The park

I finished my first 1/2 marathon! Whew....I am glad that is over.

Here is what I learned:

A 1/2 is A LOT shorter than a full. :)

I would have never run a full if I ran a 1/2 first.

Running with a friend is fun.

Running with a lot of friends is even better.

I don't like running with music. (weird, right?)

Training for a race is super time consuming.

Running/Training takes a lot of support from family.

(thanks Ryan)

(thanks mom and dad for watching the kiddos)

(thanks to the rest of the fam for cheering me on)

Ryan met me at the finish line!

This was literally 10 seconds after I finished. I was so glad to see him and STOP running!!!

I trained with these lovely ladies.

I couldn't have done it without them!

I ran the full in intervals which I loved!

I ran the whole time in this race and finished in 2 h. 12 min. which isn't amazing but good enough for me. My goal was to finish......check.

More pictures from our St. George trip that would not load for me before.

St. G

A couple of weeks ago we were able to get away for the weekend and head to St. George. What a fun and relaxing trip. G & G Martin treated us to some awesome meals. {thank you!} We did a little swimming and soaked up some 90+ degree weather. We also went hiking in that same heat! Uncle Alex and Aunt Elisabeth joined us which made the weekend even better. They were real troopers to put up with Owen's pterodactyl scream and 3 crazy cute girls.

SEE YA LATER 2nd GRADE!

Dru had such a great year. She absolutely LOVED her teacher.

Dru loves spelling and got 100% on almost every test. She also enjoys math like her dad. We are looking forward to a summer of READING, READING and more READING! :)

Dru's class had an open house (yesterday) showcasing all her best art and writing work she completed throughout the year. It was fun to see her with all her class buddies.

Dru had fun taking Owen and Rylie around to meet her friends.

The infamous Mrs. Sibbett!

Olivia graduated from Kindergarten!

She loved her class, her teacher and everything about the school year.

Liv LOVES to read and has really improved this year.

I can't wait to read with her this summer.

I am so proud Liv and the amazing girl she has become.

Olivia wanted to pose for some pictures at home as well. :)

She even wanted to take a picture of some work to do over the summer.

She tried to get a picture with Owen but he would never look up.

She LOVES her brother. (even more than reading)
