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!

Wasatch Back!

K Here we go! Getting ready for the coolest Race ever! Last week we had a team meeting and met all of our awesome team mates and picked our running legs! I was lucky to get the leg that I wanted! One with no crazy hills! I will be runner number 2! Check out the coarse at http://www.ragnarrelay.com/wasatchback/coursemaps I run legs 2. 14. and 26. A total of 15.0 miles!

Our Team is Named "All night long"
Of course I am in charge of decorating the vans. So i was thinking that it would be fun to get millions of glow in the dark stars and use the tacky stuff to stick them on the vans! They have prizes for the best decorated vehicles. and best costumes. so if anyone has any ideas let me know! Or if you find a good deal on glow in the dark stuff! Also i am looking for bright colored bandannas with Stars and moons on them!

but speaking of Vans
We are looking for anyone that would be willing to donate there large vehicle for the Race . We need something that can hold 6 runners and a driver along with all of our gear. The date of the race is June 20th and 21st. Please let me know if you or anyone you know would be so very kind to let us use their car! Thanks everyone!!

Best friends

Kade always wants what Raegan has. Even though he is only 8 months he watches her very intently. The other day I came up stares where they were watching a movie and this is what i found! Seriously! I didn't give that sippy to kade. Raegan got it for him. He loved it! I love that they are already good friends. Raegan is always trying to help kade (mixed with trying to bug him too). yesterday I was feeding kade some baby food and left it sitting on the tray when I went to grab the phone. When i came back Raegan was happily feeding kade. She wasn't doing a bad job either. They were both laughing! I love it!

i DId iT! 13.1 MilEs!

I can't believe I actually did it. 13 miles!! But now I am wondering what I got my self into with 2 more races lined up this year. Including the Wasatch Back Relay and the Top of Utah Marathon... yeah there is no Half in in frount of that one!! I am excited and so grateful for my cute friends that pull me out of bed every morning to run with them and the constant encouraging words they give me! Thanks Jennie and Shanna!.... And of coarse Tami!( I can't wait to run with you at the relay!)
My favorite thing about the Marathon was seeing my kids and husband cheering for me at the Finnish line! I couldn't wait to give them kisses! When i crossed the finnish line eyes filled up with tears in amazement of what i had just accomplished! 13 miles in 2 hours and 6 seconds!! WOW!
Thanks Dad for riding next to me on your bike for the last 7 miles! It kept me going! I can't wait to do it again! call me crazy... I KNOW! What an experience!

Raegan was such a cute cheer leader! "Go MOMMY!!


Jared and Raegan made me a sign that said... My mom is HOT! Go Mommy!
I thought it was so cute!
