Happy "T" Day

Just wanted to wish you all a happy turkey day. Love you all and hope your holidays are filled with happiness and love.

Halloween Party at Omniture

My brother Glen invited us to go trick or treating at his work EXTRAVAGANZA!! It was awesome. All the departments get a budget to put together a creative room. His department did NEVERLAND. It was by far one of my favorites. We met up with him and Jade and Allie and then he went back to work and we took the girls around with us. WOW is all I have to say if I was in Ahhh as an adult I can only imagine what these kids thought.

Enjoy the picutres because there are lots.

My 3 little Trick or Treaters!

My cute little nieces. Jade and Allie. Their Dad is the one who works at Omniture.

While waiting in line to get in this guy was walking around. He is a HUGE tree. It was an amazing costume.

The first area we went into was called NEVERLAND. This was my brothers department. They did an amazing job and it was one of my favorites.

This is my brother Glen and he was a pirate in a ship that was built in their office. They made these cannons out of buckets with a hole and a covering on the other side. They would then dip them into fog and then pull back on a plastic thing and shoot us. It looked like a cannon was coming at you. He shot it right at my face and blew my hat off my head it was way neat. He said he had a blast doing it.

Of course neverland is never complete without captian Hook and the crocodile.

Going through the lost boy jungle on a zipline. How fun is that.

This was in another department where they did the city of vegas. There was a dance club and a wedding chapel and fake money all over the floor for them to take. There was a gamble room wtih candy poker chips to take.

This was in the Indiana jones room. Real sankes YIKES!!!

This was the Sesame Street room. It was cute.

Flinstones room. The flinstones car.

The smurf room. I wish I would have take more pictures in this room. They were so cute and it totally brought me back to my childhood. I loved the smurfs.

This was the GREEN MAN GROUP (AKA the blue man group)

It was fun the kids could make music with the fun gadgets.

There were several other rooms but with the big lines I didn't want to take pictures everywhere and slow things down even slower then it was. It took us about 2 hours to go through all the building. It was a fun way to kick off the Halloween weekend. Love you Glen thanks again for the invite. Hope to be invited back again next year.

A much loved tradition!

Kennecott mines

Our neighborhood has an activity once a week and it has made this summer a little more interesting. It gets us out doing something other than trying to entertain our children with otter pops and water balloons. This past week we went up to the Kennecott mine and toured the place, watched the movie and of course posed for pictures. After we went to a park nearby and had a picnic. It was great.

Looking through the microscope and seeing the details of rocks from the mine.

The mine itself. They said that the Impire State building wouldn't even come half way as deep as the mine hole. Crazy!

Bear Lake 1/2

I know I'm a little late about 3 weeks since this race but better late than never.

Bear Lake Utah.

June 13th I ran the 1/2 marathon with my sister Jenny (this was her first one) and her husband Brian who was no where near us on the race because he is FAST!!

My sister Janice came out from KY and ran the full marthon. Her 10th to be exact.

Friday night Jenny and Brian treated us to some yummy Olive Garden in Logan Ut.

My sister Ruth who also lives in Logan was so awesome and stayed the night at Jenny and Brians with all the kids so that the 4 of us could go down to Garden City and stay at a condo there. Thanks Ruth!!

This was me Friday night being a little on the silly side. It was a rainy weekend and rain was expected during the race so we stopped and bought some garbage sacks. I only ran with the top part of my beautiful outfit.

Jenny and I nearing the end. Jenny you did awesome and I'm so proud of you for never giving up and pushing through the pain. You Rock!!!

The 4 of us at the finishline. I did get a medal but forgot to put it on.

I loved this race and will totally do it again next year. It was beautiful and I have never been so happy while running. This is the first race that I finished singing and smiling. I LOVED IT!!!!
Our times were...
Brian at 1:46
Me and Jenny at 2:09 and
Janice the full at 4:11

Sisters Weekend

We had our 9th sisters weekend in Park City Utah this year. It was so much fun as always. I have 6 Sister and 2 sister-n-laws and my wonderful mom who has put up with us for so many years. We had everyone but 1 sister-n-law we missed you Sheri. We ate, shopped, layed out, took walks, went running, played games, watched a movie and just laughed. It was so awesome.
Me and Maria at the pool.

Janice and Maria at the pool. As you can tell it wasn't super warm.

Laying out by the pool in the clouds. We usually go to St. George and have to much sun but in Park City not so much.

Me, Janice and RaeAnn
As you can see there was plenty of Laughs. Love you sisters can't wait until next year.
Playing Kung Fu Fight. What a silly game.

Our beautiful noenails. Thanks Sarah for painting everyones toes.

Another trip to KY!

Kentucky Derby Marathon
My sister Janice did another marathon in Louisville KY and her husband Greg wasn't going to be able to be there so she flew me out to come cheer her on and watch her girls. She is a rock star because it was a challenging race. She has been sick for a couple of weeks it was HOT about 82 degrees by the time she finished the race it was hilly and windy. She held strong and finished the race strong. She is truely and insperation to everyone on what you can do if you put your mind to it. Thanks Janice for the fun week and everything else you have done for me. I love you!!!!!

The view from the hotel room. They ran across this bridge from mile 22 to 25 if you look close you can still see some runners.

Janice at mile 22 just before the bridge.

Special Day!!

Saturday was a great day. McKayla was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was such a special day. Thanks to all of you who came to support her on this day and thanks for the presents, cards, phone calls and thoughts of all of you. Thanks mom for speaking and sharing your testimony with her. She is a special spirit with lots of fire and we are excited to she the growth that she makes in her life. Thanks Todd for being worthy to hold the priesthood and baptize her. Most of all thanks to my Heavenly Father who has trusted her in my care while on the earth. I love you McKayla and hope that your testimony will grow strong and you will have the courage to choose what is right.
