Family Run

The family put together a Family Run.  At first it was going to be a 5K, 10K & 1/2 Marathon, but the ones putting it on were the only ones doing the 1/2 Marathon, so it ended up being a 5K or 10K. The only two who did the 10K were Maxwell & Tanner!  I was proud of Tanner for doing it, he is a little competitive like his Dad, so that helped motivate him and it was so nice Maxwell ran back after he finished so the two of them could finish together.  It was a lot of family fun!  We may make this a Annual or even Semi-Annual Tradition which would be fun!

Checking out the Animals!!

The kids love to play.  Eric and Annie are getting a house out in Hooper and needed someone to watch their kids for a couple of hours, so we were glad to help and the kids loved having more kids to play with.   Brylee and Tanner LOVE babies, so they of course held Marshall every chance they got.  Belin was the typical 3 year old, busy, busy, busy, so cute and fun!  Spencer was in town with the kids as well, so Crew came over to play, so we had a good time.  We took a walk over to the chickens, and now they have some cows, sheep and chickens.  It is always fun to go see the animals.  The kids were watching the cows when they all said "EWWWW!!"  I said what, they said, "That cow just walked over and pooped right on that other cow that was laying down!"  We all laughed and thought that was pretty funny.  That night we went over to Mom and Dads and Spencer modeled his outfit for the Family run the next day and we of course had some good laughs with him.  Love family!!  Annie asked when she picked up the kids "What do I owe ya?"  I said "What! Are you kidding me, we are family, that is what we do for each other right!!!"  I am grateful for amazing family that are great examples for my kids too and lots of cousins for my kids to play with!!  They keep each other busy, playing, and having fun together!!!  Play Play Play,  What am I going to do to keep them busy all summer long?!?  I got some plans with the crazy, bizzare holidays, plus Tanner is in a Jr Golf League once a week and Brylee Tumbling once a week, other then that work a few days and lots of playing to be done we hope it will be a good summer!!

Girls Night

Brylee LOVES to have Girls Nights.  When Jason is gone to work and Tanner is off to school and it is just her and I on occasion she will say "It is a Girls Night Huh!!"  I think her favorite thing to do for girls night is her fingers and toes.  Now since the whole month of April we were only home for a week and a half and she was with other people most the month.  The night before I left for Women's Conference and they guys had already left for backpacking I was going to take her out to wherever she wanted and do something with just her.  We of course first did our fingers and toes. At first she wanted to go eat at McDonald's, but I gave her some more ideas, and she then decided she wanted spaghetti, so I took her to Olive Garden, just the two of us, she ended up with Alfredo and loved it.  We then went home and watched a show and stayed up late.  I woke up at 6am to hear throwing up, yup you got it she got the bug.  She had jumped out of bed and I didn't even hear her run to the toilet.  I felt so bad for her and didn't know what to do, I was leaving that evening and didn't want to get Grandma Great or my Dad sick by leaving her with them.  I called Dad and he said she would be fine.  After about 10am she quit throwing up and was fine the rest of the day, not completely herself, but at least she was done with all the throwing up.  I was worried about getting sick, but I was yet blessed again not getting the bug that my kids get.  I don't know how I do it, I think a lot of time it is praying hard, or I talk myself out of being sick, maybe that is just me thinking that, but I do believe people do talk themselves into getting sick, so how about talk themselves out of getting sick?!?  Well its my theory anyway!! 

I love the quote above for my Sweet Freckled Girl!!

The "GUYS" Annual Backpacking Trip

 

This year the guys yearly backpacking trip happen to be planned the same time we girls were to go to Women's Conference!!  This was Tanners first year to be able to go and was he ever so excited to miss school for three days, the only three days he missed all school year!! We only had to worry about what to do with Brylee.  Thank Heavens for Dad for letting Brylee be his buddy for a few more days, even after having her for over a week, who could get sick of our Brylee!! 
This year was a fairly easy one, so a good first one for Tanner to start with.  They went down to Escalante,  they hiked in many miles, had three different camp sites along with all the hiking around in the slot canyons and so forth.  Tanner said his favorite was what they called the toilet bowl, they had to get wet to crawl down into it. Matt and Skyler also flew in from Iowa to go this year.  All three of my brothers, Jason & Tanner along with Max & Skyler were able to go this year, along with my cousin Tyler.  This is a fun trip for all.  All the guys Spencer knows, they come from all different careers and different personalities.  Jason says they all get along great & have a good time together.  Spencer is the ring leader of it all and who doesn't have fun when Spencer is around anyway?!?!  They say next year they gotta get Lyman and Eric to go, what are the chances of that?!?  Jason is still trying to get me to go on a backpacking trip, who knows maybe an over-nighter, but more then that I will want my comfy bed or big sleeping mat, I think I am getting too old for the hard ground!!
