10K "run"

Beth still looks good - she would've had a better time if I hadn't been so slow. Maybe next time - ha - I'll do some training. (I did NO training whatsoever!) I finished in 1:15 which equals 12 minute miles! Not to bad for someone who hasn't ran in nearly a decade! I felt slightly worse when I realized that 70 year old people had finished well ahead of me and the fastest runners had finished in half an hour, yes, half an hour!

Yes, that's the finish line ahead! I barely made it. 

Isn't she so cute? She was so excited to have mommy back, she's not used to having me gone during the morning routine.

After the run we watched the parade. Aunt Angie got to ride on a float this year! She rode with her graduating class - she doesn't seem old enough to be able to do that though.

Only here in Utah

Notice anything funny about this spoiler? Yes it's a snowboard. 

Fiesta Days part 2

After we played at the library park we went to Jumpin' Jacks to play with John and Jessica Mills and kids. (I forgot to take pictures before they left.) The kids loved it and didn't want to leave, they asked to go back over and over again.

After we played at Jumpin' Jacks we went with the Paulks to ride in the Rzr and have fun. The kids loved it, especially the part where they found a dead something that had part fur part bones.

Then we ditched the kids and went to play with John's high school friends John Mills and Christian Ward and wives. We had a taste test of rootbeers followed by a rousing three hour game of Phase 10. (We may never play Phase 10 again.) The winners of the rootbeer taste test were: A&W followed by Howies. The worst was Dad's, it tasted like soap, most of us spit it out.

This day was crazy busy, but it was so fun!

Sunday we went to John's parents church and John got to teach Gospel Doctrine - yes, while on vacation! He did a great job!

Fiesta Days

At the rodeo. The kids were so excited to see the bulls. They weren't so excited to wait until the end. The entertainment was amazing this time, they had a lady who stood on the back of horses and did all sorts of tricks around the ring. This was a favorite this year as well.

Monday we went to the city Library park to play and have fun. Steph and Ikani played with us and then Cheryl and her family came to play too. Ikani was a great jungle gym for the kids - all the kids at the same time!

Sick baby and tired mommy

Jocelyn got a little virus which meant big work for mommy and daddy, mostly mommy.

She wanted to be loved every half an hour - hence the reason I put a mattress on the floor in the living room and crashed there for the night. She slept for an entire day minus two hours!! Thankfully she got better before we headed to SF to celebrate her first birthday!

Meet our newest addition

This is Annie.

Annie is 3 and shares a birthday with Jocelyn!

Annie is well trained and a great dog, unless she's excited to see you then you might get pawed to death!

We're very excited to have her but not all the dooties that come with her!

Playing in the Rain

We had a semi-good rain storm come through and the kids were so excited to go play outside and dance. They decided to count this as their shower for the night.
