really enjoyed it.

The GIRLS!!!
Cute little cousins, aren't they cute!

It's true everyone really celebrates the fourth of July because it's my birthday! I can't believe one more year has come and gone, I am the big 25 this year. I love having my birthday on the fourth there is always so much to do. We were able to go to the parade in North Ogden, I went shopping with my sisters, and had a wonderful dinner with my husband, and little girl, and then to top off the night We had family over for cake and ice cream, and had our own firework show, It was a blast!!

Camping in the Rain!

Andrea, Brilee, and Grandma on our little hike, 

which was short lived, due to the nasty mosquitos.

Don't we look rested from a good night of good

old camping!
She is just so cute!!!

We were able to go camping with my family on July 2nd up on Monte Cristo. Despite all the rain during the evening, and the mosquitos all day and night we had a good time. We had a yummy dutch of dinner with cobbler, yummy!

Totally Insane!

YEA! The finish line we all got to run in with 

our last girl.
Me and Cristina!
Ashley and Stacie in our cute shirts!
All of us before the race posing in our hot outfits, one

of the girls made us sparkly skirts to wear over our spandex!

If you ever want to do something where you are up for 24 hours straight, being smashed into a van full of sweaty girls, and running from Logan to Park City then you should do the Ragnar Relay. It's a race made up of teams of 12 people and you each run 3 different legs and you make the trek from Logan to Park City which is 188 miles! It was a ton of fun to get together with all the former Weber State runners, in my van we had two of the girls pumping, and one girl that is 4 1/2 months pregnant, and with all our girls we probably have like 20-25 kids between us, so I think we did pretty good! We called our team the Blaisdell Beauties in honor of our coach who put up with all of us. It was a blast except that I am so stinkin sore! We also were the first women's team so that was pretty sweet!

It's Official We are moving to.......

This is our townhouse we will be renting for at least the next

13 months.
This is in Kansas City in front of a cool fountain, they had

a really nice upscale outdoor mall.
This is a picture of Kansas City Skyline.
This is by Topeka Kansas it was actually a lot prettier

then I thought it was going to be. They have lots of bodies of water

lots of trees, and tons of parks, so that will be nice!

Topeka Kansas. Brian will be attending Washburn University Law School. We are pretty excited. We made a trip back there a few weeks ago, and checked everything out, and we even have a townhouse ready for us when we get there. We will be leaving the first week in August!!

Brilee

Brilee is getting so big, so full of energy, and naughtiness, it is a good thing she is cute!

26.2

I have the best and most supportive husband in the whole world. Brian helped me with my training, allowing me to take time to run my long runs, he even road his bike along giving me water and food! He was so excited for me to reach my goal of finishing the marathon. He bought me the coolest running outfit for mother's day to wear in the marathon. He was all over the course, cheering me on at mile 11, 13, 23, and the Finish Line! 

I LOVE YOU BRIAN!!!
   SWEATY, TIRED, AND SO GLAD TO BE DONE!
Mile 23, one step in front of the other is what I am thinking.
Mile 13, I am actually smiling right now, I was feeling pretty good.

The marathon was a great experience and I am so glad that I did it. My goal was 3 hours and 45 minutes, and I ran it in 3 hours and 42 minutes, goal accomplished! So I am happy to say this was my first and last marathon!

Little Brilee

She was so tired, and couldn't keep her eyes open anymore! 
Me and my girl!
She looks like she is really mad and full of attitude, but really she was praying, so cute!

My sister Jen had her last High School dance Senior Cottilion. The cool thing was that she was up for royalty. She looked beautiful, and I am a little proud, of her hair, it was my best up do yet!  I can't believe she is a senior, and she will be graduating, way to go Jen.

Happy Easter!

I know it's a little late, but better late then never! We had a great Easter, it was fun to spend lots of time with all our wonderful Family.

Egg Hunt #1

We barely made it over to the Harrisville Park at 9:00a.m. for the easter egg hunt. At first Brilee wasn't sure what to do, but when she saw us putting things in her basket she thought that was pretty cool, and then she went to town. It was a ton of fun.
