Moab marathon

I never imagined I would run a 1/2 marathon- let alone pay to run one!- However- last month on March 19th- My sisters, Mom, Dad & I drove down to Moab to run 13.1 miles- My dad was our cheering section and my mom did the 5 mile!-



On our backs we all had "Runnin for Kutt"- it made be proud to be running for him- I'm sure he was looking down on us cracking up and thinking we were crazy!
It was a huge accomplishment for me- if you know me- I am not and never will be an avid runner- It definetly does not come easy for me, but I love how I feel after I am done!- I am so glad Jody inspired me and so thankful that Courtney likes to go my pace! I was so proud of my Mom, it was a huge thing for her, she had gone to the doctor the day before and has bone spurs in her neck- it would have been so easy for her to give up and say I can't do it- She did a great job!- My dad was quite a trooper himself- He drove us all the way down and all the way back- it was a quick trip, but very memorable!

Winter fun!

We have so much fun every winter- my kids love the outdoors and love to be on the go! Easton learned to ski this year- I was going put him in lessons, I decided to take him up to the hill the night before and see if he liked it or not!- Luckily, his Aunt Courtney was their and he loved it!- He was flying down the hill after the first couple runs- it terrified me to see him going so fast- I kept yelling for him to slow down- he would just smile and say- "It's to much fun."



Cat hunting (Mountain lion) is the other thing that keeps the boys busy in the winter- Jay has 8 hound dogs and loves to take them out anytime he has fresh snow or gets called on a track- Hunter loves to go with him, he usually gets to invite a friend along- Hannah & Tyler are usually the lucky ones!- They always have a blast!





Sledding is the other thing my family loves to do- the best part is, we have a sledding hill in our back yard! My dog Ki-Ki even joins in the fun- she loves to chase the kids down the hill!










Every year Jay & I usually take a trip to Mexico- however- we didn't get to go this year, we figured the next best thing was to take the kids on a little mini vacation to a super fun hotel in SLC that has a water park inside the pool!- The kids loved it- it definetly wasn't my pick but we had a great time!
