Mona 5K

Ran my first 5K. Running is really NOT my thing but in May my sweet friend Melissa invited me to start "power walking" with her. This turned into run/walking with the emphasis on walking. Then we moved up to a little more running and then before we knew it, we were running the whole way! So we decided to try the 5K in Mona, Utah in July where you run on dirt roads through the lavender. It was a beatiful morning, they were a little slow getting the race started, but we got going and our goal was not to be last...we did it! Our sweet husbands ran the race to and did awesome! We would have loved to have ran with them, but we are slower and our legs are not that long :) So Melis & I plugged away, finding neighbors and friends along the race. We finished & we were thrilled & it was so wonderful to do it together. So way to go my friend and we did it even earlier than we thought we could - next race - Onion Days 5K.

Stewart Falls

We did a couple of fun hikes this summer and one we did was to Stewart Falls above Sundance.
It took us about 2 hours to go up and back and the girls actually enjoyed it. The best part was to be together as a family - it's nice to be away from all the stuff going on in life and just be together. We have such sweet girls and we love them so much. We appreciate them coming with us and we know, in the not to distant future, we won't be "cool" to hike with or really do anything with for that matter! So we did it, we made it and together as a family...such a sweet memory!!

welcome izzy!

We've got a new lil' girl in our home...Isabella or "Izzy". Our family has never owned a dog before so this is a whole new experience for our girls. (for the parents too!!) She was 6 weeks old when we brought her home & after a couple of sleepless nights she's finally settled in & likes her new home. We really love her and we have adjusted pretty good with having a new little one.
