24th of July!

We ran the 10K as a family this year!  Allison, Preston and I trained together and ran it together!  It was so much fun!  After the run we watched the parade, then ate at taco time and headed home to shower and get ready for Evan's birthday party!  We had a birthday bash for Evan that night and had so much fun!

 

Cute little Sam ran the 10K in under an HOUR!!!

NWP Ragnar!

We flew to Seattle to run the Northwest Passage Ragnar.  It was my favorite Ragnar so far!  The scenery was stunning and running at sea level.... EASY!!!!!  It was so easy to breath!!!  We had so much fun playing in Seattle for 2 days before the race and then running all over Whidby island.  Our team was so much fun and the memories we made are priceless!  I want to run this Ragnar again...  Maybe in a few years since next year we are running in Hawaii!!!!

 

In Seattle!!!

 

The starting line was in a park that is half Canada and Half USA!

 

This was the scenery...  UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

 

Our van!

So many good times and amazing friendships!!!

Dorothy

This little lady had her pictures taken by the beautiful and talented Maizey Montague!!!! They turned out beautiful, look at those big brown eyes, pouty lips and freckles!!! She is stunning, but even more important is her inner beauty, which makes her outer beauty pale in comparison!!!! 

Happy Birthday Ruby!!!!

This little peanut is the perfect addition to our family!  Shes so spunky and cute!  She always wants to be in the middle of whatever is going on!  She wanted a Minnie's Bowtique party and invited 10 little friends over!  She was adorable at her party and loved every second of it!!!!

 

Happy 3rd Birthday Ruby!!!!

 

Dorothy was in charge of games and entertaining the kids during the party!!!!  

4th of July!!!

This holiday is one of my very favorite!  We spent the day as a family and met up with cousins for dinner.  We had a BBQ and then went over to Allison and Jon's house for dessert and fireworks!  The kids love playing with cousins!!!

 

4 cute little kids!!!

Summer FUN!!!

We have spent the Summer sleeping in (kind of if 7:30 is sleeping in), staying up late watching movies and going to the library! 

 

We loved this movie!

 

Two cuties in the morning!!!!

Elk Ridge City Day!

I love this little town we live in!  The kids wanted to participate in Elk Ridge days parade so we decorated our 4 wheeler and went!  They threw out candy and waved to all their friends!  The next day we went to the city carnival and purchased some crafts at the craft fair!  I love where we live so much and feel such a sense of family here!
