Dad's patio

While I was in Idaho for two weeks I got to help my dad put pavers on his patio. It is right up my alley cause I love watching hgtv and diy network and wanting to try some of the things they show. Also it's great to try out my dad's awesome tools like the skidster! It was fun to drive similar to their lawn mower but the controls for picking up the pallets were a little tricky.

We had some great help from Cali, Paige and Ryan. They would bring the cement pavers (which were super heavy) and I would arrange them in a non pattern. It was a lot like playing tetris!!

4th of July fun on the 5th

We had a way fun time this year entering most of the grandkids up for the Soda Springs fun run before the parade. They all did great and had fun and said they would do it again!!
Later that day we all went down to the canyon and had hamburgers and hot dogs. I got the kids to put on their fun run shirts so we could take a picture.
On the 4th we went to Burley for Cashe's blessing then came back to Nick's house for fireworks it was a way fun time!

What is up with this kid and markers. Anytime she finds some she markers all over her body!

A fun two weeks at Grandma's

We went to the free kids lunch at the church pavilion.
Kade got to come stay the night at Grandmas with Cambria for his first sleep over ever. They were both great and had such a fun time. (and it kept cambria busy and out of my hair!)

We went over to Laura's to run in the sprinklers and jump on the tramp. One of my favorite things to do when I lived there

The kids love the new trampoline and had such a fun time. It is soo fun when there is a sprinkler underneath!
Another sleepover at Grandma's the kids watched a few movies and got starbursts from grandma! Such a fun two week for all the cousins!!

Ragnar Wasatch Back 2010

Yes I did the Ragnar Wasatch Back. What was I thinking? I'm really not sure. I committed last fall and when spring came and the day of the race came closer I was really wondering what I had done!






I got to choose between 3 different legs and so I chose to be runner #3. My first 2 legs weren't too bad they were rated moderate. The first was 4.9 the second 5.6. That ended Friday for me and my group of 6 went to find somewhere to sleep. We started the next day around 5:30 after our other van of 6 was through running for the night.

My third run was rated hard and boy oh boy was it ever!! It was a MOUNTAIN and 7.9 miles.!!! I had people passing me jogging and I mentally told them I hated them. What where they doing jogging up a mountain? I did cry during this last leg, mainly cause I needed my support team more (they thought I would want some space and not be pressured up the mountain). But I made it and I can say I did the Ragnar! I completed 18.4 miles and our team did 188.2 miles from Logan, Utah to Park City, Utah!! We are sooo awesome!


We all got to cross the finish line together, it was a great feeling of accomplishment!!!
