Top of Utah - #4

At the end of August I ran HALF MARATHON #4 of the year (One more to go to reach my goal - woot woot!!)

I loved being back in Logan and (I know) I love to run! Love it. I'm crazy.

I also loved that my husband, kids, sister, in-laws, sister-in-law, and niece were all at the finish line. How cool was that? Not to mention that two of my bro-in-laws ran the race as well.

Time was 01:53:07.7. Not my best time, but not horrible. I'll run it faster next year :)

Tie Dye Shirts

I wish, wish, WISH I was crafty. However, this is about as good as it gets. Thane's mom gave Alexis a tie dye shirt kit for her b-day so we went to town on the white t's. They actually turned out pretty darn cute for not knowing what we were doing :)

ALEXIS IS 10!!

Alexis turned 10 on October 8th! Can't believe we have a double digits girl. Where has the time gone?


She got spoiled (as usual) but even more so this year as we got her a cell phone. (I know - GULP.) She has been babysitting for us though and is very responsible and mature so we decided she could handle it :) She had NO idea and was very surprised and pleased - can you tell from the below pics? So far, so good. She loves it and hasn't become annoying with it YET!!

Cheesecake instead of birthday cake this year. I bought her trick candles and they completely did NOT work, I was so bummed!!

10 fun facts about Alexis!

BSU boys

My boys were lucky enough to get invited to the BSU game this past weekend (THANKS MIKE!!) Excellent seats and a win make for a great combination. Boise is ALL about football right now so the games are a good time!

P.S. Love that my honey is sporting the big A hat (go Aggies!)
