Marathon Relay

Since I figure I will most likely never run a marathon, because my knees are bad that I should try a relay. My brother Christian and 3 of my friends( Andrea, Ann Marie, and Lily) all did a marathon relay on September 11 each of us had to do 5.2 miles. It was so much fun, I swear you do one and then you are addicted to running races, just the energy and the excitement that is there is awesome. My goal was to run it in an hour, and I did better then I thought, I completed it in 55 min so I was happy about that. As a team we finished in 4 hours and 15 min. I so glad I did it and thanks team and remember, Live Long and Perspire( that was our team name).

Firetruck ride

Our friends and neighbors the Kelly's have a little boy named Myles who loves trucks. I told Andrae a couple of weeks ago that we should go to the "Hook" for dinner and then a firetruck ride. Since the weather was getting a little cold I decided that we needed to do it soon or we would miss our chance this year. So Friday we took them for Myles first firetruck ride, it is so fun to see how excited little kids get, he was so cute. After the ride we came back to the hook and let Myles and Eliza honk the horn and pretend to drive it, here are a couple of pictures.

Preschool

My little Eliza has started preschool, I can't believe she is of age already. Although I'm a little sad my girl is growing up, she on the other hand was so excited for the first day of school. The night before school I wanted to make sure she went to bed early so we could get up and be on time for school. Eliza was so excited she couldn't fall asleep, it reminded me of the night before Christmas, tossing and turning and talking to herself. Eventually she fell a sleep, when I came down in the morning to wake her up the first thing she wanted to do was put on her back back, she just loves that thing. As we left for school in the car she had to tell me that she was to walk up to the door first( miss independent). I think she why she wasn't scared is that her Great Grandma Robin is her teacher so that made the first day a little easier I feel. I know she will have fun this year, she enjoys school and loves to learn new things.

2010 Football season has arrived

As most of you know my husband is a big sports fanatic, he enjoys watching every sport especially football. As the summer draws to an end, along with cooler temperatures, the changing colors of the leaves, also comes football season. Last week we had the opportunity to go to the Pittsburgh and Utah game, it was such a blast! It is always nice to spend some time with just Jeff and I( which rarely happens) and what a great game it was, we both lost our voices( felt as if we had a cold) from screaming so loud. There were many times throughout the game where I thought we had lost the chance to win, but those Utes hung on strong and won it in over time, Go Utes!!!




You would have thought with all the people there I could have asked some one to take our picture, but no, had to pull out take it yourself skills.
