We got to meet up in Lake Mojave with some old friends from Utah. It was so great to see everyone. Madison got to try wakeboarding. She popped right up. It was so warm and nice weather for October. Thanks guys for a fun weekend.


Ethan and Bella riding the tube! They were so excited to see each other. Each morning they had notes to give each other.




Landon didn't want to be wearing that life vest. Good thing he couldn't take it off by himself.


Caleb had so much fun riding on the boat. He would just hang out and pretend he was driving.

Marathon Mama!!

I did it!! I finally ran my first marathon. It has always been a goal of mine. One of those things that would be COOL to do. Early this year, some girls in my ward were interested in running the St. George Marathon. Surprisingly we all got in. So Saturday mornings consisted of long runs together- usually starting at 4 am. But it wasn't bad because we had so much fun chatting while we ran. I would have never made it to the finish line without that support group. Most people wouldn't consider running while the moon is still out as FUN, but it was a lot of fun!! I wonder what will be next!!!


Almost to the finish line and Cara and the kids were cheering for me! I needed it! I was so cold and wet. It rained the entire 26.2 miles. But it motivated me to run to the finish line and be done. My goal was 4 hours and I finished at 3:46.


Just Finished!! Now it's time to load up with Gatorade and Bananas!


My Cheerleaders!! Thanks Cara for coming out in the freezing cold rain to cheer- you still got it girl!
These guys kept me going. Just knowing they were at the end waiting for me kept me pushing through. Thanks Scott for helping me reach my goal.

Student of the Month!

Great job Ethan for getting Student of the Month. He has done so well adjusting to first grade. He's been learning so many new things like handball, tetherball, and how to buy lunch in the BIG cafeteria. It's so fun to see how exciting first grade can be. We are so proud of you Ethan!
