H2B 2011

Tyler and I went down to Blanding and ran in the first annual Huff to Bluff marathon. As far as marathons go it was a lot of fun. The scenery, weather, people were all great. Here's a few pictures from the trip down.

We had a Bigfoot sighting on the way back

Here was the only theatre in town with its one show and show time. I think there was one traffic light in town.

We were pleasantly surprised to find out the carnival was in town. Talk about excitement...

This was some of the beautiful scenery that was down there

Twin Rocks cafe located in Bluff.

Tyler and I started laughing the night before when we got our running clothes out and discovered that we had matching outfits for the run. What are the odds? Then during the run a lady asked us if we had planned our outfits to match. Really lady?

It was a fun trip and a nice course. I wouldn't mind doing that one again. Maybe we'll shoot for H2B 2012. The only thing I'd change is to make sure that Tyler and I do coordinate so that we DON'T have the same outfit.

I saw a hummingbird out the other day.... ...so I put out our hummingbird feeder.....

...which means spring in finally here, right?

growing up

It's sure a lot of fun to see your kids growing up and accomplishing things that they set their minds to. Here's a couple things that they've been up to lately... Ty just finished the requirements and passed the test for his Orange belt in Karate. Here's Ty with a couple of his Karate instructors. They've done a great job with him.

He's really worked hard to earn his belts. It's been a lot of fun to see.

Tristyn is a finalist in the seventh grade officer runnings. Here's a couple posters she (and Mom and Grandma) made to hang up at school.

Good luck in the voting Tristyn! We are so proud of you.

Temples

This last conference President Monson spoke a lot about temples and how important they are. I'm grateful to a wonderful Mother who understands this and recently took Tristyn there to do baptisms now that she's 12. She had a wonderful experience. Thanks Mom for taking her and for the pictures. The next time we can go to the Ogden temple it will look a lot different following all the renovations.
