My last big acomplishment this year was completing the St. George Marathon = 26.2 miles. I did it in 4 hours 43 minutes. I ran with a friend of mine Mindy Lambert! She kept me going and was glad to have a partner! I'm afraid now that it is over my motivation is dwindling with getting my butt out of bed to work out! :)
We hung out for a bit downtown the other day. The kids love going on the merago round! It was a bit to cold to swim, but that did the trick!
We also had a ward activity that we made box cars for but ended up not going because Saidee was sick. The kids still got a kick out of them around the house so the effort wasn't a complete waste! :)
Time keeps flying and we can't wait for the Holidays!

My Beautiful Baby Girl!

Saidee turned three Aug. 27th. My sister Jessica took some pictures of her. I don't know when it happened, but she is not a baby anymore and is starting to act like this little lady (besides her tantrums:)) Oh I love her so much!
The same day as Saids Birthday Jessica and I were able to experience one of the biggest accomplishments in my life... The Utah Half Ironman...1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride, 13.1 mile run = 70.3 I finnished in 6 hours 5 minutes and 48 seconds. It was an amazing experience (one I am pretty sure I won't have again) and I want to thank my sister for makeing, yes makeing me do it! She pulled me through the training and we endured to the end. Thank you for the mental and emotional support! I want to thank my cousin Madison for being so willing and wanting to spend almost all of her summer nights at my house so that I was able to got train while the kids were alseep! And our families for doing everything from support, watching kids, to kayaking while we swam! It's finally over!

Saidee's turning THREE!

Okay....I can't believe this is me saying I am getting my little girl ready for school this week! She is so excited! She will be going to Ms. Janea's Little Patch of Heaven Monisory!
The summer has gone by fast, especially training for our Half iron man coming up in about two weeks! It is on Saidee's Birthday August 27th, so we had a Birthday party with friends early, then will do a family one later. She wanted an Ariel Party......(so she got an Ariel Birthday cake:)) Our cute friend Jaxon also has an August Birthday so we did the party together! Thanks everyone for coming!
Then today our friends Lindsey and Brandon (thank you so much for putting it together for me) brought over Saidee's present from me. Her and Jordan pretty much were on it for hours after church. I think Jordan might have slept on it and at rate he was kicking and screaming when I made him get off!

Random Events!

We are so happy the weather has been good to be outside! We've been hanging out at the pool a lot!
Today the kids and I went up to Winchester to play and ride with our friend Karen and her horse Tanner. Saidee had a ball! When I told her it was time to get down to let Karen ride alone, she said... "then its my turn again." She is so cute!
Then this evening we had a few pickings from the garden! I can't wait till the tomatoes are ready to pick for fresh salsa! Everything is growing good! Also our peach trees have peaches this year!! Yeah!
The Trip to Europe was fun! I spent time in London, Paris, and Germany. The group of girls I went with are still there, so when they return (they have all the pictures) I will post some pictures! And it's always nice to be back home!
