Baby Shower!

On Saturday August 6Th there was a baby shower for my cousin April! I am so excited for April and Ben and their soon to be Baby Girl!

Brooke and I drove down to American Fork. I was so great to be with family, laugh and talk, hug, and to make girly noises at all the cute little baby things. Why are things so much cuter when they are smaller? I just can't help but melt and want to buy it all.

I can't wait to see their sweet little girl! Congrats April and Ben!



This is the cute little onssie that we got for the baby and then we got her some diapers. :)

Minnetonka Cave

Yesterday Me, Mom, Skyler and Brooke went up to Bear Lake and went and Hike the Minnetonka Cave. It was so much fun! I have not been there since I was little. We learned a lot and got our exercise in. :) I think I heard out guide say it was like 850 stirs round trip. lol

This is one of the Chipmunks that were out in the parking area. this one was the fattest of the all. you could tell that people fed him a lot but he was so so cute how could you not. :)

Brooke, Sky and Me at the entrance




Pictures inside the cave. We learned a lot of interesting facts and had a few laughs.









































After the cave we stopped at La Beaus and had hamburgers fries and Raspberry shakes! Yummy! What a wonderful day! Thanks Mom!

Harry Potter 7.2

We saw the movie in 3D and our glasses looked like Harry's :)




So on Friday July 15th Skyler Mom and I went to go and see Harry Potter. Oh Man I love that movie! It is so so so good! I am kind of sad to see it go. It has been so fun to see the movies and to watch the actors go up. I am happy with how it ended. :) I love Harry Potter!

Ragnar Relay: Wasatch Back 2011



Yeah We all survived Ragnar!!! June 17-18 was the Ragnar relay: Wasatch Back.


Just some information about Wasatch Back.. It starts in Logan and ends in Park City. This year it was 191.7 miles. The Wasatch back is a relay running event. Most teams consist of 12 runners. each runner has a different amount of miles to run and difficulty of the run. There are 2 vans. Van 1 has runners 1-6 and van 2 has runners 7-12. there are exchanges where one runner passes the slap bracelet to the other runner and then there are major exchanges where Van 1 finishes and Van 2 starts. They keep going and going until they finish. the idea is that as Van 1 is running Van 2 is either eating or sleeping and when van 2 is running van 1 is eating or sleeping. This really does not allow much time for any of that though. Also most teams have to provide 3 volunteers to help out for the race. now volunteer is a iffy word for this because they are part of the team but if they don't show up to their scheduled time the team gets disqualified. now that puts a lot of pressure on the volunteer. plus you can have 2 drivers.


I love the Ragnar motto "Run, Drive, Sleep? Repeat" it is so so true.


This year our team was #756(of about 1100 entries) and the name was "Top Run". Now I say "our" team because it was a family event this time. Melinda, Logan, and Spencer Ran the race and Me, Mom, Grandma and Grandpa were volunteers.


Mom got an awesome volunteer spot and helped Monday before the race and put together packets for the vans. Grandma and Grandpa went to the starting line and where helping out up there. they had to be there at 1:30 am to 7:30ish am. then I had a water station on leg 11 up trappers loop and handed out water or power aid to the runners as they started a very steep incline. I had a blast! I met some fun ladies and cheered a lot. i got to see some of the fun and interesting costumes... the guy in the speedo(yuck) the bear bum viking,(yuck) and some of the cute ones. my time was from 12-5:30pm.


Melinda was runner #3 and she did amazing!! her three run miles were 5.6 4.9 3.6=14.10 miles. Man we love being her support team. it is so much fun to cheer her on and drive ahead a little bit and wait and cheer again and do it again and again. on her second run we were able to do this and it was fun. we were cheering for this other guy to, just randomly, and then this SUPER HOT guy ran by. Oh Man!! he was so hot and so buff and worth dreaming and drooling over. Mom totally hung out the window and cat called at him and he had this smile on his face( we could not tell if it was.. ya i know i am hot or i can't believe this lady just did that) sadly we never saw him after that.


Logan was runner #8 and his miles were 3.4 7.0 5.9=16.3. he did great! we got a lot of pics of him running(down below) we got to cheer him on also. it was super fun. Him and Specner were in the same car and they had a good time and lots of memories.


Spencer was runner #12. Oh man can i just say how amazing he did and how proud of him i am. he had 3 very hard runs and he kicked but. his three runs were 4.7 6.9 6.9=18.5. i think that they were mostly all up hill with rough turaine and other crazy things. now because of the difficulty of his runs we were not allowed to go along and cheer him on. on his second run he ran right past Aunt Shireleens house and since that is were we were staying i was so excited to go out and cheer him on. i went out at 4 am and started cheer for every person that came by. since it was dark i could not see who was coming so i cheered for everyone.. one guy told me that i was crazy and to go back to bed. well i was out there for 30 min. and i never saw Spencer. so i called his phone to see if someone in the car would pick up and Spencer did. My heart sank! I missed him. he ran past just before i got out there. but then they came back to aunt shirleens and ate and slept a little and so i got to give him a hug. Since he was #12 he was the last on and had the one to run into the finish line. He had his buddies on the Davis high xc team that he was trying to stay a head of on this run and he was so awesome and came in and stayed in front of him. :) when he came to a specific point the rest of the team could join him and they could all finish the race together. it was awesome! i am so proud of them!


so the fastest team to come into the finish line was the BYU XC team. there total time was 18:38:18.7.. now that is super fast. My mom was talking to them after and they were so nice and gracious. The Davis High xc team came in at 20:29:09.8 and was #3 and #4 team to come in was Spencer's coach and their time was 20:37:21.2


Top Run came in at 31:58:14.5... Yeah I think that it is amazing!


It was so much fun to participate and be part of the team without running :)


here are some of the pics that i did get to take....


Snapshot of Spencer... Tired, sleep deprived, and sore!

Love ya Bud!
