Midnight 5K Run

Well, I finally did it, my first race! I am not really a runner, but have been getting into it lately. Ricki, Dion, and I ran the Midnight 5K Race last Friday night. I am usually asleep by midnight, so to actually be running in a race at this time was quite an accomplishment in and of itself. Here we are pictured with all of our race get up: our glowsticks, hats with head lamps, etc. We had such a fun time, despite not being able to see where we were going. I finished the race in 27:36, which was 4th place for my age. We all did great, with Ricki in 3rd and Dion in 5th! I am so proud of us girls and so excited for the next race when it is during the day and we can actually see each other! Thanks Ricki for setting us at a faster pace than I usually run and we all laughed and joked the whole time. Maybe next time we will be a little more serious! Thanks girls for an awesome first race for me!

SUMMER FAMILY FUN!

!

We have been so busy the last couple of weeks. We traveled up north to spend some time at Grammy and Grampy's house in Farmington. We went to Hogle Zoo and the kids loved seeing all of the animals. We had so much fun riding on the train and seeing all of the animals. The next day we went to Lagoon. Taggart loves Lagoon! Whenever we drive by it, he goes crazy and says he wants to go! He rode every single kiddie ride including the rollercoaster and the Dinosaur Drop, which he did NOT like. It takes you up and drops you and then goes up and down. After the first drop, he said, "I can't like this one!" He loved every other ride and much to my surprise, so did Maddie. She went on almost as many rides as Tag and loved every minute of it! The only thing she didn't like was when the Lagoon employees tried to get her out or in the ride. She is so dang scared of strangers! We had so much fun at Grammy and Grampy's house. The kids loved playing with Chewy especially.
A couple days after we got home, my family came down for our family vacation. It was really nice for us this year because we just spent some time here in St. George and then went to Vegas for a couple days. We spent a lot of time playing at the pool. Taggart turned into quite the swimmer and has no problem going under water and trying to swim. He wore himself out every time we went to the pool! Maddie and Tag had fun seeing their cousins, Ada and Boston. Maddie thinks Boston is so special and is always trying to poke him in the mouth or eyes.. she loves him though! We played a lot of NERTZ and just had some good old family hanging out time. We even did a little hiking here in St. George and we all know how much Tag loves hiking these days. We have been surrounded with family for the last two weeks and now that everyone is gone, I miss everyone already! Hopefully we will see you all before long! LOVE YOU ALL! Here are some pics that show you how much fun we have had
