Adam's Canyon

Adam's Canyon is a fun Hike that is 5 minutes away from our house. This was Bo's first hike. He did really well and this will not be his only hike! It was so pretty and green! I love living in Utah. I also love the fact that we have tons of place to hike around where we live.

Bo and Riley all ready to go.

Cute little family... This picture was taken minutes before I my arm and fingers started to swell from a bug bite of some kind.. Riley kept asking me if I was okay... My response was, " If I can still breath I think I will be okay." I never stopped breathing don't you worry.



I have to leave you with a picture of Mr. Fez. He was unable to attend the hike. . . He doesn't like nature. :)

Ragnar 2013

This Year we did the Ragnar Wasatch Back! Oh my goodness it was fun. I always love a good relay! We were in van one this year. This race will be one that we do again.. If you have never done a relay I highly recommend it! It is hard but so worth every painful second.

My first leg was one of the hardest things I have ever ran. It started with 3 miles of uphill rock madness and ended with 4.2 miles of running down a freaking crazy rocky canyon... Dodging rocks and cars was not part of my training program... But I lived to tell the tale. :)

My second leg was pretty mild. a few hills but nothing to crazy. I did get a little grumpy at this point.. (did I mention that the day before Ragnar I was at girls camp? Girls game Tuesday and Wednesday, putting me home at 11:00 Wednesday night. Then waking up at 3am to be in Logan On Thursday...) But my husband is a champ and helped me through my tired meanness.. Is that a word? is now.

My last and final leg was pretty easy. I still feel I could have done better but such is life. NEXT YEAR!

I can't be done with this post until I give a high five to my van mates. :)

Riley Woods- My racing raptor. You can climb a hill like its NOTHING!!!!!! And you are speedy! We are all so lucky to have you on our team.. I could never get through a relay without you by my side!

Katee Lee- The Icy Hot QUEEN!!!! You are freaking amazing. I wish I could be like you. Even if I was to work twice as hard as you... You would still beat me... You never give up even when you are in pain... Oh and Tum Tum Tum Tum Tummmmmssss

Meredith- I don't know how we are going to do this next relay without you. You are the mom to the team and we all look up to you so much. You are always there to keep everyones spirits up no matter what!!! And you are a kick butt runner. . . . :)

Amanda- The girl can run. I loved having you on the team and I know there will be many more relays to come with you. Maybe one day I will be fast like you. :)

Colton- He didn't die in the heat. :) Relays are 50 time more funny with this boy. Not to mention he is also pretty dang fast.

LOVE MY TEAM (VAN)
Until next time.   P.S. GO RED!  Enjoy the pics below
