Cross Country

Kenzie had a great season in cross country this year! Last week was Region. Going to region she had high hopes to qualify to run at the State competition for the second time. She made it. Her team took 3rd at Region which made it possible for the whole girls varsity team to go. Today was State at Sugarhouse Park in SLC. We weren't able to go watch, but Kenzie reported she had a great time. Her goal today was to have fun! We are so proud of her and her determination to do the best she can. Great job Kenzie!

Fall Break

This Fall Break we took a short trip up North to stay with some friends. We met the Orchards when we bought our first little house nearly 16 years ago. We became fast friends. They are an awesome family and we love hanging out with them. Over the weekend we went to a movie, out to dinner, to Lagoon on Saturday, and just hung out. We had a great time!










On Sunday we went to church in North SL . After visiting with Mike's Dad, we took a drive to see the Bountiful Temple and then to Mueller Park. I love the Fall and wanted to get some pictures of the beautiful colors in the mountains.

Dances

Sadies was a few weeks ago. Kenzie's group had dinner at our house. Kenzie is on the top right and her date is next to her (Dalton). She wanted a low stress date so she asked a good friend:)

Kenzie attended the homecoming dance at her school with a boy from her cross country team, Chad Call. He was also the Homecoming King this year.

St. George Marathon

Today Mike and I ran the St. George Marathon for the 4th time (yes, I know we are crazy). We both battled injuries within the last 2 months, Mike's was the I T Band, and I had bursitis in my hip. Mike got a cortisone injection in his left knee 2 months ago and I had one in my right hip about 2 weeks ago (we must be getting old). Last year it rained the entire run, but this year the weather was great. We trained together and planned on running together, which we did until about mile19, but sometimes you have a great run and other days you don't. I am happy to say that I had a great run this year! Mike's time was 4:11:56 and mine was 4:01:49 (woo hoo!). At this time we are both saying we will never do it again. Hmmmmmmm...seems like we've said that same thing before:)

Ahhhhhhh, we're done. Bring on the ice and ibuprofen.

Noah and Maddie made posters for us.

Let me apologize ahead of time, I know all feet, except baby feet, are ugly, but this was my battle wound for the day. I have never lost a toenail, but I have had a few blisters, nothing this bad. My foot was burning and I had a clear blister when I put vaseline on about mile 18, but I was sure surprised to see this when I got home. It's a good one!
