Cedar Canyon Half Marathon

This could possibly be the ugliest picture of me of all time. But too bad, its the only one I've got and this race was just too fun I have to blog about it. This was the first half marathon Cedar has done and it was AWESOME! I loved it (sans mile 11.5 to mile 12.5) It was all down hill with a few little up hills at the end but I made it through. I don't know if it was the race I loved or the company. Dani, Dana and I all stayed together and finished together. How fun to visit with two of your best friends while running a half marathon. And thanks to Dani for being my cheerleader when I needed it most! I will definitely be back to this race next year. Oh....and I got my best time yet!
Amber, Dani, Mirinda, Dana, me, Marci, Lydia
Good job Everyone!!

Just a few more

I know I've already blogged about this relay, but there were a few more pictures on the website so I decided to to put a few more on here, just for laughs.

Can't wait til Next Year!

Happy Birthday Syd!

Sydni had her 10th birthday on Aug. 17th. Every year seems to go a little faster than the last. She lucked out and had all her girl cousins in town sleeping at my mom's house (minus Bethany and Ragen) But she still thought she needed a party so we had a few friends out to the res. Luckily herBF Macey has a super nice dad that offered to take the girls on his boat. They had a blast! Thanks Van. Happy Birthday Syd! We sure love you lots!

Team Hollywood!

What a weekend! I wish I could go back in time and do it all over again! 5 of us ran a 31 mile relay. 2 legs each and each leg was around 3 miles or so. It was such a blast! We dedcided to drive the course the night before and it was great! I took the girls on a little off road adventure. I'm pretty sure some of them may have wet their pants! After a little shopping at wal-mart, decorating the car, and modeling our sweet costumes it was off to bed. 3 in one twin bed I might add! Its okay...we slept sideways and it worked out great!

You should have seen the looks we got when we pulled up to the starting line. We were pretty much the only team dressed up. But hey, it got us a prize! People were even asking to take our picture!
Can you spot Madonna at the porta potty?!

Madonna handing off to Dolly! Too bad it was so windy, it made it hard to keep our wigs on! But we did pretty good!

MJ to Elvis. Once again, the wind has blown the wig off. Hats off to Marci! She conquered angry man like no other! Way to go Marci!

Here we are at the finish line. 4 hours and 45 minutes! I was pretty proud of us. Especially my teammates, they really had to pick up the pace since I'm the slow one of the group. All the legs were challenging in their own way and everyone did so good! After literally hiking up the last hill (more like mountain) it was great to see my 4 teammates at the top! How could they not put a smile on my face! By the time I was to the finish line I was beat. But Michelle wouldn't have it! I grabbed her hand and we sprinted to the end! Thanks to everyone for the best weekend ever!!!

Park City

We decided to have one last little vacation before school starts. I had never been to Park City (I know, I can't believe it either) so we headed up for the weekend. We stayed in a condo at The Canyons and had the best time. Saturday we went to the zoo for a few hours then the kids couldn't wait to get to the condo and swim! Sunday we spent the day at the gateway. Justin took the kids to the movie while me and Hailey did some school shopping. I think I have trained her well. She can out-shop me any day. Monday we headed up to the Park City resort where we did the Alpine slide and Alpine coaster. It was so pretty up there and so nice to be out of the heat for a while. We will definately be going back some day.

Max did not like watching us swim from the room....No Fair!!

Max didn't like the gateway fountains quite as much as the other kids.

We finally got around to having Max's birthday party. I was gone to girl's camp when he turned two and I just haven't had time for a birthday party! I decided to do a little beach themed party and I thought it turned out pretty cute. Max hated the candles and wouldn't go near them, but no worries...Danny was totally happy to blow out the candles for Max. Happy Birthday Max! Love you!

Another race

I ran another half marathon that I wasn't ready for. I didn't like it too much and this is the only picture I have. Thanks Michelle.
