My son's a SPARTAN!

On June 30th, Alex ran the Spartan race in Midway, UT.  He has been training for about a year. I, Dallin and Elijah went to cheer him on. It was great!

Alex and his friend Josh, ready to GO!
Notice the white shorts...





Stretching out




Warming up
Just one last thing to do to get ready...




Getting in the mood...

So, as we were waiting to get a glimpse of Alex nearing the finish line, Elijah said, "If I were training for this race....oh, wait! I WOULDN'T  train for this race!" That made me laugh. Me either Elijah!

30 burpies for every obstacle you can't complete...

Almost done!

What happened to your white shorts Alex?

The last obstacle is people who hit you HARD!

So Proud! And SO DIRTY!

That's my boy!


Last step. Cold showers! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! And you pay money for all this torture!

We went to see Mary, a friend who used to live in Delta, but now lives in Midway.

Happy Birthday 8 year old !!!

Me and my Baby!

Oooooh! We always like money!

Perfect shirt for this boy!

Make a wish...

Elijah and his best friends, Seth, Dallin and Sam

Family California Trip



We have been planning this trip since Christmas time. 
I am sad that it is over.


Of course the boys CANNOT get together without a little wrestling.
We stayed in a Marriott Residence Inn in Placentia, CA. The rooms were nice and we enjoyed their breakfast every morning. It was only about 10 minutes from Disneyland.

Big brothers are sooooo fun!


Day 1 --- Fun in the Sun!
On our way to Huntington Beach. While we were there I realized that it was Memorial day and that 23 years ago on Memorial Day, Adam and I had our first date at that very beach. What a sweet memory!
My five fun and amazing sons!

Me and my darling daughters-in-law
The kids were all fascinated by the little sand crabs.
 
Bathing beauty!




Sand Castle Time!

The Mermaid!

Day 2 --- DisneyLand!



(No Picture of D. Too much sun the day before, so his eyes were sunburned and he couldn't open his eyes long enough to get his picture taken.)
