Ragnar Baby!

Happy 30th Birthday, MK, you're officially old!

Ragnar!

This is me in my gear ready for my night run, reflective vest, headlamp and LED light on back. IT was so much fun running at night with all the people in the neighborhood I was running in cheering us all on and giving us high fives.

Sarah, thanks for talking me into joining your team, it was awesome.

This is my awesome team! From left, Liz Findlay, Angie Nelson, Jerilee Jones, Courtney Crofts, me, Lindsay Healey, and Sarah Thomas. Girl power, seriously!

This is me running in the distance beginning of my second run from 9-10 pm.

Well, if there's anything ever to post about, it would be doing the Ragnar Wasatch Back Relay! It was crazy, it was exhausting, it was fulfilling, it was a party, it was crowded, it was emotional, it was running! 1025 teams, almost 13,000 runners, 18.3 miles for me, 188 total miles, lots of gatorade and bagels, lots of fun!

A Year Goes by So Fast!

Cute Family Pic!

Well, it's true, Charlotte is a year. It has been such a wonderful year, maybe a harder few months in the beginning, but we couldn't be happier to have Charlotte in our home. Having three kids is definitely crazy a lot of the time, but we've seemed to figure it out. Jeremy has been such a great dad this year. He has put many of the things he loves to do on hold, so that he can be home more. Boy, have I appreciated it. Way to go, Dad! We love you so much and thank you for all that you sacrifice for us!

Charlotte is truly a gem. She smiles all the time, loves to play with her brother and sister, and is just as independent as my other kids. She really never stops to amaze us with how fast she is doing everything and really taking it all in. I see her playing with Tyler and Grace and running around the house with them and I can see that she wants to be all grown up like them. We celebrated Charlotte's birthday by going camping, well not really, it just happened that we had planned a trip down to Arches on her birthday, we had cake when we got home. We went with my parents and had such a blast. The kids did terrific on all our hiking adventures. Neither of the kids asked to be held on the whole delicate arch hike. I must say, they are hiking kids. When you haven't been to Southern Utah in a while you can forget how beautiful it is. It's so fun to be able to share with your kids things you grew up with. Red Rock is one of mine!

When we got home we did the whole cake thing, and Charlotte just dug in. I guess I did a good job with the cake, cause she loved it!

Jeremy dressed the kids all coordinated for Memorial Day, so cute! I never do it, so Jeremy had to fill in on the cheesiness. I just love this picture of all of them. I can't seem to get a good picture of Tyler these days, so this will do. Yes, he thinks he is smiling. Look below, I think he gets it from his dad.

We then took a Thomas the Train ride on the Heber Creeper. The kids had a blast as we creeped along slower than I can run.

Charlotte ended up just picking the whole piece up and taking bites, my kind of girl!
