The Payson Half Marathon!!

Burke loved being here so much that he cut and tried to get a good time!

This was taken near the start line right before we took off.

This was at the finish line. My 2 friends Gaylene on my right and Olga on my left finished with Olga- 2:12 and Gaylene- 2:13. They came to run alongside me and encourage me to finish at 2:20:42. What fun this was. I wish my whole family would do this with me. It was about 8.5-9.0 Miles of uphill and 4 miles flat or downhill. It was exactly what they named it for- the Rim Country Challange. I averaged about 10:45 min. miles. kinda slow but I did it and that's all I wanted! Was to finish.

The man took my tag on the bottom of my number for my time.

Jason kept the kids busy playing at the park and feeding the ducks while I ran. They also met me at mile 6.5 (halfway) to encourage me and give me some energy before I hit Airport Rd. (tough uphill). I love my sweet husband and my kids. It was so fun having them there to cheer me on. Burke at first said " Mom, I'm so glad you won!" Then the next day after he thought about it he said, " Mom, you were slow. Alot of people came in before you!" I think I am addicted and I want everyone to come, who wants to do it with me? Our next run is a 5k at Gilbert Days!!

Sisters Night!!

This night was a blast. We started with a yummy dinner made by Heidi and Jenny. Then we went to a taste testing night for Jodee Dillard and her sisters for the sweet shop they are starting online.

Back to Heidi's for a fun night of christmas carols and making all the pine garlands for Danie's wedding. Well, not all. Some. A few. Let's just say we have a ton more to do. AHHHHH!

Lots of our girls played in the powder puff football game last night so we decided to all go support them. It was alot of fun.

Went running this morning. Cops in the neighborhood so I didn't feel like being out very long. Only 2.3 miles.

Engaged!!

My sweet sister is finally engaged to her best friend! Life is good. Look at that ring!! Good job Blair. We love you Blair! So happy you are going to be my brother!

Labor Day Weekend!

While everyone left town for this weekend we decided to stay and it ended up really fun. We took all the kids to IHOP in the morning on Sat. then over to the Freestone Rec Center. We played raquetball, ran on the suspended track, climbed the rock wall, played ping-pong, and even played a little tennis. The kids are still talking about it and it cost us a whole $8 for the whole family for the day! This is Cari and Cortney on the suspended track.

Later that day we took Kenzie to Ross and found a "big girl" comforter to match Cortney's. She loves the room now.
