Utah Valley 5K

Team bandanna's okay we were tryig to keep our ears warm it was cold.

I am working on improving my 5k time...at least that's what I like to call it. I really enjoyed the first novice triathlon I did so I signed up for a sprint one in two weeks. So I signed up for the Utah Valley 5k because I knew Chelsea and Eni and baby Matini were signed up.

Then I found out that (L-R)Chantelle, Tiffany, Ryan and baby paige were doing it also. I loved that we all got to meet up for a second at the starting line.

Everyone did great and finished! I was hoping to beet my last 5k time which was a few weeks ago of 28:40 and I did coming in at 27:51.
Even though it was raining hard on my way down the weather was great a little cold with some puddles but it was perfect. I can't wait to do my next triathlon in 2 weeks.

Red Fish Lake

Nick's mom planned for all of us to get together the first weekend of June to camp....Camping with kids equals cabins. After we survived the 6 hour drive in Nick's truck we made it. The kids were great. I thought it would be rough not having the TV for them to watch but they did great. Bronson especially was fantastic. It was beautiful , we stayed right on the river in cute little studio cabins. I was able to run a few days, five miles passes by when you have scenery as beautiful as it was. Bronson was a great kettle bell.


The boys got up at 5am everyday and went fishing the last day they came home with this little thing. 24 pounds and 40 inches long!! It took Eni 45 min. to real this sucker in and all three of them to get it on the boat.


We found a stock pond not to far from our cabin and so the kids could fish all day long. They caught until they were tired.

The kids loved the animals everywhere. There was a heard of 20+ elk that sat on the hill behind where we stayed.
We even saw a baby black bear. He was so cute but I'm glad there was a river between us because mom couldn't have been to far. Its amazing at the beauty in Stanley. It was so nice to get away.

Nicks mom always had something planned for the kids. One of the crafts they loved was painting their own shirts. I was proud of my self I let the control freak in me go and let them do their own thing. They were so proud of the creations can't you tell. I do have to admit. When Ryker walked into the gym the other day wearing it I just about died. We have agreed its a great shirt to wear camping. So it will get good use in a few week. Until then they will look great in their closets.

My baby is getting so big it makes me sad but happy daily.

He is sitting like a pro, eating anything he can get his hands on, and always happy. When we took these pictures he would not keep his tongue in his mouth.

The whole time I was thinking you have got to be kidding me. Here I am paying to have pictures taken and not one smile all silly tongue.


Well two days later Mr. Bronson's bottom two teeth broke through. I am so glad I have these darling pictures of him and his tongue they turned out more than perfect.
This boy is to dang cute.
We all love him so much.

Hangin up her tap shoes.....

Dance is over for the year. Kennadee's team did great! She can't wait to start again in the fall already, and we just finished two weeks ago.

Memorial Weekend

As if we didn't just get back from Vegas last weekend we headed off to Emery this weekend. Bronson loved his first camping and four wheeling trip. It was so much fun riding, talking, running in sandy gravel, and riding bikes that are missing half of their gears....okay that part was not. Best all Ryker learning how to ride a two wheeler.

We loved picking as much asparagus as we could find. We also made ice cream in a bag the kids liked it I loved it! According to the hubby's for a lame idea it tasted okay.


If it wasn't for my amazing dad we would never be able to go do all these fun things. I don't think we can ever thank him enough.

A little bit of this and that.....

Mommy needed a break so we jumped in the car and headed to sunny Vegas. It was so nice to get away and relax.

So I had to pay this man off to drive us there;)


The kids & Nick had a blast doing this....

While I sat and did that....

While Bronson did this...

I did more of that!

The kids liked to do this...

And no trip is complete without Ryker doing a little bit of that!

RUN WALK ROLL

I'm so lucky to know this darling little boy. Not only were his mommy and daddy in our ward in WX. One of Nicks best friends growing up was his nurse when he was at Primary's. They refer to him as handsome rob, we like to call him uncle Robby! I went and did the BIAU (Brain Injury Association of Utah) 5k today in honor of him. It amazes me daily what he had to do to fight to stay here with up. I also set a 5k pr 28:40. This was only the second 5k I have ever done, it was 11th overall so I was happy with that. It might sound slow to some but 5 months ago I couldn't run a mile without stopping to walk.

It was also Lincoln and Chris Anne's first 5k. I'm rubbing off on my family a little;)
