Teton Dam 10K

So back in June I ran the Teton Dam 10K. That means it is a 6.2 mile run. I had been training with my great friend Cathy Birch. Erin was going to run with me but was unable to. Then Cathy said she would run and was as well unable right at the last minute. Now I love to visit and that is one of the reasons I run. I love to talk while I am running and Cathy is a great partner for that very reason (among others ofcourse) So I was kind of bummbed when I didnt have anyone to run with. So I was nervous the whole night and got up in the morning and went to the race. I had friends there but lost them before the race even started. (should I have taken that as a clue?) Anywho, I had a great run!!! I was so excited! I ran it in 54:00 minutes. Thats 15 mins. less than last year! I was so happy. When I came around the corner to the finish line, there were my boys. Dylan had been busy picking Dandy Lions for his momma, Keller was busy just a wavinging away to me, and ol Soy he ran the last little bit with me. It was the cutest thing. They just make my day. I sure love those boys! Then after I ran through the finish line there was my mom and dad and Rosie of course waiting for me. I felt really special. I was so suprised that I had such a great support team. So I have to brag with my pictures. Thanks to my great family. I sure do love ya!

pics for 4-h camp

my stupid computer wouldnt let me download pictures so here I try again.

4-H Camp

Oh this was Sawyer's first year to 4-H camp. I was a bit nervous about sending. I found out that his friend Brecon was going but to Madison Co. rather than Fremont Co. I also found out that Madison Co. went swimming to Green Canyon on the way home. So yup it was a no brainer, we sent him with Madison. They went the first week in June so here in S. East Idaho it is still early spring. It rained and rained. When we were waiting for the bus it was raining. Good thing he had rain boots. Jaren went and bought him a poncho before they left. Once they got up there it didn't rain on them. It was really hard to watch my baby get on the bus and not even seem a tiny bit upset about having to leave his mother for 3 whole days!!! When I was younger I remember getting sooo homesick for my momma. Apparently I didn't pass that trait on to my children. We decided to drive up to Alpine Wyo. to camp to see Sawyer and surprise him. They were just coming down from a hike so he were just sitting on the side of the trail.....Sawyer walks past us and says "oh hi" and kept right on walking. I know he was happy to see us but we were kind of interrupting "his" time. He really really really had fun. Even now about 2 months later he will say. I sure hope I can go to 4-H camp again next year. Such a good boy!

Mother's Day

So I'm a bit behind. Better late than never is my motto. For Mother's Day my momma took us girls to the spa in Idaho Falls. It was divine!!! We got pedicures and deep tissue massage's. My arm and fingers had been falling asleep for a couple of weeks prior to this and the deep tissue did the trick. It was such a fun day. I loved it. They had food to snack on while we waited and champagne if you wanted so my mom wanted. When we were all done and they took us back to the dressing room we all started to get dressed. After a few minutes we started to wonder where mom was....well we found her still in her robe a good 20 minutes later drinking champagne and relaxing on a couch in the waiting room. She had no idea that we were all dressed and waiting for her but couldn't find her. It was so funny!!! Sometimes I wonder if she is truly blonde. Moments like that help me see that she just may be Heathers real mom. Just kidding Heather. Sometimes you just live up to your blonde roots. Anyway it was a super fun day. I love to get girl time in with my favorite girls. Thanks Mom, you rock as always!
