Happy Birthday Carter

Happy Birthday to our favorite four-year old! We love you buddy!

Give Peas a Chance

In June 2008, Jeremy and I ran the Wasatch Back Relay with a bunch of strangers (and Clint). The exhaustion and pain was so much fun that at the finish line, I purchased and registered a team for the 2009 race, thinking that it would be even more fun with people we knew.

Yup, it was. We named ourselves Twelve Peas in a Pod, we had nine cousins, two cousins' cousins, one really good buddy, and three AWESOME volunteers.

Thank you Heather, Clint and Jon!!

We started at 8:30 am and finished 31 hours later at 3:30 pm, 10 minutes ahead of schedule.

Cute Katrina and her fiance, Jon, getting ready for Katrina's first leg.

Carrie and Michael in Liberty waiting for the arrival of Van 1.

Um, yes, I'm running. It looks like I'm walking. Sad.

Notre cousin, Michael, qui vient de retourner d'une mission en France.

Me with my sisters before Katrina's second leg. RoseAnna was in Van 1 and Kat and I were in Van 2 so we didn't get to hang out much. Our crazy cousin, Collin, is in the back.

My friend, Emily, and her husband Brian. Runners can have someone on a bike pace them during the night so Brian came and rode with Emily. Aren't they cute?

Before Jeremy's awesome second leg. Aren't we cute too? SAY YES!

Jeremy totally KILLED his 9.8 mile leg and ran it in like 15 minutes--well, not quite but he ran it WAY FAST!

Here's the aftermath of Jeremy's second leg.

Michael and Carrie's last exchange. Michael had just run 4 miles uphill at like a 8% grade and Carrie was about to fly 7 miles downhill. She's one fast woman!

**For a more detailed report on Van 1 including, Collin, Seth, Catlin, Burdette, RoseAnna, and Clay, check RoseAnna's blog and see if she's put anything on there about the race.**

**Jeremy says I can't be a team captain again (I'm hoping not forever) but when/if he changes his mind, watch out for Team Gryffindor running in wizard robes and wands. Just kidding, I've been informed that no one will run with me if we wear robes, but how about Gryffindor socks with golden snitches embroidered on them?**

Anyone wanna run the Vegas Ragnar?

Seven Years

I married this boy seven years ago.

Best thing I ever did!
