Wasatch Back Relay & Ohio Trip

Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay 2009

I ran the Wasatch Back relay this weekend(Logan to Park City-188 miles)
I had the best time!
I was in a van with 5 other girls that I did not know. They were awesome!
We laughed, we ate, we stunk, we drank(Redbull, my 1st time) and we DIDN'T sleep! Well maybe an hour or so.
I am so sore and so ready to do it again next year.

Ok so I can't figure out how to turn the picture, but here I am on my last leg. 1 mile up-then 6.3 straight down. My quads were shakin'!

Alesha's husband brought this trailer for us to sleep in. It was so nice! We were spoiled!

And again, no idea how to turn these....but here I am getting Gatorade all down me.

The hand off

My favorite picture.
Probably because I had just passed this high school kid and I was done with my 1st leg.

Our whole team!

Ohio Trip!!!

I had a great time in Ohio a week ago visiting my sister Angie & kids.
I loved taking the girls somewhere new everyday. I'm pretty sure we went to every park within a 20 mile radius! I especially liked getting to see my new nephew Cameron. He is so cute and I'm sure he is doing more things since I left that I am missing out on...BooHoo!

The girls in their matching bathing suits at the bunny fountains!

The girls the 1st night I got there showing off their room & toys

Me & Ang

Kelly is the master rope-jumper.

And McKenna learned while I was there too.

Cameron tackled me

At Kelly & McKenna's school

Cute baby Cameron

Another park

At the Columbus Zoo; now ranked #1 in the U.S.

At Friendly's

Camille is just adorable. I could have taken her home with me. Whenever I looked at her...she gave a big grin!

Sunday before church I took the girls to the Columbus, Ohio Temple to take some pictures.

The day I left.
It was so sad, I could have stayed forever.
I hope the girls don't forget me.....Maybe I'll go back in a few weeks...haha

Cullan's 9th Birthday!!

Nelson, Lauren & Cullan

Cullan is so fun.
He never asks for much and is so polite that it makes me feel guilty sometimes. "Thanks Mom." when all I've done was get him a drink of water.

He said yesterday on his birthday...
"Thanks Mom for taking us to dinner, thanks Mom for taking us to the movies, thanks Mom for my new bike"......see I start feeling guilty like he has to say 'thank you' because he doesn't get much. If that makes sense?
Ron & Austin were gone so it was just the 4 of us to celebrate but we had a fun day.

My New Bright Shoes!

They really do glow in the dark. People on the canal can see me coming... Saucony sent these to me to wear-test so I guess I gotta wear them. They are super comfy though and now I have some shoes to wear on the Wasatch Back Relay!

Our 1st Eagle scout!!

Austin received his Eagle scout award on Sunday. We are really proud of all the work he did to achieve it.
He is such a happy kid and has such a cute smile!! I know he's gonna love that I said that!

Austin & his best friend Chase got their Eagle together.

Haha So funny. I made them do that!

Proud Parents

Yep, a true Eagle scout!

What a cute smile!

Austin gave his mentor pin to Lisa. She actually deserves the Eagle award!
Thanks Lisa for your endless hours of work!

Ron's parents got home from their 2 year mission to Thailand last week. It's so good to have them back. They are great examples to all of us!
