How did I get signed up for a 50-mile Relay Race?

What I want to know is how I got myself talked into this?  I love my sister and all but...  Well, I decided that since I was weak for a moment and got talked into this that I'd better start training in order to not be the slowest person on the team.  Yesterday I went for a 6 mile run that took me just under 1 hour.  I haven't run like that in a long time, and I am pretty stoked with how well I did.  However, I am sure paying for it today.  I am so sore that I think my sore is sore!  I am hoping that I can not only finish my portion of the relay with a good time, but that I can also get in shape while I am training!  Here is to a little butt!

I came across this picture, and I thought it was pretty cool. This is my fantastic husband and I on the beach in Hawaii! This was hands down the best vacation I have ever been on, and with all the cold weather we've been having - it's nice to just think about happier (warmer) times... I would love to take my kids over there and enjoy the warm, sandy beaches, but for now I would just appreciate 70 degree weather here in Utah!!!!

A True Friend!

I just wanted to take the time today to let a true friend know how much she is appreciated and loved. I can't even imagine my life without having Ashley as a friend. She has taught me so much about life: how to be a friend, how to care for 24 teenage girls, how to clean a hip-hop routine, how to control OCD (hehe), but most importantly - how to love family and friends. I am going to miss Ashley so tremendously that words can't even express. She has been a complete joy to work with at Davis High School, and I have been so proud to call her my C0-Coach! I know that we will still keep in touch, but practices won't be the same without her sitting to my left (always to my left!) I love you Ashley and just wanted you to know that! You are an amazing woman and have not only been a fabulous coach and mentor to 100's of D'Ettes, but also to me.

Bryce Canyon Day Trip

Here are some pics of my family this weekend at Bryce Canyon in Southern Utah! We had a great time and really enjoyed spending some time with the kids - no TV's, video games, computers. It was just a two-day trip, but it was great to get away.

New York!

OK! Admittedly, I am the worst blogger in the world... I am finally putting up a new post. This pic was taken in New York of the team at the competition. The girls did really well and brought back a lot of trophies. I was very proud of them. The trip was a blast - New York is a crazy place, but it was so much fun!

Here is a picture of our family cabin. We love this picture so much because it just captures everything that is beautiful and wonderful about this place. We enjoy spending time there in the summers, but it is even more amazing in the winter. It is so peaceful!
