Quick Trip

We just made a quick trip up to Casper this last week. My Dad had a massive stroke so we went to see him in the Rehab center and try to help out some. Though I am not sure how much help we were since the kids are so busy and inquisative. I have to say it is pretty hard to see your parents hurt like that. But my dad is a trooper and will fight hard to get everything back. We went up Wednesday and Jremiah headed home very early Friday morning then the kids and I headed home on Sunday. It was bitter sweet coming home. It was nice to be back to normalcy but it was really hard leaving my dad and my mom. I am just glad that my brother Daniel and sister Carrie came up the next day to help our.

Look at that hair

I know my brother in law Joey might get mad when he sees these pictures but I couldn't help it. My little nephew Roman who is about 10 weeks old has as much or more hair then Isabelle. So I tried sticking a pony tail in his hair. He is so cute.

Dancing Queen

Isabelle loves to dance. All we have to say to here is "Dance It Isabelle"

I believe I went Crazy

So this is how it all began. I found a thing about the Freedom run coming up on the fourth of July. You could either walk 1 mile, run a 5k or a 10k. Well I was thinking I haven't run a 5k for about 2 years so this would be good for me. I asked my friend Kirra if she would like to do it with me (she has done a marathon before). Well to make a long story shorter she talked me into running the 10k with her. I am so scared. this is double what I have even raced in. Well so I have decided I really need to start training hard since this is in a MONTH. So I started running everyday, rain or shine. Today was pouring outside. I really didn't want to go but I still did. I ended up pushing myself harder then normal and was very proud and wet by the time I got home. I am still scared about running this 10k but I am actually getting really excited. My only goal is to finish without stopping or walking. Even if I am going so slow people might think 'why doesn't she just walk' I am going to do it. So I will be running a 10k a day before I turn 28. I think that is pretty good since about 10 years ago I would never had done it. For those around Provo come cheer Kirra and I on. We run through the parade route before the parade. For everyone else please pray for me.

First BBQ of the Season

This is late but at the begining of May we had a really nice week of warm weather. We went up to Provo Canyon and had a nice BBQ and played in the creek.

This one of Joseph is my favorite. He got dirty and wet and ended up with finger prints down his face. He looked as if he was ready for war.
