running again!

After a 6 month break I finally got a gym membership and hit the treadmill again. I will be running some races and then finally a marathon towards the end of the year. Utah is swarming with them! If anyone would like to join me for a simple 5k next month to help Sexual assault awareness please visit this link: www.ucasa.org. This one is in SLC.

There is another run towards the end of the month called the 5k cake walk and run. The kids race is only a half mile. What a great way to introduce your kids to the love of running. The prize is a gourmet cupcake. Here's the link for that: 5kcakewalk.com. this one is in Eagle Mountain.

Running has always been my passion and I cant wait for the upcoming events especially the Dirty Dash and the Big Foot Midnight Blood Run!

Fun Park Celebration! Congrats Christina!


 To celebrate Christinas new job we went to fun park, Mike, Me, Mason, Christina, Brayden, Kenzie, Amanda, Brandon, his friend Analee, Kate, her friend Kaydi, Myles and Ian all went out for pizza, finger food, bowling, soft play, rollerskating and laser tag.

 Kate and Kaydi won the jackpot in the arcade and won over 1000 tickets! We all really sucked at bowling! I was the worst, of course. Hey I can win when I bowl on the Wii!

Winter Wonderland

 Kate and Myles made a snowman
 Myles and Kate made "snowball barrels"
 Kate's even had a lid...Clever
Myles had some pretty big snowballs saved for the right moment when you may need a snowball handy.

The puppies are here!

On the evening on Feb 17th Eva had her final delivery of puppies. This is the order: boy girl boy girl. Unfortunately the littlest runt died this morning as expected. We tried all we could do but in the end nature had its way. Three very healthy puppies remain. Eva is such a good mom.

Photos to follow.....

Christmas in Salt Lake City




What a wonderful Family Home Evening! We took the train down to SLC with Mason and Christina and kids. The lights were amazing! We walked around and then saw Jesus' birth presentation out on the lawn. On our way back we stopped and got hot chocolate. Fun night. I think we will do this every year.
