! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We had the kids to ourselves for the first half of the week and just bummed around town. Lots of time at the beach, a quick trip to La Jolla to see the seals, and exploring our home base of Del Mar (scoping out and trying all the restaurants is Nanny and I's favorite thing to do!). But the real fun started for Lily and William once the boys arrived. Beach baseball, Papa hopping and chasing the waves, evening sunsets playing in the water (after baths!!), and all the fun that comes with a week at the beach. We loved Del Mar and can't wait to go back!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">August 8th 2016 - First day of 2nd grade was a great success. Lily and I walked by ourselves and chatted about how it was ok to be nervous, how she is always scared the first day but always ends up loving school, etc. After a brave front, she teared up once it was time for me to leave. But upon pick-up..."Mom, it was the BEST day. Mr Robinson is the BEST teacher. And I saw all my friends! I can't wait to go back tomorrow!" Lily is having the best year and we've never seen her happier or more confident. It's going to be a great year!! </span></div>

Balloons first thing in the morning and a gorgeous poster Lily created, followed by his second day of school. His teachers greeted him with a birthday crown and he shared fruit snacks with all his friends. After Daddy was home from work, lots of fun birthday gifts and of course a cake rounded out a perfect day for our special 4 year old. </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. What is your favorite personality trait? William is absolutely the sweetest boy and loves his mommy more than anything in the world. He is such an actor and loves to be the center of attention and life of our family. He is definitely showing an ornery boy streak though!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. What is your favorite memory this year? William has a very best friend, James, and has developed the sweetest friendship. I've loved watching him show camaraderie, empathy, and a strong bond with a friend as such a young age. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. What is your favorite book to read together? Anything with trains, planes, or automobiles. William doesn't have a favorite but loves to read books together. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. What is your favorite activity to do together? The train park. While his big sister loved this favorite venue, it is truly William's happy place. We have a routine each time - first the train, then the carousel, the train table, and finally the train museum. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

What is the most difficult part of parenting this year? William has always been "all boy" and the older and bigger he gets, the louder and more destructive he is. The noise and messes drive me a little batty!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6. What is the best part of parenting this year? My favorite part of parenting William this year is just watching him grow from a toddler to a little boy. He is developing opinions and preferences which he is loud and clear on, but he is still so sweet and loving. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: xx-small;">7. What is your favorite song William sings? He still loves "Shut up and dance with me" and is known to bust it out at school, the park, etc. Not very appropriate for a 4 year old, but pretty cute!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">9. What is one parenting trait you wish to improve. Saying no to William and following through. It's often easier to just give in to him, especially when he snuggles and gives me that sweet smile. The other day, he asked me to hold him when he really should have walked himself...I asked him why he needed me to carry him and he said "because Mommy. I just love you so much!" How can you say no to that?!?!</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">10. Any last thoughts? We love you William Tommy more than words. Your sense of humor, your love for life, and your silliness make each and every one of us so very happy. </span></span><br />

<u style="color: #333333;">Thoughts from Daddy:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333;">1. What is your favorite personality trait? His orneriness and his warmth…he can be goofy when he wants to be and never fails to put a smile on your face, but he’s also a lover and loves his snuggles. He definitely brightens up our days!</span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333;">2. What is your favorite memory this year? Taking him to spring training baseball. He’s at an age where he understands what is going on and he was so interested in the Royals practices. And now, every day when I get home from work (literally), he wants to play catch or hit in the backyard. “Dad, you ready to play baseball???” </span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333;">3. What is your favorite book to read together? I don’t have a favorite to read with him b/c he’s not the reader that his sister is, so he doesn’t seem to have a “favorite” book. But I love when we go to his room for bedtime, picks out a book, and w/o fail, says, “Oh Dad, we have to read this one – we haven’t read this one before!”…he gets so excited. </span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333;">4. What is your favorite activity to do together? Playing baseball in the backyard or in the cul-de-sac. He takes it so serious – taps the bat on “home plate” before the pitch comes in, when he hits it, runs the bases to celebrate his “home run,” and then slides every time he crosses the plate. Love seeing him so passionate about something. </span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333;">5. What is the most difficult part of parenting this year? Although he is typically in a great mood, this boy also has a major stubborn streak. Unfortunately, I know exactly where he gets it from, so it’s hard for me to deal with. We butt heads fairly often, and I’m sure that will continue as he gets older. </span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333;">6. What is the best part of parenting this year? Seeing him experience new things and really understand what’s going on and being able to communicate with us how he feels. At this age, he is able to express his feelings in a much better way, and it’s great to share those experiences with him. </span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: xx-small;">7. What is your favorite song William sings? All of them! I know that is the easy answer, but honestly, whenever I walk in on him or catch him just singing to himself – vacation bible songs, songs from the radio, commercials from TV – I love hearing all of it. Let’s me know he’s paying attention and retaining information :)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="color: #333333;">9. What is one parenting trait you wish to improve. With William, I would say to live each day like’s there is no tomorrow. He constantly wants to play together, and there are certain times I just don’t feel like it, or I’m too tired, etc. I want to live each moment being present with him – both kids really – but to remind myself to really enjoy these times. It goes too fast. </span><span style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: 15pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: xx-small;">10. Any last thoughts? William is such a joy and we are so lucky to have him in our lives. He is such a great piece to our family – he keeps things light, always making everyone laugh, even in those serious moments. He’s got a great sense of timing – knowing exactly when we need a little comic relief, or maybe just a hug. We love you more than anything William Tommy!!! </span></span></div>

Late July, we drove north to Payson for a family fun day hiking the Horton Creek Trail. Lily loves to hike and is always up for an adventure. William complained at first about hiking ("how much further!") until we found the creek. Lots of butterflies, sticks and throwing rocks into the water made for a fun morning!<br />

Before school started, we decided on a last minute 'staycation' at the Westin Kierland. Lily and William were the perfect age to enjoy the lazy river, water slide, and huge pool. After a delicious taco bar dinner on the patio and fun at Kids Club, both kiddos were ecstatic to spend the night in the 'fancy' hotel. A perfect getaway just minutes from our house! </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What made the trip to Kansas even more special...Lily stayed behind with her grandparents for six days all by herself. She had an AMAZING week. She played with Nanny, did Meals on Wheels and lots of lunches with Grandma, swam with cousin Maggie and spent time with Uncle Matt and Aunt Kristin. This is the #1 thing we regret and miss about moving away from Kansas...our children having everyday, normal experiences with their families...nothing extraordinary or out of this world, just comfortable, silly, laidback time with those who are number one in our lives. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lily had an incredible week, with just a few tears toward bedtime each night. Luckily her nanny was primed and ready with FaceTime and we all survived the days apart. But the reunion was pretty sweet....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After a quick night at home, we put Lily back into vacation mode and headed north, out of the heat, and into the amazing town of Flagstaff. Nanny and I had the kids to ourselves for a day and had fun driving through Bearizona. I wish videos translated well on the blog...William and his fear of rolling down our windows is an absolute treasure. Bear, buffalo, wolf, or tiny bird. It didn't matter, the rules said windows up and he was terrified any time we'd even put our fingers on the button. #dying laughing. #while he was absolutely petrified</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Once the boys joined us, we spent one day at the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Papa Kurt had been numerous times as a child, but Nanny had never seen it. We took the bus along the Rim route and were ALL amazed at this world's wonder. The beauty and magnitude are truly indescribable. And Ryan's tendency to lean the kids over the edge....divorce material, right there! :) Have I mentioned my fear of heights? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Speaking of which, we walked down the Bright Angle trail for maybe 100 yards (this was the trail I came up after hiking 25 miles from the north to the south rim...but we ended in pitch darkness and could not see behind, in front, or below us). I was completely freaked out at the steepness and the pitch of the drop off....Papa Kurt and I high tailed it outta there while the rest giggled at our nervousness and joined us at the top. Guess it was better I hiked in the dark??!??</span></div>

We are so lucky Nanny and Papa agreed to fly back with Lily so she could experience Kansas on her own and then we could all enjoy a family vacation in what Ryan and I call the "Colorado of Arizona"....we truly love Flagstaff and feel like it's our second AZ home. <br />

There truly is no place like home. Thankful Ryan and I can both call this beautiful part of the country as ours. This tiny town in NE Kansas is such an fun destination point for Lily and William. Fun with Grandma and Grandpa, playing on the 'farm', volunteering for Meals on Wheels (honestly Lily's favorite part of the trip!), seeing the horse and playing with the cat, just enjoying the freedom of grass and a big front yard. And lots of one on one time with Nanny, Papa Kurt, Uncle Matt/Aunt Kristin/Maggie/Sam. Priceless for two littles and their parents! </div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While 'helping' the family move Mema out of her apartment into assisted living (which as an 88 year old strong woman, she wasn't exactly thrilled about), Uncle Tom and I took a quick break to grab sandwiches for the crew. On our way, we stopped by Washburn to check out Tom and Pam's Christmas gift to Mema this past year. My grandmother, her college degree in 1949, followed up with a master's later in life, is truly an inspiration. For better or worse, Lily and I get part of our strong personality from Mema, but (and!!!) I am beyond thankful for her progressive nature, her liberal thoughts on women's rights and beyond, her 'absolutes' (ask Ryan, I am right even when I know I'm wrong), and her knowing what works for her and not being afraid or stifled over it. We have strong women on the Saylor side that we like to call Spirited Women, and the Trusdale women should be included in that category! I am so proud of all the strong women in our family.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A serious highlight for William is staying at Nanny and Papa Kurt's apartment in the Western Auto Building. He asks often if we can go to Nanny's "small house" so he can watch the trains go by from the kitchen windows. But a close second was riding the brand new Street Cars. I will admit, Ryan and I were pretty excited as well. We left Kansas City just as the downtown became a destination point and very much miss it. </span></div>

She had four special needs children in her first grade class, and she took it upon herself to walk these friends to lunch, help out in the classroom when they needed a little extra assistance, always talk kind to and about them. She is the best big sister and such a loyal friend.</span></span></div>

Dealing with her anxiety is difficult for me as I don't really understand how she feels and why she can't just "get over it" or "deal with it".

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lily recently started piano lessons. New classes, sports, etc make her very nervous so the original plan was for Ryan and Lily to learn to play together. However, after a few lessons, Ryan decided to sit outside and let her try it on her own. Afterwords, her instructor said Lily did much better without him and recommended that she continue by herself. Daddy got kicked out, ha! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She absolutely loves it. She practices on her own, multiple times a day, and is excelling. After just a couple months, she performed two songs in the recital and was nearly flawless. And even more special for her parents, not one ounce of nervousness or anxiety that we often see from our girl. We are beyond proud of her!</span><br />
