First Race

While Diana was visiting we both ran in a 5k race held in Heber City. This was the first race for both of us and I have to say I actually enjoyed it. The scenery was absolutely beautiful up there and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. Diana finished in 29 minutes and I finished in 31 minutes.

All the runners at the start of the race. If you look really close Diana and I are in the far left. (me in a green tank and Diana in a pink tank)

The kids got to have fun at the park while they waited for Diana and I to cross the finish line!

My Long Lost Sister

The last time my sister, Diana, and I saw each other was January 2008 when we were both 7 months pregnant. So a year and a half later, I am happy to say we "finally" got to see each other's little boys and spend some nice time together. She came for a visit all the way from North Carolina and I loved having her here!

Tyler and Thomas finally getting to spend some time together!
Love you sis!

A little bit of heaven

For Christmas this last year the kids got a swing set from both grandparents and it wasn't until just a few weeks ago that they were actually able to enjoy it. With Clint's busy schedule he just really hasn't had a lot of time to put it together until now.

It is seriously a "little bit of heaven" to have it completed and to have a place for the kids to play.

Star Sighting

My sister, Diana, is in town this week visiting from North Carolina and on Tuesday we went shopping at University Mall. While walking around I recognized this voice from behind me. It was so familiar that I knew who it was immediately. I turned around and instantly recognized Tyson from Survivor. (The final episode just aired on Sunday) If you do not watch the show, Tyson was one of my faves with his witty remarks and hysterical comments.

I talked to him for a minute and he really was a nice guy and as witty as he was on the show. What a surprise to see and meet him.

Watch out David Beckham...

Here comes Blake!

Saturday was Blake's first soccer game through the city's youth soccer program. Besides it being bitter cold and windy, we all had a fun time watching these little 4 year olds run up and down the field!

I was not quite sure how Blake would play since this was his first time playing the game and he does not really understand all the rules of the game, but we were all pleasantly surprised. He was right in there trying to get the ball every time and when he did, it ended in a goal. Of the 7 goals his team made, Blake made 4 of them. My little soccer boy. It was "so" cute to see him out there and loving it.

So watch out David Beckham!

Easter Weekend & Fun on the Farm

Over the Easter weekend we headed up to Idaho to spend the holiday with Clint's side of the family. Friday afternoon Clint and I left the kids (except for Tyler) with Clint's mom and spent the day and night in Pocatello. It was really nice to just have a relaxing day to go shopping, have dinner and go swimming. We even met up with our good friends, The Abercrombies, while there and got to see their new baby.

When we got back Clint made sure the kids all had a fun time on the farm. They enjoyed rides on the four-wheeler, riding horses and even helping feed a baby calf whose mom died. The kids always enjoy their time there and love being able to run around.

Making Candy

About a week ago Grandma Nana sent the kids a package in the mail and inside was a candy making kit. The kids were so excited and love the little projects Nana sends our way. So on Tuesday we got the supplies out and the kids used their creativity.

I was really impressed at how well they all did in making the chocolate suckers and it was easy enough they all could participate. Each of the kids made suckers for the neighbors and when they were all done, they loaded up their baskets with the treats and delivered them. It really was a fun project that we all enjoyed.
