May and a little of June
This past month has been a good one! Here are a few things that have been going on with the Levers:
*Jackson has been on Peds and we have LOVED having him around a little more. The Sun has finally showed face and Elizabeth has been as entertaining as ever.
I finished my first 1/2 marathon and have come to the conclusion that I have no intention of running a full marathon. I actually really liked the race, but don't know it my knees can handle 13.1 more miles.
*My parents came to visit the end of May and we took a trip down to Nauvoo. We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast for 2 days, which is the way to go! We had a great time going to the Temple, walking around, seeing plays, eating and ending the night with some Rook. The only bad thing that happened was Elizabeth falling and cutting the inside of her mouth (she is fine now).
We then took my parents up to Wisconsin for 2 days. I showed them around Milwaukee, we drove up to Cedarburg and ended the night with only the best German food Wisconsin has to offer. In the morning we grabbed some of the best danish pastries I have ever had inside the US, and sent my parents off to SLC. Thanks Bud and Claudia for the great memories!
*Good thing my parents came when they did, and missed out on the wonderful rain/tornado/thunder storms we had this last weekend. This was the first time I have ever heard a Tornado siren and had to evacuate to the basement. Our neighbors were great, one of them was fully prepared with blankets and all to shield the glass. Luckily we were fine and live on a hill so we didn't have to worry about flooding or sewer water getting in our basement (thank goodness!)
Enjoy the pics.

Birthday Pictures
Elizabeth had a fabulous Birthday and it was way too much fun to watch and play with her!!!
She loved her toys and especially loved her cake as you can see from the pics. We lucked out with perfect weather, good food and had a great time with friends. Thanks for everyone that came and also helped out!

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!
Time sure does fly! It is amazing how your life can change so much in one year. This first year with Elizabeth has been better than we ever could have imagined! She is so sweet, tender, calm, funny, loving... and we can't get enough of her. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our cinco de mayo baby.

April pics
So far this month has been: cold, warm, wet, and more wet! but at least there are no freezing temps. Jackson is finishing up his surgery rotation (ya!) and will start pediatrics in May. We all can't wait to have a little more time together.
Elizabeth is getting more and more busy and is keeping me on my toes. I love that each day more and more of her personality shows. Enjoy the pics.

Skiing and Jack Johnson
These two things are just meant to go together. This is a video that Catherine put together from our skiing in Utah during winter break. We thank all of the actors- Scottie Dog, Norminator, Sweet Jane, Cat Attack, Action Jackson and not least of all Pedro! You know who you are!
We actually submitted this into a local ski shop's video contest. We'll see how it does!
