Family Pictures 2013- Becky Ann Photography


We were able to all get together this summer for family pictures. This summer was so fun with all of the family in town. Becky did an amazing job with the pictures. You should all go check out her website.  beckyannphotography.com 















Zion and St. George

After the race we had decided to stay until Wednesday for a late anniversary trip. It was so nice to have a vacation not to mention it was much needed.  Sunday was spent relaxing and sleeping. Monday we were feeling almost back to normal from the race so we decided to go to Zion to see the narrows.  It was AMAZING. I have never been there so it was extra exciting for me. Tuesday we did some shopping and went to the famous Swigs. The drinks are really amazing and I will be back. We also did the small little hike to Dixie Rock. Wednesday we woke up early and headed back to Zion before we had to pick up Fez.We saw Emerald pools and the zion museum.  It was so nice to be away from work for a week and to spend time with just Riley. Life has been so crazy these last few months that time together doesn't happen as often as we would like.  It was nice to come home but we are already planning are next trip to Zion. 

















 The Virgin River was really high because of all the flooding that has been going on. 



 The Narrows!

Red Rock Relay Zion 2013


Red Rock Relay Zion was so much fun this year. This was are second year doing it and I am 100% sure it won't be the last! Zion is a two day race with a 12 man team.. Or a team of 6 if you are feeling really crazy. Katee, Holliann, Angela, Staci, Reed and Meredith were in Van 1. Me, Riley, Landon, AC, Brad and Celeste were Van 2.  P.S. I know no one cares about who ran the race.. This is for me to remember. :) We started at 6:15 am on Friday and finished Saturday around 5pm. It was a long race but so fun and so worth it. Between, hurt knees and legs, Cattle guards, Rain, cold weather, the burning hot sun, port-o-potties, and sleeping in church parking lots I would say we had a dang good time! Did I mention that I ran my night leg all by myself this year.! Whoot go me! 
This was my first leg of the race. I ran down Cedar Canyon. It was so pretty. 



The team crossing the finish line. Did I mention the pictures are not in order. .

My parents are the best. They were great van support.

Got to keep them legs rolled!


And last but not least.. My Sexy husband. :)

The best two years..


On September 8th we celebrated our 2nd anniversary.  I can't believe it has been two years. Being married is the best and I wouldn't change it for anything. September 8th, 2011 was the best day of my life. I couldn't ask for a better husband. He is my best friend. The last two years haven't always been easy but they have be oh so worth it! Thanks for being so good to me Riley Woods! I am still trying to figure out what I did to deserves you.... I can't what to see what year three has in store for us. :) 














It still puts a smile on my face every time I look at our wedding pictures. There wasn't a moment in the day where I wasn't smiling.


Our first anniversary was spent running are first Relay! This was right before I started my night leg where Riley had to run with me.. So romantic! ha After the race we spent the week in Disneyland.
And for #2........
There is a reason why this photo is in black and White... This year we decided to have a low key day since we will be running the Red Rock again.. after the race we will be staying in Zion and doing some fun hikes.  We started and finished Big bang theory season 2 and had a yummy crab dinner.. I also stayed in my sweats and t-shirt all day long. :) Pure bliss.
I love you Riley Woods. Here is to eternity!
