TOU 1/2 Marathon


I ran in this years Top of Utah 1/2 marathon. I came in 5 minutes and 8 seconds faster than my first marathon. Aaron, Mom, and the boys missed me crossing the finish. I told them to come later because I anticipated running slower since I hadn't ran for a week. Whoops. It was a beautiful run. To their credit they only missed me by a minute or so.

Yoga


Daddy caught this cute picture of Collin doing yoga with Mommy. Pretty cute.

"Fishing" with Papa


So the boys went fishing....Mommy was plum tuckered out from work. So to make the house quiet, the boys hopped on Grandpa's boat.

So the only fish they caught were the red rubber one that came with the Spider Man fishing poles. They sure had fun and that's all that matters.

Actually catching fish is just icing on the cake. :P

Birthday Girl


Kadie and her cake with a slightly shaggy, Kenny.


The boys helping Auntie blow out her candles. 'Cause she needed it...talk about a bonfire!

Kadie came up to Logan for her birthday. She was nice enough to let me take her to dinner. She picked the Road House. Ya, she picked it. Well, being the very loving sister that I am, I allowed the staff to embarrass her. Luckily, I had my camera.

My Little Helpers


Shelling garlic is a time consuming task. After seeing "Mom", do it.... my boys wanted to help. They were good helpers and stuck to it. They were so proud when they got each clove shelled. They wanted to show me each one! Thanks buddies!

Epic Relay Logan To Jackson


I know you all just want to see a picture of me running, so here it is. Me on my final leg. 205 miles to Jackson from Logan! Yea, we are a little crazy. Our team number was 18.

Danni and Paris. Mother/Daughter members of our team and both in Vehicle one. This is actually a picture of day two and still smiling. Danni is my sweet awesome friend who asked me to be on their team in the first place.

Jake, Danni (husband and wife), and Jeannie. Members of vehicle 1. Day one waiting to use the "Honey Bucket" aka porta-potties.

Jessie (vehicle 1) and Joseph (vehicle 2) brother and sister at the starting line. Joseph was the youngest in our group.

Just so you all know, we made it to Jackson. Yes, we ran the whole way. You will have to zoom in to see the picture. Aaron and I are on the far left. I was a never-2-b-4-gotten experience.

Aaron's Fountain


Aaron really likes yard fountains. The week we were in Vernal he got the opportunity to finally make one with his father's rock collection, a pump, and a broken fountain. Here he is with the finished project. He worked hard and was so proud. The kids even helped him pick up and move rocks. The water comes out of the lady sitting on the top rock and trickles down the granite then circulates back up.
