Wasatch Back

We Decorated our van before the race!
Me on My FINAL RUN- This was the longest and hardest of all 3 legs. I ran a total of 18 miles, this one was up hill for 5 miles.



Right after the Race


AT THE SPA
Well I did it!! The Ragnar Relay Wasatch Back was totallyAWESOME!!!! Not to mention I made some new friends! How can you NOT become close when you are in a van for 24 hours, sleeping on a highschool floor with hundreds of other runners, showering in a highschool community shower at 2 AM-NOT TO MENTION FREEZING together with a group of ladies!! I will have to admit it was FUN!! I did great on all 3 legs of my runs conquering mountains and bugs! The best part was having a spa day after the race was all over!!

MIA

Who says summer is lazy, I think I've been WAY busier since the kids got out of school. Just trying to stay on top of the house, which is a total disaster 90% of the time. Does anyone out there feel my pain? That is one of the reasons I have been MIA!


Next to December May is probably the next busiest month of the year. I really don't understand why all the teacher cram EVERYTHING, projects, concerts etc into one month. BLAH!! Just a warning, there will be lots of pictures of our May happenings.





Kaden had an end of the year summer concert. It was really very fabulous. The all go t matching Tshirts and sung their little hearts out. The sang The World is a Rainbow, One Small Voice, When I grow Up, and the Kindergarten Song.






Kaden had a day of fun the last week of school. They went to Sunflower Farm. You can feed animals, play in the tree houses, corn mazes, sit by a campfire, ride the zipline, and get totally exhausted. Kadens kindergarten class a had an awesome time. I am so sad he is out of kindergarten, he learned so much this year, and his teacher Mrs. Vogel-Pitts was GREAT!



Next came the yearly Erie town Fair and Balloon launch. This is a yearly tradition and they all launch just outside our door on the Vista Ridge Golf Course. This year my mom came along and it was beautiful as usual.                                                          Yep-some nightime trampoline jumping.

The cousins from Utah came for a quick visit on their way to Alabama. Our kids have so much fun together.



There are some perks to having a husband as a police officer. The kids in the neighborhood love it when he brings the police car around. The cousins thought it was pretty cool too!

                                                                  CRIMINALS!!!!!



That pretty much wraps up our 2010 May. Super exciting, I mean exhausting. I didn't even post feild day, baseball, 5th grade graduation, training for the Ragnar Relay next week, etc.....

I've been busy pounding away with my hammer and have created some fun samples.  These are just some of my firsts and many more to come.  I am just so excited I wanted to get them on the blog.  Every item is sterling silver and natural gemstones.

Also because these are made by hand, part of the uniqueness that I love is that sometimes the letters don't line up perfectly.  This is not a flaw but actually adds charm to the hand forged piece.  I can make just about anything, so custom orders are expected!
