ALL NIGHT LONG 2008

How CUTE Is this vehicle?

Jennie! STARTS the race! Good job Girl!

Next was me! I ran a 7 mile leg... the heat wasn't kind to me. My compeditive self kick in at the end and i wouldn't let my new friend Jim pass me ( we ran by eachother the wole 7 miles). This resulted in a throw up seen of my bananna snack I ate before i ran... yummy!



Next was the pass of to Jaymes!

Poor Jaymes had to deal with all us girls in the back of the car. He was an awesome sport! Good run Jaymes!

Ashleigh was next! She did an amazing job running in the heat!


Tami and her salt packets....



Tami Ran in the dust and dirt. This sis what our car looked like after her run. Yum!

There goes Tracy!

Tracy neede a little bit of fresh air after her crazy run in the heat!


The Night RUNS!
I don't have any pictures of anyone running at night because it was too dark AND because as soon as i was done with my run and done eating my yummy noodls that the team got for me after i ran i was out. I fell asleep in the comfort of the back seat. I was trying to get my sleep in so i could be nice and rested for my next run in the morning. After all of our night runs it was about 1:00 in the morning. We headed to the High school to get some sleep on some reslting mats. I know sounds fun hu! I was so tired i didn't care that there were 2 strance men snoring next to me. I just zonked out! around 4:00 am we were off agian to run.


THE HUNNY BUCKETS... DO I NEED TO SAY MORE?

THE STAR PIN ON MY SHOE! My sisters and mom gave me this star pin so i could remember that they were always with me and that they suported me!

LOOK AT THIS HILL! CRAZY! MAYBE NEXT YEAR I COULD RUN THIS LEG. 5 MILES ALL UP HILL!

I DID IT! I couldn't have done it without the suport of my family! I was so excited to see my husband and kids when i was done!

My mom! #1 fan!

Thanks Girls for cheering me through the Race!

Tami. me . Jennie
We were so tired by this point! i couldn't wait to go home and sleep sleep sleep!

RUN. SLEEP? REPEAT.

Awesome Daddy

We love our DADDY! He Takes care of our family and loves to play with us! What would we do without him!

JUNE

Where is the TIME going? It is already the end of June and I am just getting our JUNE Picture done. NOT to mention that we DIDN'T get MAY done at all. O well.

Raegan and Kade are GROWING up so fast! I ENJOY watching them play together and LOVE each other!

KADE being 24 pounds and growing will soon be BIGGER than Raegan who is weighing in at 29 pounds! She likes to bug him by poking and taking things AWAY from him. I keep Telling Raegan that she needs to be careful because one day he WILL be bigger than HER and he will get her back for all of the torcher she puts him through.

Kade can get anywhere he wants by ARMY CRAWLING. He gets up on his knees every once in a while but i think he might be to heavy to be able to move that way. (its funny to think that Raegan was already walking by now... i try not to compare though)

He is still the SUNSHINE in my life! He smiles for ANYONE! What a happy boy he IS! MOMMYS boy... its true!

RAEGAN... THE PRINCES....

EVERYTHING is Princes! If she doesn't want to do something, or eat something, or where something or go somewhere, all we have to say is "princesses eat it, or where it. " or what ever it may be. I love just talking with Raegan! She had such a fun personality.

Here is Raegan with our flowers we planted. We have been so excited about them. Everyday Raegan goes and gives the flowers a DRINK. she always says that they are THIRSTY.

With me Training so much for my races, Raegan has cought on to the running thing. Every morning when she wakes up she says, "you go running? Did you stretch? Go running again?"

She wanted to run the wasatch back with me so bad! I had told her that i was going to be running in the MOUNTAINS, she asked me if the BEARS were going to get me. I told her I would be OK, and that I was WAY faster then the bears. She was really worried about me. How CUTE! She LOVES to Run back and forth in front of our house. She says "mom look, I run!" She will do this for a while and then say (while she is still running) "MOm I TIRED!!" I tell her she can stop running, but she says " No I RUN!"

She loves asking questions and TRYING to figure things out. She is a smart little girl and I love her so much!

MoM

This is a very late MOTHERS DAY post.

I have just been thinking all week how WONDERFUL my mom is! She is my best friend and I LOVE her so much! I am so grateful for the person she is, and the JOY she brings into my life! She is the best GRANDMA ever, and a loyal FRIEND and MOM! She makes you Feel so special and worth more than you could ever know. She touches the HEARTS of everyone that she comes in contact with. When people meet her, they will NEVER forget the cute, FUN, Incredible, person she is! I love you mom! thanks for being the BEST!

FLASh BaCk!

Well... Our Anniversary turned out WONDERFUL! Jared had to work LATE since he took the morning off. When Jared Came HOME he found me in my WEDDING DRESS! I thought I was soooo FUNNY! I made him take pictures of me. So I thought it would be fun to SHARE them just in case you didn't get the chance to see me on my wedding day :)

P.S... the dress is FOR SALE if anyone is INTERESTED! Let me know!

4 YeaRs!

Happy Anniversary! Me and Jared are celebrating our 4th year being married! I can't believe all of the many things we have accomplished in only 4 years! It has flown by but at the same time it feels like we have known each other FOREVER!!

I love you honey!

This morning we had the opportunity to go to the Temple! It was such a WONDERFUL experience! After the temple we went to one of our favorite Cafes for breakfast. When we were first married we lived in a basement apartment in sandy at the mouth of the canyon. We lived such a simple life. We didn't have any t.v channels, no Internet, and no home phone. We just worked and spent time together. One of our favorite things to do was to call into work sick and then go eat breakfast at the cottonwood cafe and then spend the rest of the day at the mall or just doing nothing. Those were some of my favorite memories! I love Jared so much and I'm so grateful that I took the leap and flipped over Jared while he was intently watching a basketball game and sitting on a love sack. What a funny memory! I can't wait to keep adding years to our marriage!

CaLL mE CrAzY!

Friday was my first time doing a TRIPLE run! Meaning I ran 3 times within 24 hours. This is part of the training for the Wasatch Back! Friday morning I ran a FIVE mile at 5:45 in the morning. Then at 8:45 at night I ran another 5 miles. Then at 5:45 Saturday morning I ran SIX miles, making a grand total of 16 miles! Call me crazy but I had the BIGGEST High (along with EXTREME tiredness)! There is something amazing about PUSHING your self to the limits that just feels so awesome! I can't wait to EXPERIENCE the Rush from the Wasatch Back Relay! Its creeping up on me but I feel ready for the challenge! Here is a little video you HAVE to check out. If your NOT a runner you are going to think I am the CRAZIEST, stupidest person ever. But if you ARE a runner you will UNDERSTAND the supper excitement that I am feeling. This video PUMPED me up!

Girls Night!

I was so excited to Hang out with the girls from the Salon! I miss them so much! Thanks girls for the Invite! I feel like I never left the Brick House!

Mother Daughter Activity

I am one of the leaders for Activity days. We Planned a really fun Mother Daughter Activity that we had on Saturday. The Theme was " let your Beauty Bloom within"
We thought it would be fun for the girls and their moms to get Beautified and learn some fun stuff. So we set up 3 stations. One where they can make flower clips, one where I thought them how to do some fun hair stuff. and another one where they could paint their nails. Along with all of the outward beauty stuff we talk to them about how to be beautiful on the inside. we gave them a hand out that said this...

True beauty tips

For beautiful lips- say only good things about others

for sparkling eyes- look for the good in everyone

for a slim figure- work hard helping and sharing with those in need.

for lovely hands- use them often to lift others.

It turned out so fun! I love being in Activity days!
Here are a few pictures from the activity. I made the posters and the invitations! I thought they turned out really cute!
